1.1.2.WATER USE The biggest UK water user is industry, followed by agriculture and municipal use. Demand for water is extremely high, leading to concerns over maintaining the water resources available for people and the environment. In the South East of England, for example, the Thames river basin district is one of the driest in the country, receiving a quarter less rainfall than the national average and less per person than many Mediterranean countries. In 2000, total water withdrawal was estimated as 15.895km3, of which a small portion (0.033km3) was obtained with desalination processes. This water abstraction can be itemized by user sector. In 2003, it was estimated that the water dedicated to agriculture reached 1.286km3. For municipal use, 7.419km3 was abstracted, along with 7.190km3 for industrial purposes. The two main drivers and pressures regarding water abstraction and use are climate change and the pressures that expanding urban areas will have on flood plains by decreasing permeability. Climate change predictions indicate that in the future there will be more frequent and intense rain events. The effect of these will be enhanced by hotter, drier summers which will increase surface water run-off as the dried-out soil will have decreased permeability. This will greatly increase the level of damage caused by flooding. Population increases in the future will also lead to increased pressure on flood plains as urban areas expand. Development on flood plains has already created flood risk events. Expanding urban areas will also decrease overall permeability and therefore increase surface water run-off and thus flood risk.
