| Quote: | "Near universal" water metering should be introduced in England and Wales to help protect supplies, the Environment Agency has recommended.
Metering should start in areas that are particularly vulnerable to water shortages in the future, it adds.
But the Campaign for Water Justice called the plans a "travesty", saying the poor would be hit hardest.
The agency also says there should be rewards for water companies that reduce the amount of water they provide.
Its water strategy sets out measures it thinks should be implemented to protect resources up to 2050.
The agency, responsible for water policy in England and Wales, also says there needs to be a complete review of the way the industry is regulated.

Ian Barker, head of water resources at the Environment Agency, said: "We need to use what we have more carefully because the sources on which we currently rely will become less reliable in the future."
He said not all the messages about reducing water use in the home were getting through.
