Irish water power scheme aims to tap Shannon and Erne
The Irish Industrial Journal describes a large scale water power project in Ireland totaling about £1,500,000. It would combine two powerhouses drawing from the Shannon and Erne, using storage reservoirs at Loughsberg Rea and Allenes and distributing via transmission lines to Dublin Cork Waterford Kilkenny and other centers. The Shannon drainage covers around 6,000 square miles with 1,320,000 cubic feet per minute at 40 feet head yielding roughly 60,000 horsepower year round, while the Erne catchment offers a 60 feet head with less dam work but dredging and a conduit would be needed.
