Water in the UK

Cards (6)

  • The demand of water has increased as population increases
  • Water deficit is when there is more demand than water supply
  • Water surplus is when there is more water supply than demand
  • The north and west of the UK has water surplus
  • The south and east of the UK have water deficit
  • Transferring water is expensive and destroys habitats but is the only way for areas with water deficit to have sufficient water
