Report on the Value of the Dix River as a Source of Water Power

By August Frederic Foerste

This is a republication of August Frederic Foerste's 1912 report, "Report on the Value of the Dix River as a Source of Water Power." The report provides a detailed assessment of the Dix River's potential for hydroelectric power generation in the early 20th century. It includes observations on the river's flow, topography, and surrounding geological features relevant to water power development.

Foerste's work offers insights into the engineering and economic considerations of harnessing water resources during a period of significant industrial expansion in the United States. It serves as a valuable historical document for understanding the early stages of hydroelectric power development and water resource management in the Dix River region of Kentucky.
