“…The sands still remained important for distributing groundwater around the basin. Dewatering continued to such an extent that the water level fell below the top of the Chalk in the northern and central parts of the London Basin and water levels declined by up to 75 m (Downing et al, 1972;Jones et al, 2000;Preene and Roberts, 2002;Ellison et al, 2004;Harris et al, 2005;Jones et al, 2005).…”

“…The Water Act of 1945 caused groundwater abstraction to be controlled by a licensing system, which meant abstraction has declined and the water level has subsequently risen. In most places within the London Basin the Palaeogene strata are water-bearing and mostly fully saturated (Downing et al, 1972;Jones et al, 2000;Preene and Roberts, 2002;Ellison et al, 2004). This caused additional problems, as much of London's underground infrastructure was developed during the period of declining water levels (Jones et al, 2005) Artificial recharge, the process of adding treated mains water into aquifers for storage and later use, has been trialled in the London area as early as 1890.…”

The Survey publishes an annual catalogue of its maps and other publications; this catalogue is available from any of the BGS Sales Desks. The British Geological Survey carries out the geological survey of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the latter as an agency service for the government of Northern Ireland), and of the surrounding continental shelf, as well as its basic research projects. It also undertakes programmes of British technical aid in geology in developing countries as arranged by the Department for International Development and other agencies. The British Geological Survey is a component body of the Natural Environment Research Council.
