England’s water shortfall
Water companies plan to close a projected supply gap of up to 5 billion litres a day by 2050 through leak repairs, demand reduction and increased abstraction from rivers and aquifers. Nine new reservoirs and major pipeline upgrades are also part of the plans but these projects remain years away. No new reservoir has been built in England in 30 years.
