Transcript	Consequently, our known water power resources, which so far have been investigated only quite superficially, would suffice to replace one-half of all. the stationary engines of the U.S.A. or one-fifth of the stationary engines installed throughout the world. But we must confess that we utilise only 830,000 h. p., that is, 1.3 per cent of this huge reserve of water power. Let us deal now somewhat more minutely with our main reservoirs of water power. Huge plains like the Western, the Moscow, the Central Black Earth, and the Nizhni-Novgorod regions, with their leisurely rivers, can safely be left out of consideration, while we concentrate our attention oh the wide expanse of the Dnieper with its famous rapids where gigantic Dnieprostroy, the pride of the Soviets, is rearing its head, and will soon approach its completion. The power resources of this river are estimated at approximately 800,000 h. p. There is a hum of activity heard in the southern part of our Union, under the shadow of the grey peaks of the Caucasian mountains. Soviet labour is already at work endeavouring to harness the power of these mountain streams and to make the "savage beauty" of the Caucasian landscape serve the purpose of socialist construction. The water power resources of the Aragva and Terek River systems have so far been estimated at 16 million h. p. Further away to the southeast, beyond the Caspian Sea and the vast sandy deserts, we have torrid Turkestan where the great rivers dash with terrific force down the heights of the Pamir, the roof of the world, gravid with potential power. Tentative calculations have put the water power resources of the Pamir at about 12 million h. p. Let us now pass from the torrid south to the country of perpetual ice and snow. We have before us the unlimited steppes of West Siberia with scant water supplies and chiefly level land; only 50
