hosepipes
Flexible water conduits
Hosepipes is the British term for what Americans call garden hoses—flexible tubes for conveying water outdoors, typically for watering plants or washing cars.
The word appears frequently in British news during droughts, when authorities impose hosepipe bans restricting household water use.
