What you need to know
- UK rainfall is highest in the north and west, but demand is greatest in the south and east, which creates water stress.
- Demand is rising with population growth, new housing and hot summers, while climate change may cut supply.
- Households in England use about 140 litres per person per day; targets aim to cut this to 110 litres by 2050.
- Ways to balance supply and demand include saving water at home, fixing leaks, cutting pollution, recycling grey water and building reservoirs.
- The proposed Lincolnshire reservoir would supply 500,000 homes, but local farmers and villagers oppose losing land and homes.
