Reservoirs in England and Wales at record lows
Five key reservoirs in England and Wales are "exceptionally low" due to ongoing drought and extreme heat, threatening the public water supply. Reservoir levels have fallen significantly, with some below 50%, and total levels across the region are now nearly 14 percentage points lower than expected for this time of year. Authorities warn that persistent dry weather could cause serious water shortages into autumn and winter if rainfall remains limited, and current infrastructure investments have not kept pace with increasing climate extremes.
