Yorkshire Water hosepipe ban could be extended to businesses
The hosepipe ban imposed on Yorkshire Water customers could be extended to businesses as drought conditions continue, the company million of the firm's customers have faced hose restrictions since 11 July, amid a prolonged spell of warm and dry weather in the and businesses such as car washes are currently exempt from the ban, but Yorkshire Water said further restrictions were a possibility with little let-up in the warm Shaw, Yorkshire Water's head of water production, said: "We are working incredibly hard to avoid the need for that." A spokesperson for Yorkshire Water said reservoir levels had not increased since said: "Normally our groundwater sources and reservoirs get topped up over spring when the weather is changeable but this year we've had the driest spring on record and Yorkshire is officially in drought."Currently, businesses are allowed to use a hosepipe if it is "directly related to the use of water for commercial purposes".Discussing further restrictions, Mr Shaw said: "It's something we will follow closely in terms of how the weather conditions change [and] what the reservoir levels are like."It's still an option."Restrictions on water use for many come after the company increased bills by almost 30% in October, the Environment Agency reported that 21% of Yorkshire Water's supplies were lost due to leakage, higher than the national average of 19%."We get the fact it's a frustrating time for customers," said Mr Shaw."The increases are going towards a huge, huge investment programme we have got planned over the next five years."He said the programme included £8.3m of investment in "infrastructure and services to improve things like leakage and water quality".

Managing drought challenge at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal
Hot weather is once again beating down on the UK, with an official drought declared in regions including Yorkshire. Staff at a popular World Heritage Site explain how they're working "doubly hard" during the arid conditions."It can be really, really tricky," explains Bec Evans, general manager at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, which relies on water from the River Unesco-listed abbey and water garden near Ripon normally boast luscious greenery and shimmering ponds, with the scenery reflecting off the surface of the much of the grass is currently brown and some of its ponds are dry. This has ecological as well as aesthetic impacts, Ms Evans says."The water gardens are quite unusual in that they're fed from the river itself, so whatever the river is doing, it means our water gardens are doing too."As the flow of the water slows, algae forms on the surface, she adds, which in turn means the water "doesn't flow through the site as freely and then it causes all kinds of problems later down the line on the river". Also on the site is a deer park, with rangers working "doubly hard" to make extra welfare checks and provide more water for the animals, Ms Evans efforts are made to ensure staff, volunteers and visitors all have enough shade and access to drinking are being put in place each year to account for a "definite trend", she adds."Our summers are getting a lot hotter and our winters are getting a lot wetter."An extra challenge recently was unseasonable weather brought by Storm Floris, with the site among local attractions to close their doors for the Evans says the strong winds and heavy rain in August "caught us off guard slightly". Temperatures are forecast to reach the low to mid-30s in North Yorkshire on Wednesday, with a yellow heat health alert in place across Yorkshire and the to the UK Health Security Agency, this means the weather could cause "significant impacts" across health and social care Evans adds: "You really do have to keep an eye on the weather all of the time to make sure that you're able to look after the site and the visitors and the staff and the volunteers."However, there is "plenty of shade" on site, she says, including tents for children's activities to take place in, and artwork to look at indoors.

Wildfires fanned by heatwave and strong winds rage across Europe, burning houses and factories
PATRAS, Greece,/MADRID, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Wildfires caused by arsonists or thunderstorms and fanned by a heatwave and strong winds continued to rage across southern Europe on Wednesday, burning houses, farms and factories and forcing the evacuation of thousands of residents and tourists. Flames and dark smoke billowed over a cement factory that was set alight by a wildfire that swept through olive groves and forests and disrupted rail traffic on the outskirts of the Greek city of Patras, in the northern Peloponnese west of Athens. "What does it look like? It looks like doomsday. May God help us and help the people here,' said Giorgos Karvanis, a volunteer who had come from Athens to Patras to help. Authorities ordered residents of a town of about 7,700 people near Patras to evacuate on Tuesday and issued new alerts on Wednesday, advising residents of two nearby villages to leave their homes. On the Greek islands of Chios, in the east, and Cephalonia, in the west, both popular with tourists, authorities told people to move to safety as fires spread. In Spain, a volunteer firefighter died from severe burns and several people were hospitalised as state weather agency AEMET warned that almost all of the country was at extreme or very high risk of fire. The 35-year-old man had been attempting to create firebreaks near the town of Nogarejas, in the central Castile and Leon region, when he was trapped in the blaze, regional officials said. He was the sixth person to die this year in wildfires in Spain. Other victims include two firefighters in Tarragona and Avila, according to emergency services. Working in unprepared landscapes puts firefighters lives at risk, said said Alexander Held, a senior expert in fire management at the European Forest Institute. Authorities needed to make more effort to anticipate and prevent wildfires by creating buffer zones and clearing combustible vegetation, he said. "Take an industrial building and imagine there would be no fire detectors, no sprinkler systems, no fire protection doors and no escape routes – firefighters would just refuse to go in, but in our landscape we expect them to do this," Held said. The leader of the Galicia region in the northwest, Alfonso Rueda, called the situation there "complicated" and said the weather was not helping. Six active fires were affecting a combined 10,000 hectares (38 square miles) in Galicia's Ourense province. Spanish Environment Minister Sara Aagesen told SER radio station that many fires across the country were suspected to be intentionally caused by arsonists due to their "virulence". A male firefighter was arrested on Tuesday for fires started in the Avila area north of Madrid two weeks ago, while police said late on Tuesday they were investigating a 63-year-old woman for allegedly starting a series of fires in Galicia's Muxia area in August. Police have also identified a suspect who is believed to have suffered burns to his hands after starting a small fire in a beachfront development in the southern coastal Cadiz area, Europa Press reported. Thunderstorms have caused other fires. On Tuesday, shortly after 5 p.m., Andalucia's fire department was flooded with calls by residents alerting of a fire caused by a lightning strike on a chestnut and oak forest in Los Romeros, north of the city of Huelva. The fire prompted the evacuation of around 250 residents but was largely controlled by Wednesday morning. A blaze in Trancoso in Portugal that has been burning since Saturday took a turn for the worse during the night as a lightning reignited an area that was thought safe, the civil protection service said. In Albania, Defence Minister Pirro Vengu said it was a "critical week", with several major wildfires burning across the country. Some 10,000 firefighters, soldiers and police emergency units struggled with a total of 24 wildfires across the country on Wednesday, the defence ministry said. Flames reached homes in two villages in the centre of the country, forcing villagers to flee, taking their livestock with them. "We are going in the middle of two rivers because the fire has arrived," said Hajri Dragoti, 68, from Narte, who fled with his wife taking a cow, a donkey and a dog. "We can't do anything, it is like gun powder." Spain was in its 10th day of a heatwave that peaked on Tuesday with temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit), and which AEMET expected to last until Monday, making it one of the longest on record. Pope Leo moved his weekly audience from St. Peter's Square to an indoor venue in the Vatican, "to stay a little bit out of the sun and the extreme heat" as Italy's health ministry issued extreme heat warnings for 16 cities on Wednesday, with temperatures forecast to peak at 39C (102F) in Florence.
