Greenpeace UK leakage analysis
Report reveals daily leakage of 2.87bn litres—five times the savings from a nationwide hosepipe ban—and calls for urgent infrastructure investment.
Hosepipe bans imposed
Millions of households in south and south-east England placed under temporary use bans amid record heatwave and declining reservoir/groundwater levels.
Climate Change Committee warning
Government climate advisers report that droughts will become more frequent, intense and widespread, with a potential supply shortfall of over 5bn litres daily by the 2050s.
Last major reservoir completed
No major new reservoir has been built since the early 1990s, severely limiting storage capacity to buffer against drought.
Water industry privatised
The 1989 Water Act privatised water and sewerage companies in England and Wales, shifting them to private ownership.
Greenpeace UK reveals that 2.87 billion litres of water leak from UK pipes daily—equivalent to 20% of supply—dwarfing the 577 million litres a nationwide hosepipe ban could save. For supply chain professionals, this highlights critical infrastructure inefficiency and the urgent need for investment in resilient water distribution networks to avoid escalating shortages.
