During 2006 there was a hosepipe ban and in some areas, a drought order; implemented because our reservoirs and rivers were drying up.
At the same time, ground-water levels beneath London were rising and threatening to flood the underground. Thames Water were pumping millions of gallons of water from beneath London into the River Thames every day to keep the rising water levels down.
These two facts appear to contradict each other, however it should be remembered that many of our public water supply boreholes in the south east are situated along chalk river valleys. During a drought, the rivers are not fed as usual and neither are the reservoirs. Pumping from the public water supply boreholes is therefore increased and this adds to the plight of our rivers by reducing the groundwater levels.
Hosepipe bans are designed to reduce the demand on our water resources to prevent our rivers and reservoirs from drying up. Another way of reducing the demand on our public water supply boreholes is for individuals to abstract water from beneath their own site. The total amount of water used will not increase but the demand on the public water supplies could be greatly reduced.
