Abstract
FRESHWATERS are put to many different uses. Primarily they are the source of domestic water-supplies, including the huge amount of water required for sanitary purposes. Fresh water is, further, employed in enormous quantities in most, if not all, manufacturing processes. Flowing water is increasingly used as a source of power, while many British waterways serve as a means of communication. An appreciable section of the population, moreover, find relaxation in freshwater fisheries, while many a lake or stream is the centre-point of a beauty spot.
