Section 33-17-2 Legislative intent; construction of chapter. The Legislature hereby
makes the findings of facts and declaration of intent hereinafter set forth in this section.
The construction of a navigable waterway between Demopolis, Alabama and the Tennessee River,
utilizing the channel of the Tombigbee River, would provide a new transportation route of

tributary streams will eliminate much of the damage caused by flooding and will also permit
improved farming practices and better land use. It is the intention of the Legislature by
the passage of this chapter to implement the provisions of Amendment No. 270 of the...
