  Nineteen Reservoirs - On Their...

  Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. 
   
   
   
  From 1907 to 1967, a network of reservoirs and aqueducts was built across more than one million acres in upstate New York, including Greene, Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster Counties. This feat of engineering served to meet New York City's ever-increasing need for water, sustaining its inhabitants and cementing it as a center of industry. West of the Hudson, it meant that twenty-six villages, with their farms, forest lands, orchards, and quarries, were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, and submerged, profoundly altering ecosystems in ways we will never fully appreciate. 
   
   
   
  This paradox of victory and loss is at the heart of Nineteen Reservoirs, Lucy Sante's meticulous account of how New York City secured its seemingly limitless fresh water supply, and why it cannot be taken for granted. In inimitable form, Sante plumbs the historical record to surface forgotten archives and images, bringing lost places back to life on the page. Her immaculately calibrated sensitivity honors both perspectives on New York City's reservoir system and helps us understand the full import of its creation.

  Fluid Dynamics - Principles and...

  Fluid dynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the behavior of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. It is a fundamental subject in engineering, physics, and applied sciences, playing a crucial role in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, energy, and environmental studies. Understanding how fluids move and interact with their surroundings helps engineers and scientists design efficient systems, predict natural phenomena, and develop innovative technologies. 
  At its core, fluid dynamics is governed by a set of fundamental principles derived from classical mechanics and thermodynamics. These include the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. The governing equations, such as the Navier-Stokes equations, describe the motion of fluids by relating forces, pressure, velocity, and viscosity. The study of fluid dynamics is essential for solving real-world problems, from designing aircraft wings and optimizing fuel injection systems to predicting weather patterns and ocean currents. 
  Fluids can exhibit different types of motion depending on external forces, constraints, and their physical properties. A key distinction in fluid dynamics is between laminar flow and turbulent flow. Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, orderly fluid layers, whereas turbulent flow is chaotic and involves complex mixing and vortices. The Reynolds number, a dimensionless quantity, helps determine whether a flow will be laminar or turbulent based on factors like velocity, viscosity, and characteristic length.
