In case you don't already know there is major problems in the UK in the South East with water. Apparently (according to adverts on the radio from the water companies) we have had less rain than places like Dallas in the last year! Maybe its climate change or just weather systems but we have not had enough rain to fill all the underground water ( Read more... )
