A Water Distribution System for Cold Regions: The Single Main Recirculation Method: An Historical Review, Field Evaluation, and Suggested Design Procedures

摘要

Students and residents of the Arctic are familiar with the manyud-- problems peculiar to the geographical area. This monograph will considerud-- an adequate, safe, and reliable water distribution system. Water supply,ud-- together with housing, transportation, and waste disposal, are demandedud-- when a remote area becomes established as a permanent settlement.ud-- As long as the population of the North was widely distributed inud-- small mining camps, villages, and individual cabins, water distributionud-- systems were not necessary, as shallow wells and nearby streams adequatelyud-- served most needs. With the rapidly increasing settlement of the vastud-- lands of the North, the population is being centered in communities ratherud-- than distributed over large areas. The world population explosion willud-- undoubtedly contribute to increasing immigration into Arctic and sub-Arcticud-- areas. These changes have already created a need for modern water distributionud-- systems, a need which will become more critical with time.
