Synopsis

Clean water has real value—and this book shows you why.

It explains how the quality of drinking water affects health, daily life, and the cost of supplying it to communities.

This edition explains, in practical terms, how water quality is defined, measured, and improved. It uses real-world examples to show how filtration, hardness, turbidity, odor, and color influence the experience of drinking water and the economics of water systems.
  • How sanitary quality reduces disease risk and raises public health value
  • How filtration and treatment improve taste, clarity, and odor
  • How hardness, turbidity, and other factors affect households, industry, and boilers
  • How the depreciation of water quality translates into costs for communities and utilities
Ideal for readers of public health, city planning, and the history of water treatment.
