Remarks from James Bevan are to paint a stark picture of the future.
England could experience water shortages within the next 25 years, the chief executive of the Environment Agency has warned.
Because of the effects of climate change, the U.K. will have summers that are hotter and drier, which will lead to an increasing number of water shortages, Bevan will note. Climate change, coupled with population growth, will result in an"existential threat" to"our economy, environment, security, happiness, way of life," Bevan is expected to say."We can choose to ignore this problem. Or we can choose to tackle it."
Crucially, people will also need to cut the amount of water they waste."We need water wastage to be as socially unacceptable as blowing smoke in the face of a baby or throwing your plastic bags into the sea," Bevan will say."We need everyone to take responsibility for their own water usage."
