Most of us give little thought to the hidden systems that bring us water and take it away when we're done with it. But these underappreciated marvels of engineering face an array of challenges that cannot be solved without a fundamental change to our relationship with water, David Sedlak explains in this enlightening book. To make informed decisions about the future, we need to understand the three revolutions in urban water systems that have occurred over the past 2,500 years and the technologies that will remake the system. The author starts by describing Water 1.0, the early Roman aqueducts, fountains, and sewers that made dense urban living feasible. He then details the development of drinking water and sewage treatment systems-the second and third revolutions in urban water. He offers an insider's look at current systems that rely on reservoirs, underground pipe networks, treatment plants, and storm sewers to provide water that is safe to drink, before addressing how these water systems will have to be reinvented. For everyone who cares about reliable, clean, abundant water, this book is essential reading. 606 $aWater$xHistory 606 $aWater and civilization$xHistory 606 $aWater resources development$xHistory 606 $aWater-supply engineering$xHistory 615 0$aWater$xHistory. 615 0$aWater and civilization$xHistory. 615 0$aWater resources development$xHistory. 615 0$aWater-supply engineering$xHistory. 676 $a333.91 686 $aNAT038000$aARC010000$aBUS067000$2bisacsh 700 $aSedlak$b David L.$01108039 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806158503321 996 $aWater 4.0$94031557 997 $aUNINA
