This report is a compendium of data relating to the water-power resources of British Columbia. The opening chapters comprise

a statement of the guiding principles which should govern in the conservation and utilization of inland waters, and a description of certain important features which should characterise reliable water-power data. There follows a comprehensive historical survey of water legislation in the province, together with discussions of subjects cognate thereto. In the portion of the report which relates more particularly to physical data, will be found tabular lists of the estimated possibilities of water-power sites throughout the province, which lists are based chiefly upon results obtained from the special field investigations conducted by the Commission of conservation. There then follow digests of stream-flow, meteorological and other hydrometric records. Report on water powers of British Columbia. il tables Can Eng 37:461-5 N 13 '19
