| Re: I read these two stories on after the other Does it make people think about new reservoirs, no. I have said for years, we need desalination plants. Yes! Expensive, but we live on an island for heavens sake

| Re: I read these two stories on after the other Quote:
Britain's image will suffer badly if a £200m plant to turn salt water into drinking water is not built in London in the next few years, a public inquiry was told yesterday. London's water supply is so fragile and its population growing so fast that unless the desalination plant is built regeneration in the city could be undermined, a lawyer for Thames Water, which is appealing against mayor Ken Livingstone's decision to block the plant, told the inquiry, adding that even a drought every 20 years could lead to standpipes and water rationing. Desalination plant necessary to tackle London's water shortage, supplier says | Environment | The Guardian There's your answer Bruv
