National Drought Group steps up response after third heatwave

The National Drought Group is a collaborative body that brings together representatives from various government departments, water companies, and other stakeholders to coordinate responses to droughts and water scarcity in the UK. Its actions are guided by the UK's drought plan, which outlines the steps to be taken in response to drought conditions, including measures to conserve water and mitigate the impacts on the environment and agriculture. The group's decision to step up its response reflects the growing concern about the prolonged hot and dry weather.
