Water is a National Emergency for Britain but it isn’t being treated that way. The scale of environmental pollution that is occurring because of the mismanagement by the water companies and the disregard which they have shown towards their obligations to manage this precious resource properly should already be enough to sack em off. What we need to bear in mind is that Water is essential for life. Not only human life but the welfare of creatures living in the environment as well. Water is essential for bathing and cooking. Water is just essential for normal life. So is the right to live in a unpolluted environment with access to clean rivers, clean beaches and clean seas.
