Allison is right about the core fact, and it is worth sitting with how damning it is. Carsington, 1992, was the last major reservoir. Ten million more people since. Leakage still running at a fifth to a quarter of everything we treat. And this January it rained for thirty consecutive days in parts of the south-west, flooding hundreds of properties, with nothing built to catch the water that six months later we are banning people from using.
That last point is the one the hosepipe announcement conceals. Britain does not have a water shortage. It has a storage and transfer shortage. The rain falls in the wrong place and the wrong season, and we have declined for thirty years to build the infrastructure that moves it: the reservoirs, the transfer network between wet west and dry east, the aquifer recharge that other countries treat as routine. The Victorians built the water system we still depend on with a fraction of our wealth and none of our technology. They had the two things we have lost: political will and a planning horizon longer than a spending review.
The failure is not a mystery and it is not weather. Flood management and water supply are treated as separate problems by separate institutions, no one of which owns the outcome of water security, and so the same water that ruins homes in January is rationed in July. A hosepipe ban is not a drought measure. It is an institutional confession.

@elonmusk Minimum wage was supposed to raise people out of poverty but in increasingly larger number of people it's become maximum wage, so it's how something is used that determines the outcome, could we see someone like yourself a man of great means receiving optimal health care?
