Publisher's Synopsis
"A Water-Power Reconnaissance in South-Central Alaska," originally published in 1915, offers a detailed survey of the region's water resources and their potential for power generation. Authored by C.E. Ellsworth, this historical document provides valuable insights into the early 20th-century efforts to harness Alaska's abundant water sources for industrial and community development.
The book meticulously explores various rivers, lakes, and watersheds, assessing their suitability for hydroelectric power. Ellsworth's reconnaissance includes detailed measurements, observations, and analyses of water flow, geological formations, and topographical features. This work is invaluable for historians, environmental scientists, and engineers interested in the historical development of water-power technology and the early surveys conducted in Alaska.
