💨 Abstract

A hosepipe ban has been implemented in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight due to critically low water levels. Southern Water, the utility company, is seeking cooperation to preserve water for both residents and the environment. The ban began at 9 a.m. today and customers face hefty fines for violations. The company stated the ban will be lifted once water sources are replenished. This ban comes as part of a broader trend across England, with other regions also facing similar restrictions.
