520    "Turn on the faucet, and water pours out. Pull out the 
       drain plug, and the dirty water disappears. Most of us 
       give little thought to the hidden systems that bring us 
       water and take it away when we're done with it. But these 
       underappreciated marvels of engineering face an array of 
       challenges that cannot be solved without a fundamental 
       change to our relationship with water, David Sedlak 
       explains in this enlightening book. To make informed 
       decisions about the future, we need to understand the 
       three revolutions in urban water systems that have 
       occurred over the past 2,500 years and the technologies 
       that will remake the system. The author starts by 
       describing Water 1.0, the early Roman aqueducts, fountains,
       and sewers that made dense urban living feasible. He then 
       details the development of drinking water and sewage 
       treatment systems--the second and third revolutions in 
       urban water. He offers an insider's look at current 
       systems that rely on reservoirs, underground pipe networks,
       treatment plants, and storm sewers to provide water that 
       is safe to drink, before addressing how these water 
       systems will have to be reinvented. For everyone who cares
       about reliable, clean, abundant water, this book is 
       essential reading"--|cProvided by publisher.
