The U.k already suffers from water shortages

Drinking water is already in short supply in the south of England with every year suffering hose pipe bans drought orders. Already this year on the 2nd of May my garden is very dry with cracks appearing every where with no rain in sight.

Many people keep asking the water companies why don't we desalinate sea water, and the answer is cost £££££.
It costs 9 times more to process sea water than using river or underground supplies. Who is perpared to pay such an increase.
Also the electricity generating companies could not keep up with demand if we elected to go down this route.
