Call You and Yours: UK officially in a state of drought
Water companies in southern and south eastern England are introducing hosepipe bans. Julian Worricker hosts a phone-in on drought in the UK.
This has been the second driest winter for 12 months in some areas of the UK. Hosepipes and sprinklers will be banned for domestic customers in Kent and Sussex from April 5.
On Call You & Yours we'll be talking about drought, and asking why for a country known for its rain we can't sort our shortage of water out?
Do you live in a drought area? Or perhaps you come from a place with a high rainfall and don't understand what the fuss is about? Should the water companies themselves be doing a better job of conserving supplies or should they be transporting it around the country?
If you want to have your say, you can email youandyours@bbc.co.uk, text 84844 and we may call you back or call 03700 100 444. Lines open from 10am on Tuesday. You can also tweet @成人快手Radio4 #youandyours.
