Details

""Catskill Water Supply: A General Description"" offers a detailed look into the monumental engineering project that brought fresh water to New York City.

It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and the importance of infrastructure in supporting urban life. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of New York City, civil engineering, or the management of natural resources.
