  one 
  mile 
  north 
  of 
  Prattsville; 
  one 
  mile 
  north 
  of 
  Lexington, 
  and 
  

   at 
  Kaaterskill 
  Junction. 
  On 
  the 
  Batavia 
  kill, 
  they 
  are 
  located 
  

   at 
  the 
  following 
  : 
  Just 
  north 
  of 
  Ashland 
  and 
  Windham 
  and 
  south 
  

   of 
  Big 
  Hollow; 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  East 
  kill, 
  below 
  East 
  Jewett. 
  These 
  

   reservoirs 
  would 
  afford 
  about 
  40,000,000,000 
  gallons 
  (5,400,000,000 
  

   cubic 
  feet) 
  of 
  available 
  storage, 
  and 
  would 
  yield 
  in 
  minimum 
  

   years, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  writer's 
  estimate, 
  about 
  500,000 
  gallons 
  

   of 
  water 
  per 
  square 
  mile 
  per 
  day. 
  The 
  dam 
  at 
  Gilboa 
  would 
  be 
  of 
  

   masonry 
  — 
  the 
  others 
  of 
  earth, 
  with 
  spillways 
  cut 
  in 
  the 
  rock 
  

   sides 
  of 
  the 
  valley. 
  

  

  Waterpowers 
  on 
  Schoharie 
  creek 
  above 
  Prattsville 
  are 
  unim- 
  

   portant, 
  consisting 
  of 
  but 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  small 
  sawmills. 
  There 
  

   are 
  several 
  powers 
  at 
  and 
  below 
  Gilboa, 
  but 
  none 
  of 
  them 
  is 
  very 
  

   important, 
  although 
  the 
  abstraction 
  of 
  the 
  water 
  from 
  Scho- 
  

   harie 
  creek 
  would 
  affect 
  all 
  the 
  powers 
  on 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river 
  below 
  

   the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  Schoharie. 
  

  

  Basing 
  a 
  calculation 
  on 
  the 
  power 
  developed 
  at 
  Cohoes 
  in 
  rela- 
  

   tion 
  to 
  the 
  low-water 
  flow 
  of 
  the 
  stream, 
  the 
  effect 
  of 
  the 
  abstrac- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  proposed 
  amount 
  of 
  Schoharie 
  creek 
  water 
  would 
  be 
  

   about 
  1800 
  horsepower.

  of 
  storage 
  reservoirs
