  Bit confused here by your argument here PhilipP. The 'environment' referred to by the Abingdon campaigners is the scenery and wildlife aspects of the area whereas the government policy that says it should be needed is the one that refers to climate change. It would seem this fanatical desire to prove that the world is constant and unchanging has got the better of you. There is no denying that there is a water shortage and without doubt the water companies are not doing enough to fix their losses or generally actively seek out new supplies. The obvious need for a new reservoir is because there is not enough for the homes etc. already here plus the many thousands more the government wants built. A good move by the water company but a stupid move by a government minister.
  
  Much of Australia has a recent history of drought (climate change or just an unfortunate run of uncharateristic weather?) so the reluctance to open the flood gates had a basis in experience. But then that would not be of much use in attacking climate change or refusing a need for change would it.
