| The Tail-Race |
|
| Water from the turbines is discharged via 59 feet long draft tubes to the tail race and is then conveyed back to the river downstream at Parteen-a-Lax. For most of its length it is a cutting through solid rock. Care had to be taken to remove any protruding pieces of rock in order to facilitate navigation. A bridge was constructed over the tail-race at Parteen Village. | Blasting the rock for the tail-race near Clonlara |
