Water Resources: Hydraulics and Hydrology
were based on my class notes. My chapters in the third book were based on lectures I had
given at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.
Publications and Consulting Work
The first book I did was Water Resources Planning and Development, based largely on work
I had done in Sacramento. The second one was River Engineering and the third was joint
with David Stephenson of South Africa on Water Resources Development in Developing
Countries, which was published in England.
So it sounds like you've done some significant consulting overseas then?
Not really. I've done very little consulting, but I've done a fair amount of lecturing. I'm
preparing a lengthy manuscript now on Inland Navigation and Canalization for the Chinese,
and in October, I'm going to lecture on that in China in Beijing,
and Wuhan. The
Chinese are interested in building navigation projects on a number of rivers. I visited the
Three Gorges site a number of years ago, and the project is under construction. I'll get to go
back and get another look at it.
Well, that's a huge project, isn't it?
A:
Yes, it is.
I guess Lloyd
been doing some consulting with them on that on and off.
A:
I don't know. Various people were, but then the American environmentalists raised so many
objections to the project that U.S. support for it vanished, and the Canadians are now
involved. I really don't know of any Americans who are still involved.
I know in about
Jack Morris was very much hoping that China would become the
new Saudi Arabia, I think to replace it as far as a new source of work was concerned.
Right. The first time I was there was about 1987. Then I was there again about 1988. At
A:
that time, the Americans were still very much involved, the Bureau of Reclamation,
especially.
