Abstract
THE joint committee of Lords and Commons, appointed to consider and report on measures for the better conservation and organisation of water resources and supplies in England and Wales, held an inquiry during the month of July last, and completed it for the time being. The evidence given before the committee with a report of the proceedings, after being tabled in the Houses of Parliament, has been published. The findings of the committee are set out in six resolutions, the first of which, affirming that the aggregate available supply of water is ample for all anticipated requirements of the country is, at least, reassuring, and should dispel whatever doubts (if any) have been entertained on this score; though it is little satisfaction to those who have experienced the serious inconveniences of the recent drought to know that, while locally there has been scarcity and restriction, elsewhere supplies have been plentiful and even running to waste.
