We're the only European country. My continental colleagues find it very amusing. They all have robust systems where the water distribution is able to be pumped around the county or supplemented from other sources. Unfortunately the UK has not kept up with demand in the south east and has been made worse by the last 2 dry years. It's only going to get worse unless there is some serious investment.

Still, the forecast is for lots of rain over the next the few days - if it keeps it up for several weeks hopefully the local reservoirs and aquifers will top up!
