Water UK unhappy with Ofwat's water bill hike

Ofwat's draft proposals will increase household water bills in England and Wales by an average of £19 a year over the next five years, significantly less than requested by water companies.

Water UK chief executive David Henderson criticised the decision, stating that reduced investment would hinder housing development, slow river recovery, and impede efforts to address future water shortages.

He urged Ofwat to reconsider and allow necessary infrastructure investments to proceed.

Japan Builds Ocean Earthquake Shield As U.S. Risks Disaster With Blind Spot On Cascadia Fault

Japan has completed the world’s most advanced undersea earthquake and tsunami detection system—3,500+ miles of fiber-optic cables linking 186 observatories across the ocean floor. It’s designed to warn citizens and infrastructure minutes ahead of massive quakes and tsunamis, a leap forward after the devastating 2011 disaster. The newly completed S-net and N-net networks allow near-instant detection of seismic activity along entire subduction zones. Meanwhile, Cardiff University in Wales has adapted nuclear explosion detectors to spot tsunamis faster than ever. But experts warn that the U.S. remains woefully behind—especially on the Pacific Northwest’s Cascadia megathrust fault. With just one cable and three sensors, the U.S. could face catastrophic consequences from a future magnitude 9.0 quake. Japan’s model could be the blueprint the rest of the world urgently needs. #Japan #Earthquake #Tsunami #SeafloorSensors #FiberOpticCables #CascadiaFault #SeismicNetwork #NaturalDisasters #TectonicPlates #QuakeWarning #Snet #Nnet #CardiffUniversity #Hydrophones #AISeismology #USvsJapan #TsunamiRisk #SlowSlip #GeologicalHazard #DisasterPreparedness
