Water and Its Purification: A Handbook for the Use of Local Authorities, Sanitary Officers, and Others Interested in Water Supply (Classic Reprint) by Samuel Rideal (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Water and Its Purification: A Handbook for the Use of Local Authorities, Sanitary Officers, and Others Interested in Water Supply In the present edition, additional matter dealing with recent water epidemics and with sand filtration has been included and I have had the advantage of having the proof sheets read by my friend Mr. H. Howard Humphreys, A. M. I. C. E., who has given me some useful suggestions. Several alterations in the body of the book have been made in order to bring the subject up to date, and to correct a few errors which crept into the first edition. Chapter I. has been almost entirely re-written. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
