Water Power Challenges and Future Prospects in America
An engineer in the New York Sun analyzes the difficulties in turning water power into practical energy. He notes high initial costs for hydro installations, limited usable water due to seasonal flow, and the need for storage or auxiliary plants. In California irrigation-linked projects, water and power needs compete for reserves. Despite hurdles, water power development has progressed and may grow as other energies rise in cost.
