Re: Drought summit as rivers in England dry up
I didn't say I was prepared to pay more. I was just saying that increasing prices usually fixes everything in this country.
I don't know how far we've got with fixing global warming since, maybe they've fixed it and forgot to tell us. |
Re: Drought summit as rivers in England dry up
not suprising due to lack rainfall but why oh why did they let all that snow melt back to the rivers.
Why do our gutters waste rainfall why not go to storage tanks for collection to replenish resevoirs. It makes no sense how backward this country is on water management. Resevoirs often in stupid dry locations net result is it evoporates and dries out. There not collection buts in afluent rainy areas which then could pipe water to top up resevoirs. Sure the Eco system in this country needs bringing into 21st century yes it will cost but all we do is fudge. |

Paying more for our water will not solve the problem in the short term - It will only make the share holders more profit. We should have a national grid for water, e.g. pipe it down from the North or Scotland, more underground aquifiers are required in the chalk downs of Sussex.
I live in the north part of Kent and I am supplied by Southeast water which has the majority of its water underground. I have noticed that most of our streams volume goes into the rivers which in turn goes into the sea. What a waste.... I believe that all the South-east is to be water metered by the end of 2014. Then watch the price go up and up and up just like the Gas and Electricity companies do!!! |

Re: Drought summit as rivers in England dry up
They're talking about this on Radio 2 right now, saying that water from Wales ought to be sent to the drought areas in England. The English callers who are in favour of the idea are saying there are no regions in the UK, instead we are a 'united country'. Funny they should have that view now that England needs something from us.
It's not such a bad idea really providing you lot pay for it, our free prescriptions need to be funded somehow ;) |
