Bursts are very common when the ground is drying out after the winter or becoming wetter again after the summer. Short of running all pipes above the surface or replacing them with all some relatively cheap wonder material that you'd need to invent, there's not much you can do about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but doesn’t the sun evaporate the sea then it rains think the rain forests had something to do with it too , but they chopped most of them down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK though because once they've dug the gas out there will be more room for the sea - and we'll all be rich so won't give a fuck anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK weather: Driest start to year in England since 1976 Cringle is still full, but they decided several years ago they don't need that extra water. Maybe they will start to use it again.

Maybe they will start to use it again. Discussed on an earlier thread (with a useful MUA link). It wouldn't really help much and would need a lot of work.

The river feeding clypse and kerrowdhoo had totally dried up last week. In the 20ish years I've been walking round there, I've never seen that - there's always been some going in no matter how dry it had been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isnt the hosepipe ban only domestic and not washing cards watering gardens. Pretty sure business is excepted Yes, it seems to just apply to watering private gardens and private cars. So can still fill hot tubs and swimming pools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
