Abstract

Britain, a nation with the most organized water system in the world, suffered a protracted drought in 1975–1976. This paper casts doubt on the assumption that its causes were natural, especially in rural areas, and presents some general principles regarding the process of responding to water supply problems. The past and present water situation of Britain is described, and an account of the course of the drought and responses to it is presented.
