With increasingly hot, dry summers, low water levels of both public, and farm reservoirs (our own farm reservoir included), and with farmers increasingly unable/not allowed to extract the necessary water from rivers/reservoirs for their crop irrigation, it is vital that, as an absolute minimum, there is enough water for irrigation and food security and public drinking water. It is therefore unconscionable that in excess of ten litres of water per second, equating to 600 litres per minute, 36,000 litres per hour, 864,000 litres each and every day, would be lavished on the proposed Medworth Energy from Waste Combined Heat & Power Facility, for the next four decades, were it to be allowed to be built. The Medworth proposal therefore cannot be considered in isolation. I register my objection to it.
