On average it supplies about half of New York City’s water needs. New York’s water supply is being threatened by huge leaks in an ageing underground aqueduct that travels 85 miles from the mountains upstate to feed the taps and shower-heads of the city’s eight million residents.
Alarm bells about the tunnel are being sounded just as the city and surrounding areas brace for what some experts warn could be its worst drought emergency in decades.Much of the north-east of the United States, from Georgia to Maine, is experiencing one of the warmest and driest winters on record.The concrete-lined tunnel, known as the Delaware Aqueduct, was opened in 1945. Philo is still finding her feet, but she may well be able to do just that.The Paris collections close tomorrow..

Again she spared well-heeled young women the world over the trouble of traipsing through flea markets in search of vintage good looks.
Philo is in her second season at the helm of the French house that is famous for its girlish, ultra-pretty dresses and neat, chic tailoring.
