Abstract
ALTHOUGH the title of his paper, read before £\ the Royal Society of Arts on February 20, was “Water Supplies from Underground Sources”, Lieut.-Col. J. D. Restler gave it a rather wider scope by including some preliminary notice of water supplies in general. He pointed out that the problem of water supply is very different from that of the supply of gas and electricity, because gas and electricity can be manufactured for all practical purposes at any point where it is desired to do so, and electricity can be transmitted in bulk over long distances with comparative ease and relatively high efficiency, whereas in the case of water, serious engineering difficulties arise if large quantities are to be delivered over long distances. The capital cost becomes very heavy and the efficiency, due to pipe friction and other causes, is exceedingly low.
