Climate change threatens UK with fresh water shortage within 25 years.

Already, the vital resource is falling short of demand. More than a quarter of groundwater sources and 18 percent of surface water sources were extracted beyond a sustainable level in 2017, the agency reported.Britons use an average of 37 gallons of water per person daily. Bevan said that far exceeds the amount used in communities in Denmark, where the average is only 21 gallons.

Moreover, old infrastructure is contributing to water waste. Nearly 800 million gallons of water — enough to support 20 million people — are lost daily through leakages, the agency has reported. A system of water sharing could have regions with stable supplies relieve other areas of the country facing shortages, such as the southeast where the highest concentration of people live, he said.would increase the supply of fresh water, he said. Repairing old systems to scale back just half of the current leakages would also make a significant difference.

More propaganda fear mongering

Remember, AIC said we won’t be here‼️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

California is no longer in a drought..... Sweet post tho.

England not Scotland, have you ever been in Scotland it pisses it down with rain most of the time.

Fresh water is the new gold 2030

FAKENEWS!! Can’t be proved!

Do not worry AOC says we will be dead in 12 anyway

You clowns at NBC said that 20 years ago

This has everything to do with stupidity and nothing to do with climate change..

I thought the world was ending in 12 years?

This could be THE SOLUTION for the future... came across it the other day! Solar panels that can produce drinking water from the air! Check it out, it’s legit and amazing!

The only 'CLIMATE CHANGE' is what MOTHER NATURE does over thousands of years to ADJUST...the real climate danger is what GEOENGENEERS are doing to our atmosphere via aresol spraying!!!

Bullshit.

realDonaldTrump you up?

🔵🔵🔵🔵 a messeage to the Nation of the Cross

You know there is a deadly flood in Nebraska now right?

Meghan and Harry better step it up😏

AOC says we will be dead 13 years before that will happen.

Always 25-30 years away

Is this prediction predicted to be as predictable as literally every other ‘climatic catastrophe’ prediction before it?

Umm. Last week you were saying there were going to be more rain because the heat was evaporating the oceans. What happened? No traction on that lie so a new tactic?

Isn't the world going to end in 12 years though? So why would 25 years away even matter?

Wow!

Because wastefulness and leaking pipes are all due to CO2 output.... LoL...this is pure BS

I got even worse news for the UK, we only have 12 years left, so I wouldn't fret about fresh water.

we are all supposed to be dead by now

How does global warming restrict fresh water Wouldn’t the melting cause more water? Serious question.

Manhattan was gonna be underwater by 2000

So the UK gets 13 more years than the US? Unfair.

Plenty of fresh water in Venezuela.

Reach much?
