Abstract
NORWAY has many interesting features to a visitor with scientific and technical tastes. The ubiquity of electricity generated from water-power has often been the subject of comment. The peculiar formation of the high tablelands, with lakes at heights of 1000–3000 feet, constantly renewed by water from the snows above, is favourable to hydroelectric supply. The potential value of the water-power of Norway has been assessed at 15,000,000 h.p., of which about one million is at present in use.
