A PAPER READ BEFORE THE MEDICAL SOCIETY —HUGE FILTERS TO BEBUILT AT THE UPPER RESERVOIR—AERATION AND FILTRATION TO MAKE THE DRINKIN@ WATER CLEAR. Ata recent meeting of the Medical society of the District, Capt. Thomas W. Symons, the en- gineer officer of the Aqueduct, delivered by invitation an Interesting address on the sub- Ject of filtration of the Potomac water. Within avery short time after he became connected with the water works of the city he was, he said, made aware of the existence of a feeling of dissatisfaction with the water. By domestic filtration clearer water is secured for the rich and well-to-do, while the poor have to take it, impurities and all, Domestic filtration is but a partial remedy, and frequently through neglect, flters become accumulations of ith and. breeders of disease and death. From. personal investigations and | the opinions of others, it was not possible to | arrive at any other ‘conclusion than that the | water supply of the city ts unsatisinetory, He therefore undertook an investigation into the whole question, ‘THE POTOMAC. He found that the Potomac is probably as clear and good a river as any other of equal | magnitude flowing to the Atlantic sea board. | The sewerage from many small cities and towns on the upper Potomac, which are rapidly inereasing in size, mostly finds its way in some form or other to the river. ‘The use of fertilizers must increase with time, while the cutting away of the forests brings about, climatic changes, which allow injurious organic matter scattered about the land to be much more readily washed inuhe running streams and to find its way to the source of our water sup- ply. The floods also gather larger amounts than formerly of the inorganic matter of the soils throug which the waters flow. As @ source of water supply the Potomac must, from the very nature of things, detertorate with the advance of years and civilization, We, there- fore, sooner or later, must come tothe necessity of adopting some ‘means for rendering the water purer and more wholesome, and guard- Ingit against epidemical pollution. “Many of the large cities Of Europe are now provided with filtering works of great magnitude and cost, and medical @nd sanitary history record tho marked benefft derived by the people. THREE METHODS OF FILTERING. There are three methods which, either singly or in combination with each other, have been adopted—subsidence in large reservoirs; natural infiltration into galleries builtalong the margin, or in or under the river, and straining through artificially-prepared flier beds. Our two reservoirs have a marked influence on the quality of the water, but they are by no means eificient, The upper or receiving reser- Yolk was designed principally as a subsiding reservoir, but it is in its present condition ot scarcely any use in this direction. Clarification by subsidence requires the water to remain in @ quiescent state for many weeks, and_ this, under our southern sun, would generate and stimulate the growth of various forms ot aquatic lite, The unpleasant odor of the water just summer which created such apprehension was due to this cause, {laritication by filtration consists in taking advantage of a natural depositof sand or gravel and uslug it as a filter. This system is not applicable to our own case, since the upper Potomac ts a stream with rocky bed and banks, | and any bottom land along its borders is gen: | erally ofa compact, clayey nature. ‘The third system’ot arificially prepared filter- beds has met with very general adoption. ‘These beds are usually large water-tight basins, With masony walls and bottoms of conerete of puddied Upon the bottoms of these basins are placed drains, radiating to ali points, Around and above these drains is a layer of about two Jeet of broken stone, throug which ‘he Water readily flows to the collecting drains, Over thls is a layer of coarse gravel, then of tine gravel, and then the true filter or layer of from one t0 four feet of fine sand. The unfi keplata depth of several feet, and is filtered in its passage downward to the’ porous layers and arterial drains below. By means of these and other drains the clarified water is conveyed tou clear-water basin, ‘The area of the filter-beds which would be re- quired tor the city of Washington would be about twelve acres, It is a very costly system for first construc- | tlon and subsequent maintainance. Filter-beds | for Washington to tilter daily torty million gallons would cost fully a million doiiars, aud the yearly cost of maintainance would be about $40,000.

It is proposed to use fourteen filters, each ,and Liver Sv; | thirty feet in diameter and seventeen feet high, ‘A lambia, abd at the written request of the party secured thereunder, the built ofsteel. Each filter is divided by a steel diaphragm into two parts, the lower one 8’ 10” high, being entirely enclosed, and capable ot sustaining all the hydrostatic pressure which is required in the operation of filtering. The upper compartment is 8’ 2” high, and is open to the alrat top. in the lower compartment is the filtering material, and. here the operation of filtering is curried on. The upper compari- ment is used for washing and cleansing the til- tering material, which is all transferred to it ia reuts, The water to be filtered is led into the upper part of tke lower compartment by pipes distribute it at various points of the rea. The ‘pressure then forces ing material to the outlet system at the bottom where it is collected in pipes, which gradually enlarge and join until the main outlet pipe is reached. The opeiation of filtering is carried on uninierruptedly until it is desired to wash the filters. ‘This is accomplished by opening | and closing certain valves, aud thus changing | the direction of the current and forcing the water inw the filter through the outlet system at the bottom. “While this pressure is on valves are opened at the upper end of the ver~ tical pipes, Which extend from the top of the upper compartment through the diaphragm to hear the bottom of the lower compartment. The pressure creates Strong currents m these vertical pipes, casTing the filtering material up and discharging it into the upper compart- ment in combination with water and in a stale of violent agitation, Into this upper com- partment the heavy filtering materials, sand and coke, settle, aud the water bearing the suspended and ‘accumulated impuriuies tow: off in the waste eipe provided for the purpose. When all the filtering material is thus pumped out from the lower to the = (ae compartment: and washed it is replaced in its proper position by stopping the inflow of water and opening valves in the diaphragm.
