‘You can see the water going down’: residents on edge as one of England’s worst-hit reservoirs dries up

The Ardingly reservoir in England is drying up, with its water level at just 19% full. This is a concern for residents, particularly after the UK's hottest summer on record. The low water level is a result of the prolonged drought, and it may impact the supply of water to the 95,000 properties in and around Haywards Heath and Uckfield in Sussex. This situation could have implications for the local economy and may lead to increased water restrictions.
