Présentation de l'éditeur
Mr. Hazen's book is decidedly American in point of view and makes a strong case for the filtration of public water supplies as a means of protecting municipalities against typhoid and other forms of disease and for the improvement which can be so produced in the appearance, taste and odor of surface waters.
By some, the book will be regarded as too condensed to give a comprehensive knowledge of the many topics dealt with, but the volume is not intended to be exhaustive. It is such a statement of the essential principles of American water purification practice as Mr. Hazen's large experience as a consulting engineer in this field has led him to believe would be useful to beginners. There is no better textbook for persons desiring a knowledge of water purification in the United States.
There are eighteen chapters in Mr. Hazen's book, including such topics as water supplies from rivers, lakes and wells; the history of water purification in the United States; storage of filtered water; use and measurement of water; suitable pressure to be supplied in water works systems; effect of in in pipes on water, and the layout of works. The subjects dealt with include sand filters, mechanical filters, coagulation basins and aeration.
The book is well illustrated with half-tones and is produced with the usual excellence.
