Scientists say this summer is predicted across the UK, with a greater likelihood of drought.
The latest news from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) says dry and warm weather is expected to put pressure on water resources in the next three months.
Hose bans and other forms of water ration, the longer the country will have less rainfall. Thames Water CEO Chris Weston said Tuesday he did not exclude restrictions.
James Wallace, CEO of River Operations, said: "This crisis is avoidable. But due to the company's greed and regulatory complacency, our reservoirs are drying and our rivers are contaminated by sewage. Instead of punishing the culprit, the government told customers that they would be fined £1,000 if they harmed the family.
"In May-July, rivers in most areas may continue to fall below normal levels, with current potential to continue to flow to currently low to unusually low in certain catchments," the UKCEH Hydrological Outlook wrote.
As other water sources decrease, farmers and water companies abstract the abstraction of the rivers, gradually lowering the waterways.
This can lead to unusually low river flow, which can lead to large-scale fish deaths and increase pressure on the river, especially if the water company continues to sprinkle sewage into it. Rivers throughout the year are already well below average, with almost every catchment in the UK below normal. UKCEH records show that some regions have the lowest traffic from October to March since records began in 1958.
There is no reservoir built in England for more than 30 years, which makes the country particularly vulnerable to drought. Reservoir levels are lower than those recorded after the driest spring season in parts of the country, and if dry weather continues as mentioned earlier, there may be water shortages, leading to hose bans and possibly other forms of ration.
The Guardian recently reported that to avoid drought, rainfall was needed at the last level in 2012, when record-breaking delug insects caused flooding across the country. It's hot and dry weather ahead.

If the prediction is correct, farmers will suffer for months, as the water level in the UK may still remain low throughout the summer. Farmers rely on this for irrigation, and low groundwater can cause crop disease.
Wallace said: “The UK may be heading for a drought, but for decades, when a self-privatised water company wasted 300 million liters of drinking water a day instead of investing in the infrastructure needed to cope with environmental change, we have put a full warning about risks, not to build a resilient business, your risk is both resilient and your insurance business, this is your insurance business, our business is both affluent and not applicable, this is your insurance business, our business is set, and we are all working to develop a prosperous situation.
