• W2329535021 abstract "Ws yATER supplies in New England appear so abundant that a casual observer does not see how many problems worthy of geographic study are present. Very little investigation, however, reveals numerous important relationships between physical characteristics or human occupance of the land and utilization of water. The following article, largely by means of selected examples, presents a survey of water problems met by growing cities and towns of the six states. The writer wishes to acknowledge indebtedness to Mr. Leon A. Goodale, Water Commissioner of Worcester, Massachusetts, and other water commissioners throughout New England, for their kind consideration and willingness to give information upon matters treated herein. She wishes also to thank Dr. W. Elmer Ekblaw of Clark University, who suggested and encouraged the work. Water is the most important thing in the world. Men die of thirst without it, and plants and animals upon which they depend also perish. The nation has been forced to realize the tragedy of lack of water during the last few years in the drought-stricken semi-arid western plains. Eyes have turned westward not only to the great irrigation projects in which water has given life, but also to the parched, dust-enveloped expanses where lack of water has brought destruction to former grazing and wheat land, temporarily but disastrously become desert. Eastern United States, with moderate to abundant rain, has less to fear from drought than has the West. Emerald hills and sparkling lakes bespeak a plenty seldom challenged by long weeks or months of dryness. Yet in East as well as West, men must have water for crops, for cities, for industries, for power, for navigation, for recreation; and adequacy of supply may be a critical matter. Without water, or without as large a supply as needed for their activities, all suffer, and only by planning for the future can they be sure of enough to tide over years of scarcity. New England has a bountiful supply of water. While presence or absence of a copious supply led men to alter their plans for settlement or development in some cases, any restriction imposed by scarcity has been extremely local. No city or town has felt expansion irnpossible because of inadequate water, no farmer has had to give up farming as a result of long-continued drought. Whatever the occupation selected, man has been able to carry it out so far as water supply has been concerned. The total quantity of water in New England is enough to supply many more people than are living within the boundaries of the six states today. A statistically insignificant part of the forested watersheds is now used as a source of municipal water supply, and whereas betweetn eight and nine million people dwell in the region, more than 200 million could probably live upon the total quantity of water there available, were water the only requisite. Yet the problem of getting adequate pure water to cities and towns is a serious one, and millions of dollars have been spent and are being spent for great reservoirs. What are New England's problems of water supply? What part have climate, relief, geology, glaciology, had in man's selection and utilization of particular" @default.
