U.K. utilities are being encouraged to pipe more water to drought-prone parts of the country such as the southeast according to proposals outlined today by the regulator Ofwat, the Telegraph reported.
Less than 5 percent of the U.K.’s water is currently traded between water companies in different parts of the country, a figure that’s almost unchanged since privatization in 1989, the newspaper said.
