💨 Abstract

Southern Water has imposed a hosepipe ban in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight starting Monday. The ban prohibits activities like watering gardens and washing cars. This follows similar bans by Thames Water, South West Water, and Yorkshire Water, affecting millions across the UK. The measures aim to conserve water, with Southern Water's managing director urging collective effort to ensure water supply for both customers and the environment. Several areas will be under these restrictions by the end of the week.
