Abstract
The developments of storage for water supply throughout many parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley is frequently a relatively costly project. The river valleys are wide and flat, and the slope of the streams is moderate. Thus, at Decatur, Ill., to impound about 9 000 000 000 gal. to furnish an estimated minimum yield of 42 000 000 gal. per day, it is necessary to flood about 5.5 sq. miles and the total cost of the project is almost $2 000 000. Several other water-impounding projects which have come to the speaker's attention, have called for expenditures in excess of bond limitations and have been financed by popular subscription.
