Waterpower meaning

Additional waterpower (25,000 h.p.) is derived from Taylor's Falls on the St Croix river.

The Winnipeg River has at this point a fall of 16 ft., which, with the lake as a reservoir, furnishes an abundant and unfailing waterpower.

Several creeks and the upper Cape Fear river furnish considerable waterpower, and in or near Fayetteville are manufactories of cotton goods, silk, lumber, wooden-ware, turpentine, carriages, wagons, ploughs, edge tools and flour.

This machinery was operated by waterpower, then first used in the United States for the spinning of cotton thread; and from this may be dated the beginning of the factory system in Rhode Island.

Industries are in a more backward condition than in any other province of Catalonia, despite the abundance of waterpower.
