Abstract
See page and sand boils landward of Mississippi River levees have been a problem during major high waters. After the 1937 high water, the Mississippi River Commission initiated a general study of under seepage and various methods to control it. The specific purposes of the study were to develop a better understanding of the phenomena of seepage beneath levees and of factors influencing underseepage, to obtain information pertinent to analyses of underseepage, to develop and evaluate control methods, to develop formulas and criteria for their design, and to evaluate construction and maintenance problems.
