This is the first book to cover the British people's late twentieth
century engagement with water in all its domestic, national and
international forms, and from bathing and household chores to
controversies about maritime pollution. The British Isles, a
relatively wet and rainy archipelago, cannot in any way be said to
be short of liquid resources. Even so, it was the site of highly
contentious and revealing political controversies over the meaning
and use of water after the Second World War. A series of such
issues divided political parties, pressure groups, government and
voters, and form the subject matter of this book: problems as
diverse as flood defence to river and beach cleanliness, from the
teaching of swimming to the installation of hot and cold running
water in the home, from international controls over maritime
pollution, and from the different housework duties of men and women
to the British state's proposals to fluoridise the drinking water
supply.
