well in the south east anyway :D

or more likely the 'cimate experts' will be about as accurate as when they forcast "The dryist and coldest winter on record" for 2006/2007  :P

There again, they could have just built too many houses in the SE


Still, not to worry, we get our water from wales and when we were there in October they were letting water out over the dams as they were full.

datalas:
the one that bothers me is that we get water shortages in southampton...

now asside from the fact it's currently raining, and most of the roads round here flood...

I appreciate that salt water is troublesome to make drinkable, but, we're surrounded by water :-!   I mean, if I go south, I get damp feet ...

When my folks lived in saudia a very dry country they had disstillartion plants built on the coast the job of these was to convert sea water to drinking water and they work very well. In fact because thay are so good they re did the pipe work and warted all the road side trees and grass etc every day for about 6 hours at a time and they dont have droughts. and here us on a island with no water. Me think the water companys need to get off there private golf courses and start doing something about the leeks and may be flood a few more valleys so we have more resaviours or is that just to simple

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
The only problem with desalination plants is that they use a load of energy to convert the water.  A bit of a Catch 22.

Yeah, it's fine if you live in a wealthy, oil-rich, desert-intensive country, but not very practical in the UK, although I think there are a couple around.
