More of England expected to enter drought status after hottest June on record | Drought
The registration has been expected to enter the drought this summer after 1884 after 1884 June.
The three heat waves, which tend to increase water consumption, are combined with the lack of rain, means that the large areas of England are directed towards the status of drought and the damage given to the requirement of the required environment.
Met Office and Environmental Agency officials, journalists in a briefing, this summer they expect more Hosepipe bans to enter into force. Richard Thompson, Deputy Director of EA Water Resources, said the agency has printed water companies to put into effect drought plans, including Hosepipe bans.
The authority confirmed that more regions are expected to enter the status of drought and that the affected areas will be confirmed on Tuesday.
On Monday, Thames Water, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wildshire announced a Hosepipe ban for households. Yorkshire water and the South East water have already fulfilled temporary prohibitions.
While the north-west of the Yorkshire and the UK is officially in the status of drought, the northeast, East Midlands, West Midlands and Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Surrey, most of them, are under the drought, long-term dry weather.
Authorities, water companies with the EA of the preliminary negotiations about drought permits, he added. These permissions allow water companies to produce more water than usually allowed from the environment in exceptional cases. EA tries to avoid giving these permissions, because it can seriously damage rivers and other water environments, especially when the river flows are already low.
Martin Salter, President of the Policy at Angling Trust, said: “The UK has been completely insufficient for generations without a serious provision for water resource planning, climate change and population growth in the UK. The reservoir building is very high and as a result, as a result, it is always in depth. Drowning and wild life is dying.”
Since 1992, the water sector has not been completed in the UK shortly after the privatization of the water sector, and water companies have leaked approximately 3 billion liters a day through faulty pipes.
A turning point report from Met Office found very hot days and destructive heavy rains at the increasing frequency as a result of climate deterioration.
The abstraction of water to irrigate the crops of farmers was banned and the grass dried in many areas, that is, they had to use winter oath for their animals.
Stuart Sampson, a water resource manager in EA, said that dry spring means that farmers began to irrigate their crops early and use abstraction licenses throughout the year. He added that root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and onions may suffer as a result of drought.
Since river flows are extraordinarily low, there have been many fish deaths, low oxygen levels mean drowning fish. Hot conditions, rivers and lakes throughout England causes harmful algae flowers and the ducts that feed the channels are in the worst situations for 20 years, he added.
Lucy Barker, a senior hydrological analyst at the British Ecology and Hydrology Center, said rivers are as low as the country’s worst droughts.
“The extremely dry air of spring continued in June and continued in the east of England and resulted in lower-or less extraordinary low flows seen in droughts such as 1976, 2018 and 2022. In June, wet air, some improvement in river flows and soil moisture levels in the west, if not more likely, is not more likely to be exceeded. in places.
