In 1885 Prof. Dwight Porter, in his report for the Tenth Census of the United States, Volume XVI, upon the water powers of the eastern Gulf slope, gave an excellent description of the most important water-power streams in the Mobile drainage basin, with such estimates of power as were po sible from a reconnaissance and a study of rainfall, drainage areas, and the navigation surveys made by the United States Engineer Corps.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Dam and Water Power Development at Austin, Texas: November, 1917 I have also investigated the physical conditions surrounding this installation, and in accordance with instructions I submit herewith my report. In order to present this matter fully, I have found it essential to describe some what briefly the history of the Austin dam and the conditions leading up to its de struction in 1900. I have also endeavored to explain the conditions and the engi neering principles on which the successful consummation of this project must rest, in as simple and plain a manner as possible, in order that the citizens of Austin may understand the defects found and the betterments needed to put the installation into safe condition. I have also endeavored to give the technical information on which my opinions rest, in sufficient detail that my findings may, if you desire, be reviewed and checked by other engineers without the further expense of elaborate investigations and calculations.

Book Synopsis Water Powers of the Cascade Range by : John C. Stevens
Download or read book Water Powers of the Cascade Range written by John C. Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Powers of the Cascade Range: Part I Southern Washington Perhaps no area in the United States presents more favorable opportunities for water-power development than that traversed by the Cascade Range. The general elevation of the summit of the range is from 6,000 to 8,000 feet, and many of its peaks extend into the region of eternal snow. Among these peaks are Mount Baker(10,827 feet). Mount Rainier(14,363 feet), Mount St. Helens(9,750 feet), Mount Adams(12,307 feet). Mount Hood(11,225 feet). Mount Jefferson(10,300 feet). Mount McLaughlin or Pitt(9,760 feet), and Mount Shasta(14,380 feet). The streams draining this range have steep slopes and are fed during the low-water period by the many snow banks and glaciers that mantle the high peaks or by the liberal supplies of ground water. The precipitation on the area is abundant, although its distribution is by no means uniform. The streams possess the requisite properties of water-power development - rapid fall, abundant water, and comparative uniformity of flow; and the almost unlimited resources of timber, mines, and soil, as yet hardly touched, afford a promising market for these water powers and fixes for them a high potential value. The primary source of rainfall in the Pacific States is evaporation from the Pacific Ocean, the water vapor being carried over the land by prevailing westerly winds. Whenever the moisture-laden air is cooled below the point of saturation, rain falls, and no precipitation can occur unless the air is thus cooled. The temperatures over the ocean are not nearly so variable as those over the land. In summer the land is relatively much warmer than the ocean, while in winter the reverse is true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Powers of the Cascade Range: Part 1. Southern Washington All distances were determined by stadia and all elevations by vertical angles. Initial elevations were taken from railroad bench marks and reduced to United States Geological Survey datum by known equations. The upper portion of Klickitat River is included in the Mount Adams quadrangle, and elevations were adjusted to agree with a line of United States Geological Survey bench marks following the upper course of the stream'. The datum of the survey was taken from the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railway crossing of Klickitat River near Lyle.

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.

Book Synopsis Looking Squarely at the Water Power Problem (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Joshua Pierce
Download or read book Looking Squarely at the Water Power Problem (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Joshua Pierce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Looking Squarely at the Water Power Problem This is a personal appeal for water power legislation. The author confesses that he has an old-fashioned ambition to do a constructive thing - to assist in the creation of an industrial opportunity in a neglected place and to make homes on land now silent. He also cherishes a hope of reasonable and wholesome reward. These are two honorable incentives which have, from the beginning of things, animated individual effort. Some people re gard such motives distrustfully but it cannot be believed that such sentiments which, if manifested in an earlier day, would have impeded or stifled our greatest commercial achievements, will long survive in the present day. Therefore, the author will state his case in all frankness and be confident that those who cannot accept his conclusions will have no reason to misconstrue his purpose.
