Yorkshire Water to hold flood advice events
Lauren Murtagh, community coordinator for Living with Water, said part of the project was to raise awareness of flood resilience schemes being built in the area."We're delighted that so many event organisers and community groups have invited us along to their local summer events where we can share information and updates about our flood mitigation work," she said."As we are also experiencing the driest spring for 132 years, there will be lots of opportunities to find out about water saving tips too to help everyone use water wisely this summer."On Friday, Yorkshire Water introduced a hosepipe ban affecting more than five million people.The company said the region had experienced its driest and warmest spring on record with only 6in (15cm) of rainfall between February and June, less than half of what would be expected in an average year.Listen to highlights from Hull and East Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, watch the latest episode of Look North or tell us about a story you think we should be covering here.

Is it safe to travel to Spain? What to know after severe floods hit the country
Torrential rain and strong winds have caused mass flooding across the northeastern region of Spain, turning streets into rivers and damaging homes. Cars were captured on camera floating down the El Cardener River in Catalonia after it swelled, while other vehicles were completely submerged. Two people are reportedly missing after witnesses said they saw them fall into the Foix River in Cubelles, around 50km from Barcelona, with local reporters saying that the fire brigade believes they were swept away by the river. A search is being conducted to try to find the pair. Meanwhile, at least 71 patients were evacuated from a hospital near Barcelona amid the flash floods. The floods have affected popular holiday destinations such as Barcelona, Girona and Tarragona. Here's what you should know about the recent floods in Spain and the latest travel advice. Where in Spain has it flooded? Several holiday hotspots and residential areas were first hit by severe flooding at the end of last week, with alerts issued for regions such as Huesca, Teruel, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona, and Castellón on Saturday 12 July. The flooding has reached parts of northeastern of Spain, with some areas seeing 100mm of rain in one hour, the Spanish meteorological agency Aemet said. Red and orange warnings were issued by Aemet on Saturday, with warnings that the 'danger is extraordinary' and urging people to take extreme precautions. Residents in the Ribera del Ebro region were advised to refrain from travelling and avoid basements, cellars, and underground spaces over the weekend. Footage captured by emergency services shows some streets transformed into rivers, while vehicles were submerged by water after they were pelted by heavy rain and thunderstorms. By the evening on Saturday, the red and orange alerts were slowly downgraded until Aemet deemed that warnings no longer needed to be in place as the storm receded. Rain continued on Sunday, but not nearly as severe as on Friday and Saturday. Are flights to Spain disrupted? Flights in and out of Barcelona El Prat Airport have been running as normal over the weekend and into Monday, aside from a few cancellations to and from Manchester, Porto and Spanish domestic destinations. Sunday night saw some longer delays, including a 3.50pm Ryanair flight to Bristol that left at 7.15pm. One Delta Air Lines flight on its way to New York was forced to divert back to Barcelona on Saturday shortly after take-off due to damage to the aircraft caused by hail. 'The flight landed safely in Barcelona and customers were reaccommodated on alternate flights to their final destinations,' the airline said. If the cancelled flight is covered by UK law, passengers can choose between getting an alternative flight or receiving a refund. If the passenger received less than 14 days' notice of a cancellation, they may also be able to claim compensation. However, this is unlikely if the cancellation was not the airline's fault. Situations such as extreme weather, strikes or other 'extraordinary circumstances' are not eligible for compensation. Government advice on travelling to Spain As of Monday morning, there is no specific travel advice from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) regarding the recent floods. The FCDO does give general advice about flooding in Spain: 'Flash flooding can cause travel disruption and damage to property and infrastructure. Check weather warnings from Spain's meteorological office (AEMET) before travel and follow the advice of the local authorities.' Can I cancel my holiday and get a refund? As the Foreign Office has not warned against non-essential travel to Spain, there will be no special circumstances in place to be able to cancel a trip for a full refund. The conditions for cancelling your trip will be dependent on your holiday provider, so it's best to contact them if you're looking to postpone. There is no obligation for companies to refund bookings if you want to cancel, and you will not be able to claim travel insurance due to safety concerns unless the Foreign Office advice changes. In terms of travel insurance, some policies include natural disaster cover for an event that prevents you from reaching your holiday destination. Check your insurance policies and speak to your insurer to see where you stand.

Hosepipe bans hit more households - what you need to know
The first hosepipe ban for this year has come into effect across Yorkshire - and more are on the way in other parts of England. Yorkshire Water has put restrictions in place across the region, and there are bans coming in for Kent and Sussex in South East England and Swindon, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire in the coming days. It comes after a report by the Environment Agency (EA) said England as a whole is facing huge public water shortages unless "urgent action" is taken. It warned that the country faces a five-billion-litre-a-day shortfall for public water supplies by 2055 due to climate change, population growth, and environmental pressures. So when do the restrictions come into effect, what do they mean for affected households and what have water companies said? Yorkshire Water's hosepipe ban - officially called a Temporary Usage Ban (TUB) - affects any property that the company supplies with water. 1:56 The company said the ban does not apply to customers who receive wastewater services from Yorkshire Water, but clean water supply from another supplier like Severn Trent. Restrictions are due to be in place until groundwater stocks are back to where they need to be. In its guidance, Yorkshire Water says it "can't say for certain" how long this will take, as it depends on when the region receives significant rainfall, returning its reservoir levels to "a situation much closer to normal". Announcing the ban, Yorkshire Water's Mr Kaye said: "Introducing these restrictions is not a decision we have taken lightly, and we've been doing everything we can to avoid having to put them in place." In May, Yorkshire and the northwest of England officially entered drought after the driest spring in 132 years. From February to June, Yorkshire received just 15cm of rain, less than half what is expected in an average year. Where else will there be a hosepipe ban? South East Water has announced a hosepipe ban will be put in place for its customers in Kent and Sussex from 18 July. It says it will also "continue to monitor the situation" in the parts of Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire that it supplies. In a statement, the company said: "Demand for drinking water in Kent and Sussex has reached record levels since May - with the ongoing warm and dry weather, we're all using far more water than usual. "This situation has left us with no choice but to restrict the use of hose pipes and sprinklers, so we can help our reservoirs and underground water storage recover. It said it had "tried everything possible to avoid these restrictions" but added: "If we don't put a hosepipe ban in place now, there's a really high risk of customers experiencing widespread issues such as low pressure or no water." The same ban was implemented by South East Water in the summers of 2022 and 2023 as well. Thames Water has said another hosepipe ban will cover Swindon, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire from Tuesday 22 July. 2:27 The ban covers households with a postcode starting with OX, GL, SN and RG4, RG8 and RG9. Nevil Muncaster, strategic water resources director at Thames Water, said: "This has been a challenging spring and summer with big spikes in customer demand during hot dry days and very little rainfall to replenish local supplies in the Thames Valley. "Given the continued warm, dry weather we do not anticipate that the situation will improve any time soon so we have to take action now." What do the bans mean? They mean customers are prohibited from using hosepipes for things like watering a garden, filling a paddling pool, cleaning paths and patios or washing a car. Instead, they are being encouraged to use a watering can or bucket. Businesses are allowed to use a hosepipe if it is directly related to a commercial purpose. 4:39 But where water is central to businesses the ban doesn't apply. Garden centres and car washes, for example, are exempt. Anyone who breaches the ban without permission from the water company could be fined up to £1,000. Easy ways to cut water usage While the EA is urging water companies to manage demand and reduce water leaks, it has also issued advice to the public on how to limit their water use. Its tips include: • Shortening showers • Turning off taps when brushing teeth • Using full loads for washing machines and dishwashers • Collecting rainwater for garden use • Deleting old emails to reduce pressure on data centre servers. Water UK, the trade association for the water industry, said customers can start to help leave more water in the environment by making small changes at home and in the garden. These changes can include: • Reusing water in paddling pools • Use a scum ball in a home hot tub or spa to prevent the development of scum lines or foaming • Using a bucket to wash cars, or only washing the windscreen and mirrors on the vehicle • Keeping a jug of water in the fridge, so there is no need to run the tap until it turns cold.
