Présentation de l'éditeur
The quality of water found depends upon the geological formations over which it flows or through which it percolates, and upon the previous use which man has made of it. Because of the growing scarcity of the supply, the increasing use per capita, the congestion of population and the occupation of even the desert and mountain slope, the securing of either safe potable water or water suited to manufacturing purposes becomes more and more difficult, and there is demanded a closer study of the countrys resources and of waters suited to the different uses. Restrictions will undoubtedly be adopted in the near future preventing not only sheer waste and pollution, but assigningvarious supplies to the most suitable uses. In other words, certain sources of water supply must be saved for the most important needs, and certain other sources must be so treated as to make them usable. Water unsatisfactory for one purpose may be or may be made quite satisfactory for another.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
