Too many people, not enough water, climate change, zero effective future-proofing, not enough reservoirs, water leaks everywhere, people taking water for granted, phenomenal incompetence, grossly inadequate infrastructure generally, capitalism, corruption, no interest whatsoever from the powers that be in ensuring infrastructure capable of sustaining building development, acknowledged problems tackled with blinkers deliberately put on - eg solve insulation whilst putting fingers in ears over the details like ventilation or flammabiliy, build more housing whilst wilfully ignoring the effect on the environment or infrastructure (eg Councils pretending the roads will not be gridlocked and pretending they don’t know the developers always lie, always cut corners, always blame someone else, and always conveniently go bust when it suits them to avoid fulfilling their fanciful pledges), etc. It’s not as if water supply is the only problem. Failing GP surgeries, overwhelmed hospitals that are falling to bits, gridlocked roads, regular flooding, constant sewage leaks, regular issues with public transport, schools in massive deficits. Anyone would think we can’t afford everything we have been led to expect, and there is more profit for those who have the power and money in creating more global chaos, not less.
