Projections of Future Water Availability

Published:

Assessment:
CCRA3-IA

Type:
Research and supporting analysis

Country focus:
UK

The CCC previously commissioned projections of current and future water availability for the UK to inform the CCRA2 Evidence Report. This project updates those projections for the CCRA3 Evidence Report to take into account the new UKCP18 climate projections and the latest plans from water companies. The project looks at both the demand for and supply of water, and takes into account population growth and climate change to project how much water will be available in the mid and late century for each of the four UK countries. The project reports results for the public water supply and also for ‘all sectors’ which includes the demands of agriculture, energy generation, industry and the environment.
