The original intention of this work was to arrange a treatise, in the form of a compilation, of general and local information on water supply, in all its bearings, with special reference to Cincinnati, in view of the fact that the question of a new supply would become an important one when the “Markley Farm Project” presented a more tangible form.

The authorities quoted are the highest, and the general facts are from the most reliable sources. Considerable space is given to pollution of water, believing it to be the most important question that bears on the subject before us. Water-works officials will find useful information in the work, which is so frequently desired and sometimes difficult to obtain.
