WATER SUPPLY AND POWER.
Great Hydro-Electric Project Near
Torreon in Mexico.

Following the report of government
engineers who have been making sur
veys and estimates of projected dam
across the Nazas river near Torreon.
the federal government of Mexico has
agreed to give financial support TO the
proposition. and the contract for its
construction has been awarded Ac-
cording to the estimates of the engi-
neers the dam will cost about $4,000
900. and will form one of the largest
water storage reservoirs on the CONT
nent, affording water supply TO the
whole Nazas river cottongrowing dis
trict for a period of three years with
out replenishing.
In connection with this dam, it is
also planned to install hydro-electric
plant to supply all of the towns within
a radius of $50 miles. There are many
large Industrial plants in the Nazas
valley which will be provided with
cheap power from the proposed plant,
and 1t is expected that the establish
ment of manufacturing enterprises
will be greatly stimulated
The principal cotton-growing region
of Mexico lies in this valley, but ow-
ing to the uncertainty OF rains in the
mountains the river cannot be depend
ed upon to give an adequate water
supply for irrigation purposes when
most needed. BY storing the water
this difficulty will be overcome. The
site of the proposed dam is in the San
Fernandez canyon.
