Autumn is when water resources normally start to be replenished but, despite recent rain, parts of the UK remain in drought status.

In our new blog post, we assess the current situation and look ahead to what might happen over the coming months https://t.co/RA164RFewT

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

Groundwater keeps the UK’s water supply flowing, but we need to ensure we monitor levels during dry spells. Learn how BGS & @UK_CEH is helping the UK protect & conserve groundwater as a defence against serious shortages during droughts.

[The Conversation @ConversationUK]

July 2022 was the driest July in England since 1935.

Combined with record breaking temperatures, we are hearing talk of a drought comparable to the great drought of 1976.

Two experts explain how this will affect the agriculture sector.
