This flow of water will be utilised in another power-house about three miles below Tuai, and the. power to be developed there is approximately 50,000 k.v.a.

This last phase is the most ambitious of all, and little information of a definite character is available regarding the methods to be used, but even in this phase J/he engineers do not anticipate any great difficulties.
