Excerpt from Water-Power in the British Empire: The Reports of the Water-Power Committee of the Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies In the first census of production for the year 1907, the total power of industrial engines in use in Great Britain and Ireland is given as 10,578,475 h.p., and the steam-engine power of road rollers and road locomotives owned by public authorities amounted to 167,192 h.p. Of the industrial engines, steam-reciprocating engines were rated at 9,118,818 h.p.; steam turbines, 530,892; internal-combustion engines, gas, oil, etc. 680,177; and water-power, 177,907 h.p. The persons employed in the factories using this large power numbered nearly 101/2 millions; so that, roughly, the power available for the industries of Britain was nearly 1 h.p. per person employed. To support the 46 millions of people now living in the United Kingdom thus requires a continuous enormous expenditure of power, and a very large consumption of fuel. The present position of the coal question is supposed by some to be very temporary, and it is hoped that shortly we may resume our former fortunate state when coal was plentiful and motive power and heating very economical from the money viewpoint. The coal position of the world, however, must deteriorate from decade to decade, and it might be of advantage to consider our position in a coalless and oilless world. The position of Great Britain and the Empire is, however, sufficient for us. The combined report of the Water-Power Committee of the Conjoint Board of Scientific Societies considers Great Britain and the Empire in relation to the main alternative to fuel - that is, water-power.

A bold new account of European imperialism told through the history of water In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a handful of powerful European states controlled more than a third of the land surface of the planet. These sprawling empires encompassed not only rainforests, deserts, and savannahs but also some of the world’s most magnificent rivers, lakes, marshes, and seas. Liquid Empire tells the story of how the waters of the colonial world shaped the history of imperialism, and how this imperial past still haunts us today. Spanning the major European empires of the period, Corey Ross describes how new ideas, technologies, and institutions transformed human engagements with water and how the natural world was reshaped in the process. Water was a realm of imperial power whose control and distribution were closely bound up with colonial hierarchies and inequalities—but this vital natural resource could never be fully tamed. Ross vividly portrays the efforts of officials, engineers, fisherfolk, and farmers to exploit water, and highlights its crucial role in the making and unmaking of the colonial order. Revealing how the legacies of empire have persisted long after colonialism ebbed away, Liquid Empire provides needed historical perspective on the crises engulfing the world’s waters, particularly in the Global South, where billions of people are faced with mounting water shortages, rising flood risks, and the relentless depletion of sea life.

Paper and the British Empire examines the evolution of the paper industry within British organisational frameworks and highlights the role of the Empire as a market and business-making area in a world of shrinking commerce and rising trade barriers. Drawing on a valuable range of primary sources, this book covers the period 1861–1960 and examines events from the establishment of free trade backed by the gold standard to Britain’s membership of the European Free Trade Association. In the field of the paper industry, the speed and intensity of the industrialisation process around the globe have been shaped by a wide variety of variables, including the surrounding institutional framework; entrepreneurial and organisational strategies; the cost and accessibility of transport; and the availability of capital, knowledge, energy resources, and technology. The supply of papermaking raw materials has also been key and has historically been the most important determinant for geographical location and dominance. The research in this work focuses on the roles played by such variants, on the one hand, and demand characteristics on the other. In particular, it considers developments connected to a quest for Empire-grown raw materials in order to tackle the problem of the lack of indigenous raw materials and the resulting dependence on Scandinavian wood pulp imports. This text is of considerable interest to advanced students and researchers in economic history, business history, and the paper industry, and will also be useful to organisations working within the pulp and paper industries.
