England's Environment Agency warns of possible 2027 irrigation curbs
Original: Environment Agency warns dry winter could trigger emergency irrigation curbs in 2027
The Environment Agency has warned that a dry winter could force emergency restrictions on irrigation in 2027, according to a report carried by Smart Water Magazine. The warning points to the risk that insufficient winter rainfall would leave water reserves too low to support normal agricultural abstraction, prompting emergency curbs on irrigation the following year.
Why now: Concerns over water scarcity and drought planning are mounting after warnings of a dry winter ahead.
