Southern England had a very dry time from July to April, the driest it had been in 100 years. So it is being advised for residents to hold back on the water usage. Many places have seen an unusually dry time in England, because of this the river flows were not the same. Because of this there is less water put away for usage and this places a limitation on residents. Consumers just have to be mindful.

Key Takeaways:

• As the drought continues England has now seen the driest ten months on record.
• Rivers and aquifers are already at below average levels. Experts warn the drought could cause agricultural and ecological problems.
• While expansive water restrictions are not expected, people are advised to conserve water and to follow water restriction measures if they should be implemented.
