In 2004 38 billion litres of water were abstracted per day from non-tidal surface and ground
water sources in England and Wales. Although this is a decrease since 1971, abstraction
had been lower during the 1970s and 1980s.

In the mid-1990s abstractions increased in line with economic growth. The abstractions in
2003 and 2004 declined slightly and were similar to 1990 levels.
Leakage losses increased in the early 1990s but by 2000-1 had decreased by 32 per cent
compared with 1992. In 2005-6 leakage losses were 25 per cent lower than in 1992.
