Land drainage and flood defence responsibilities : a practical guide

The first edition of this guide was published in 1983 and has established itself as a popular addition to the shelves of both civil engineers and professionals from a range of disciplines, who are concerned with the practice of land drainage and, unavoidably, the legal implications of drainage operations. This new edition has been substantially revised and updated to incorporate the following major developments: The Environment Act 1995; The Land Drainage Act 1994; The Conservation (Natural Habitats etc) Regulations 1994; The Coal Industry Act 1994; The Local Government Act 1992 and the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994; and, Town and country planning law
