THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1956 TUE MICHIGAN DATLY WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 29, 1956 )AM BUILDERS HARNESS RESOURCES: Russia Gains In Hydroelectric Power I! A f By TOM WHITNEY " A0 Foreign Staff Writer Big dams these days often make news.' Nuclear power may' be just around the corner, but right now hydroelectric power is the world's darling. All over this planet the dam builders are hard at work harness- ing the resources of great rivers- to produce power for booming in- dustries, to irrigate new farmlands to feed rising populations, to cre- ate and extend vital waterways. They are changing the map- creating big lakes and reservoirs where there was dry land before, digging long canals, and giving birth to brand new cities where the electricity they make is con- sumed in metallurgical, chemical and other factories. In the forefront of hydroelectric development are three big coun- tries-the United States, the Sov- iet Union and Canada. But in India, Egypt, South America, West- 'er Europe, Japan and other coun- tries and continents big projects are also being built. It is for these relatively unde- veloped countries ofr, the world that big hydroelectric development promises to bring the most revo- lutionary changes. Dams also nowadays have a way of becoming political issues. When the United ,States and Britain offered Egypt 70 million dollars to get work started on the biggest Egyptian contruction proj- ect since the pyramids-the High ]E am at -Aswan -- the offer got worldwide attention. The two Western countries were competing with the Soviet gov- ernment, which had volunteered to undertake the job for the Egyp- tians. The West has apparently won this contest since the Egyp- tians have agreed to a financing plan involving money from the United State,. Britain and the World Bank. The Soviet Union is out to be- come the world's foremost hydro- electric power producer and, as the accompanying map shows, is making great strides towards this goal. Under construction at the present time in the U.S.S.R. are several dozen power and .irriga- tion dams. The five largest are to have by themselves an eventual capacity of about nine million kilowatts. This is nearly equal to the total capacity of all electric power sta- tions in the U.S.S.R. before World War II. The United States made great progress in putting its waterpower resources to use during the 1930s and '40s. The Columbia River and Tennessee Valley developments, which surpassed anything previ- ously known in the world, are sym- bols'of this.

N HA ' CAPACMTYFALLELECnewseate with the St. Lawrence Seaway, the United States is not permitting its power development to slow down. Canada's enormous water re- /sources are already well used and that country is pushing ahead rap- idly on new projects. Hydroelectric development is by no means confined to the world's big powers. India is working on a series of dams and irrigation projects. Power needs are import- ant to that country, just beginning its large-scale industrial develop- ment, but irrigation needs are even more important. India's Bhakra dam may be the world's highest when completed. It will rise from 700 to 750 feet above the bed of the Sutlej River which is fed from Himalayan snows. Various figures ranging from 350,000 kw. to 900,000 kw. have been given as the project's power capacity., Egypt's big project is the As-i wan high dam. It will span the Nile where high cliffs rise on eith- er side. It will be 365 feet high and irrigate two million acres of land-adding a third to Egypt's cultivated area. It is reported the annual power production from it will be nine billion kilowatt hours. This im- plies a power plant of well over one million kw. Plans at present provide for completion of the work in 15 to 18 years with expendi- ture, it is said, of over a billion dollars. Work is scheduled to start this summer., In almost every other part of the world, dams also are being constructed. In comparison with the giant undertakings of the big powers most of these seem small.
