Summarize the ?Trying to Control Flooding of the Wild Missouri River? Case study
People considered the river to be something that was a steady state system and something that could be controlled. This was not the case and it still flooded despite the engineering and money put into the dams and levees. This shows us that it is very hard to try to control nature.
