The potential water-power is estimated atabout 200,000,000 horsepower of which about 20,000,000 is capableof immediate development. Fifty million of the above mentionedtotal potential water-power could be used without special provisionsfor storage. About 10 per cent of the ready available water-power,and 3 per cent of the total open to development under elaborate ar-rangements for water sotrage has been developed. It is estimated that the water-power readily available in theUnited States if converted into electric energy is more than capableof turning every industrial wheel and illuminating every street andbuilding throughout the Fig. 133.—An Example of a Thermal Power Plant A typical European central station with adjoining workingmens barracks onthe right, offices on the left and fuel yard in the foreground.
