They found that flooding caused by poor maintenance and semi-derelict weirs was a significant problem, and that both urban sewage and waste from paper mills and tanneries was further damaging the river. They strongly recommended the creation of a single body to manage the upper Thames, and various improvements and prohibitions to go alongside it. This was done under the 1866 Thames Navigation Act, which added the upper Thames to the existing responsibilities of the Thames Conservancy.Rawlinson had a long and distinguished career as an engineer and hygenist, including being part of the Sanitary Commission sent to address the appalling death rates from disease among troops serving in the Crimean War. He was also one of the first Inspectors appointed under the 1848 Public Health Act.…
