How is London tap water different
As London approaches 9 million people we not only have to consider where we get enough clean water to drink but also how we get rid of the waste, and recycle water for drinking and other uses. London is described as a water-stressed city and scientists and technologists need to be very creative to overcome issues as they arise. Throughout history, technological development and a greater understanding of related science has enabled ever more complex solutions. Water companies in the London area have to take into consideration the fact that London uses more water and produces more waste than any other city.
