Despite the growing improvement in water treatment methods many re-
gions of the world cannot cope with the rapid rate of water contamination. The
highly industrialized countries naturally suffer more than others. Certainly the
conditions which existed only a century ago cannot be restored in present or fu-
ture large cities. But we badly need to find new ways of using the water in in-
dustry and agriculture and of radically improving the technology of drainage
purification.
International standard of swimming bath
A new indoor swimming-pool of international standard with facilities for
champions and children, has been built.
Extensive research was carried out before the design of the building and
many of the best features of swimming-pools at home and on the continent have
been incorporated in the new pool.
Up to six hundred bathers will be able to use the L-shaped swimming-
pool at one time and the spectators' gallery equipped with tip-up seats, can ac-
commodate five hundred.
Glass is used extensively in the new building to give bathers a fine view
of the park and an impression of being in the open air. A sunbathing terrace
overlooking the lake in the park is also available for the bathers.
The main pool is 110 ft long and 42 ft wide and the depth varies from 3 ft
3 in to 6 ft. The short leg of the "L" forms a 12 ft 6 in deep diving pool, 33 ft by
44 ft, and has one metre and three metre springboards and a five metre firm
board. The diving bay allows the bathers to use the full length of the main pool
even while diving is in progress.
A separate learners' pool, 41 ft 3 in by 24 ft with a depth of from 2 ft 6
in to 3 ft, with "walk-in" steps at one end is provided in the angle formed by
the main pool and diving bay. A walkway runs the entire length of the pool on
one side to bring the instructor down to the level of the pool.
A refreshment block with two floors has a kiosk on the ground floor to
serve the sunbathing terrace and the park. On the first floor is a 72 seat res-
taurant and snack bar, which is also open to visitors to the park, and a Baths
Superintendent's two-bedroomed flat. Both swimming-pools are heated and a
water treatment plant gives a four-hour turnover to the main pool and a
