História biográfica
In 1974 the Thames Water Authority was given full control of the river's waters, with authority over three other bodies: the Metropolitan Water Board, the Thames Conservancy and the Port of London Authority. Responsiblities included land drainage, flood defence, regulation of water resources, care for river and groundwater quality, supervision of fisheries, navigation, conservation and recreation.
The London County Council (1888-1965) appointed a Chief Engineer and County Surveyor who was responsible for overseeing construction and maintenance of LCC buildings, bridges, roads and tunnels. He was also responsible for flood prevention measures, drainage and sewerage and other matters of public health.
The Greater London Council (1965-1986) had overall responsibility at a strategic level for local government in the Greater London area. The Council was responsible for a number of services which were considered best dealt with on a London-wide basis, rather than managed individually by each borough. These included refuse disposal, Thames flood prevention, land drainage, the fire service, supply service for local authorities, and research, intelligence and scientific services.
