More now from National Drought Group chair Harvey Bradshaw who is calling on water companies to bear down on issues like leaks.

He's been telling BBC Radio 4's Today programme it is not just the public who need to re-think about how to use and consume water.

"We in the Environment Agency have teamed up with Ofwat and the Drinking Water Inspectorate to provide a regulatory alliance to encourage water companies to come forward with this infrastructure that we need.

"We’ve also produced a national framework that says this is the water we will need in 50 years time and this is where it might come from.

"We have got an exceptional set of circumstances which has led to this drought and we have all got a responsibility to play out now including, and principally, the water companies.

"So, yes, we expect water companies to bear down on leaks.

"We expect water companies to put in more pipes to connect their network and we are seeing evidence they are doing that."
