泰晤士水务公司修改了在英国牛津郡阿宾登附近的白马水库项目规划，以回应当地社区的反对意见。1该项目计划建造一座容量150亿升、占地6.7平方公里的超大型水库，预计2032年开工、2040年投入使用，可为1500万人提供供水。1项目成本已从22亿英镑增至55-75亿英镑。1
根据泰晤士水务公司的预测，到2055年该地区日用水缺口将超过20亿升，这一供水危机成为项目推进的主要驱动力。1该水库将成为欧洲最大的"完全围界"水库，建筑墙壁高度达25米。1泰晤士水务公司、Affinity Water和Southern Water的客户将在未来100年内通过水费账单支付相关费用。1
在规划推进过程中，公众咨询原定于1月结束，已调整至下月完成。1泰晤士水务公司计划于2026年底前提交规划申请。1当地官员对项目规划的透明度表示关切，指出规划方尚未共享任何大坝溃决分析或全面洪水风险模型。1
Thames Water has redesigned its proposed White Horse Reservoir project in Oxfordshire in response to community concerns. 1 The project involves constructing a massive reservoir with a capacity of 150 billion litres across a surface area of 6.7 square kilometres. 1 The infrastructure is expected to serve approximately 15 million people and is projected to commence construction in 2032, with operations beginning in 2040. 1
The financial scope of the initiative has expanded significantly, with project costs rising from £2.2 billion to between £5.5 billion and £7.5 billion. 1 The planned development footprint has also grown considerably, expanding from 10 square kilometres to 38 square kilometres. 1 When completed, the reservoir will rank as Europe's largest fully enclosed water body, featuring walls reaching 25 metres in height. 1 Thames Water, alongside Affinity Water and Southern Water customers, will fund the project through their bills over a 100-year period. 1
The initiative responds to anticipated water scarcity in the region, with forecasts indicating a daily shortfall exceeding 2 billion litres by 2055. 1 Public consultation, initially scheduled to conclude in January, has been extended and is now expected to finish the following month. 1 Thames Water intends to submit a planning application by the end of 2026. 1
