Harnessing Niagara
0*011 untold age* "Wild waters leap-
" lor down a mountain aide*’ produced
the indescribably-beautiful spectacle
now known as Niagara falls, but the
tremendous energy (estimated to be
6,000,000 horse power) which wns in-
herent in the tumbling of the Niagara
river over this 164-feet-high precipice
flowed away unused—wasted.
In an attempt to create power from
this water n canal which diverted some
water from above the fall to a point
at the top of the gorge below the
fall was dug in 1852. This water
dropping upon water wheels turned
machinery which ground flour.
The coming of electricity as power
and the Increased use of power spurred
the imagination and ingenuity of mas
ter men toward Improvement and ex-
pansion. Today, all waters which the
federal water-power commission will
permit to be diverted are used in a
world-famous power-development plant
which produces almost half-a-milllon
horse power.
Water now diverted pours into a
concrete-lined tunnel 82-feet in diame-
ter and 4.800-feet long, cut through
solid rock, rotates turbine generators
and returns to the river. The electri-
city thus produced is sent by means
of some 1,300 milee of transmission
lines to users of light and power in
142 communities scattered through
seventeen countlee In New York state.
The majority of homes In the nation
probably reap an Indirect benefit
through the purchase and use of ma-
tertals or commodities which art made
available by this outstanding .power
project, while the development of thia
powsr by water creates an estimated
conservation of 32fl.000.000 worth of
coal annually.
