Transcript	soil, while the mountainous character of the country insures high altitudes for the falling waters. The Turkestan section comes next. Western Siberia is low-lying land down to the Yenisei River, bounded on the south by the high Altai Mountains in which large rivers have their courses. Consequently, we have here a wealth of water power. It should be noted that in East Siberia, though there are high mountain ranges, the waters are ice-bound for the greater part of the year. Nevertheless some of the rivers represent immense stores of water power, e. g., the Yenisei, and especially the Angard River which has steep rapids along its course. The Far East is well supplied with water power resources, if we leave the regions of perpetual ice outside of our calculations. The European part of our Union represents a vast plain with calmly flowing rivers and a low fall of water, so that on the whole it does not favour the concentration of large water power resources. However, certain exceptional points are quite rich in concentrated water-fall power, e. g., the rapids of Dnieper, the Bug and the Dniester. Furthermore, on the periphery of the Lake Region in the north there is a considerable drop before the water reaches sea level (e. g., the Volkhov River rapids). The water power resources of our country have been -but little studied and the data badly digested. There is no complete chart showing our water power. Our total known water power is estimated at approximately 65 million horse-power. In this respect we are running neck to neck with the U.S.A. In order to gain even an approximate notion of the magnitude of this inexhaustible power which is being continually renewed, it should be borne in mind that the capacity of the stationary engines in the U.S.A. is 130 million h. p. (in our country this is so far only 12 million h. p.) while the total capacity of stationary engines throughout the world is 300 million h. p. 4 e 49
