760m litres of water lost each day: Immoral waste

In a world where the idea of sustainability is ever-more important; in a world where drought is having a devastating impact on millions of people, the Irish Water report, that around 761m litres of water are lost each day from our water supply systems, suggests an indifference and stupidity bordering on the immoral.

That this figure has increased despite significant investment in repairing the system points to a kind of circular lunacy that will, sooner or later, have to be confronted in a very real and expensive way. This waste simply cannot continue.
