Exceptionally low river levels raise fears over water supplies

Low river levels across the UK raise concerns about water supplies due to exceptionally dry conditions, prompting warnings from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. The country faces medium drought risk, impacting households, farmers, and businesses. With the driest spring since 1961 and the possibility of worsening conditions, measures like water restrictions and reservoir building are being considered to mitigate the effects of the ongoing dry spell.
