The study is of foundation and soil mechanics features of recently completed structures in the U.S. Army Engineer division, Lower Mississippi Valley, Corps of Engineers. The Yazoo City Pumping Station was designed by the Mississippi River Commission and built under the supervision of the U.S. Army Engineer District, Vicksburg, Mississippi. The foundation investigations and design of the dewatering system were made by the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station.
