Half Of England Enters “Serious Drought” | Rivers Run Dry As Fourth Heatwave Hits Europe | VERTEX
Video Overview & Insights
England faced a deepening water crisis as relentless heat and almost no rainfall pushed half the country into serious drought. On July 29, authorities warned that July was on track to become England’s driest month on record, just months after devastating winter floods. Reservoir levels were falling, rivers were running dangerously low, and millions faced hosepipe restrictions across seven regions. Southern England received barely 1% of its expected rainfall, while parts of Devon went 50 days without rain. With temperatures forecast to reach 35°C, scientists warned that worsening soil moisture was increasing pressure on wildlife, water supplies and wildfire risk. England’s fourth heatwave of the summer had turned a wet winter into a rapidly escalating drought crisis.
And while this is taking place, you're being invaded.

@EjejeekdBout time
@macalister8881Praying for all Black ppl n POC there. Their karma tends to wrap us up into it all. Their response to the truth here and anywhere, defensive responses and ignorance of truth always proves points more than what they are ever wasting air saying. Lord just take them n let us get out the way.

@KannanK-w5iThey must start praying for rain, because it is only God who can intervene here.
@tirzhaprinsloo2774Maybe this is a new chance to geht together and build a netter future. No Time left for old kindergarten fights.
@CHWetterfreundGreedy water companies were setting down in to the money whiteout investing and now they are crying

Y'all should've stopped killing and causing genocide upon earth
When I was a child, that's 60 years ago, we had a drought in the part of Mexico I'm from. The river dried up. People f et o the village next door didn't have food. They would come around to get as much as they could from my village. It was sad to see the situation.
@jesussalas9262There 10 million people who shouldn't be here then we would have enough water regardless of drought
@RussellHarness-d1lSo let me get this right you're an island surrounded by saltwater. But apparently don't have enough desalination units and reverse osmosis systems to produce potable or potable water? Smh. Many Brits go to Bahrain Saudi Arabia quite another places in the Middle East whom all draw salinated water from the Persian Gulf Waters but have desalinization units. So again Britannia when you're surrounded by water, how is it that you have a water problem? I've got my guesses but that's a political answer for another day.
@marka2721Don't worry, the private companies responsible for the supply already have their shares up.
@jorgefigueira1255Why do we keep fighting wildfires? we should save the water for domestic use, smoke clouds, cool things down, and smoke particulates encourages rain to fall. 🤔 isn't that what we need?
@steveroberts512What's this Britain drought shite. It's England and specifically the se of England. Fckn English shite in their rivers and fckn English shite in their broadcasts
@davidhamilton7020They decided to turn their back on God and become a Muslim country and thus are getting the climate conditions associated with Muslim countries 🤗
@cornebodPlease send more money and weapons to the cocaine ADDICT in Ukraine and support US in dropping more BOMBS on Iran. That is completely fine...Ach before I forget, keep building those massive AI centers consuming miliions of litres of water each month... that will definitely help !
@skodateamPeople are dieing from these heatwaves.
And what is the government doing.?
Helping migrants settle in England
There is an incredibly right and left wing blindness. The left wing blindness is to immigration. They ar ina state of total denial. The right wing blindness is to climate change. Also state of total denial. People please-accept the evidence of your senses. Immediate measures should include banning smoking in cars, (cigraettes thrown out of windows major fire hazard-confirmed in FRance) stop cutting long grass in hot weather. Stop immigration now make a drastic cut in building programmes and road programmes only build when absolutely necessary.
@MrYorickJenkinsWhen I look at what is happening in countries affected by war, I can't help but wonder if these are the consequences of humanity's choices. In my view, too many leaders remained silent while innocent civilians, including children, are killed in Gaza. Instead of prioritizing peace, they continued supplying weapons that fueled more destruction. Today look what is happening to their country.
For too long, humanity has chosen war, profit, and power over protecting nature and human life. We have exploited the Earth for money while neglecting the environment that sustains us. I believe we are now witnessing the consequences of those choices. 🔥🔥. Now each of one are wondering what is happening to them.
As a Native American proverb says:
"Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish has been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize that we cannot eat money."

Hmm. Britain imports 50% of its food. And as your domestic production declines with drought and fertilizer and fuel, it is likely that the countries that keep you fed will have less surplus to send you.
@freeheeler09Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: Repent, repent, and prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand;
11 Yea, repent and be baptized, every one of you, for a remission of your sins: yea be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.
12 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and remember that they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved; ⚠ Doctrine and Covenants 33:10-12
As I have claimed since the late 60s, stop burning fossil fuels. I didn't get any points in the engineer high school because I said that in an exam, the teacher said we should build orbitals around the cities; my thought was that car exhaust comes from all over the world and disturbs the atmosphere...but no...I didn't even get a half point for my answer...I actually asked.
@janedvinssonHow're they going to feed the most peaceful freeloaders landing daily from dinghys
@beggaristanmrpaki-f8iI can't believe it! We get drought. We live in the middle of the ocean
@user-hc2vy4zs9sIt's because of these scenes that our political leaders do everything wrong. They know if they don't impoverish their countries, more of this will happen.
They stick with the agenda to save their countries from burning to the ground.
The real people in power have geoengineering. With that they can wage weather warfare.

Build more reservoirs!!!!
@PaulaHicks-hb5srPedo Islands, release the King Charles files.
@HunterBiden-k6sWell documented , i hope God will help the UK once again !
@Don_TorelliThis is nothing. It was way worse in 1976.
@lakerboy72People often ask why water companies haven’t just built loads of reservoirs. The reality is more complicated.
Water companies don’t simply decide where to spend money. Their investment plans have to be approved by regulators, who require them to show they’re choosing the most cost-effective solution for customers. Historically, that has often meant prioritising options like reducing leakage, transferring water between regions, or improving existing infrastructure before building new reservoirs.
On top of that, a new reservoir can take well over a decade to deliver because of planning, environmental assessments, land acquisition and consultation. Reservoirs also have significant environmental impacts, such as flooding habitats and changing river flows, so they face rigorous scrutiny from environmental regulators and planning authorities.
None of that means reservoirs aren’t needed. In fact, many are now being progressed because climate change and population growth mean we need more water storage. But it’s misleading to suggest water companies could simply have built them whenever they wanted.
And before calling for nationalisation, remember that many of the rules on investment, spending, environmental standards and planning are set by government and its regulators. Changing who owns the water companies wouldn’t automatically remove those constraints. 😂

Remember the regulators that set the budgets standards and regulations are the great government so think before nationalisation lol 😂
Everyone please pray for rain.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌧🌧🌧🌧☔☔
@lakerboy72One extreme to another. When it does rain, people's homes get flooded. All that beautiful water, purified by the evaporation/condensation process, returning, unimpeded, back to the salty sea from whence it came. The lack of preventative measures to retain that water results in the other extreme....potable water shortage. The next time you sit on a riverside bench, watching that life-giving water returning to the salty ocean, you might think "It's a pity we can't store it in some way for the summer months" Is it really beyond the wit of Man to do this?
@ElectroRiderSNIt's riddiculouse. The water companies are doin a number on us all. The river Trento fills up from Staffordshire there's loads of it. The river Severn, Sea all around us & they could have built desalination plants decades ago for us all. The docks at Docklands & the water companies sold off 2 reservoirs, land filled them & built houses on them & since then the government's been flooding us with other nations people. As I say these water companies , the capital venturists & the city of London are doing a number on us all, just to make a fortune for private companies that want the population to pay drop by drop for water,, it's a disgrace & the water they sell you all's chap. I fell out with the managing director of Thames Water a decade or so ago. These managing directors of these water boards & their boards of directors all need a bloody hard slap or all sticking in stocks on village greens & in parks where we can all throw old buckets of rotting veg at them they do & then send them all to prison & we ought to do the same to ones who were all responsible for ones who worked for these companies too & not just the ones in situ at the moment.
It will be difficult i know, but it seems we need to somehow re nationalise the lot. It's not a commodity for making profit from, it's fuggin water UK ffs.
Frankly it seems to me like the city of London's square mile just needs to be blown up the rotten lying cheating bunch of blagging b!tches, Metaphorically speaking of course. The Banksters & all of these institutions including Parliament & the House of Lords are corrupt & I think the bank of England should be shut down & the owners & board of it fully investigated, because it doesent serve the people of England at all,, it just robs us all.
In 2009 i was a young lad, i was 16 and i saw a snippet on this newspaper and it said like by 2100
That Britain will be dryer than the sahara and i just chuckled, guess whoever wrote that piece knew something we didnt
This is the best climate we’ll realistically have in our lifetimes.
@richardzimmermann9372All of Dubai and Saudi isn't even near a drought. Give it a rest! Water companies stop paying share holders and get your issues resolved.
@JonathanM-i2u8vA 'dry' England, who would've ever guessed?
@WarHawk-There are some countries that shoot something up into the sky to make it rain. AI says it is called CLOUD SEEDING. But we can't do that?
