DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Water Power for the Farm and Country Home In the course of its general investigations of the water powers of the State, the Water Supply Commission has here tofore confined its attention to the possibilities for large develop ments, and the regulation of the How of rivers and large creeks. No previous or general investigation of small creeks and brooks and their power possibilities has been made, not because they were considered unimportant, but because the Commission believes that if the State decides to take an active part in the regulation of the flow of streams and the development and conservation of water powers, it should confine its first activities to the larger units, leaving the smaller opportunities for later examination and for private and individual development. However, no comprehensive system of conservation can meet with universal favor unless it contemplates the prevention of waste, great or small, and wherever found.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Water-Powers of Canada Importance of There has been a tendency on the part of many persons water-powers interested in the conservation Of natural resources to state May be that this or that particular resource is the most important. Exaggerated Some have said that the forests are the most important asset; others maintain that the soil, with its fertility, is the most important re source; and, of late, great stress is being laid upon the statement that water is the chief asset, the prediction being made that the nation which has the most and cheapest water-power available is destined to take precedence in the world of commerce. AS a matter Of fact, however, all these various interests are interdependent one upon the other. If any one feature Of our natural resources is to be placed before others, probably it could be most reasonably urged that a fertile condition Of the soil is the most im portant natural asset to be safeguarded; because, for his sustenance on the earth, man requires food, raiment, and Shelter, and these essentials are supplied him, in one form or another, either directly or indirectly, from the soil. It must be manifest, therefore, that the factors which make for the permanence of the soil's productivity are factors Of paramount importance; and hence the subject Of the conservation and use Of waters as a natural asset must, among other things, be considered in its prime relationship to the subject Of the productivity Of the soil. It may assist to a better understanding of some Of the statements made herein if the fact is borne in mind that the greatest danger which besets the natural resources Of not only this country, but of the world, is the undue disturbance Of the balance which Nature seeks to maintain. Hence, in presenting the data which follow, no special effort has been made to attach an importance to water-power, per se, to which it is not entitled.

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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Public Utility of Water Powers and Their Governmental Regulation Notwithstanding the above statements, there is a real menace in the present situation, which holds many problems that are difficult of solution. Certain consolidations of water-power interests have taken place during the last few years, and these, with the appearance of the names of a few persons among the officers or in the directorate of a large number of companies operating water-power plants, mak ing new installations, or manufacturing or marketing water power or electric machinery, point unmistakably to a concentration of owner ship and administration in several groups which, in the usual course of events, might consolidate or at least effect a community of agree ment. The menace in the prospect lies not so much in this probability as in the ability of such a combination to manipulate unrighteously the public interest. The menace is therefore speculative, but this fact does not obviate the necessity for legislation. The nation and the State are accustomed to legislate against speculative crimes and abuses, because experience shows that in the present state of society mankind is yet frail. What, then, should be the legislation necessary to meet the present conditions? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Instructions Relating to the Gathering of Certain Preliminary Information Respecting Water-Powers While conducting investigation relating to the water-power resources of Canada, the author of this brief pamphlet has often felt the need of having for distribution, and in concise form, a brief statement which would serve to set forth, in simple terms, some of the fundamentals which should govern in the gathering of preliminary information respecting water-powers. Some of the Provincial Governments are making special investigations of their water-power resources. The Government of British Columbia, for example, has just organized (1912) a Water-Power Branch which will conduct hydrographic examinations of detailed and special character. The Commission of Conservation, Canada, have in hand the making of a preliminary investigation of inland waters. This investigation permits the use of reconnaissance methods, by means of which knowledge may quickly be had respecting the general character, magnitude, and locations of the water-powers of the country. The present pamphlet has been prepared - somewhat hurriedly - to meet pressing needs arising in connection with the water-power research being made by the Commission in the summer of 1912 in the Province of British Columbia. The pamphlet is intended to be only a brief suggestive guide to those who are interested in the collection of preliminary data relating to inland waters. If need so requires, the scope of the pamphlet, at some future time, could be extended. It is believed that if a little special study is given to the subject of inland waters by those entrusted with the administration, or engaged upon the survey of government lands, such study will evoke in many persons an interest in our water resources, and in turn this will prove to be a stimulus which will result in the observation and recording of much information respecting water-powers, the acquisition of which information might otherwise be delayed.
