January 2, 1904. ELECTRICAL WORLD and ENGINEER. Water Power Electrical Generating Plant at Riva,Tyrol. Bv Framz Koster. RIVA, a city on Garda Lake, in the Tyrol, and much frequentedby tourists, possesses a water power electrical generating plantof unusual interest in view of the fact that the total populationserved, including that of Varone and St. Giacomo, neighboring towns,is less than 8,000. When it was decided to put down a plant severalwater powers presented themselves for consideration. The city iswithin easy distance of the Albole, a small stream with a fall of650 ft., and the Varone, with a fall of 327 ft. As these, however, werealready largely occupied for commercial and supply purposes, it wasdetermined to use the Ponale, which, though having a fall of only200 ft, is larger and more available and from which may be utilizeda water power of 2,000 hp.
