UK drought leads to hosepipe ban

Seven UK water firms are introducing hosepipe bans in the south and the east of the UK. The bans come after two back-to-back dry winters. However, the UK's Environment Agency say that drought conditions could move further north. The drought area covers about 20 million people. Farmers are most worried about any possible restrictions as they have already planted less than normal.
