Have you heard any reason why West Moor drain is so low

I may be a bit of a cynic, but I wonder if the powers that be have miscalculated, I think they like a certain level of disaster, it helps them sell the whole "global warming" thing, which allows them to tax us in the name of green wash. I think there has be deliberate lack of action to allow a certain level of disaster, but its been way worse than they expected.

 

I could be wrong.

HI JOHN JONP may be your man to ask that to i do not no mate sorry but the rivers i seen today well was a eye opener theres no words you can say EGGS SEEN them as live link across then i try to help out but it not good down there it like the sea and wind down gail force 5/6 waves it was mad down there on tv it just not the same i seen 6 20" pumps pushing 10mt push a head out into the river the pump hose there was out of use thanks all jon

but when you see all the millions of square mtrs of roofs roads drives streets concrete tarmac etc in each county you can see how much flood water in each area has increased and the land to soak it up has decreased so water will stay on top

 

i may be wrong but there are the same number of rivers now as there was 100 years ago in simple terms each county needs two new water courses to sort out these problems which are looking to be a regular occurence

 

but back then they had water management plans that where done period so i think with less areas to soak up heavy rain and run off from man made surfaces

water management is more important now than back in the 1900's

 

they need to look at old methods of looking after the levels which worked for years and years when they did'nt have the technology and equipment we have now

mixed with new veiws and tried and tested ways in other parts of the world to get it right
