Drastic measures coming up to reduce water consumption? | VRT NWS: news

If it doesn't rain substantially (and regularly) in the short term, drastic measures may be taken soon to reduce water consumption. That's according to the Drought Commission: "Early September will be a critical point." There are no signs of any substantial or long-lasting rainfall; next week another dry and warm spell is expected. Talks with various sectors are being initiated to see where water can be saved.
