A Refilling of England's Reservoirs Seems Unlikely

Last year, farming in England was seriously disrupted by Summer water shortages. 2023 has now featured the driest February since 1993. Little rain is also forecast for this coming Spring (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/01/driest-february-england-signals-drought-ahead-experts). The UK's reservoirs have not been refilled by Winter rains. Another drought seems a strong probability. This will impact on fresh food production, at a time when there are already shortages and substantial price increases in UK supermarkets.
