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, etc. the follow- 

 ing gaging stations were established :

Of the foregoing stations, those on Hudson river at Mechanic- 

 ville, Hudson river at Fort Edward, and Schroon river at War- 

 rensburg had been established, in 1895, in connection with the 

 Upper Hudson storage surveys. The station on Black river at 

 Huntingtonville had been established in March,- 1897, by the 

 Watertown Waterworks, the data of which were furnished by the 

 Board of Water Commissioners of the city of Watertown. Aside 

 from these four stations, the foregoing were established in 1898 

 in connection with the deep waterways work.
