On the Hydraulics of the Hemlock Lake Conduit of the Rochester, N. Y., Water Works
The Rochester Water-works were made a dual system, involving a domestic supply by gravity from Hemlock Lake and a supply by direct pressure from the Genesee River, for the suppression of fires. Upon the completion of the line from Hemlock Lake to Rush Reservoir its designing engineers published its capacity under normal conditions, as 9 292 800 gallons in twenty-four hours. In the annual report of the Executive Board of the City of Rochester for the year 1876 may be found a discussion of the hydraulic questions involved, together with a theoretical demonstration, that the daily discharge of 9 292 800 gallons was in accordance with the more recent determinations as to the discharge of large conduits.
