Looks like I’m in line for a hose ban from April 5th, being in the Thames Water area. (Not the only area). So what do I do to plan?

I already have a hose which goes right down the garden to the water butt at the bottom. This is only to fill the butt, which then serves a trickle system which varies from year to year, but puts the minimum amount of water in the right place.
This saves me carrying cans, which I can’t do much of.

I have another butt which was intended to catch rain water, so I must fix that up
And………I need loads of mulch.
I may not grow everything I was going to.
What else?

Long term weather forecast for May:
"May is currently expected to see high pressure often centred out to the west of the UK, with further higher than average pressure to the east of the country too, leaving the British Isles themselves in between the two. Another warmer than average month is forecast to be the outcome of this pressure pattern with rainfall widely close to average albeit with some locations potentially significantly wetter".
