FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Over 35 million people are now living in the drought-hit areas, with water shortages spreading over seventeen more counties, meaning the Midlands and South-west have been added to the already drought-affected South-east and East Anglia.
While the hosepipe ban for 20 million people has not yet been broadened, emergency plans are being outlined as the Environment Agency admitted that the UK would face a third dry winter this year, with the drought possibly lasting until Christmas.
During the drought of 1976 standpipes were placed in residential streets, water supplies to businesses were rationed, and schools had to close early.
The Environment Agency stressed that the same steps were not likely to be enforced this summer, but declared that the dry conditions would damage the environment and necessitate widespread water restrictions.
“The lack of rain is taking its toll on the environment and farmers – causing problems for wildlife, wetlands and crop production,” a spokesman said.
“Companies and consumers must all play their part by using water wisely to help conserve supplies.”
Caroline Spelman, the Environment Secretary, urged households to reduce the amount of water they use, “As more areas of the UK move into drought it is vital that we use less water to protect the public’s water supply in the driest areas of the country.”
“It is for everyone to share the responsibility to save water. We are asking everyone to help by using less water and starting now,” she added.
Local councils will hold crisis talks with the Environment Agency and water companies to work out ways to irrigate public flowerbeds and hanging baskets that is usually done by volunteers.
