Water, water, everywhere...

...but not a drop to drink, so it appears, with hosepipe bans and reservoirs emptying to dangerously low levels. With the local area of East Anglia semi-flooded, and the River Colne outside looking rather brown to near-overflowing, the underlying question is, where is all this water going? My suspicious gaze wanders towards the huge numbers of houses - many  of them empty - being built, all of which of course, have water mains. Demand is exceeding supply.

Maybe voluntary water rationing will be the answer? On which irreverent note, my mind strays towards this amusing WWII information short.
