People in Wales asked to shower for no more than four minutes as drought nears

An expert at Natural Resources Wales has called on people to take shorter showers and re-use their washing up water in their garden to conserve water as supplies run low.

We spoke to Tracey Dunford, a lead specialist advisor for water resources, about the drought risk in Wales, whether we'll see more water-saving measures and if the people of Wales should be worried about water resources as the warm weather continues.

Last week, it was announced that a hosepipe ban would be implemented in Pembrokeshire and parts of Carmarthenshire later in August. This means that residents in parts of these counties cannot use water to water their garden, fill paddling pools or wash their cars. You can find out more about this restriction here.
