Abstract :
Although the Sierra Nevada Mountains have formed an historic barrier to travel, they are of great benefit to water and power developments in California. Three hydroelectric plants on the North Fork of the Kings River, scheduled for completion in 1959–61, add 276,000-kw to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company system.
