People in England urged to curb water use amid driest conditions since 1976
People in the UK were urged to curb the use of water because the country faced the dried conditions since 1976.
Officials are preparing to declare drought in August if dry conditions continue, after months of very low rainfall in the UK.
Farmers will be told not to irrigate the fields, causing fears of plant failure, and people tend to face the prohibition of local hoseps. The reservoir is in the lowest position in some parts of the country, where it rains below average for months.
On Tuesday the National Drought Group of the Environment Agency (NDG), consisting of agricultural groups, environmental experts and representatives from government agencies, meeting to discuss the response. They will meet in October but the meeting was moved forward because of a drastic condition.
Harvey Bradshaw, Executive Director of the Environmental Agency for the Environment and Chair of NDG, said: “While the extreme high temperature last week is now behind us and there is currently no plan for restrictions on the use of important water, we can all slightly reduce the consumption of unnecessary water And following the advice of our water company to ensure this is still happening while our river is very low.
“The Environmental Agency Team … imposed an initial stage of our drought plan in many parts of the UK to protect people’s access to water and preserve the environment.”
Stuart Colville, Director of Policy for the UK Water Trade Agency, said: “Sustainable warm weather in most countries following the dried winter and spring since the 1970s. The water company has a detailed plan to manage water resources for customers and the environment, and do everything they can, including cooperating with the government and regulators to minimize the needs of any boundaries and ensure the river continues to flow.

England faced drought in August after extreme heat
When we continue to see a very high request, we urge everyone to carefully consider the amount they use given the conditions that have never happened before. The water industry runs a national water saving campaign called water’s worth saving which gives public instructions and useful tips on how to do their bits with the use of water at home. “
However, it has been shown that a lot of water waste does not come from domestic homes but leaks from dark water infrastructure. Nearly 3 billion liters of water leaked every day in the UK and Wales.
The Farron team, a spokesman for the LIB DEM environment, said: “Britain faced the worst drought since 1976 and the ministers could not be found. The government must transport water companies to Downing Street and demand that they repair all leaky pipes as soon as possible. There is no second to waste. “
Jim McMahon, Secretary of the State Shadow for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said: “Toreies have led the crisis in our neglected water system that struggled to meet demand. The aging system is now at the point of bursting. We cannot continue as it is, with 1,245 swimming pools of water-sized water-sized water lost due to leaks and torments that allow water companies to continue to pump raw waste into rivers and coastal waters for millions of hours “
“It is the negligence of the task rejected by the government to listen to labor calls for higher fines for water companies, proper annual parliamentary supervision of defra, partwats and environmental agencies, as well as appropriate strategies to clean our waters.”
