Drought is predicted to return for Spring 2023, despite the recovery of rainfall levels this winter
"Our lives, livelihoods and nature all depend on one thing - water.
"Climate change and population growth mean we need to take action now to ensure we have enough over the coming decades to manage everyday supplies, and more intense drought events.""We have a plan to do that and delivering it will require all of us to work together - government, water companies, regulators, farmers and businesses, and each of us as individuals. The Environment Agency is determined to do its part.
As part of its plans to tackle the issue over the next six months, the group is encouraging their costumers to consume less water by fixing leaks, issuing hosepipe bans and employing water saving facilities such as eco-friendly shower heads. Eleven of the Environment Agency's fourteen areas are at drought status including: Devon & Cornwall, Isles of Scilly, East Anglia, Hertfordshire and North London, Kent and South London, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, East Midlands, West Midlands, Solent and South Downs, Thames, Wessex, Yorkshire.
The other three areas are classed as being in prolonged dry weather: Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire, North East, Cumbria and Lancashire."The record-breaking temperatures, unusually low rainfall and widespread drought the country has experienced this year are a reminder that we need to adapt to ensure our water supplies are resilient and secure in future."
