Water Shortage in South East

Sounds like it’s going to be a nice summer, queuing up at the local standpipe with my bucket. It’s looking likely that we in the south east will be facing our worst ever water shortage - in a long run of water shortages.

I hate to harp on about it, but how can anyone plan to build thousands upon thousands of new houses in the southeast when there is not enough water to go around for the existing houses?

Why can’t some of the land be put aside for some new reservoirs? It’s getting beyond the pail (geddit?)

Who in their right mind would want to move into a house in an area that has constant water shortages and a hosepipe ban every summer? Considering we aren’t even close to summer yet?

You also have to question the folly of building on known flood plains after the driest winter sways someone’s decision.
