Show transcript
In the UK, water comes from surface water sources (rivers, lakes, reservoirs) and underground water sources (aquifers). The greatest demand for water in the UK comes from areas that have the least water supply. Reservoirs collect water in the wettest parts of the UK, to pipe to cities and towns in other areas for drinking water.
