The author delves into the scientific principles behind the flow of rivers and streams, examining the factors that influence their power potential. He discusses the crucial role of dams in harnessing this power, analyzing their design, construction, and the challenges they face from forces of nature. The book also investigates the history of water power, reminding us that in the past, when forests were abundant, the idea of fuel scarcity seemed as improbable as the depletion of coal seems today. The author reveals how the development of electricity has breathed new life into the use of water power, enabling its application in industries far from the source. Through detailed explanations and calculations, the author offers a comprehensive guide to the complexities of water power, revealing its enduring significance as a source of energy that will continue to sustain mankind long after coal has become exhausted.
