‘Totally reliant on Mother Nature’: UK drought raises water security fears

Comments

1. Marek: this sounds like a pretty predictable consequence
2. Brunov: I've seen a few European documentaries highlight this issue and it breaks my heart to see real consequences of it now
3. Liam: i've always thought britain understated its environmental vulnerabilities in reports but this drought is really concerning for food security
4. Frost Sable: this is what happens when everyone thinks growth can just keep happening. reservoirs aren't refillable magic tricks
5. Mirage Wolf: unfortunately seems like the brits are being held hostage by a very unpredictable nature indeed
6. Adam: I'd trade all those Premier League games for some stable water supply right now
7. Mirage Serpent: can't believe the whole country's going by reservoir levels like that's even a sustainable solution
8. Leo: this has been quietly creeping up on us for years, haven't we? seems like the perfect storm is finally hitting our shores. what's being done in terms of conservation and adaptation
9. Felix: you're telling me we've got farmers who rely on freak heatwaves to water their crops?
10. Wraith Kite: I'd think a drought would be an easy problem to fix with some decent water management infrastructure, but hey being totally reliant on Mother Nature is a great way to put your farm out
11. Ariaf: seems like our reservoirs are just as temperamental as some weather forecasts
