But that cost will only be passed onto the consumer.

The issue where we are is actually not that we don't have enough water (and this is common for a lot of the UK), it's that it can't be treated quick enough to satisfy demand.

Additional reservoirs would help, but more treatment plants are really what is needed, and is a cheaper and quicker fix than desalination.

Too many people. And getting worse.

But you have to have a structure to allow for people growth - declining populations are bad for economic growth.

The issue is also the geography and demographics of those people, making the country more balanced would allow that to happen. It's easy to have infrastructure if it is well planned and not kicked down the road as Governments tend to do.

I challenge your first statement.

Increasing populations are bad for social and economic health. The relentless pursuit of Mammon to the exclusion of quality of life is a big mistake.

🎶 You never go to night clubs and you just don't care to dance

       You don't have time for silly things like moonlight and romance

       You only think of dollar bills tied neatly in a stack

        But when you kiss a dollar bill, it doesn't kiss you back 🎶
