Conclusion (the committee's words)
The Environment Agency acknowledged that it pumped large volumes of water, either in drought or in flood, and poured a lot of concrete when building flood schemes. It too has committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and told us it needed to learn as it goes forward and share its knowledge with the water companies as well as seeking to learn from them.28 21 Q 68 22 Q 72 23 Q 74 24 Q 88 25 C&AG’s Report, para 14 26 Q 87 27 Q 89 28 Q 89 12 Water supply and demand management 2 Water supply and demand A national message on the need to reduce water consumption
