Water company warns customers to prepare for drought

The Telegraph reports that  forecasters are warning that a number of regions risk water shortages next year because reserves have not been replenished over the winter. "Despite the snow in December, reservoirs in parts of the South West are only two thirds full when they would normally be virtually at capacity at this time of year. Bristol Water said conditions in its area were even worse than those that preceded the great drought of 1976, and had not been drier for more than 75 years". Follow the link to read more.
