Population explosion could lead to water shortages by 2055: Report
ENGLAND, JUN 16 – England will need to reduce leaks by 50% and cut water use by 2.5 billion litres daily to avoid a 5 billion litre shortfall affecting public supply, agriculture, and energy by 2055.
- The Environment Agency warned that England could face a public water supply shortfall of five billion litres a day by 2055 without urgent action to manage resources and reduce leaks.
- Climate change and an increasing population will raise demand for water, especially as England's population is expected to grow by eight million by 2055.
- The highly populated south east region is expected to need an additional two billion litres a day between 2030 and 2055, according to the Environment Agency.
- Alan Lovell, chairman of the Environment Agency, stated that the increasing pressure on water resources threatens economic growth and food production, urging coordinated conservation efforts.
