Jeremy Clarkson’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, defies the drought with lush green lawns thanks to a secret underground water source—a borehole drilled 100 meters deep. While most areas are under hosepipe bans, this groundwater loophole lets him keep his grass thriving, even as surrounding fields wilt. He joked about Sir Rod Stewart possibly using the same trick. But it’s not all smooth: his first borehole turned up toxic levels of manganese and sulfates, forcing him to switch to natural springs on his farm. Whether he still uses that failed borehole for the pub remains unclear, but it’s a clever—and slightly risky—solution in a parched landscape.
