Incredibly overpopulated. 434 people per km^2. 1.81 times the population density of Germany.

I think the question should really be, how can it not be out of water? There's literally only 48x48 metres per person.

That's just England though. Scotland has 70 people per km^2. Water is also "free". Free as in, it's part of your council tax and all water is nationalised. You do not buy it from a private company.

I would prefer it was metered so companies that use a lot of water are charged commensurately. Council tax in itself is a regressive tax, so adding water charges to that makes things worse.

Yes, but I think it's the population density of the densely populated regions that matters.

It's not like they're bringing water from Scotland to England by pipeline.
