About This Item
New York: The Monacelli Press, 2006. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 268 pages. Hardcover with dust jacket. Very clean, unmarked copy still in publishers shrink-wrap. The fresh, clean taste of New York's water is legendary. Less well known is the fascinating story of the massive program of exploration and construction that was required to achieve such purity. The story of that monumental undertaking is told in Water-Works and illustrated with an astonishing archive of drawings and photographs documenting the design and construction of dams, reservoirs, aqueducts, and tunnels. This complex system brings millions of gallons of water to the city every day from rivers many hundreds of miles away. Record # 353122
