DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Second Report on the Water Powers of Alabama The U. S. Geological Survey began measurements on the rivers of the Southern States in 1895 and it has been carried on continuously ever since; the District. Engineers in charge of the work being as follows: B. M. Hall, 1895 to 1902. Maxcy R. Hall, 1902 to 1912. Warren E. Hall, 1912 to the present. The Alabama Geological Survey has co-operated in this work by paying for the services of local observers who read and recorded the daily gage heights at the river stations, and by rendering such other assistance as has been called for by the engineers of the U. S. Geological Survey. As will be noted in the text of this publication, the most prominent items brought out are: first, the quantity of water owing in the streams, as shown by the daily, monthly and yearly records given in cubic feet per second; and secondly, the fall of the streams as shown under the head of River Profiles. These are the necessary items for estimating the amount of water power available. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
