English learn how precious water is becoming
Even fully developed countries like England are finding that potable water is becoming more precious and expensive.
Water companies, like Thames Water have just announced the highest water rates since 1989, and also instituted a ban on water hoses for the garden or washing cars for the entire summer across a third of England and Wales.
The question asked if this a result of global warming, as in less rainfall, or government mismanagment. It seems not all homes are metered and metered homes do tend to use less water, as reported by The Times(UK).
