Bringing clean water to a growing Mexican city was an engineering feat. This report details the water-works and sewerage of Monterrey: its geology and rainfall, the sources tapped, the reservoirs built, and the concession behind it all. A precise record of a city learning to plumb itself. Trace how Monterrey secured its supply.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
