Originally published in 1987, this volume examines the ideals and
realities of river use in 19th Century Britain and the failure of
legal and technological remedies for river pollution. It deals with
the involvement of scientists, particularly chemists, in pollution
inquiries and considers the effects on the normal workings of the
scientific community of scientists' participation in the adversary
forums in which water and sewage policy was made. It discusses 19th
ideas of decomposition, disease causation and purification and
examines the gap between the abilities of science and the needs of
society that developed as the existence of water-borne disease
became increasingly clear. It also deals with the politicization of
water bacteriology and the emergence of a technology of biological
sewage treatment from a political context.
