British supermarkets running out of water – customers panic
British people can buy a limited amount of bottled water, 3-5 bottles per person, but despite the restriction, supermarkets have run out of stock.

Drought does not automatically lead to restrictions on water use
Great Britain has officially declared a drought since June, due to the significant lack of precipitation: since June, the heat has been 35 degrees, hardly any rain has fallen, and the water in the Thames is extremely low.
Drought does not automatically lead to restrictions on water use. However, this will be an even greater burden for water providers: they must prohibit the use of sprinkler hoses. Car washing at home may soon be banned. If it doesn’t rain in the coming weeks, millions may be banned from even cleaning their windows.
Britons have already been asked to avoid bathing and take short showers, put less water in the kettle, wash only fully soiled clothes in washing machines and run the dishwasher no more than once a day. The population was asked not to barbecue, the firefighters were already very overburdened. So far, 17 million people have been notified that they are not allowed to water, and another 15 million people may be notified after that.
The government does not want water to stop flowing from the taps, as in 1976. Back then, people took water from street taps to meet their daily needs.
It was the driest July on record in parts of southern England, with reservoir levels falling to their lowest level in 30 years.
