Report by Joseph B. Walker; John Bedel; E. W. Dimond. This study presents a formal early American attempt to inventory and evaluate New Hampshire's hydropower resources. Commissioned by the state in 1870, the volume compiles returns from 74 towns, outlines five major hydrographic basins (Connecticut, Merrimack, Androscoggin, Saco, Piscataqua), and analyzes how volume, variability, falls, reservoirs, forests, and geography affect power availability. It argues that a thorough hydrographic survey would accelerate wealth, population growth, and industrial diversification by attracting capital and guiding dam and canal development. It discusses the climatic and topographic factors that stabilize flow, the strategic location of mills near rail lines and markets, and the importance of reservoirs to sustain use through droughts. The Report also proposes a three-person commission and estimates costs at roughly six to seven thousand dollars, with a two-year timeline. An appended “Statistical and Descriptive View” aggregates town-by-town data to illustrate the state’s latent hydraulic potential.
