Abstract

This chapter is concerned with the supply, storage, purification and distribution of water. It is appreciated that the water supply functions of many local authorities have been transferred to separate Water Boards, but the author felt as it was a subject of such vital importance and with such far-reaching effects on local government activities that it ought not to be omitted from this book.
