The water shortages we currently have were predicted years ago and little has been done to approach the issue…. mend a few pipes here and solve some leaks there. Job done.
There has been no joined up thinking by water companies, councils, government and other stakeholders to improve the current infrastructure for many many years.
In fact a spokesperson on the news tonight was complaining that some of the water pipes had been installed 100 years ago and so it wasn’t his companies fault that they were leaking!!!
