Water Resources Board
From Graces Guide
The Water Resources Board was established on 1 July 1964. Its duty was to advise river authorities and central government on the development of water resources in England and Wales. The Board had a staff of 160, principally engineers. It devised schemes, such as one for a water grid in north east England which might also supply Sheffield and Chesterfield. The Board did not have a remit on water quality.
1973 The Board was disbanded under the terms of the Water Act 1973. This dissolved the 29 River Authorities and created ten Water Authorities with much broader terms of reference
