520    This book charts the history of the water catchments and 
       water supply for the city of Melbourne, which has many 
       unique aspects that are a critical part of the history of 
       Melbourne, Victoria and Australia. Much of the development
       of the water supply system was many decades ahead of its 
       time and helped buffer the city of Melbourne from major 
       diseases, droughts and water shortages. The authors 
       present a chronology of the evolution of the catchment and
       water supply system pre-1900 to today. They discuss major 
       developments, policies, and construction and management 
       activities. Each chapter is illust.
