Excerpt from Small Water Supplies: Being a Practical Treatise on the Methods, of Collecting, Storing and Conveying Water, for Domestic Use in Large Country Mansions, Sions, Estates and Small Villages and Farms, for the Use of Engineers, Estate Agents, and Owners of Country PropertyIn the following treatise the subject of water supplies to country houses and estates is discussed. Although there are at the present time numerous excellent treatises on the subject of "waterworks, " yet these books almost without exception aim at discussing works of large magnitude such as are carried out every year at home and abroad for supplying large towns with water for domestic purposes, and to a lesser extent, water for power purposes. This class of work demands high engineering skill for its proper carrying out, and this skill is only obtained after years of devotion to and experience on similar works. Moreover, the subject of quite small supplies, which are essentially different than the larger ones, receive little or no consideration. It was this reason, together with the fact that the writer in his younger days felt the want of some sort of a guide to assist him in carrying out successfully several of the small water supply schemes on which he has been engaged from time to time, that induced him to put together in concise form a few of the most important details of this work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
