Book Description
Excerpt from The Waterworks of London: Together With a Series of Articles on Various Other Waterworks The river, or artificial channel, is of varying width and depth, at places 28 ft. Wide, while in many parts it is hardly half that width. The river, indeed, so far as we can learn, has never been accurately described, the officers of the company having, we believe, always re fused particulars of their works for publication. At any rate, they have repeatedly declined to contribute a paper upon them to the Institution of Civil Engineers, and, beyond a few details scattered in various tracts and reports, the library of that body has absolutely no account of this, the principal undertaking for the supply of water to London. A popular account, with statistical details of the reservoirs, &c., appeared a few years since in a weekly paper; and Mr. Burnell, in his Visits to the London Waterworks, published ten years ago, in the Journal of Gas Lighting, gave a few particulars not to be found elsewhere; but, imperfect as it is, our own account will be found by far the most complete of any yet published of the New River works. Mr. Smiles obtained some little information from the engineer to the company for his Life of Sir Hugh Myddelton, but he gives the delivery of water by the New River as equal to 42 square feet of section at two miles an hour, equal, as will be seen by calculation, to 7392 cubic feet per minute, which is much more than twice its present total flow. In describing the works of the other companies, we shall, with a single exception (and this is not a Thames company), have the advantage of the kind cc-operation of their engineers, and shall be able to give draw mgs of some of the engines, and various plans of value to the pro fession.
