Description:Excerpt from Journal of the Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania, Vol. 35 of 65: Mechanical and Physical Science, Civil Engineering, the Arts and Manufactures, and the Recording of American and Other Patent Inventions; January 1858 The writer, however, has taken no step in this grave investigation, without due authority to rest upon, and will now produce unquestion able evidence to dispel these erroneous assumptions; admitting at the same time, that these are to a great extent questions of fact, which suit able surveys alone can settle beyond dispute. Up to about the year 1840, when the rapid advance of railroads brought to a stand the construction of canals, the engineers of this and other countries were in the habit of assuming only from %d to ths of the annual rain-fall on any given site, as the quantity available in reservoirs, and beyond this point Mr. Roberts does not appear even yet to have advanced, for in the face of a vast amount of evidence to the contrary, he assumes, that it is not safe in this latitude to count on saving or utilizing more than per cent. Of the annual downfall of rain and snow! But all modern experience indicates a much higher ratio of available rain-fall annually collectable in reservoirs.
