		But in many parts deep transverse valleys intersect the prevailing direction of the ridges, and facilitate the passage of man, plants and animals, as well as of currents of air which mitigate the contrast that would otherwise be found between the climates of the opposite slopes.
		In valleys where they have been rashly cut away, and the waters pour down the slopes unchecked, every tiny rivulet becomes a raging torrent, that carries off the grassy slopes and devastates the floor of the valley, covering the soil with gravel and debris.
		Bernese Oberland (from the Lake of Geneva to the Furka, the Reuss Valley and the Lake of Lucerne).

	Power Production in the Alps
		In general, the variations of flow of the mountain torrents, according to the time of year, the day and night temperatures, and the prevalence of rain or drought, must be allowed for by the construction of reservoirs from which a constant flow may be obtained throughout the year.
		These reservous are obtained by closing the mountain valleys, at suitable points, with the aid of vast dams or barrages, and so impounding a water supply sufficiently large to provide a regular flow of water at all times.
		The whole of a mountain-side was blasted away to produce stone for the construction of the dam, and one of the telpher railways carried the stone straight across the intervening valley to the works at the barrage.

		In Göschenen, the steady climb up the Reuss Valley comes to an end; the train accelerates- and disappears almost immediately into a tunnel which, since 1882, has provided the fastest and most reliable link between German-speaking Switzerland and the Tieino, the Italian-speaking part.
		The former tobacco-growing areas in the Mendrisiotto, and the Magadino Plain, which used to be swampland before it was drained, are the main areas of fiat land that are fertile and agriculturally cultivable in the canton.
		The villages in the valleys are all still there - romantic and sleepy - but many of their former inhabitants have emigrated - not to Australia this time, but to the overcrowded industrial areas around Lugano, Locarno, Bellinzona and Mendrisio-Chiasso.

		So in the test site Reuss Valley (1), the demonstrator cannot only be applied for emergency management of accidents with hazards for the population (atmospheric dispersion of toxic gases in complex terrain; alpine topographie) but also for groundwater.
		In this part of the valley, the population density is partially high (presence of the towns Fluelen, Altdorf, Erstfeld) and there are some industral objects and public buildings in the neighbourhood of the motorway and the railway.
		Because of the steep mountain flanks the transportation routes are concentrated to the narrow valley bottom.

	Europe
		Hence the Reuss was identified with the imaginary river Eridanos which represents meridian 8°24’E. Meridian 8°24’E marked the westernmost limit of the Oikoumene; to the Greeks it was known as the River Eridanus, a mythical entity which divides our quarter of the world from Hesperia, the realm of the dead.
		The north side of this valley is formed by the massif of the Dammastock and the south side by the San Gottardo.
		The river Reuss was considered the key to the geography of Europe because it joined together all the important rivers of Europe, the Danube, the Rhone, the Ticino-Po, and the Rhone, and because it provided the missing link between the sources of the last three of them and the sources of the Danube.

		Shortly after the war the Furka-Oberalp Railway was opened to connect the valley of the Rhône with that of the Rhine, along the great central cleft of Switzerland which is so prominent a feature of any contour map of that country.
		Thus, except for traffic up the valleys at the two extreme ends of the line, and for trains run for ski and toboggan enthusiasts from Andermatt up to the Oberalp Pass during the winter-sport season, the Furka-Oberalp Railway is closed to traffic.
