Water scarcity and agricultural reservoirs

Tabled by Steff Aquarone (Liberal Democrat) 24 signatures

The motion

That this House recognises that water scarcity and limited water storage capacity put acute pressure on farming and food production; notes with concern the impacts of climate change on river patterns which has increased unpredictability for abstraction license holders; recognises the importance of attenuation for securing water for agricultural land; believes that farmers need more support to develop local resource options to secure water supplies; and calls on the Government to urgently set out a timescale for their review of agricultural permitted development rights for on-farm reservoirs.
