Synopsis

This report details a comprehensive investigation into securing an additional water supply for a major metropolitan area from the Catskill Mountain region. Authored by William Hubert Burr, Rudolph Hering, and John Ripley Freeman, the study meticulously examines the feasibility, engineering requirements, and logistical considerations involved in such a large-scale project.

The work offers valuable insights into the challenges and solutions associated with urban water management in the early 20th century, providing a historical perspective on infrastructure development and resource management. The report is an essential resource for engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the development of New York City's water system and the engineering feats required to bring fresh water from distant sources.
