    Hosepipe ban warning after early hot weather



    The warm weather may be a welcome change after the winter, but after the driest March in 50 years, Britain could soon face water shortages.
    England and Wales received only 21mm of rain last month, a third of the long-term average, according to the Environment Agency.
    The situation was especially bad in East Anglia, which is home to a large amount of the country's agriculture and uses a lot of water for irrigation.
    The lack of rain means water reserves are in danger of running low. In the South West, Bristol Water has been forced to pump water from the Severn to conserve its reservoirs.
    The company's main source, Chew Valley Lake in Somerset, is 20 per cent below normal levels for this time of year.
    Water companies are closely monitoring the situation in case a hosepipe ban needs to be brought in, with warnings of another summer like 1976, when weeks of blazing heat caused reservoirs to run dry.
    The Met Office said the fine weather would continue over the weekend, giving water firms further cause for concern, even if it will be a relief to many starting the Easter holidays.
    However, there is a north-south divide, with rain expected in northern England and Scotland even having flood warnings.

      I do not take it as a warning, but not good for a pal.
