Update 12 August: A drought has been officially declared across the whole of South Eastern England, including London. Residents have been urged to be mindful of the pressure on resources and told they should use water wisely.

As a result of the UK having experienced one of its driest summers on record, particularly in the south of England, Thames Water has announced that it will be bringing in a hosepipe ban — officially called a temporary use ban — in the coming weeks that will impact 15 million customers throughout London and the southeast of England.

There has been less than 10% of the usual rainfall recorded across much of the south-east of England which has dramatically reduced water in waterways and reservoirs.

Under the restrictions, some of which could last until October, people will be banned from using hose pipes to water their gardens, fill swimming or paddling pools, or wash their cars.

Climate change means we will see drought and high temperatures more frequently, so longer-term we must all play our part to help, by reducing the amount of water we use, to ensure it does not run out. With the current cost of living crisis in mind, one positive aspect is that by reducing your water usage,  you will also save money.

Top tips for saving water:

Households can use Thames Water's free water saving calculator (external link) to work out how much water and energy they are using and receive tailored advice on how to save.
