Thames Water has launched a public consultation on proposals for the South-East Strategic Reservoir Option (SESRO). A new reservoir located to the south-west of Abingdon in Oxfordshire. This follows the publication last year of the revised draft Water Resources Management Plan 2024, setting out the measures that are proposed to protect future water supplies and decrease the likelihood of water shortages during prolonged periods of drought.
