Drought in the UK??

Ieard o the news that the uk might ave a Hosepipe ban and even standpipes in the streets due to lack of water.

How can this be, it must be one of the most rainiest countries in the world.

It's just not raining in the south. It's been cold lately but very dry indeed.

God must be punishing the UK too.........

Yeah, the weather down in the south east has been a bit off lately... we need some April showers to save us firefirefireph

Must be Armageddon!!!!!!

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....

You're all gonna die!!!!!!!!!!!

Beg others for assistance.

Sorry, your little pic thing does not show here..............Just back out.

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.

Water way to start the year eh?

actuallly the USA is the fattest country per capita🙂 in the world
