| Summary | "ASCE 1193: The Water-Works and Sewerage of Monterrey, N. L., Mexico" by George Robert Graham Conway is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This technical document details the water supply and sewerage systems developed for Monterrey, highlighting the geological, hydrological, and logistical challenges faced in designing and constructing these infrastructures. The opening of the work introduces Monterrey's historical context, describing its geographical position and growth as an industrial city, while outlining the government concession granted for the development of its water and sanitation systems. It provides insights into the preliminary investigations carried out to assess local water sources, detailing relevant geological conditions and undertaking statistical assessments on rainfall, population growth, and mortality rates influenced by access to clean water. This foundational information sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the engineering principles and practices utilized in establishing a reliable water and drainage system for the burgeoning city, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure in public health and urban development.
