This is welcome but reservoirs will only sort 1/3 of future demand Government must also seize control of/ fast-track water efficiency and rainwater harvesting Labelling water consumption of products/ fittings and improving building regulations water standards are long overdue.

If reservoirs alone or tackling leakage won't save us from water scarcity & with flood risk on the rise, we need an overarching National Rainwater Strategy to inform water management in developments. Rainwater reuse + SuDS The benefits would be big. More: ewsc.org.uk/project-report…

Drought declarations are spreading. None yet in the south because of different balance of water resources means entry into public water supply drought is slower, but that masks impacts on agriculture and river flows. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
