Paperback. Etat : As New. Surveillance of Drinking Water Quality in Rural Areas (1991) is the sort of book that looks at a village standpipe and says, ?Charming ? now where?s my bacteriological sampling kit?? Barry Lloyd and Richard Helmer take you on a tour of turbidity, taste and total coliforms with the breezy confidence of two men who have spent more time peering into boreholes than most of us spend peering into the fridge. Published by Longman Scientific and Technical at that glorious moment when clipboards were king and spreadsheets squeaked in on floppy disks, it is a manual for anyone who has ever wondered why the kettle tastes faintly of geology. Don?t be fooled by the sober cover: inside there?s a surprisingly adventurous spirit. Springs are mapped, handpumps judged, buckets scolded, and wells politely interrogated about their personal hygiene. Surveillance, here, is not men in vans with headphones; it?s the practical art of making sure the village tap isn?t moonlighting as a petri dish. You?ll pick up the elegant nuts and bolts of rural water monitoring ? sampling routines that actually work, low-cost field tests that don?t sulk in the sun, and decision trees that shepherd you from ?Hmm, cloudy? to ?Aha, action!? with satisfying efficiency. The tone is charmingly 1991 in the best way: pragmatic, field-tested, allergic to faff. There are forms to fill (beautiful), thresholds to respect (stern but fair), and the comforting sense that if you do what Lloyd and Helmer suggest, people will drink safer water and live to complain about the taste of tea again. It?s the rare technical book that talks to NGOs, health inspectors, and rural engineers without patronising any of them ? and it does it while keeping the budget down to the level of a biscuit tin marked ?Petty Cash.? Our copy? Condition: As New. As in: you will find fewer fingerprints than on a chlorinated angel. The spine is straighter than a new standpipe, the pages are as crisp as a frosty morning in a watershed, and the only haze you?ll encounter is the philosophical kind. ISBN: 9780582063303 for the cataloguers, completists and procurement officers who like to double-check their life choices. Ideal for: the charity water wonk who thinks a weekend is plenty of time for a pilot study; the council officer who wants a plan that survives contact with mud; the environmental historian who adores manuals with maps; or the quietly prepared person who believes civilisation is just three missed tankers away from learning to spell ?E. coli.? Buy it from Crappy Old Books , where the water is safe, the humour is dry, and the manuals are spotless. After all, if you?re going to surveil your drinking water, you may as well do it with a book that knows the difference between a well and a well, well. N° de réf. du vendeur 4936
