The Croton aqueduct department of New York, ,
in their annual report just published, urge the i'm
mediate construction of the proposed .rand reser-
voir," which they say cannot be postponed or eva

past, the whole flow of the Croton river has be n
turned through the aqueduct, the daily delivery in
the city for large portion of these two years hav
ing been about 90 000,oO gallons, draw from the
reservoirs on the island; whereas the flow of the
Csoton, during some severe droughts of summer,
does not much exceed 10000 900 gallons daily
II ia stated that if no systematic effort be made
to circumscribe the use of water, eight years. in
consequence of the increase of the population will
bring Them to the daily consumption of all the ca
pacity of the aqueduct can bring, and more than
t,cice mach as the minimum flow Of the river can
furnish. TO guard against such contingency, it
ls proposed to convert the numerous lakes forming
the sources of the Crot Covering, in the aggre-
gate, nearly 1000 acres) into reservoirs of water
which would be capable of containing the supply
for more than half year, and be much more than
equal to the supposed emergency, It is believed
that such works might be constructed as to store
water equal to daily supply of 100000 900 gal.
