In 1978, when this book was first published, the provision of water
services was a fundamental environmental issue. In England and
Wales, organizations were created to protect and enhance the
nation's water resources. This book considers the problems involved
in achieving those objectives and attempts to assess the potential
of the organizational arrangements to assist. Each type of water
management problem is presented in the context of an actual
example. The conflicts inherent in the need for surface reservoirs
are discussed using the Lake District as an example. The Severn
Trent river system is used as the basis for an examination of flood
damage reduction. The Mersey and Trent river systems are used
similarly when effluent disposal and river quality are discussed.
Amongst other questions covered are spray irrigation and the
control of groundwater resources. A final chapter deals with
national aspects of water management including the proposal in 1973
for a 'national water grid'. This is a book for those seriously
concerned with water management both in the United Kingdom and
elsewhere.
