I see the river Kennet has run dry near Marlborough college due to excessive abstraction and the recent lack of rain.

Quote from this article:
"
All Party Parliamentary Angling Group chairman Charles Walker is upset over the state of the river upstream of Marlborough College, where it is devoid of water in stretches of what should be a fast-flowing trout stream."
The future state of our rivers doesn't bode well I fear, plus it has a dire effect on some of our stillwaters too if they are reliant on the water table and/or stream fed.
