Excavation and Embankment by Water Power
I wish to call the attention of the Society to a plan by which large excavations and embankments can be cheaply mad—which is especially applicable to earthen dams—by simply applying the method used in the hydraulic mines that have been so largely developed in California. The system, in brief, is discharging the water under a vertical head of from 100 to 300 feet against the bank to be excavated. The momentum of the water cuts the bank, the material of which is conveyed by it into the flume, and thence by it to the place at which it is to be discharged.
