I have worked on building sites for many years as a plasterer.
Bearing in mind this latest water shortage and looking around the current site I am working on, I can't see why the Government doesn't make it compulsory for every new building to have, say, 100-litre water butts put underground to collect rainwater so it can be pumped into a tank to be used as toilet-flush water.
When and if the tank ran dry, another tank could replace it until the butt filled up again. This would be a simple task for a plumber to do.
The Government plans to build thousands of new houses so it would have to act fast to take these ideas into consideration.
