Water: is it as plentiful as we think?

The man in charge of our water talks to Martin Geissler about supply, demand and whether we should be charged for how much we use.

We drink it, wash with it and curse it when it falls from the sky. But how much do we really know about our water supply?

The man in charge of it, Scottish Water's Chief Executive Alex Plant, talks to Martin about supply, demand, rising bills and why we need to think seriously about how much water we use.
