Mansergh: With due respect to my esteemed fellow Senator from County Tipperary, I hope it will be possible to have a reasoned debate on the Bill.
Mansergh: Reference was made by one of the Senators opposite to this being a farce, it is certainly a farce to enter into this type of discussion in relation to section 1, the agreeing of which, regardless of whether one likes what is contained in the Bill, should be a formality.
Mansergh: If we spend this amount of time discussing the section, we will certainly have plenty of time to absorb the report before we reach the sections to which it refers.

 Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust - Projects - Historic Landscapes - Elan Valley - The Elan Valley Reservoir Scheme
Nothing further was done for twenty years until 1890 when James Mansergh, the most distinguished water engineer of the day, was appointed as consultant engineer for the project.
Mansergh had become familiar with the Elan and Claerwen valleys when working on the Mid-Wales railway in the 1860s.
Mansergh’s intentions are quite clear, stating that ‘when more than full water will overflow from all the reservoirs in picturesque cascades down the faces of the dams’, Caban-coch dam being calculated in times of maximum flood to form ‘probably the finest waterfall in this country’.

Mansergh was a brilliant engineer, and it was a wise choice which resulted in the construction of the impressive and beautiful structures that can be seen today.

James Mansergh's detailed report on the area upon which the huge project was based included an impressive scale relief model of the watershed of the rivers Elan and Claerwen which he had built with the help of his son.
The model is of particular interest in that it included the three dams originally proposed for the Claerwen Valley, seen extending to the left.
Roads like this one which followed the course of the river along the floor of the valley were later replaced by new roads and railway tracks cut into the valley sides above the top water level of the reservoirs, and access roads were also built along the top of two of the new dams.

 From Lake Vyrnwy to Ty Nant: selling Welsh water, 1880-2000.
The cartoon opposite depicts the ‘purest and cheapest’ well water, next to James Mansergh, the borough’s consulting engineer, who’s grand scheme it was to spend £8 million on a long-distance scheme which, because of the softness and consequent plumbsolvency of the water, might inflict lead poisoning on the innocent citizens of Birmingham.
Water engineers, such as Robert Rawlinson in Swansea, James Mansergh in Birmingham, and George Deacon, the promoter of Liverpool and Birkenhead’s waterworks in Vyrnwy and Alwen respectively, often played a key role in the public debate.
Deacon’s reports on Vyrnwy, which were widely-quoted in the press, stressed the ancient geology of the Vyrnwy valley, emphasised its remoteness from the pollution of the city, and painted a romantic picture of the culture and landscape of the area.
