Oriskany feeder.

On the Che- nango river catchment there are a number of reservoirs, a list of which has been given on page 417. Mohawk feeder. A short distance east of the Black River canal a portion of the Mohawk river is diverted by the Mohawk feeder into the Erie canal. The catchment area of the river above the point of diversion is 156 square miles. It is thus without water storage. The minimum flow of the Mohawk river at Ridge Mills, as shown on a preceding page, is rather large, although it should not be overlooked that it receives the waste and leakage of twenty-five miles of the Black River canal. For the present it may be taken at cubic foot per second per square mile. te5xJ7y*x6'Dfr- «. CAPAC/TY £LS Of h//J£AT 450TOHS \ / Fig. 53 Boat suggested by Canal Committee for Erie canal improvement. Black river canal feeder. The Erie canal is supplied with 183 cubic feet per second of water from the Black river canal, which unites therewith at Rome. The summit level of the Black river canal is supplied from Black river at Forestport by means of a navigable feeder about miles in length. The distance from Boonville to Rome is about twenty-five miles. The pond at the head of the Forestport feeder is formed by a diversion dam across Black river, a short distance below Wood- hull creek. The catchment area at the diversion dam is 267 square miles. The Forestport reservoir is on Black river about miles above the diversion dam. This reservoir has an area of.
