The recent news that drought could be on the horizon in the UK this summer, has got people thinking about ways we can conserve our water supply.
Climate change means that the UK is likely to experience warmer, drier summers – as well as wetter winters as the weather patterns in Europe shift as the climate heats up. This means that we may have to think smarter about ways we manage our water supply in the UK, as emissions continue to rise in many places despite the climate targets set.
While there are clearly changes that need to be made on a national level to ensure our water supplies don’t run too low, there are also changes that we can make on a personal level to help alleviate the problem.
