Drought Orders
- Question
- What assessment he has made of the effect of recent rainfall on the need for new drought orders in summer 2007.
- Answer
-
The UK has had six months of above average rainfall. The outlook for water supply is much improved and the likelihood of drought orders this summer is therefore low. However, we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
