	water supply Peter Naylor On tap and taken for granted but essential to our way of life and to life itself, Britain's water supply today is constant and safe. But how does it arrive at our homes, where does it come from, how does it get from there to our taps, and how is it cleaned to a potable standard? This book answers these questions. It explains how the expansion of towns and cities from Jacobean times necessitated the brining of water long distances to ensure a supply of pure and unpolluted water and it describes the massive engineering schemes that were required to achieve this, culminating in the construction of large dams and reservoirs that flooded valleys and submerged villages. This book also includes a lit of places to visit throughout the United Kingdom where water supply and its history can be better understood. 56pp click on image for contents page more on water & sewage general Price: £5.99

	water treatment and sanitation H. T. Mann & D. Williamson An adequate supply of good quality safe water is essential to the promotion of public health. In many of the less developed parts of the world, particularly in tropical areas, the health hazards caused by polluted water supplies are more numerous and more serious than those in temperate and more developed areas. The purpose of this handbook is to put together in a simple and logical form various aspects which must be considered when investigating the development of a water supply and sewage disposal scheme for a small community. It is not intended as a text book for engineers, although they may find some sections useful for rapid reference, but it is intended for technicians, leaders of rural communities, administrators of schools or hospitals and others who wish to develop a water supply and sewage disposal scheme for their own use. click on image for contents page more on water & sewage general Price: £9.95
