For those with an apocalyptic imagination and a tabloid subscription, the future of drought-stricken Britain seems increasingly bleak.
The statistics alone read like the introduction to a sci-fi film: more than 35m people in England are currently living under drought conditions; two of the driest winters in history, and the driest March in 59 years, mean that underground water and reservoir levels are falling at the fastest rate for two decades; the Met Office says there is a good chance this spring could see the least rainwater since (in that dreaded phrase) “records began” – and there is no end on the forecasted horizon.
Now some are thirstily reporting the terrifying possibility that “specially imported foreign water” might have to be brought to the UK using giant ships to quench our demand, while water bosses are threatening to sell water from region to region “like oil”.
So how close really is the UK to a ‘Mad Max’ vision of the future, where water is traded in the deserts of Sussex and Surrey by Evian-tattooed wildmen atop three-wheeled motorcycles?
And what can we do to avoid ever getting there?
Our Last Resort? The Cost Of Importing Water By Tanker
If the UK theoretically ran out of water completely it would be technically possible to bring in water via tanker. But it’s not cheap.Several major countries have attempted it, however.
When Jersey experienced its own drought crisis in November it looked at keeping its population in water in this way, and for one tanker containing 100m litres of water – enough for five days supply for Jersey’s 150,000 people – the water authorities there were quoted around £1m.
Howard Snowden, managing director of Jersey Water, said the tanker would have come via Norway, where it would have filled up with freshwater near to the fjords.
Given a similar structure, it would cost (very roughly) about £46m per day to provide basic water to the 35m people currently experiencing drought in the UK.
Extended over a six month period, that would cost the UK around £8.3bn just for the raw water alone, ignoring the massive cost of distribution. In reality such a monumental effort would either prove impossible or many times more expensive. Rapid expansion of desalination capacity with temporary equipment would also prove very costly.
