William Davidson (engineer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | William Davidson (engineer)
William Davidson (1844–1920), was an Australian civil engineer, who headed the Melbourne Water Supply department, and was responsible for important improvements to Melbourne's water supply system during sustained periods of drought. ==Early life==
Davidson was born on 6 December 1844 at Moy, County Tyrone, Ireland. His father, John Davidson, was an architect, and his mother was Eliza, née McCudden. Davidson was educated at the local National school, until age 13 and then worked as a clerk in Belfast. In 1859 he worked his passage to Melbourne, Australia, and then on to Ballarat, where he sought out his uncle, mining surveyor Robert Davidson, whom he assisted in survey work as chainman. Davidson obtained his surveyor's certificate in 1864, and then spent some years surveying farm selections, mines and roads in north-west Victoria and Gippsland.
