Abstract
IN the application of exact meteorological observations to practical life, the utilisation of rainfall records by the waterworks engineer takes a foremost place. Rainfall is moreover among the most important of the natural resources of a country, and it is fitting that Sir Alexander Binnie should put together the results of his wide experience in a book which will impress the townsman with this fact in its more direct association with his daily life, in addition to giving to the engineer a survey of the problem with which he is faced, and of the methods of dealing with it.
Rainfall Reservoirs and Water Supply.
