Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Preservation of Fish Life in Rivers by the Exclusion of Town Sewage
They die in you rich sky, They faint on hill, on field, or river Our echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow for ever and for ever. Blow, bugle blow, set the wild echoes flying, And answer, echoes answer - dying, dying, dying.

Excerpt from The Preservation of Fish Life in Rivers by the Exclusion of Town Sewage
The Hon. W. F. B. Massey Mainwaring spoke as follows:
It may occur to some present here to-day that I ought to give some reason for appearing before you to read the Paper with which my name is connected. The only excuse I can give for asking your attention for my feeble effort is, that when the Norwich Fisheries Exhibition was in embryo, I suggested that one of its classes should be devoted to exhibits for the best means of rendering our rivers and streams free from the pollution of town sewage.
A large number of scientific gentlemen, among others him whose name was, and is still, I believe, a household word among every assembly of men interested in our fisheries, I mean the lamented Frank Buckland, have held that one of the causes of the fish epidemic that is rapidly depopulating the finny tribe in our streams, had its origin in the dangerous germs produced by the putrid and excrementitious matter allowed to enter in large quantities into our rivers and streams, and I was, therefore, very anxious to prove that if there were any remedies existing, they ought to be more widely known through the medium of a public exhibition. I am well aware that I shall be met by this remark: "You are about to tell us of remedies to be applied; but first prove that our rivers and streams are in a sickly and unhealthy condition before you propose a prescription that may be entirely unnecessary; and even admitted that the waters are in this insalubrious condition, are they dangerous and antagonistic to fish life as well as human life?" Both these propositions are, I regret to say, fiercely contested.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the widespread contamination of rivers by town sewage and the problems it causes for fish populations and human health. It was written in 1883, amid a growing awareness of the unsanitary conditions created by rapidly industrializing cities, which poured untreated sewage into waterways. The text argues that sewage pollution not only decimated fish numbers but also created breeding grounds for disease, contributing to the staggeringly high mortality rates of the period. The text weighs the pros and cons of various remedies to this pressing problem, from irrigation and diversion to chemical treatment, and suggests that chemical treatment holds the most promise for cities such as London with vast quantities of sewage to dispose of. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330500064_0
