    aedings of osium on Engineering and the Environment: Harmony or Conflict? The Institution of Water Engineers and Scientists SYMPOSIUM ON ENGINEERING AND THE ENVIRONMENT: HARMONY OR CONFLICT? i PROCEEDINGS OF SYMPOSIUM HELD IN . LONDON, ENGLAND, on 6th and 7th DECEMBER 1978 ANY CORRESPONDENCE relating to the papers appearing in this publication should be addressed to the Secretary, The Institution of Water Engineers and Scientists, 6-8 Sackville Street, London W1X 1DD, England. (Telphone: 01-734 5422.) © Copyright reserved by The Institution of Water Engineers and Scientists. The Institution is not responsible as a body for the opinions advanced in any of the papers comprising this symposium. The comments made by the authors and by the contributors to the discussions on the papers are the personal comments of the individuals, and do not necessarily reflect the views of their employing authorities. PREFACE The general theme of this Symposium is the environmental and sociological implications of major engineering works and how these influence the promotion, design, construction, and operation of such works. Within this theme an attempt is made to identify the role which is or should be played by the water services industry and to illustrate this by examples from overseas and the United Kingdom. Thereafter, an attempt is made to examine the way ahead. Problems and public concern relating to pollution of the environment are not new and it could be said that the water industry has a long history of concern for the environment. Be that as it may there have been rapid and dramatic changes in our life style in recent years and the public generally now have a greater awareness and interest in the impact of change and development on the environment which is resulting from the increasingly complex society in which we live.

    Rationalising the Main River Network (RMRN): Suffolk De-maining Project - Consultation Response Document We are the Environment Agency. We protect and improve the environment. We help people and wildlife adapt to climate change and reduce its impacts, including flooding, drought, sea level rise and coastal erosion. We improve the quality of our water, land and air by tackling pollution. We work with businesses to help them comply with environmental regulations. A healthy and diverse environment enhances people's lives and contributes to economic growth. We can’t do this alone. We work as part of the Defra group (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), with the rest of government, local councils, businesses, civil society groups and local communities to create a better place for people and wildlife.

We are a national organisation and our focus is on managing watercourses where the flood risk is greatest to people and property, therefore in some locations we are not best placed to lead and manage flood risk.

It follows a deep, fault-guided, glacial valley and contains significant flood plain and estuary areas. The upper (southern-most) section has a strong sense of containment by rising land, especially from the steep wooded slopes of Snowdonia to the west, from which a number of small rivers issue down tumbling gorges.

    Myth and Mystery This land has inspired storytellers for thousands of years. Legendary tales, passed down by word of mouth from our ancient ancestors have added to the sense of magic and mystery that we feel about this place. It’s for you to decide where fact ends and fiction begins. The Stories 3 Arthur and his Knights Awaiting the Call 13 The Story of the Twrch Trwyth 27 The Lady of the Lake & The Physicians of Myddfai 2 Arthur and Awaiting the his Knights Call Arthur and his Knights Awaiting the Call 3 Some say the golden age of chivalry ended with the passing of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. But for others they are only sleeping, concealed in a special place, ready for the call to arms when our country’s need is greatest. 4 Legend has it that the special hiding place is Craig y Ddinas (Dinas Rock) at Pontneddfechan. 5 A Welshman in London was once challenged by a wise man to lead him to the place from whence had come his hazel walking stick. They returned to Wales and mighty Craig y Ddinas. The wise man found a particular rock, which together they lifted, uncovering the entrance to a great cavern. In the musty dark was a host of sleeping warriors, King Arthur with his Knights, awaiting the call that would be sounded by a bell inside the cave’s entrance. 6 At the clang of that bell they would rise up to repulse our enemies and establish the crown in Caerleon once again.
