District Engineer for tha 1'nited States and North Carolina Geological and Economic Surveys, who cites the advice given by Colo nel Joseph Hyde Pratt. Director of tha State Survey. A summary of tha situation in Western North Carolina and a sana solution of the water short aga problem. Is given by Major Hall as follows: "We have Just been passing through one of the greatest droughts which has visited West ern North Carolina since J04. Water powers and city supplies i.ava suffered extremely for sev eral week.. Many plants have shut dawn either becausa there I was not enough hydro-electric pow- pr to "run them or because there was not enough water to supply industrial demands. A modern big steam plant needs almost as much water for condensing purposes as a moderately sized water power plant. "The question Is: wtota the dry season give Our streams a black eye to water power Industries in this section ? It does not, fur two reasons: First, all other sections of the country are subject to dry sea sons as much: op even more tiisf i .Luggage Carriers, ,f ' To be fastened on the; running 2,.

"Practically all of our streams have large valleys toward their headwaters. This is especially true in Western North Carolina where streams first rise on lefty mountains and gather Into main streams in the, valleya. These val leys are frequently wide and rela tively flat because they are on tha plateaus which are set 2,300 feet or more above sea level. The streams must first trsvel tho Hat 1 valleys before beginning their preclpltlous drop to the se.i. "Tha big powers are located be low tha valleys. In many of tha valleys auch as the French Uroad above Ashevllle, and tha Htawaa see above Murphy, are so designed by Nature that relatively low dums across them at certain points would create great storage lakes by stopping and- holding all the surplus water for future uae. "It has been tha dream of Col onel Joseph Hvda I'ratt, Director of tha Bute Geological Survey, to create such a reservoir In tha great valley of tha French Broad. A reservoir on this river above Bre ard could have relieved the water power shortage In this section very easily. "Reservoirs on Ashevllle's fenced-in watersheds could have pre vented tha shortage of water which Ashevllle has Just suffered. Bear in mind tha fact that water which passes over the top of the dam la worthless. It is waste and Nature and intelligent man abhor waste. Tha water must pass through tha pipes before It can become available to a City popu lace for drinking and washing pur poses. "When tha flow) in a stream be comes greater than the pipes can carry, It goes over the dam and is wasted. Ashevllle is suppllod with hydro-electrlo power by two good plants on tha French Broad Klver. These plants have recently been unable to run full blast because of lack of water. Yet during the past year many times over the amount of water necessary to koep all the wheels running day and night has poured over the top of the dam and is gone wasted. This is so because there is- no chance to build sufficiently large storage reservoirs at th plant. The one and only solution is to build big reservoirs up in tha val ley. "From Ashevllle down to tha Tennessee line there Is 714 feet fall in the French Broad River. If all that fall were developed to day we could get only about 100, 000 horsepower. But if in addi tion 4 great reservoir could be built in the valley above Ashevllle to catcU and hold floods until call ed for. the power could probably be Increased to 800,000 horsepow er or perhaps mors. "If Ashevllle could bul stor age reservoirs on the water sheds which she now has feiicia in, it is likely that she will still havo a plentiful supply of water when the population increases to 100,000. "Storage and then mora storage is a lesson which United States and North Carolina Geologic! Surveys are preaching all tho time. Until the truth Is driven home and put into practice. Western North Carolina will not' have como Into her own. - . "As a matter of fact, tie time is coming when Tennessee iss golntf to have to beg Western North Car olina to build reservoirs so that the Tennessee River will have suf ficient water at all times to float har boats and furnish power.
