Cathodic protection of underground pipelines is not new in Europe, having been a recognized technology for many years in natural‐gas and petroleum high‐pressure lines. Now underground water pipelines are so protected, and a study of the procedure is presented. The first portion of this article contains background‐development information. The last half contains definitive design information applicable to water pipes.
