There is not enough water for washing and cleaning, although through careful controls, drinking supplies remain. Still Asda is making a roaring trade in bottled water. Shoppers have even fought over bottles and bought as many as restrictions would allow. Farmers cannot plough land because it is too dry and pig troughs have to be filled by hand.
