Water, Wastewater, and Sludge Filtration Book

This book regards the living conditions during the Victorian era in England which encompassed an urban population explosion without accompanying satisfactory sanitation and other health measures and precautions to deal with the same. The lack of incentive, and coordination by the government which combined with the lack of scientific understanding of what caused the various sickness (e.g. airborne vs. water borne) made for dire conditions. It is generally an interesting topic if not the best written. At times there is repetition and it can bog down a bit, but over all it is an illuminating read of some serious woes in England during that era. A good background foundation too if reading Dickens (which I was).
