Book excerpt: Excerpt from "Water Supply" And "Drainage" Systematised and Simplified This small volume is in reality a supplement to the author's The Precise Calculation of Pipe Drain and Sewer Dimensions, ' but can, if so desired, be used without any reference thereto the help of many error-saving Tables, which find a place in the original work, being however in such case not available. It illustrates how the preparation of a project for either Water Supply' or Drainage can be systematised and simplified by a consideration of the hydraulic gradients' of the entire system and by their employment in ascertaining precisely from the parent work and the Tables therein, or very approximately from the two Scales in the present work, the dimensions of the pipes, drains or sewers needed for the particular scheme under consideration. As these dimensions can in either case be ascertained for any reasonable slope in the water surface and practically any required discharge by simple multiplication and a con sideration of the Tables or Scales, this work should be a special help to small corporations, colonists, planters, estate agents, and all who cannot afford or obtain other professional advice and assistance.
