MIGRATION WATCH UK
What would you feel if your water supply was cut off, without warning, with no idea of when it might resume, and you were forced to rely on emergency bottled water?
Tens of thousands of people in Kent found themselves in this exact scenario this week. While the shortages in Kent were due to equipment failure, within the next few decades this could be the reality of daily life in Britain.
Uncontrolled mass migration is putting enormous pressure on our aging water infrastructure. The last new major reservoir in England was built in 1992. Since then, our political elites have allowed at least a net 8,022,000 people to migrate to the UK (those we know of). The actual numbers could be far higher; Thames Water, in a bid to predict future demand, estimates around 1 in 12 London residents are illegal immigrants.
The Environment Agency predicts England will have a shortfall of 6,000,000,000 litres of water every single day by 2055.
If every reservoir currently planned in England is actually built, they could provide a maximum of 670,000,000 additional litres of water every day – just 11% of the shortfall.
The government is sleep walking into a scenario where water shortages are unavoidable, through their unwillingness to get a grip on the migration fiasco.
We are already being told to prepare for drought conditions in 2026. England, a nation famous for its rain, is expecting water shortages simply because it has too many residents and not enough infrastructure to store rainfall. This is utterly unsustainable.
Last week’s Office of National Statistics estimates show that there has been a significant fall in net migration – 204,000 net migrants in the year ending June 2025. This just delays our water shortage crisis, rather than solving it. 204,000 people is still a city the size of York, which must be provided with food, water, energy and other services.
On our current path, sooner or later, the taps will run dry. Or our political elites can wake up, stop the tide of mass uncontrolled migration, and give England the breathing space it needs to catch up with our disastrous infrastructure shortfall.
This week, we suggest you write to your MP about pressures on our water infrastructure. You can write anything you like, but we have provided a template below for your convenience. Simply copy the text, paste it into an email, delete and replace any red text, and send.
You can verify your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP.
“Dear [DELETE AND TYPE NAME OF MP HERE],
I am one of your constituents, living at [DELETE AND TYPE ADDRESS HERE].
I am writing to you regarding the fragile state of England’s water infrastructure. The recent supply failures in Kent serve as a stark warning, but I am concerned that we are facing a much larger, systemic threat: the pressure placed on our water supply by uncontrolled mass migration.
Since the last major reservoir was built in 1992, net migration has added over 8 million people to the UK population. The Environment Agency currently predicts a water shortfall of 6 billion litres per day by 2055. Even if all currently planned reservoirs are built, they will only address 11% of this deficit. With current migration figures essentially adding a city the size of York every year, this trajectory is unsustainable.
Therefore, I am requesting that you write to the Environment Agency on my behalf to demand answers. Specifically, please ask them to provide a formal estimate regarding:
What is the specific quantitative burden placed on England’s water supply and storage infrastructure attributable to migration-fuelled population growth since 1992, and how do they account for this specific variable in their drought preparations for 2026 and beyond?
Kind regards,[DELETE AND TYPE YOUR NAME HERE]
If you receive a response from your MP and are comfortable sharing it, please forward it on to us – we are always interested!
The recent slump in arrivals continues, with rough seas and winds preventing crossing attempts this week.
Alp Mehmet, our Chairman, comments on the findings that many primary schools are reporting high levels of pupils who cannot speak English.
When I came here in the 50s; I was the only child in my East London primary school not speaking English. I learnt it (cockney) quickly without special attention. I assimilated because I and my parents wanted to. The pace and scale of migration today make it so much more difficult https://t.co/MATBHIko2P

And in case you missed it, we highlighted exactly what mass migration is costing the United Kingdom every year – it isn’t pretty…

The Financial Times has reported that some British Universities have begun cutting “recruitment of Bangladeshi and Pakistani students… because of concerns over visa abuse and tougher Home Office rules”.
“Jamie Arrowsmith, director at Universities UK International, said some institutions would need to diversify their intakes and enhance their application processes and deposit policies to comply with the new rules.While stricter rules “may be challenging” for many universities, they are necessary to maintain public confidence in the system, he added.”
This follows our research paper released in September that argued for tighter student visa rules, imposed as a cap by central government. It needs to go a lot further – but it’s a good start.
Writer Poppy Coburn presented a video for Migration Watch on this topic in 2023, which you can watch below
As Poppy Coburn eloquently points out here, there’s a serious downside to the growing number of overseas students, a significant number of whom don’t leave on graduating. With many, settlement is the main objective.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
