미국남부는 자주 카리브해안에서 태풍이 미시시피강 입구쪽으로오므로 ,최근에도 태풍 카트리나로인해서 피해가 매우 많았으므로 미국의 루시애나주의 반톤루지및 알렉산드리아의 도시들의 피해를 줄이기위해서는 베이레이 땜등이 필요함.
미국남부의 베이레이 땜.The Book of Bailey's Dam, by Steven D. Smith and George J. Castille III
미국남부의 루시애나주의 미시시피강 입구의 레드리버에 남북전쟁당시에 나무목재 땜으로 시작해서 세워진 것.
Bailey's Dam was a timber dam on the Red River in Alexandria, Louisiana. The dam was built in 1864 at Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Bailey's request to afford passage over the Alexandria rapids for part of Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter's Mississippi River Squadron during the Red River Campaign in the Civil War. The dam successfully raised the level of the river and was then breached in order to allow the boats in its reservoir to pass downstream.
