Most reservoirs in England low, Environment Agency warns
Original: ‘Most’ reservoirs in England notably or exceptionally low, says Environment Agency
The Environment Agency says most reservoirs in England are at notably or exceptionally low levels, underlining the severity of the country's water situation. The warning raises concerns about water supplies for households, farming and industry, and is likely to intensify debate over drought measures such as hosepipe restrictions and long-term water management planning.
Why now: Ongoing dry weather and water shortage concerns are putting reservoir levels in the news.
