drought=less food... Its looking like the US will have a lot less fruits and veggies because less migrants want to be caught in the fields... The world is already short on food.. 2.7 Billion have food insecurity according to WHO.. Its more likely higher.. every person losing SNAP is in danger

‘No reservoirs have been built in England for more than 30 years’

I worked for months on a large brand new reservoir only five years ago.
I wonder if it doesn’t fit into their definition?

Could you name it and where it is in England, and indicate whether it's finished and ready to use for water supply?

I’ll try. It’s just north of Hereford. Near a village called Canon Pyon

And it is on this list with a completion date?

Wait a god damn second, are you telling me corporations and billionaires don’t have our best interest in mind? I wish it was going to get better, but at the very least they don’t have an orange president.

And strange how this is the next story on The Guardian site:

Strange how when the sewage is being washed into the rivers it's because there's "too much water" in the system for them to process, and when it's water shortages it's because there's "not enough water" in the system.

Almost like some sort of storage could be the solution.
