Investigation shows that several lakes can be economically converted into reser-voirs by dams at the outlets. The flood water, then, instead of rushing to waste,would be pent up on these reservoirs and gradually let out later in the season. These reservoirs will exert a threefold effect upon the discharge of the drainagebasin as follows:— 1. Lnprove the potability of the water. 2. Increase the depth for navigation, and 3. Steady the flow for power No. 3.—Mouth of Wabi Cri-ck at Liski-ard, sliou iiig liigh water siirfaje uf Lake Tcmiscaiiiiiig during May, 19011.
