Water at a County Wicklow reservoir is at one of its lowest ever levels.
An unusually dry summer last year and a drier than average winter this year has resulted in a reduction in water levels at the Dublin Corporation reservoir in Roundwood, County Wicklow.
The reservoir which serves north County Wicklow and south County Dublin is currently operating as usual, but Dublin Corporation have not ruled out water conservation measures in the future, as problems could arise in July or August.
