Bouillane est un militaire et explorateur français Officier de la Légion d'honneur (commandant). Émile Antoine Henry de Bouillane est issu de la plus ancienne noblesse du Dauphiné, en France. Fils de Henri Louis de Bouillane de Lacoste (1821-1888) et d'Emilie Morin, il est né le 14 janvier 1867 à Montélimar (Drôme, France). Il obtient son baccalauréat en sciences en 1885. Par la suite, il part pour Lyon où il s'engage volontairement dans l'armée pour une durée de cinq ans. Il entre à l'École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr, dont il sort sous-lieutenant en 1887. Il sert ensuite durant sept ans dans le 22e bataillon alpin de chasseurs à pied (22e BACP) stationné à Albertville en Savoie. Il devint rapidement Chef de Bataillon au 130e régiment d'infanterie. Il fait alors des rapports appréciés sur ses missions : on le signale aussi comme étant un très bon alpiniste et un excellent dessinateur. Il poursuit sa formation entre 1890 et 1893 à l'école de gymnastique de Joinville-le-Pont (Val-de-Marne, France), et en Suède où il étudie les sports d'hiver et la gymnastique. En 1891, il entreprend un voyage à Jérusalem, puis il sert en 1894 en Algérie dans le 2e régiment étranger d'infanterie durant une période de sept mois. Entre 1895 et 1897, il sert dans la Légion étrangère en Indochine (Tonkin et Annam) comme officier du renseignement et est chargé en 1899-1900 avec Hippolyte Enselme d'une mission d'exploration de la Mandchourie. Promu Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur le 17 septembre 1901, il est chargé d'une étude sur la prolongation du Transsibérien à travers la Mandchourie. Il parcourt ensuite pendant plusieurs années la Perse, le Béloutchistan, l'Himalaya, l'Afghanistan, le Pamir, et finalement la Mongolie où il visite et fait des relevés de nombreux sites archéologiques. Il est fait Officier de la Légion d'honneur le 7 juin 1912. Il est décédé en 1937 à Montélimar (Drôme, France). Il demeurera célibataire sans enfants.

1991Very Good Russian Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Russian. 79, [2] p., b/w plates. Karakumskii kanal i ego djizn'. [= The Karakum Canal and its story]. The Karakum Canal in Turkmenistan is one of the largest irrigation and water supply canals in the world. Started in 1954, and completed in 1988, it is navigable over much of its 1,375-kilometre (854 mi) length, and carries 13 cubic kilometres (3.1 cu mi) of water annually from the Amu-Darya River across the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan. The canal opened up huge new tracts of land to agriculture, especially to cotton monoculture heavily promoted by the Soviet Union, and supplying Ashgabat with a major source of water. Unfortunately, the primitive construction of the canal allows almost 50 percent of the water to escape en route, creating lakes and ponds along the canal, and a rise in groundwater leading to widespread soil salinization problems. The canal is also a major factor leading to the Aral Sea environmental disaster. The current Karakum Canal was not the first major attempt to bring the Amu-Darya water to the Karakums. In the early 1950s, construction began on the Main Turkmen Canal which would start at a much more northerly location (near Nukus), and run southwest toward Krasnovodsk. The canal would have used around 25 percent of the Amu-Darya's water. The works were abandoned after the death of Joseph Stalin, the current Karakum Canal route being chosen instead. Reservoirs such as Hanhowuz Reservoir were created to help regulate it.
