My GREAT country isn't like that... its as rainny as USA is the Fattest country... It's just a stereotype... And we have had pipe bans for the last 10 odd years... they always moan about it on the tv.. yet I don't think anyone actually bothers to listen to them...
I would hazad a guess as to say we will have them again next year... Its all due to that Diana fountain... Wasting all that water....
The problem is that the south, and especially the south-east, is very dependant on underground aquifiers for water supply.
These aquifers only fill if there is rain in winter and early spring, because in the warmer months the water evaporates before it reaches them.
As it has been dry all winter, the chances are that water will run very low in summer as there will be few reserves.
Whilst the North, and Scotland, has all the water it will ever need. There is the start of an agrument that we should maybe create a national water grid.
