Water companies in England and Wales lost over one trillion litres of water last year due to leaks, with Thames Water being the worst performer.
The Environment Agency warns that by 2050, the UK will require five billion more litres a day to meet demand, while London may run out of water within 25 years.
Feargal Sharkey criticized the lack of proactive measures from water companies, stating they must prioritize leakage control to conserve water, as the industry is failing on this front.
The financial pressures faced by water companies, especially Thames Water, hinder their investment in fixing leaks, as short-term costs are prioritized over long-term sustainability.
