Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of rare photographs chronicles the construction of one of the largest masonry dams ever built. From the beginnings of the first Croton Dam, completed in 1842, and of the new dam, which was finished in 1907, up to the present day, The Croton Dams and Aqueduct provides a stunning portrait of the entire project and the region that it impacted: New York City and Westchester County. As early as the 1770s, New York considered creating waterworks and even proposed damming area rivers, including the Hudson. With disease and fires blamed on the lack of water, plans were created c. 1830 to dam the Croton River. By 1842, water from the first dam flowed into New York City from Yorktown. Built to provide enough water for "centuries," the first dam was obsolete by the 1880s. Exponential growth from immigration created the demand for more water, and New York built the New Croton Dam. The new dam not only provided clean water for New York's burgeoning population but also spawned a new community of immigrant workers in the once Anglo community of Westchester County.

This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York City's municipal water supply system provides about 1 billion gallons of drinking water a day to over 8.5 million people in New York City and about 1 million people living in nearby Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, and Orange counties. The combined water supply system includes 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes with a total storage capacity of approximately 580 billion gallons. The city's Watershed Protection Program is intended to maintain and enhance the high quality of these surface water sources. Review of the New York City Watershed Protection Program assesses the efficacy and future of New York City's watershed management activities. The report identifies program areas that may require future change or action, including continued efforts to address turbidity and responding to changes in reservoir water quality as a result of climate change.

Pour niveler le dessus, on posa, sur les petites voutes en brique, une assise de pierre de 6 pouces d'epaisseur, et sur cette assise, on repandit la couche de beton de 9 pouces d'epaisseur qui forma l'extrados du pave de l'aqueduc, fig. G. La construction de l'aqueduc a subi une modification dans l'etendue de ce pont, car les murs lateraux /"/'y ont une hauteur de o pieds, au lieu de 4, comme d'ordin3ire, fig. 1, 2 et 3 pl. IV; et la voute, au lieu d'un plein cintre, presente en coupe un arceau de 7 pieds 7 pouces de largeur, sur 2 pieds 8V2 pouces de fleche. Le fond et les murs lateraux de l'aqueduc sont doubles en fonte: cette doublure, indiquee fig. G et 7, est fixe dans la maconnerie, et fournit ainsi stone, the whole then filled over with earth according to the profil and dimensions of fig. 4 and 5. The spaces h h serve not only for protection against frost from without, but also for carrying off the water falling from the sky on the backfilling, down into the hollows e e. Upon the extrados of the bridge-arch fig. 2 the drainage-water runs over the tangenting surface of the spandril-backing into the dry foundation-wall m m, as marked with arrows in fig. 2 and 4; the surface over which the water drains, is well plastered with hydraulic mortar. The exterior masonry of both the bridges is of wellhammered stone, throughout the structure hydraulic mortar was used. For the distance of Aqueduct between the bridges and back of them to the side-hills, the rock-bottom was prepared with steps fig. 2 and a foundation-wall of dry stone-masonry carried up, the exterior faces of some thickness into the wall was laid in...
