Nova Scotia Water Powers and Development Potential
The Nova Scotia province lacks large rivers but possesses small watersheds with rapid streams and high heads suitable for hydro development. Some watersheds offer 275 feet total fall over two miles, and rivers like the Mersey and St Croix already generate power, though many areas remain undeveloped and storage is rarely used. There is little streamflow data, rainfall records are sparse and distant, limiting accurate calculations.
