Abstract
THE first report of the Central Advisory Water JL Committee, just issued from the Ministry of Health (HJVL Stationery Office, 6d. net), summarizes the conclusions arrived at by the Committee on a number of suggestions submitted to it for new legislation to facilitate the conservation and supply of water and the co-ordination of water interests. The most urgent of these questions, in the Committee's opinion, were proposals for (a) the control and conservation of needed underground water resources and the protection of underground water from pollution; (b) the planning of water resources and supplies; and (c) the modernization of the existing law relating to the supply of water by local authorities and water companies.
