UK: Drinking water supply hot topic in Brexit negotiations | Water News Europe
Politicians in the United Kingdom are struggling with the Brexit-deal. There seems to be a lack of support for the EU-deal that is prepared by president May. Behind closed doors the government is also preparing a no-deal scenario. But according to a leaked secret report a no-deal can lead to drinking water shortages within a few days because Britain will run out of chemicals that imported from Europe. These chemicals are needed to produce safe drinking water.

  2. Notwithstanding certain peoples propensity to propose their own dodgy technologies the real issue is not about supply of chemicals. Companies have for a long time ensured that they have security of supply of chemicals and this will be a challenge to that but no more. The more important issue is that due to the chronic shortage of engineers in UK water projects like many others is heavily dependent on these terrible migrants that come over here doing the jobs that UK employers can't find candidates for. If they all bimble off back to wherever we will be screwed.

  3. I agree with Eric. "Project Scare" is well underMay/uh way. The use of chemicals to clean water is  WWII technology.  Microbial cleaning is 1 10,000th the cost and has ZERO % chance of allowing anything to get past its microbial duties.  The primary question is not where do we get the chemicals. It is Why are we still using ancient technologies.  What do ya bet no one responds to this fact. Cuts into some government officials profits.
