As for the statement about immigration being part of the problem. Its true.

I agree.

There has also been a massive lack of investment (by the water companies and successive governments) over the past 30 years.

Add the two above together and we get to where we are now, with huge amounts of perfectly good water falling and not being collected and huge parts of the country being hit by hosepipe bans and a threat of drought orders.
