Here's an article written by the author of the report - Tim Leunig, chief economist at CentreForum, which includes a link to the report and a picture.

When I read about moving the runways west, I just couldn't picture what they meant? Surely there are large reservoirs. Apparently he suggests building over top of the M25 and the Wraysbury Reservoir. Hmmm. Not sure that strikes me as practical.
