Each day millions of litres of water are being pumped into rivers to save wildlife and boost fish stocks at risk from the effects of drought. Presented by Anna Hill.
Each day drought stricken rivers and streams are being replenished by millions of litres of water taken from aquifers deep down under the earth. Wessex Water says it's scheme will help promote wildlife and support stocks of trout and salmon.
And as the recent mild weather has extended the season for some British grown vegetables, Anna Hill visits a small family owned farm in Norfolk which specialises in seasonal produce to discover what veggies will be on the shelves a little earlier than usual.
This programme was presented by Anna Hill and produced in Birmingham by Angela Frain.
