Thames Water has published for consultation its draft Water Resources Management Plan for the next 80 years. The plan, which follows detailed modelling of over 200 options, contains actions including:
Constructing a new reservoir in Oxfordshire in the 2040s.
Taking more water from the River Thames above Teddington Weir in west London from 2030.
A 15% reduction in leakage by 2025, ten years earlier than originally planned.
Installing 1m more smart water meters in homes by 2035.
In the plan, the company grapples with the prospect of 2m more people by 2045 and declining supply from climate change.
Chief executive Steve Robertson (pictured) added: “Our plan aims to meet the growing needs of the wider south east, and we’ve been working with fellow water companies in England and Wales to take a co-ordinated approach to ensure we offer our customers the best possible value solution. We now want to hear what our customers and stakeholders think.”
The consultation runs until 29 April.
On Sunday, a BBC World report put London as number 9 in a list of 11 cities most likely to follow Cape Town’s path in running out of drinking water.

I was scrolling through my social media feed when a targeted ad caught my eye. The colorful interface looked completely different from the usual dark-themed platforms. BettySpin Casino immediately drew me in with its playful layout and quirky mascot designs. I decided to try a fruit machine slot while relaxing on my sofa. For the first thirty minutes, I hit absolutely nothing but dead spins. My balance was dropping so fast I was ready to close the tab entirely. Suddenly, three bonus symbols aligned on the center payline. The free spins round triggered with a massive multiplier, turning a twenty-pound deposit into a four-hundred-pound withdrawal. It was a totally unexpected turnaround for a random Tuesday night in the UK.
Hi everyone! I recently found jackpot charm casino while browsing through different websites and was wondering if anyone here has already explored it. There are plenty of similar resources online, so I usually like to compare a few before deciding which ones to keep bookmarked. I'm mostly interested in whether the website is easy to use, how the information is organized, and whether everything is simple to find. If you've already visited it, I'd appreciate hearing your honest impressions.
Mobile performance is one of the most important things for any online gaming platform today. A platform may look good on desktop, but if the mobile version is slow, crowded, or difficult to use, the overall experience becomes weaker. In the UK market, users often expect quick loading, simple menus, smooth scrolling, clear buttons, and a cashier section that works properly on smaller screens. When reviewing tenobet, I would pay close attention to mobile usability, page speed, layout adaptation, account access, and whether the platform feels comfortable during longer sessions.
I discovered Betmac after reading a random late-night thread where people were sharing stories about casino sessions that unexpectedly turned around at the last moment. One user described nearly logging off before hitting several good wins in a row, which sounded painfully familiar to me. Out of curiosity I tried it myself later that evening. What I liked most was how quickly everything loaded and how easy the navigation felt compared to some other UK platforms I’ve used recently.
