Uh, England by definition isn't Eurozone. You know, because they don't use the Euro and all.
Ridiculous response - they have drought happening all over the Western European area, and England is a Eurozone participant.
UK is EU MEMBER, not Eurozone participant.
Eurozone != EU

See, this is the problem: the free market should fix this by raising prices on water when the supply is low, but then proponents of the free market complain that the government isn't doing enough to keep vital limited resources affordable.
So instead of letting the market encourage people to use less, the people end up encouraging each other to use up their meager supply and as a society we say it's better to water the grass now than use those resources to sustain life (albeit poor life) in the future. Worse, it means we continue to careen towards depleting our resources at a faster and faster rate. The larger the subsidies get, the more important they become.
Scary.

i dont understand people obsessing aboot their lawns
I moved into a 60 year old home. It still has its 60 year old year centipede lawn that works just fine with barely any watering from me. All I have to do is kill off the weeds every couple years.
Sure, it isn't that ridiculous golf course greenery but... wtf do I care? I don't. I laugh every time I think about what the every-other-day sprinkler watering neighbors up the road are paying on their water bill. And trust me, in this city it is a LOT.

That is one time I dont mind...
This past summer when we had 100+ for like 60 days we had idiots watering their lawns at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I think every one of them should have been ticketed daily.
for watering their lawn, or for being stupid enough to throw millions of magnifying glasses onto their lawns each day, effectively causing more problems than they solved. F'ing tools. Water your lawn in the evening!

our drought has officially broken but we were under extreme drought conditions for the last 10-12 years and water storage for the city dropped to <22% capacity. The government enforced water restrictions and everyone said, yeah we kinda need water to survive so it makes sense.
we've had average rainfall in this last year and water has gone back up over 60% and the government was going to lift restrictions and everyone said no, we have enough water so its fine. so we kept stage 3 water restrictions, our guidance is to only use 155 litres per person/day. cant use a hose to water the lawn or wash your car etc.
no biggie, we're a pretty dry continent

I don't understand people who have a problem with governments regulating the use of limited resources.
You don't get to be a wasteful prick just because.
how is water a limited resource?
its renewable
theres more of it than all the people on the planet can possibley use in a single cycle.
theres more being created every day, thanks to global warming.
use as much as you want and stfu.
if you live in the desert, move. i have no sympathy for you in the same way i have no sympathy for those who built houses on a flood plain.

Equal use for the Rich and Poor - no watering the lawn (do poor people have lawns?).
This and more as the decision making for your daily lives gets regimented more every day by the Gov.
Mach Schell Mannegarm!
Don't think we will ever have problems with water in this country.. It's in overabundance, that law also has nothing to do with my nation.
and England isn't in the Euro Zone, so I'll drench my lawn as much as I please.
