内容説明
This full-length English translation of "The Public Fountains of the City of Dijon", is Henry Darcy's account of the water supply system he built in Dijon, France in 1840. Darcy's 12-km aqueduct and cast-iron pipe distribution system supplied free spring water to more than 100 street fountains located throughout Dijon. Darcy not only did away with Dijon's meager supply of pestilential well water, but the water he provided was so pure and abundant that Dijon suddenly ranked second only to Rome in water quality and quantity.Written in 1856 as an engineer's guide to water and the construction of water supply systems, the book is an encyclopedia of mid-18th century knowledge of water, wells, springs, pipe-making and other topics. In an appendix devoted to water filtration, Darcy describes the experiments that led to the formulation of the law of water movement through sand that we know as Darcy's Law. From the foreword by Dr. Jack Sharp, Jr. of the University of Texas, "Patricia Bobeck's wonderful translation opens a window into the engineering science of the early 19th century, its challenges, and its modern implications.
Scientists, engineers, policy analysts and the well-read general public will find this a most intriguing volume." This translation contains 28 plates of Darcy's engineering drawings that were originally published as a companion volume to the 647 page French text.
