About this book
Water Waste Prevention is an 1885 technical study by Henry Coddington Meyer (1844-1935), the Civil War cavalry veteran who founded the Engineering Record and campaigned for sanitary reform in American cities. The book documents how much piped water cities lost to leaks and waste, and what meters, inspection, and sound plumbing could save, at a time when municipal waterworks were straining against urban growth. It is a primary source for the sanitary engineering movement of the Gilded Age. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
