Water Resources Strategy for England & Wales The Environment Agency recently consulted on the future of water resources over the next few decades. The pressures on our water resources are growing. More houses are being built, the population is increasing and all sectors are using more water. Climate change will only add to these pressures, and it is clear that agricultural abstraction of water is particularly vulnerable. CLA has responded robustly to the consultation, in particular outlining the importance of water to the agricultural sector. We stress the need for better rainfall capture and storage, coupled with demand management across all sectors. The full consultation response is available below. |
