Farmers tackle fire as heatwave continues across Europe and water reserves dry out

Telegraph, 10 Aug 2022
British farmers battle a fire caused by scorching temperatures and dry condition in the countryside.

A village in Oxfordshire has become the first place in Britain to run dry in the latest heatwave, forcing residents to rely on deliveries of bottled and tanker water.

Northend, which straddles the border with Buckinghamshire, is supplied by the Stokenchurch Reservoir, which ran dry as demand spiked during hot weather.
