"Waterworks For The Supply Of Cities And Towns" by Samuel Hughes explores the essential infrastructure required for providing clean water to urban populations. This volume includes a detailed examination of the geological formations of England and how they influence the availability and quality of water resources. It offers insights into the engineering principles and practices involved in constructing and maintaining waterworks during the 19th century.
Hughes's work provides a historical perspective on the challenges and solutions related to urban water management. It is of interest to civil engineers, geologists, historians of technology, and anyone curious about the development of essential public services. This book remains a valuable resource for understanding the foundations of modern water supply systems.
