More English regions are expected to join an official drought in North West and Yorkshire on Tuesday, which is drought on Tuesday after another hot and dry mantra of the season.
The announcement is likely to come after the national dried group – which manages the preparation of dry conditions in England – is found on Tuesday morning.
Declaration of drought means that water companies planned to manage water resources. This may include hospipe ban, but not always.
The environment agency states that dried natural weather patterns are inspired by the pattern, but the risks of water scarcity are increasing due to climate change and increasing use of water.
The national drought group is composed of environment agency, government, mate office, water companies and others.
There is currently no official drought in Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland does not declare drought, but monitors “water scarcity”.
Some parts of Eastern Scotland are in “moderate” scatter – the second most extreme grade – which means “clear” environmental impact.
There is no single definition of drought in England, but it is eventually due to a long period of low rainfall, which has a knocking effect for nature, agriculture and water supply.
England had its dry spring over 100 years, followed by three heatwaves in quick succession for some areas in June and July.
That intense heat has removed even more moisture from the soil.
So when you live today, it may rain, it is unlikely to be enough to bring back the water level across the country normally.
The Environment Agency (EA) declares drought in England on the reservoir level, river flow and prolonged weather forecasts as well as drying of soil.
Richard Thompson, Deputy Director of Water Resources in EA, said, “We definitely expect more areas,” Richard Thompson, Deputy Director of Water Resources in EA, said further details would be announced later on Tuesday.
According to the EA, in the “proper worst position landscape” – where regions get 80% of their long -term average rainfall – one and five areas in South England can enter drought conditions by September, according to EA, according to EA, Yorkshire and North West can join.
Current long -term forecasts suggest almost normal levels of rainfall over the next few months.
If further drought is declared, it does not mean that the hosspipe ban will be placed, but they can follow often.
Some areas, such as Kent and parts of Sussex, have already declared the hospipe ban, but are not in drought conditions.
EA warned England’s water supply last month By 2055 you can face six billion liters deficiency a day Without dramatic action, operated by rising temperature, population growth and other factors.
Climate change is expected to lead a average dryer summer, while more intense heatwave means that more water can lose through evaporation.
