§ Major HILLSasked the Minister of Health whether the inland water survey which he is instituting will deal with water in all aspects; and whether, for instance, prevention of flooding will be included as well as water supply, since these are two sides of the same problem?
§ Mr. SHAKESPEAREThe object of the survey is to collect and to correlate reliable records of available water supplies, particularly of river flows, including flood flows, and of underground water levels. The information for the survey will be obtained from catchment boards, who are primarily responsible in England and Wales for flood prevention, and other qualified bodies and persons, as well as from water undertakers. The survey will be of value to those concerned with all aspects of inland water administration.
