The UK’s driest start to spring in 69 years has seen water levels in reservoirs drop, including here at Woodhead Reservoir in Derbyshire. Woodhead is one of several reservoirs that supply water to north-west England, and these are now at just 69 per cent capacity, compared with 90 per cent at the same time last year. The low levels are raising fears of drought conditions over the summer.
