Joke. With all this rain we've had, be moaning about flooding next. A few months back we were a few days from being the Sahara desert. Everyone knew at the time a matter of weeks and we would all be swimming everywhere, it's just the British weather. One thing you can guarantee, is that it rains a lot.

Surely someone should be looking at how better not to waist the water or collect it better. God knows we have enough of it fall from the sky for free.

Ours hasn't been lifted yet. The reservoirs aren't filled to the level they should be which would cause problems next year.

No. It's all of our jobs to preserve communal resources as we can.

I actually live close to a reservoir which has low levels after the hot summer, so I've run a long hose from my outside tap into it and left it running to help out.

The biggest problem the water companies have is how much money they can make with doing the least amount of work possible

All while making it seem like the public are at fault for the low levels.

No shortage of water in this country its purely down to very very poor decisions and miss management and again trying very hard to come up with excuses as to why its our fault.

Reservoirs are silted up so deeply they hold less water

Run off from the hills is diverted away from the reservoirs so they only fill with the rain hitting them

Excess run off from hills is diverted into rivers causing floods

Floods get continuously worse because the rivers are silting up and getting full of rocks and debris.

And I know most will think I don't know what I'm on about but have a look yourselves and then decide if I'm just ranting

And before someone says the run off from the land pollutes the reservoirs yes it does a little but the filtration systems that have cost millions will clean even chemical attacks out of the water so a little crap off the farms will be fine.

I agree that the water companies should do more and should be compelled to do more.

But - maybe this is being raised in a place where drought was near constant - that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do more as individuals.

Thing is that most of this country's water storage and distribution infrastructure was built over 100 years ago when it was pretty well guaranteed that the longest interval between rainstorms was three days. There was so much water falling from the sky that the biggest problem was getting rid of it. Labour was cheap, health and safety regulations non-existent, planning permission hadn't been invented, and getting lots of navvies digging trenches and putting pipes down was easy.

Skip forwards 100 years and the rain now comes in Noah's flood quantities three times a year, a slow drizzle throughout the summer, and Australian outback type drought all too often. Yes the water companies did sit on their arses just pulling in money for doing nothing throughout most of that 100 years, but the climate has now changed so quickly that no matter how fast they act at updating the system, it cannot cope with our modern expectations of having totally unlimited clean water at the turn of a tap.

Yes water companies should have been investing more for many years now, but they didn't. Yes governments should have been controlling climate change for many years now, but they didn't. We are where we are now, so unfortunately the only option is for us ordinary people to try to act responsibly, as the idiots that are in charge of everything certainly are not going to.
