An Elementary Handbook On Potable Water Classic Reprint

Excerpt from An Elementary Handbook on Potable Water As an analytical and consulting chemist, the author of this handbook is frequently called upon to give information on the subject of water in its relations to disease. Two bulletins from his pen on this subject have already been issued by the Iowa State Board of Health, for the benefit of the public; and from the favor with which they have been received, he has been induced to prepare the present treatise, designed especially for the use of physicians, sanitarians, and chemists. It is hoped that the subject is presented in a sufficiently interesting manner to be worthy of their study, and that the facts are expressed in scientific language capable of being easily understood by every intelligent person. The impurities in drinking-water that arc oftenest the cause of disease and death are discussed here. The natural and artificial processes of removing them from water are also given due consideration. But all methods of analysis are avoided, except some of the elementary qualitative tests given in the appendix.

Excerpt from The Life of Inland Waters: An Elementary d104 Book of Fresh-Water Biology for American Students The study of water life, which is today the special province of the science of limnology*, had its beginning in the remote unchronicled past. Limnology is a modern name; but many limnological phenomena were known of old. The congregating of fishes upon their spawning beds, the emergence of swarms of May - flies from the rivers, the cloudlike flight of midges over the marshes, and even the water bloom spreading as a filmy mantle of green over the still surface of the lake such things could not escape the notice of the most casual observer. Two of the plagues of Egypt were limnological phenomena; the plague of frogs, and the plague of the rivers that were turned to blood.

Excerpt from Potable Water and Methods of Detecting Impurities The object of this volume is to pre sent clearly and briefly the essential qualities of potable water, how it may be obtained and the significance of chemical, bacterial and microscopical tests of its quality, both in themselves and relatively. There is also some dis ensaiou of the value of pure water, the relations between water and disease, and typhoid fever records as an index of the purity or impurity of public water supplies.

Excerpt from The Microscopy of Drinking-Water This book has a twofold purpose. It is intended primarily to serve as a guide to the water-analyst and the water-works engineer, describing the methods of microscopical examination, assisting in the identification of the common microscopic organisms found in drinking-water and interpreting the results in the light of environmental studies. Its second purpose is to stimulate a greater interest in the study of microscopic aquatic life and general limnology from the practical and economic standpoint. The work is elementary in character. Principles are stated and briefly illustrated, but no attempt is made to present even a summary of the great mass of data that has accumulated upon the subject during the last decade. The illustrations have been drawn largely from biological researches made at the laboratory of the Boston Water Works and from the reports of the Massachusetts State Board of Health. In considering them one should remember that the environmental conditions of the Massachusetts water-supplies are not universal, and that every water-supply must be studied from the standpoint of its own surroundings.
