Swathes of England may face drought as soon as August if the hot and dry weather persists, the Environment Agency has confirmed.
A dry spring and early summer have already withered rivers and reservoirs and watered down water quality in many parts of England, pushing most of the country into “prolonged dry weather” status, the first of four drought categories.
Whether areas will tip into the second “drought” stage hinges on when the rain returns, and whether it adds up to more or less than usual. Chances could be washed away within weeks if it rains, or the risk could remain for months.

Where has all the evaporated water gone?. I'm sure we will see major flooding and storms in some part of the world very soon.
Almighty is Supreme!!!
ðŸ˜
See? The sun never sets on the British Empire!
just looked at 8 measured groundwater levels in my area, all 8 are showing normal levels. All these fancy schemes costing millions by EA to stop flooding are contributing to some issues as they all take water away quickly rather than keep it where it is needed. Open up the flood plains and water meadows with sluices maintained..a far cheaper and more effective way of dealing with both flooding and summer supplies
This is late, i was expecting it within the 1st week of last weeks heatwave.
The grass doesn't look green because the producer didn't color grade the footage to green.
More scaremongering that the world is dying. Its was hear before us and will still be here after we go the way of the dinosaurs. 🦕
No problem. Refill the reservoirs

And summer circles the earth, water is a short commodity! A week Nome the UK will introduce a hosepipe ban. When British water applied to restrict the income!
Yet at night the water company is have large amounts of unused electrical power. Required to use only and a to drive pumps to to cure in the water around the country.
The need to drop a waited snorkel into a nearby river or the sea, and suck out water vapour. By definition water boils in a 0° C, we one metre of vacuum. That requires one Whatt of power. Another the water vapour is 1000 times easier to pump and liquid water! And it rolls of film really without a problem.
Population growth is 100% due to immigration. Legal immigration facilitated by the Tories. The nasty party is building houses everywhere and draining the nation dry.
And it's not global warming it's because we are over populated
I say why do England water companies buy spare rainfall from, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. They are abundant in rainfall. No need to panic. Just invest in long hoses'.
Simple really..
Looks more like Australian grazing conditions
Putin's power is growing daily, now he evaporates water so far from Mordor
Stop government weather control. This is another planned crise.
#skipashower campaign by Nilaqua – a revolution in personal hygiene – no water required. "Towel Off" Body Wash and Shampoo. Have a look 🙂
It's pissing down here 01:55am
The boss of Wessex Water, which has warned of a ban on ‘non-essential’ water use, has a 40ft swimming pool at his £3 million home.
Colin Skellett, 77, earns £1 million a year for running a water company that loses 70 million litres of water a day due to faulty infrastructure.
As it struggles to stop the leaks, it is telling customers to watch their usage – even with advice on pools.
When it rains a lot they complain. When it's sunny for a long time they complain.
Get free fresh water. Water the grass
https://freewaterfortheworld.blogspot.com/2022/08/water-grass.html
The water companeis do not own money through hosepipe bans. And at night we have a massive excess electricity to drive pumps.
They should dip a waighted snorkel into the sea or river. An just one W of electrical power, will cause a one metre of the sea or river water will cause a one metre of liquid water to boil into 1000 l of water vapour.
😊
No! Just No! Stop this climate change BS an excuse for every utility to charge more make bigger profits every year. We get poorer service the last water reservoir was built 30 years ago, while now millions of people are welcomed into the country each year. Criminal incompetence does not equal climate change.
Wonder whose going too do a live aid to help britain for once ?
Give it a few weeks and the very same people will be moaning about flooding.
More reservoirs needed its simple stupid WEAK government leaders once again no investment these water companies making billions
It is very heartbreaking
Europe must take necessary steps to work and improve climate change

Crisis after crisis in this country . What’s going to happen next
Sorry to hear that we've been going through it as well no rain for months and over a 100 every day but looks like it may be coming soon thank God
