Water scarcity and agricultural reservoirs

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.
