Book excerpt: Excerpt 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conservation of Water by Storage: Addresses Delivered in the Chester S. Lyman Lecture, Series, 1914, Before the Senior Class of the Sheffield Scientific School, Yale Univesity The Sixth chapter deals with the technical aspects of water power development, and in this chapter there is necessarily some repetition Of material contained in former volumes of the series. Storage of water is not necessarily in open reservoirs. Storage in the ground is almost equally important, and perhaps more so. The seventh chapter, therefore, deals with the much mooted question of the relation Of forests to stream ow. In this chapter the endeavor has been not SO much to give a minute technical discussion Of the question as to treat of the general principles involved and the general methods of investigation which are appropriate in this case, regarding which the writer believes there is much misapprehension even among scientific men and engineers.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on the Conservation of Natural Resources Until a few years ago, the impression was prevalent that water, forests and the ores in the earth were abundantly plentiful and thus could be lavishly used., When the necessity of conservation 1 was made evident, far-sighted men started a campaign of public education and the subject became suddenly prominent in the magazines. But like all schemes started in theory and later applied in practice, this one developed an unexpected phase, in this case the conditions in the newer western states determining its form. Out of this situation grew two plans of conservation, one under Federal control and the other under State control. The issues are so well defined that the subject is an appropriate one for debate and in order to supply the needs of debaters, as well as general students, this volume has been prepared for the Debaters' Handbook Series. In conformity with the series the book contains a brief based on the best arguments available, a bibliography, and articles reprinted entirely or in part and grouped into general, affirmative and negative sections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Water Seekers Until the rise of modern cities these Roman aqueducts were unrivaled. In the early 16005 the spreading metropolis of London turned afield for more water, building a twenty-mile conduit from two great springs in Hertfordshire. The United States saw its first big water quest when the rising city of New York, bursting with a population of launched its forty-mile aqueduct to the Croton watershed in 1832. On its completion ten years later, most New Yorkers agreed with the earlier prophecy of De Witt Clinton: It is not at all probable that the city will ever require more than it can provide. But New York proceeded to ignore his words and perplex her water engineers with an astonishing growth. Her population had passed when drought struck in 1880. The city was separated from thirst by a ten-day water supply in the reservoirs when timely rains forestalled disaster. Having experienced water famine, New York lost little time in reaching out for a new supply. A second aqueduct, tapping the full limit of the Croton watershed, was finished barely in time to save the city from an other desperate drought in 1891. The Big Town's resolute expansion sent water engineers farther afield by the early 19005. A hundred miles north of New York lay an enormous new source in the wooded and sparsely settled Catskill Mountains; in the ten years from 1907 to 1917 the city built a third great aqueduct over the route, more than doubling its Croton supply. While construction was in progress another drought visited New York in 1 91 1, forcing house-to-house checkups on leaky faucets. Only by careful water conservation did its citizens hold off water famine until the completion of their Catskill Aqueduct, which served a population of more than Outpacing all other American cities in size, New York was also pointing the way in the business of seeking water.

Download or read book Water Powers of Canada Classic Reprint written by Leo G. Denis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt 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.
