Description:Excerpt from Water-Supply Engineering: The Designing, Construction, and Maintenance of Water-Supply Systems, Both City and Irrigation During the eighteen years since the first edition of this book was written there have been great advancements in water works theory and practice, especially in those branches having to do with the quality of water. Consequently, not merely a revising but an entire rewriting of the book seemed to be necessary, if it was to continue to be of any service to water works students and practitioners. In the present edition the matter treating of water purification and the quality of water has been entirely rewritten at much greater length; that describing pumping machinery also is practically new throughout; and hardly a paragraph of the original text has been used without some change calculated to bring the subject up to date. This resulted in considerably increasing the length of a work that was already too long, from some points of view; and Part II of the first two editions, dealing with Construction, has been condensed to a single chapter, and Part III, dealing with Maintenance, has been omitted altogether. Also the chapter on Hydraulics has been omitted, since those using the book are assumed to be familiar with and to possess a text book discussing the principles of this subject. Several of the chapters have been rearranged so as to present the subject matter in a somewhat more logical order.
