Shall Niagara Be Dammed by Eminent Engineer Plan
In The Technical World Alton D Adams outlines a dam across Niagara River between Lewiston and Queenston with a six mile long reservoir behind it. Water from the dam would provide a nearly constant head and power plants connected by short pipes. With an annual discharge of 13 222,000 cubic feet per second and a 100 foot head, the proposal claims about 1.5 million horsepower could be generated continuously, exceeding current and planned Niagara hydroelectric capacities.
