Reflections of Many Waters. A History of the Walla Walla District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1981-2000. Part 1 of 2, Chapters 1-7.

摘要

The entire history of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, has been closely tied to the development of water resources and navigation on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. Reflections of Many Waters highlights the overall importance of our water resources and navigation mission and our close relationship with protecting and enhancing both natural and cultural environments as well as collaborating with local, state, tribal, regional, and other federal agencies. It is my pleasure to introduce this update to the history of the Walla Walla District, focusing on the years 1981-2000. Establishment of the Walla Walla District coincided with the construction of McNary Lock and Dam on the Columbia River in November 1948, along the Washington-Oregon state boundary.
