Abstract :
The paper first gives a brief outline of the general conditions required and the means adopted for making the fullest possible use of the power available. Then follows a general survey of the actual conditions existing in the various parts of the Empire. The benefits derived from the use of hydro-electric resources are pointed out, and finally the way in which the productive efficiency and the general standard of living of the community may be raised is indicated. Maps have not been included in the paper, as the reproductions would have to be on too small a scale to be of much value. Readers are therefore advised to follow the paper with any good, large-scale atlas which may be available.
