Water supply at 'serious risk' of running out in parts of England within 20 years

"Empty words on climate commitments and unfunded public information campaigns will get us where we have got the last 20 years: nowhere.

Among other PAC recommendations is that more should be done to encourage consumers to save water, with the current approach said to be uncoordinated."Awareness of the need for water efficiency is very low compared to that of saving energy," says the committee. "But everyone has a part to play, and we urge people to be mindful of their usage and look at practical ways to save this precious resource in their daily lives."

Can more be done to fix leaks quicker and collect rainwater? We all need water to survive bestdrink water health

We hear this story year after year. Further proof the UK is over populated and Immigration needs to be cut

I know a wee country that can sell you some....

More scaremongering. Stop letting all these immigrants in then. We would then have enough water, housing, jobs etc.

Best get stocking up on bottled water

Iv been tweeting that for so time keep building thousands of houses then government will be telling us to save water It didn’t take a lot of working out Why the government couldn’t see it over 70 million inUK 37 million in Canada under 5 million in New Zealand UK overcrowded

Oh do fck off sky, if your not stirring up racial tension your trying to cast your doomsday predictions on our utilities now

MARK MY WORDS WATER IS THE NEXT CURRENCY IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE

Hmm, let's continue allowing shareholders to maximise their returns from investment up to crisis point, then the state can step in and we all pay to fix it. Might as well chuck in a few bonuses for the top dogs as well👌tory donations all round! We're being mugged off. Again.

😂😂😂 FakeNews

Rain water that seeps in to the earth, find underground channels tunnels, that’s why there are companies selling bottled water, this water is naturally cleaned, as it seeps down, all the company do is pump it out of the ground killing bacteria by oxygen and bottled, we are def ok

Load of bollox

Makes sense, we live all around water

Must be bad! Ostrich wearing a tin hat

Fix the leaks and make better distribution...Sorted...

For decades we have been living without a drinking water 💦 here in Africa especially in Nigeria, the British contraption, oil spillage it's among the contributing factors. The brits yet to be served in their own cup. BiafraExit

Never mind the sea this is Britain and it fucking pisses down with rain most days!! So wheres all the water going !! Water companies either stop giving shareholders a wad of money and invest in repairs and keeping water to a safe level or hand it all back by nationalisation!

3 scientists found that a slug, can slide over a Stanley blade and not cut itself. Do you know what's that called? They got nothing better to do! Just like

So there are 19 years to fix the problem.

If only it rained 🤔

water big problem...

They even build wells in hot barren African nations

Yea, I've been hearing this crap for nearly half a century Population keeps going up Water never seems to run out

What a load of fake news. Never heard of rain in UK before or the fact we are an island surrounded by the stuff that can easily be filtered. I have a friend with a huge house and gardens all watered from a deep well dug down to the water table that starts 10ft down

As long as we have weather forecasters saying we are in for a dry spell. We will have plenty of water .

Oh dam

Water? - White people are at 'serious risk' of running out in England in 20 years.... PatrioticAlternative

its england its raining everyday mate wont run out of water any time soon

because Tories privatised it. Water companies prioritise shareholder profits before anything else. If people don't want this, shoulda voted Corbyn. Nationalising water was in the 2019 Labour manifesto. We've lost the chance now. Get used to less water.

Another scare mongering story we need right now ...

Has it been a slow news day by any chance? 🤷‍♀️

Stfu, we, have nowt but rain 🙆‍♂️

Watch the Tories do nothing about this then the media call Labour communists for wanting to fix it.

Population growth is the biggest threat to adequate water supply.

You’re saying it like it will be a failure on water’s behalf, not a failure by us to plan not to let it happen. If we just keep sucking water like Africa, USA & Russia without considering how it’s retained or replaced, yes we’ll have a problem.

Can't we ask those folk paddling into Dover everyday on dinghies to collect up some water for us, on the way?

Time to stop mass immigration then because we're only a small island. Four times smaller than the US state of Texas, to put it in perspective. It's inevitable that we're going to run out of natural resources eventually unless we change tack on immigration and fast.

You are worrying about things in 20 years time when we can barely survive 2020

Not now - 3 crises’ at a time.

Nonsense

Oh do shut up you lot. Ffs.

Just give it a LITTLE TAP

Government will have an App for that.

If only it rained sometimes

But the UK has loads of free room apparently 🤔

Uh huh. Sure.

Evian reveals a water bottle without labels made from recycled plasticThe bottle has been almost two years in the making, according to the firm, who say the bottle will be 400ml and feature an 'Evian pink' cap instead of light blue. One step further into environmentalism which is welcomed, all water bottle companies should follow suit. Although eventually we should move to completely ridding ourselves of plastic bottles entirely. I rarely have to buy a plastic bottle. I use my carry bottle instead It doesn't matter how green their bottles are, selling bottled water will never be green. Help the environment, try the tap, there’s a lot of them about
