The UK has been pushed to the brink of water rationing due to “years of mismanagement” of resources and insufficient infrastructure, the country’s environment minister has warned.
In an interview with The i Paper published on Monday, Steve Reed said the country was faced with adopting measures often seen in drought-hit Mediterranean nations.
”The public, by and large, were not aware that at the time of the last general election, this country was looking at water rationing within ten years,” Reed said, speaking one year after Labour’s election win. He warned that rebuilding the UK’s essential systems, including water infrastructure, “cannot be done over just five years.”
