  • Abstract
    Because neither norway nor sweden is very generously endowed with coal or oil resources, the power economy of both countries is founded almost entirely on the utilization of water power which, fortunately, is plentiful. This article on the development of hydroelectric power in Scandinavia is based on observations made by the author, a Canadian engineer, during a visit in the summer and fall of 1947.
