- Description:
- The author opposes the building of Tuttle Creek Dam and other dams in Kansas, arguing that a Complete Watershed Program with retention dams would be more effective in protecting fertile land and preventing soil depletion. They believe that the national budget should be cut and non-essential expenditures on large dams should be eliminated. The author also expresses concern about the increasing population and the power of the corps of engineers, advocating for a more sustainable approach to water management.
