CONT

The Post World War II Era : The Beginning of Regionalization. During the height of the Battle of Britain, a Central Advisory Water Committee was created to address the inadequacy of the capabilities of many small water systems to maintain service, especially in fighting fires resulting from the bombing. The committee initiated the Water Act of 1945, which called on the government to promote the "regrouping" of water supply services. Large water systems were to take over service to smaller communities in their vicinity, and in the absence of a large system, the small systems were to establish regional systems.

OBS

England has chosen a different [water management] system than France, but still using the hydrographic unit .... Similar to France, Parliament created a central advisory water committee, which recommended a major reorganization of the structure of water management. This led to the Water Act of 1973 which legislated integrated, water management in a catchment basin scheme.
