Why is England running dry?

England faces a daily water shortfall of five billion litres by 2055. This isn't just about less rain; heatwaves increase evaporation and demand. On top of that, people in England use significantly more water daily than in some other European countries, like Denmark. It's a combination of environmental factors and usage habits.
