Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Works of Canada The object of the present report is to present in a form readily available for reference, the principal physical data respecting the water-works systems now in existence in the Dominion of Canada. Pains have been taken to make the information herein tabulated as accurate as possible. The method employed in collecting it may be described briefly. The first step was to send out the following circular letter to all cities, towns and villages in the Dominion: "The Commission of Conservation is collecting information respecting water supply in Canada and is desirous of enlisting your aid in the work. Will you kindly send a description of the water supply of your town or city, including therein full information along the lines suggested by the questions below? Your thorough familiarity with your plant will doubtless enable you to furnish us with many interesting details that cannot be covered by a set of arbitrary questions such as is here appended. (1) Name of city or town (2) Population (3) Is plant privately or municipally owned? If the former, kindly state name of company (4) Source of supply - whether taken from lake, river or springs Give distance of source of supply from centre of distribution (5) Method of supply - whether by gravity or direct pressure If pumping is used, state (a) Maximum and average h.p. used (b) Kind of power (steam, electric, etc.) (c) If pumped to reservoir, stand-pipe, tank or directly into mains (6) Cost of supply plant (7) Cost of distribution system (8) Name and official capacity of officer in charge About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Works and Sewerage Systems of Canada HE problems incident upon the obtaining of adequate water supplies for both urban and rural centres in Canada are yearl'y becoming more acute. This is due, no doubt, to the rapid growth of large centres of popu lation, coupled with the ever increasing difficulty of keeping the sources of supply free from pollution. In View of the interest that is perforce being taken in such problems, the Commission of Conservation in 1912 published a report on the water-works of Canada. The report aimed at presenting, in a form readily available for reference, the principal physical data respect ing the water-works systems then in existence in Canada. The demand for the report soon made it evident that a further edition would be required, and, rather than reprint the report as first published, it was decided to revise it and to add such further information as could be obtained. It was also decided to obtain physical data with respect to sewerage systems in Canada, and to publish these as Part II of the revised report. Accordingly, an effort was first of all made to ascertain what water works systems had been constructed since the publication of the first report. The following card was sent, therefore, to all towns and Villages which had previously reported having no water-works.

Keefer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian Water Power and Its Electrical Product in Relation to Underdeveloped Resources of the Dominion With the exception of her prairie region, the rivers of Canada differ from the Mississippi, Missouri and Ohio, and the larger part of their tribu taries, in that they are not naturally navigable from their mouths, or above tidal influence to any considerable extent, except in detached sections;' while the former are navigable for thousands of miles and are therefore without water power. Those great western rivers flow upon a. Nearly uniform grade of a few inches per mile, whilst the St. Lawrence and its tributaries are interrupted by rapids, chutes and cataracts, affording a great variety, quantity and quality of water power. In the United States, between the Atlantic coast and the Rocky Mountains, as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, and as far north as the Dakotas, (with the exception of part of New York and New England) there is an entire absence of lakes; while throughout Canada, north of the St. Lawrence and stretching northwest toward the Mackenzie River Basin, these are innumerable, in fact have never been numbered, and thousands of the smaller ones have never been represented on any map.

Download or read book Water Powers of Canada written by Frederick Thomas Kaelin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Powers of Canada: The Province of Quebec These resources are, falling water, the coal mine and the oil field. Of these resources, falling water or water powers, stand out as being inexhaustible, and therefore one of the most valuable assets of any country. A time must come when the supply of coal and oil will become limited, and the best way to conserve these fuel supplies is to make use of our water powers in their stead. Any country which possesses such large water powers as Canada, and especially the Province of Quebec, is destined to play a very important role among industrial nations, always deriving wealth and prosperity from such resources if developed with energy and foresight. The opening up of our large resources, such as mines and forests, largely depends upon the cheap and bountiful supply of power, made possible by the development of our enormous quantities of falling waters.

Download or read book Water Works and Pipe Distribution Classic Reprint written by Francis C. Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Works and Pipe Distribution The force of gravity acting with an ample reservoir differs from pump pressure for forcing water through pipes, in the important respect that it is always ready for instant use without notification by means of electric wires, tele phones, etc., and is not liable to break down or get out of order like pumps or other direct pressure appliances. It, moreover, exerts, at all times, a steady pressure on the pipe system, reducing the liability of breakage to a mini mum. A gravity system has a decided advantage over a direct pressure pumping system in that (if pipes are of proper size) the full volume of flow is instantly available without waiting to fire up extra steam boilers.
