Book Description
Excerpt from Water-Powers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta Sir: - I have the honour to transmit herewith a report on the "Water-Powers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta." In the report on "Water-Powers of Canada," published in 1911, it was announced that, owing to the paucity of published or available information respecting Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, it would be necessary to institute a reconnaissance survey of the water-powers of these provinces. This volume contains the result of reconnaissance surveys of the water-powers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, together with portions of the Yukon and Northwest Territories, by Leo G. Denis, B. Sc., E. E., of the Commission of Conservation. We are indebted to Mr. J. B. Challies, C. E., M. Can. Soc. C. E., Superintendent of the Dominion Water Power Branch, Department of the Interior, for the reports on the water-powers of Southern Manitoba and Alberta also regarding the Bow river basin above Calgary.
