Thus there would be maintained a continuous fall of water over the power dam from the upper to the lower pool, a fall which Engineer Cooper estimates would produce a constant output of between 500,000 and 700,000 h. p. convertible into some 3,268 millions kilowatt hours a year. (Muscle Shoals, largest plant, turns out 700 million...
