La primavera più secca in 100 anni lascia il serbatoio di Tittesworth che sembra così

Residents are being urged to play their part in conserving water following the driest spring in more than a century as water bosses deal with a ‘developing drought’ situation in Staffordshire. The Environment Agency declared drought in the north west of England in May – before meteorological summer had even started – and the region covered by Severn Trent Water only saw around 39% of the average rainfall that would be expected in spring.

The dry conditions mean that Tittesworth Reservoir, near Leek, is currently at around 63% of normal water capacity. And across the area covered by the water company, overall levels are at around 76%.

Water shortages are going to be a major issue in this country within the next decade.

Seems like the reservoir banks are a little overworked, so it’s a saggy Tittesworth Reservoir.

And there’s no wind, so it’s a flat Tittesworth Reservoir.

It is big when it’s full, though, so maybe you’ll be looking at massive Tittesworth Reservoir in the near future.
