one of those is thirlmere in the lake district and it is farfrom bringing.drive under way now to really get the message out there, please, can people think about using water more cleverly. people might get a bit confused, is this a serious situation or not and if it is, why don't you just be part ofa if it is, why don't you just be part of a hosepipe ban, for example?‘ hosepipe ban could be imminent. if we don't bring the demand down to water, they be the next step and it could be within days or weeks. in northern ireland, they've had one already but the rest of the uk, not crisis time yet the pressure is on to keep the pressure up. water uk represents the industry and says some areas have been using 30% more water. while companies like southern and severn trent have had to increase above normal levels. that's what been happening here. we've had to put an additional half a billion litres of water into supplies that is about 25% more than we would usually at this time of year and we think that is largely because people are using more water things like garden

the lakes line in the lake district is running a full service.ow is it all looking? we have seen some delays and cancellations already this morning. i arrived at about 5:30am to be greeted by the words northern apologise for the cancellation of a service, but the cancellations have not been as bad as in recent weeks. that new timetable was introduced last may and it caused chaos with lots of cancellations and last—minute delays. in june, cancellations and last—minute delays. injune, last month, northern introduced an interim timetable to make the service more reliable, and they took out 168 services to do that. basically they didn't have enough drivers to run the trains they wanted to run because their training programme had been overrunning because of problems with electrification work. the interim timetable caused its own problems at the northern powerhouse partnership has today released a partnership calculating that in all, the railway delays have cost businesses in this pa rt delays have cost businesses in this part of the world £37 million

water levels at haweswater in the lake district are so low that the long—ago flooded village of meldon visible. in response to these pressures, many have already been doing their bit. what are we doing to save water? well, we are not watering plants, that's for sure. we shower together now! we just water the plants in the evenings using the waste water out of the bathroom. i got an e—mailfrom united utilities saying to stop having baths and stuff and i thought i would do my bit by not pampering myself on a sunday. now united utilities is going further. they will bring in a hosepipe ban that will affect around seven million customers in the north—west, and it comes into place on august 5th, all because we are enjoying the longest heatwave since 1976. back then, so bad, tarmac melted on the roads. water was rationed. and the government created a ministerfor drought, here in the crisis centre, manning the phones, taking complaints. there's a sprinkler system operating where? at a riding school? i see. and you feel something should be done about that? of course. and hundreds of complaints
