Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides historical information on the 1888 investigation into the Washington Aqueduct Tunnel project. Congress had appropriated half a million dollars for the project and a joint committee was convened to investigate the allocation of funds and other matters related to the extension of the water supply for Washington D.C. In the context of this review and the broader evolution of the city's water supply, the author presents an insightful narrative that incorporates the viewpoints of Major Garrett J. Lydecker, an Army engineer in charge at the time, and other key figures in the project. The book offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by 19th-century engineers grappling with urban infrastructure projects amid the complexities of government oversight and scrutiny.
