在牛津郡,尽管最近下雨,但由于水严重短缺,水管的禁令仍在继续。 A hosepipe ban continues in Oxfordshire due to severe water shortages despite recent rain.

由于最近的降雨量严重短缺,在牛津郡大部分地区,包括泰晤士河供水区,水管禁令依然有效。 A hosepipe ban remains in effect across much of Oxfordshire, including areas served by Thames Water, due to severe water shortages despite recent rainfall. 2025年夏天是记录中最热的一年,过去六个月的降雨量下降到平均的不到一半,使河流和地下水水平极低。 The summer of 2025 was the hottest on record, with rainfall over the past six months falling to less than half the average, leaving rivers and groundwater levels critically low. 干土吸收了最近的大雨,限制了供养泰晤士河的地下供应的补充。 Dry soil has absorbed much of the recent rain, limiting replenishment of underground supplies that feed the River Thames. 泰晤士河水公司继续通过漏水修理、智能压力系统和需求监测来管理危机,敦促居民节水, Thames Water continues to manage the crisis through leak repairs, smart pressure systems, and demand monitoring, urging residents to conserve water—reducing a 10-minute shower by two minutes saves about 20 liters. 禁令对于确保水的长期可持续性仍然有必要。 The ban remains necessary to ensure long-term water sustainability.
