From the preface: This work is largely an outgrowth of the experiences in building the great dams in the Tennessee Valley. 'Whan that vast construction program was started late in 1933, the urgency to help relieve nationwide unemployment conditions demanded that construction be started almost simultaneously with the engineering planning. This resulted in placing unusual demands on a sound program of construction planning.' Ackerman was an engineer on the Tennessee River projects and author of many engineering articles. Locher served as Construction Consultant for the TVA.
