A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Prior to 1870 the history of water-works in the United States present a picture of isolated and spasmodic community efforts to obtain supplies, then, for about a generation, increased activity due largely to the enterprise of business men making water-works equipment, and then a continuous and fairly active growth caused by the rapid increase in urban population, culminating in the general recognition-since 1900-that the design and operation of modern water-works offer opportunities for research, engineering, and administrative skill of the highest grade.
