The Doncaster Area Drainage Acts 1929 and 1933 impose obligations on mine owners to construct and maintain, and provide funds for the construction and maintenance of, drainage works. The Acts provide for the transfer of the works and funds to the National Rivers Authority (which exercises the functions of the former Ouse and Trent Catchment Boards) in the event of a mine permanently ceasing to be worked.
