The population of the SE is increasing quite rapidly. It's one of the areas where precipitation levels are low and large natural reservoirs don't tend to occur.
Not virtuous combination to start with.
Now add in reduced levels of precipitation and things ....
Agreed but all of this has been known for many many years and the water companies have done very little about it.
Take Sutton and East Surrrey Water - 85% of their water comes from boreholes and they have one reservoir which supplies 15%. Does not take a genius to work out this is unsustainable but they have done nothing about it.
