Ow did new scientific knowledge help the building of the Panama Canal?

History
1 answer:
Ann [662]3 years ago
6 0

New scientific knowledge helped the building of the Panama Canal, as fewer workers got sick from malaria and yellow fever.

The discovery that yellow fever was transmitted by mosquitoes was made in 1891, but most sanitary officials didn't know or didn't give relevance to it.

However, captain William Gorgas did know about this and successfully helped to eradicate yellow fever and malaria in the Canal Zone, despite the opposition from U.S. officials who wanted to discredit his work.

President Theodore Roosevelt supported Gorgas and the Panama Canal was completed by 1914.

How has flooding and the overflow of Louisiana’s rivers impacted the state over time? (1) It has allowed Louisiana to enjoy grea
Natali [406]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Los Angeles flood of 1938 was one of the largest floods in the history of Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties in southern California. The flood was caused by two Pacific storms that swept across the Los Angeles Basin in February-March 1938 and generated almost one year's worth of precipitation in just a few days. Between 113–115 people were killed by the flooding.[1] The Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Santa Ana Rivers burst their banks, inundating much of the coastal plain, the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys, and the Inland Empire. Flood control structures spared parts of Los Angeles County from destruction, while Orange and Riverside Counties experienced more damage.[1]

The flood of 1938 is considered a 50-year flood.[2] It caused $78 million of damage ($1.42 billion in 2019 dollars),[2] making it one of the costliest natural disasters in Los Angeles' history.[3] In response to the floods, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other agencies began to channelize local streams in concrete, and built many new flood control dams and debris basins. These works have been instrumental in protecting Southern California from subsequent flooding events, such as in 1969 and 2005, which both had a larger volume than the 1938 flood.[3]
