All the latest water levels at Severn Trent Water reservoirs as reserves fall to lowest point of the year

Storage levels at reservoirs in Severn Trent Water's region were at 79.1 per cent of capacity on Monday (May 19). The figure is the lowest of the year so far and since November 18 last year when overall capacity stood at 78.7 per cent.

Severn Trent said its maximum reservoir capacity is 247,708 ML (million litres). However, the current water level in its reservoirs stands at 196,022 ML.

The Environment Agency has warned of a "medium" risk of drought in England this summer without sustained rainfall. It comes after the country experienced its driest start to spring, in March and April, in 69 years.

Although the regulator said there are no hosepipe bans planned, it warned that water companies may have to implement measures including restrictions in the months ahead. 

Below is a list of Severn Trent's reservoirs and their water storage level that was reported on May 19. Although Severn Trent does not have any reservoirs in Shropshire, several are situated in nearby counties and across the border in Wales.
