  neers 
  on 
  Deep 
  Waterways 
  as 
  to 
  possibilities 
  of 
  water 
  supply 
  for 
  

   enlarged 
  canals 
  through 
  the 
  State 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  The 
  scope 
  of 
  this 
  

   investigation 
  was 
  exceedingly 
  broad. 
  It 
  showed 
  that 
  a 
  water 
  

   supply 
  of 
  from 
  1200 
  to 
  1600 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  second 
  would 
  be 
  re- 
  

   quired 
  for 
  the 
  proposed 
  canal. 
  This 
  water, 
  it 
  was 
  also 
  found, 
  

   must 
  be 
  drawn 
  from 
  some 
  stream 
  whose 
  headwaters 
  lay 
  in 
  the 
  

   Adirondack 
  plateau, 
  which, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  precise 
  information 
  in 
  re- 
  

   gard 
  to 
  its 
  water 
  resources 
  was 
  concerned, 
  was 
  practically 
  an 
  

   unknown 
  land. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  gain 
  information 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  water 
  

   yielding 
  possibilities 
  of 
  the 
  region, 
  its 
  flood 
  flows,
