Floods

[brionon]

There are Pumps pumping millions of Gallons of water -but Where are they pumping it to ??

[Gromit]

France.

[Old_Jim]

Into rivers that take it to the sea. There are only a limited number of places where this is effective. If the river has burst its banks, there's no point pumping water round in circles.

[DrFilth]

this is what happens when you dilute something

[seadogg]

They look good though.

[ludwig]

Surely If everyone just left all their taps running we could get rid of some of the surplus.

Has a hosepipe ban been announced yet?

[youngmafbog]

Don't worry twix, it's the wrong type of rain so the ban will still be in place in the summer.

Where to pump it to? Next poor s*d down the river usually.

Apparently there is the same amount of water on earth and earths atmosphere as there was when it was first formed - it's just all in a different place. I'm a mine of totally useless information, me.

Back in the 60's we lived in a house where the back garden flooded (nowhere near a river) so my dad just dug a ditch at the end of the garden. Result; next year the neighbors where out digging theirs.

So perhaps this is what people should do. Take their destiny into their own hands and stop waiting for others to do something for them and for nothing.

yes thats a fact "supposedly",were drinking the same water as once the dinosaurs drank and p**ed out

[mikey4444]

Its often said that Londoners drink water that has already passed through 4 sets of kidneys, although I have never been terribly sure how they can be that exact. In Wales, we drink very, very, very, very weak sheeps pee.

[ludwig]

Why don't we put the water into rockets and fly it into space?

Obviously not just a rocket full of water - that's crazy talk. I mean every time they send a satellite up, why not stick a few gallons on board?
