Synopsis

Excerpt from Sewerage and Land-Drainage

Attention will be called to the fact that drainage-works. Past and present, are, and have always been, the outgrowth of tradition, as modified from time to time by a better knowledge Of what it is necessary or desirable to accomplish. The earliest subterranean works, as far as they are still retained in use, were Obviously intended to prevent an interference with the convenient use Of' the surface by open water-courses. Later, as inconvenience was felt from the accumulation Of surface water falling on paved and other impervious surfaces, drains were extended to relieve the diffity thence resulting. When the introduction of a public water-supply overtaxed existing facilities for the storage or removal Of household wastes. First the superabundant liquid and later the whole foul flow was delivered into the Old drains. Annoyance arising from the discharge Of organic wastes into the rough channels originally intended for surface-water, means were deed for improving the form and construction Of the conduit so as to reduce the amount Of deposit. Still more recently a com prehension Of the sanitary importance of a complete immediate removal of foul wastes led to the construction Of sewers especially for this purpose. In many cases storm-water, except that falling on back roofs and yards, was excluded. The latest step, and, as I think, a very important one, and which - in practice - originated with me. Secured the exclusion even Of this relatively small proportion of storm-water and the substitution of artificial means for keeping the sewers clean by frequent and regular flushing.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
