💨 Abstract

Millions in the UK are now under hosepipe bans due to prolonged dry weather and low reservoir levels. Restrictions have been ordered by several water companies, including Thames, Yorkshire, and Southern Water. The bans aim to preserve water and protect the environment, with fines for non-compliance. Despite efforts, significant water loss occurs due to leaks, causing customer frustration.
