A Geological Inquiry Respecting the Water-Bearing Strata of the Country Around London, With Reference Especially to the Water-Supply of the Metropolis ... Some Remarks on Springs (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
A Geological Inquiry Respecting the Water-Bearing Strata of the Country Around London is a focused look at how underground rocks shape London’s water supply, with practical notes from late‑19th century field work and updated findings from a supplementary edition.
This nonfiction work explains which rock layers hold water, where they extend under the London Basin, and how boreholes have revealed the potential and limits of these sources. It includes real examples, like the New Lodge bore near Ascot that produced a significant flow, and draws connections to water strategies in other regions.
- How the Lower Greensand, Chalk, and other deposits influence water availability around London.
- Key underground areas and thicknesses that determine how much water can be tapped.
- Notable boreholes and their results, including recent tests and their implications for future supply.
- Context from European practice and how France’s artesian wells compare to British experience.
Ideal for readers of geology, hydrology, or Victorian-era scientific inquiry, and anyone curious about the deeper roots of the metropolis’s water supply.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the use of deep wells to tap into underground water sources. The author was prompted to write this book after observing that previous wells had failed to meet London's growing water demands. The book is organized into five sections. The first section introduces general ideas about where water can be found underground, and how the geology of an area can impact water availability. The second section describes the geology of the London area, with specific attention paid to the layers of sediment which hold London's water. The third section examines the various water-bearing strata around London, and evaluates the potential of each strata for meeting London's water needs. The fourth section considers the theoretical underpinnings for why some strata hold water and other do not, and the fifth section covers various factors that need to be considered when drilling wells, such as the type of strata being drilled through. The author concludes by arguing that deep wells offer a viable alternative to traditional sources of water, and could help meet the growing water demands of London and other large cities.
