'We get more meter reads in one day than we used to get in a year from our historical base of two million meters'

摘要

'The Thames Water area is classified as seriously water-stressed, and this will only increase as the population we serve grows - by 2045, we forecast that we will be serving another 2 million people. At the same time, the amount of water that we can take from rivers and underground sources is reducing, due to changes in the climate and the need to protect the environment."As a result, we predict that there will be a shortfall between the amount of water available and the amount of water we need equivalent to the water needed by over 2 million people by 2045 unless we take action.
