Ministers instructing water companies to conduct daily monitoring of reservoir and river levels and tougher water quality monitoring The Environment Agency to increase compliance checks on businesses that withdraw water from natural sources to ensure they are only taking permitted quantities of water The government said the change to severe drought status had been prompted by specific concerns for two major reservoirs, Ardingly in West Sussex and Wimbleball in Somerset.
部长们指示水务公司每日监测水库和河流水位，并加强水质监测 环境署加强对从自然水源取水的企业的合规检查，确保仅取用允许数量的水 政府表示，将严重干旱状态变更是出于具体的担忧两个主要水库，分别是西萨塞克斯的阿丁利水库和萨默塞特的温布尔鲍尔水库。

In its latest drought report, external it said reservoir storage had continued to fall at most reservoirs in England. The agency has granted South East Water and South West Water drought orders giving them permission to cut the amount of water sent from reservoirs to rivers by millions of litres per day.
在其最新的干旱报告中，外部报告称英格兰大多数水库的蓄水量持续下降。 该机构已批准东南水务公司和西南水务干旱令，允许他们每天减少水库向河流输送的水量数百万升。
Mark Rice, the Environment Agency area director for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, said "the importance of this move is that it pushes the day when further restrictions are needed, so they won't be needed at all across the winter period and that we're able to refill the reservoirs".
环境署德文郡、康沃尔郡和锡利群岛地区主任马克·赖斯表示："此举的重要性在于加快了进一步限制的到来，因此冬季期间完全不需要限制措施，我们能够重新注满水库。"
