The Water Getters tells how a settlement was chosen for its proximity to water, how its people searched for new sources, and how they expanded their reach to distant regions in order to water a city. This intriguing collection of stories, interwoven with previously unpublished facts, maps and memories, is also the story of mountain springs, alpine lakes and a grand river. The Water-getters unveils the great dreams, plans and labours of our state and civil leaders, and of our humble workmen. Good and bad, visionary or self-serving, these people leap off the pages in the unfolding dramas that accompanied each step forward. This is a book for those who enjoy history, are fascinated by engineering or who, quite simply, love water.
