About This Book

A technical report presents the planning, design, construction and operation of municipal water-supply and sewerage systems for a growing industrial city. It examines local geology, hydrology, population and climate, surveys water sources and materials for concrete, and details intake works and a small storage dam with a lined settling basin. The account describes transmission mains, distributing reservoirs and gravity supplies, outlines the principal sewerage layout, outfall and disposal by irrigation, and provides laboratory analyses, labor and cost estimates, proposed tariffs and sanitary regulations, accompanied by discussion from reviewing engineers.
