The author examines the geologic structure of the area, assessing the characteristics of the rock formations and their potential impact on the dam's stability and the retention of water. Also discussed is the risk of leakage through cracks or faults in the rock, with the author providing evidence gathered from a canoe trip down the Dix River gorge. The book concludes that while the dam project is feasible, careful attention must be given to the removal of weathered rock and the sealing of any existing cracks or faults to minimize leakage. The author emphasizes the need for ongoing data collection on stream flow to ensure a sufficient water supply for the dam, highlighting the importance of accurate streamflow records.
