So, as the hosepipe ban kicks in, it's now suddenly pouring with rain.

#hosepipeBan now in force in #Oxford and beyond. Of course it's raining too.

and by the way, take #ThamesWater into #publicOwnership now

according to the radio news, people will be banned from washing their cars with a hosepipe, but professional car wash things can continue to waste water. How about a ban on all car washing? Let them eat dirt! also, renationalise #ThamesWater! #bancars #hosepipeBan

Still getting their bonuses though, still paying out to the Shareholders while neglecting infrastructure...

#ClimateDiary My miniscule, miniscule #ecoaction today: with a #HosePipeBan now in place here in the Southeast of the UK i finally connected our new water butt (which had been sitting next to the old, broken one for weeks). It won’t make much of a difference as v little rain forecast, but still.

[Please note: I am aware i did this badly. It is improvised until we do it properly. This is not a post asking for advice on how to fit a water butt properly 😊]

This shows the Yorkshire drought control line. If stored water capacity goes below this, then we have to revert to tankers and stand pipes.
Water capacity should be high until August (from the spring rains)
In 1995 the capacity dropped below this line in late August.
This year with no spring rain (15cm since Feb), we'll cross the line mid July... (historical the driest part of the year) ...
Bought myself a pump as a birthday present. Pumped two weeks' worth of gardening water from my well. Now I will find out how quickly groundwater refills it. #allotment #well #groundwater #HosepipeBan
