The Thames Gateway and the re-emergence of regional strategic planning: the implications for water resource management

Article Abstract:

The plans to develop the Thames Gateway area may have an adverse effect on the water supply, particularly as supplies in South East England are already under threat. Supporters of the scheme see the lack water as a problem to be solved which should not compromise the overall plan. The Thames Gateway scheme involves the development of an area to the east of London, to include 110,000 new households. Demand for water would therefore increase substantially to serve the new houses. Some observers have suggested that the planned sustainable development of the area will not be possible.
