After the bad drought back in 1976, would it not have been possible for Southern Water to pump unadulterated seawater to properties in Brighton and Hove?
They could have left drinking water through the cold tap in the kitchens and fed sea water through all the other taps because we could have bathed, as well as washed our cars and our homes, with salt water and had a water butt in the garden for the plants.
It will be a long time before the English Channel dries up.
