Without the nineteen upstate reservoirs that supply its water, New York City as we know it would not exist today. "[Sante] is an endlessly curious writer with a sharp wit and an elegant prose style . . . As a physical object, the book is a stunner, loaded with maps, archival stills of the construction process, vintage postcards, and ads warning New Yorkers to check their plumbing and 'stop that leak!'" --The Wall Street Journal
