Incredibly overpopulated. 434 people per km^2. 1.81 times the population density of Germany.
I think the question should really be, how can it not be out of water? There's literally only 48x48 metres per person.
- flumpcakes 1y agoThat's just England though. Scotland has 70 people per km^2. Water is also "free". Free as in, it's part of your council tax and all water is nationalised. You do not buy it from a private company. I would prefer it was metered so companies that use a lot of water are charged commensurately. Council tax in itself is a regressive tax, so adding water charges to that makes things worse.
- impossiblefork 1y agoYes, but I think it's the population density of the densely populated regions that matters. It's not like they're bringing water from Scotland to England by pipeline.
- arethuza 1y agoWorth noting that most of the population of Scotland is concentrated in the Central Belt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Belt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Belt
