Improvement of the Hudson River by Narrowing the Navigable Fairway
This paper applies to the problem of pier extensions in the Hudson River west of the Island of Manhattan, the broad hydraulic principles of waterway design. It presents data indicating that successive encroachments on the navigable fairway by the extension of piers have set in action natural forces which have scoured the river bottom, actually increased the cross-section area at a substantial saving in dredging expense, and, contrary to generally accepted statements, have actually decreased tidal current velocities.
