STORAGE PLANS.
BOWRINGTON CANAL TO BE
A RESERVOIR.
That no water storage possibili- tics shall be overlooked the Port Dovolopment Sub-Department are | trying out an experiment which If. successful will result in the forma- tion of a reservoir almost & quar- tor of a mile in length.
For this purpose a portion of the Bowrington Canal is to bó used. At the present time work in i proceeding on the construction of a dam at the Leighton Hill Road end, and on an outlet for the nullah water which will be divert- od. into the storm water drains nearby.
After this dam has been com- pleted the canal from that point; to the Praya, where it emerges into the harbour, will be thorough- ly cleaned out and "water proofed" and a similar dam erected at the outlet.
The plan in view is that when the three new concreta tanks which have been erected by the Port Development Sub-Department) over the canal at the Pray East Kecinmation end, and which will go into commission on Monday, are filled, the rest of the shipments of water from Wangmoon and elsewhero will be pumped fute the canal, which should hold several) thousand tons of water.
The Canal Walls.
The quality of this water will depend on the ability to stop any seepage of brackish water into the reservoir. One of the walls of the newly constructed canal is a new one from which no trouble is expected, but the other is the former wall repaired and partially reconstructed, As there was ne expectation at the time of the re building that any such 'emergency use would be made of the water- way, the wall was not intended to be absolutely water tight on the whole function of the canal was to be that of a huge drain.
It is believed, however, that with the expenditure of a few hundred dollars the canal can be recondi tioned to form a valuable storage tank.
It must be emphasised that the plan is still in the experimental stage.
We have been requested by the Water Emergency Committee to correct a wrong impression which has got abroad that the Naval au- thorities have agreed to place the Naval Dry Dock at the disposal of the government as a fresh water reservoir.
All that has been dono, it in pointed out, is that the Naval au- thorities have promised to take the matter under consideration. Nothing could be done toward the use of the dock for purposes other than those for which it was con- structed, without authority from the Admiralty, irrespective of the fact that the cost of reconditioning i to prevent the seepage of salt, water would be considerable and: would probably take longer than would be warranted under the circumstances.
VOLCANO HAVOC.
REMINISCENT OF FRANCE & FLANDERS IN WARTIME.
Tokyo, June 21. Although the Komagatake erup. tion miraculously resulted in only one death and a few casualties, investigations reveal that over 33,000 acres of fields and forests and 360 acres of, tillable land have; been laid waste. Villages whose annual industrial output averages Yen 3,000,000 have been destroyed ing the local electric tramways renders reconstruction economically impractical.
