水道实验站位于密西西比州的维克斯伯尔(Vicksburg,Missippi)。1927年密西西比河洪水灾害后,1929年美国陆军工兵兵团创建了水道实验站。为实验河流洪水控制计划,建立了一个小型水力研究实验室。不久之后,由于进行基础工作和防护堤设计工作的需要,增加了一个土力学实验室。若干年后,由于工兵兵团和国家的需要,又增加了更大的实验室。至今,它已发展成占地683英亩,拥有最现代装备,世界上著名的机构。每年约有三万人来实验站参观访问,其中有五百名左右的外国访问者。水道实验站每年用于工作发展计划的费用约一亿美元。
The Water Experiment Station is located in Vicksburg, Mississippi. After the Mississippi River flood disaster in 1927, the United States Army Corps of Engineers created a water experiment station in 1929. For the experimental river flood control plan, a small hydraulic research laboratory was established. Soon after, a soil mechanics laboratory was added due to the need for basic work and the design of the berm. Several years later, a larger laboratory was added due to the needs of the engineering corps and the country. To date, it has grown into an area of 683 acres, with the most modern equipment, the world’s leading institutions. About 30,000 people visit the experimental station each year, of which about 500 are foreign visitors. The cost of a waterway laboratory station for work development plans amounts to about 100 million U.S. dollars each year.
