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 great importance
and would stimulate the development of commerce, agriculture and industry in many sections
of the state. Local flooding along the tributary streams of the Tombigbee River occurs frequently
in the growing and harvesting season and causes considerable damage to agriculture in the
affected sections of the state. Improvements in the channels of the 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...
