Abstract
: Popular demand for reservoir safety legislation arose in the middle of the nineteenth century as a result of two dam failures which caused major loss of life. Factors that led to the long delay in introducing legislation and significant influences on the form taken by the reservoir safety legislation enacted in 1930 and 1975 are identified.
