A few months ago the doom and gloom merchants were predicting droughts
for Summer 2004 if rainfall totals weren't 20% above average by the
end of January, etc.

Okay, so it's not the end of Janauary yet, but how are we doing now on
a local basis, ie north, south, east, west England, Wales, Scotland,
etc?

Are reservoir levels back up to what they should be, and if so where
are/aren't they?

A report on Radio Sheffield this evening suggested that reservoirs in the
area were back to capacity. Those in the Yorkshire Water area that is.
Ladybower, which is Severn Trent, is still way down.
A Yorkshire Water spokesperson seemed to suggest that this was as a result
of water saving measures introduced after the last drought.
Nothing to do with the recent rain then.......
