The article focuses on harnessing of water powers in the U.S. With suitable storage facilities, the minimum available flow of 36,000,000 horsepower of water can be increased five or six tines. The hugeness of these figures is realized when people read the estimate of the Commissioner of Corporations that the total development of waterpower in U.S. for electrical and other industrial purposes is only about 6,000,000 horsepower. It was the harnessing, of Niagara that focused the thought of the nation upon what might be done in the way of utilizing waste power.
