Abstract
THE Water Supply Conference of the Society of Arts, held at the National Health Exhibition, in the unavoidable absence of the President, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, was opened by Sir Frederick Abel, C.B., F.R.S., chairman of the Council, who alluded in his introductory address, to these Congresses having been originated by His Royal Highness, who hoped a comprehensive scheme might be elaborated that would provide not only for the urban populations, but for the rural communities. He alluded to the good and useful work done by the Congress held in 1878, and in 1879, and reviewed the present position of the water-question in this country.
