Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses improving the quality of farm water supplies, with the author emphasizing safety and ease of use. Once considered unimportant, the author underscores the growing awareness of contaminated water sources, and the risks they pose to health. The book not only outlines how to identify contaminated and unsafe water sources but also provides practical solutions for securing clean water. The book explains the most common methods of sourcing water on farms, offers ideas for protecting wells, springs, and other sources of farm water supplies from pollution, and emphasizes the importance of protecting the well's surroundings. It suggests methods for getting running water into the house including the simplest and cheapest methods. While the book acknowledges that elevated tank systems are the cheapest and easiest to install, it points out the dangers of freezing and the accumulation of dirt, and recommends the hydropneumatic system as a better alternative. The author concludes by underscoring the significance of clean water, positioning it as not only essential for good health but also vital for reducing the drudgery of carrying water, particularly for women.
