Summer rainfall in England is expected to decline roughly 15 per cent by the 2050s. To maintain enough water supply, the UK needs to invest in major infrastructure such as new reservoirs and desalination plants

Climate change and a growing population mean England needs long-term solutions like new reservoirs and desalination plants, not just short-term fixes like hosepipe bans.

Nah. No investment wanted. The shareholders would just rather keep all the money, thank you.
