Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Water-Supplies: Requirements, Resources, and the Construction of Works The present volume has been prepared with particular reference to the needs of teachers and students in technical schools in which the subject of Water-supply receives a considerable amount of attention. The work is based chiefly upon the experience of the first-named author in teaching the subject for a number of years in the institution with which he is connected, and has been written with special reference to use in his own class-room. In the discussion of the various subjects treated, the endeavor has been to lay stress upon fundamental principles rather than upon details of practice, although methods of construction have been freely given where they might serve to illustrate the principles involved or bring out the effects of differences in conditions. With the same idea in mind, many problems, usually treated empirically, have been subjected to analysis, more or less crude, but useful for calling attention to certain general laws and limitations. It is believed also that such analyses may often be of much assistance in utilizing the results of observation, and that, if properly applied, they will aid much in the cultivation of the judgment. The necessity for the designer to keep constantly before him the question of true economy has been frequently emphasized, and to aid the beginner a brief general discussion of this subject has been given in Chapter XI. No apology is necessary at this time for the comparatively full treatment given to the subject of the Quality of Water-supplies in Chapters VIII, IX, and X. The authors have felt that the great importance of questions relating to the purification of water requires a more thorough presentation of the sanitary phase of the subject than has heretofore been customary in works designed for engineers. The subject of Ground-water has also received considerably more attention than is usual, but, it is thought, not more than the importance of the subject will justify.
