21st Century Plumbing Submarine Robots in Water Tunnel
21st Century Plumbing The NY Times has an interesting article which looks into the water tunnel that supplies water to most of New York City; <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/12/science/12AQUE.html">21st-Century Plumbing for New York City's Leaky Old Water Tunnel </a>. This engineering marvel of the industrial era is starting to show signs of age, notably with a few growing leaks which are becoming an important issue. The article looks at 21st century robotic technology -- as used in oil-rigs or deep sea exploration -- and how it can assist the reparation of this tunnel. A very interesting read. | Alex J.
