"Water Pollution—Wells" by Irving A. Watson is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the critical issue of water pollution, specifically focusing on the contamination of wells and its implications for public health. The book is aimed at raising awareness about the dangers posed by polluted water supplies and emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between water quality and health outcomes. In this publication, Watson discusses the various sources and causes of well pollution, illustrating how improper waste management and proximity to contaminants can lead to serious health risks, including diseases such as typhoid fever and dysentery. He presents alarming statistics about the contamination of well water, suggesting that over ninety-five percent of samples tested showed pollution. Through case studies and detailed analysis, Watson demonstrates the far-reaching consequences of water pollution, urging medical professionals to investigate and educate the public on this vital issue. Ultimately, the book serves as a call to action for better sanitary practices to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
