  To 
  the 
  west 
  of 
  Little 
  Falls 
  lies 
  19.2 
  miles 
  of 
  the 
  eastern 
  division, 
  

   supplied 
  from 
  the 
  reservoirs 
  and 
  streams 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  division. 
  

   East 
  of 
  Little 
  Falls 
  the 
  supply 
  is 
  from 
  Mohawk' 
  river, 
  through 
  

   Little 
  Falls, 
  Rocky 
  rift, 
  and 
  Eexford 
  Flats 
  feeders, 
  and 
  from 
  

   Schoharie 
  creek 
  through 
  Schoharie 
  creek 
  feeder. 
  As 
  to 
  the 
  quan- 
  

   tity 
  of 
  water 
  used 
  on 
  that 
  portion 
  of 
  Erie 
  canal 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  

   eastern 
  division 
  very 
  little 
  is 
  known. 
  With 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  a 
  few 
  

   thousand 
  cubic 
  feet 
  per 
  minute 
  received 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  division, 
  

   the 
  supply 
  is, 
  as 
  just 
  indicated, 
  all 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river 
  

   and 
  its 
  tributary, 
  Schoharie 
  creek. 
  Thus 
  far 
  no 
  measurements 
  of 
  

   the 
  actual 
  quantity 
  used 
  have 
  been 
  made. 
  Probably 
  the 
  total 
  

   diversion 
  amounts 
  in 
  dry 
  weather 
  to 
  from 
  400 
  to 
  500 
  cubic 
  feet 
  

   per 
  second. 
  Some 
  of 
  this 
  is 
  returned 
  to 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river 
  by 
  leak- 
  

   age 
  and 
  wastage, 
  but 
  just 
  what 
  proportion 
  is 
  returned, 
  and 
  what 
  

   finally 
  delivered 
  either 
  into 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river 
  at 
  Albany 
  or 
  by 
  the 
  

   Troy 
  and 
  Fort 
  Schuyler 
  side 
  cuts, 
  is 
  not 
  known. 
  In 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  

   magnitude 
  of 
  the 
  power 
  development 
  on 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river 
  at 
  

   Cohoes 
  it 
  appears 
  very 
  desirable 
  that 
  such 
  a 
  determination 
  be 
  

   made. 
  

  

  The 
  water 
  supply 
  of 
  the 
  Champlain 
  canal 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  Wood 
  

   creek 
  and 
  several 
  small 
  streams 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  Fort 
  Edward, 
  

   Glens 
  Falls 
  feeder, 
  Hudson 
  river 
  feeder, 
  from 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river 
  

   itself 
  at 
  Saratoga 
  dam, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river 
  at 
  the 
  Cohoes 
  

   dam. 
  

  

  As 
  already 
  stated, 
  the 
  Champlain 
  canal 
  is 
  fed 
  from 
  the 
  Hudson 
  

   river 
  by 
  the 
  Glens 
  Falls 
  feeder, 
  which 
  connects 
  with 
  the 
  river 
  

   about 
  2 
  miles 
  above 
  Glens 
  Falls 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  Saratoga 
  dam 
  at 
  

   Northumberland.
