Excerpt from Water Engineering: A Practical Treatise on the Measurement, Storage Conveyance, and Utilisation of Water for the Supply of Towns, for Mill Power, and for Other Purposes

Since a series of articles on The Water Question,' by the Author, appeared in the Building News,' frequent requests have been made that they Should be reprinted in book-form. Those requests have now been complied with, and the Author has, at the same time, added much new matter, and rewritten some parts of the old.

So large a subject could not be treated from the Author's own experience alone, and he has freely referred' to such sources Of information as were avail able to him, for those parts Of the subject which did not come immediately within his own experience. But, for the most part, the information is derived from direct Observation during a period Of about thirty years.

The authorities referred to are, it is hoped, fairly quoted throughout; at least it has been the desire of the Author not to assert as of his own Observation that which is due to the statements Of eminent engineers.
