Water Reserves
According to British Waterways the state of the reservoirs are set out in the following table.
The canals we hope to travel this year are in blue.  From which you can see that they are mostly at the lowest level for March ever recorded.  However, due to the conservations measures which have been introduced they are improving a little.
