[@grindupBaker]

The way this works (the desert zone) involves "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" which is much energy equalling for 1 kg water the same as heating 10 kg water by 60 degrees (and some latent heat of fusion-freezing also). Air rises wet from the ocean around the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) just north of equator in May-August and cools by say 90 degrees while rising 15 km which condenses the H2O gas and the water rains back down there. It would have cooled by say 135 degrees but all that latent heat of condensation & freezing held back 45 degrees of cooling. As it heads north at 15 km up the Coriolis Effect turns it hard right so it's stopped there and descends and gets heated by pressure as it descends, but it's bone dry because its H2O fell out when it rose, so it heats by maybe 135 degrees as it descends by 15 km so it's now 45 degrees warmer than the warm tropics where it rose due to "latent heat of evaporation-condensation" cooling the tropics where it rose and putting its heat into the air. My example is an exaggeration because it's also radiating heat to space but it does carry several extra degrees of heat north in the air due to water latent heat. So that causes the Sahara Desert and also it's dry air descending which means no cloud so the summer Sun is blazing. The Mediterranean Sea is too deep to be dried to desert but southern Europe is destined to gradually become in the desert zone of dry descending air from ITCZ that I just described. It's inevitable as the global warming relentlessly progresses due to the +CO2.

I remember my geography class back in the mid 1960's which we studied the water tables. My teacher emphasising how The south relied on the under ground natural reservoirs which he pointed out that they struggled to maintain levels during hot weather. There were supposedly plans to look at alternative supplies including desalination plants. Looks like he was teaching in the wrong area. He told us of how the wealthy industrial revolutions land and mill owners had fianced the northern city corporations to invest in more reservoirs to maintain water for their mills and population. The mills have gone and most of the big industries too but the reservoirs are still here.

all that lovely gravel reflecting the suns rays

[@_Ben4810]

A problem identified 25+ years ago in Yorkshire reservoirs was just how silted-up & reduced holding capacity they were from decades of surface water run-off bringing soils into the reservoirs. Dredging & deepening the reservoirs was the easy solution then, but the stumbling block was where to dispose of all the thousands of tonnes of dredgings & sludge...? It was deemed an impossible & too expensive task & soon forgotten about. We also need a national infrastructure in-place that treats water as a precious resource during winter flooding & capture, collect & pump away from known the usual areas of flooding (rivers Severn, Ouse, Wharfe etc.) to top-up primary & secondary reservoirs... Or invest further in the somewhat unpopular 'cloud seeding' technology....

[@darren25061965]

The dredgings would have been ideal for reclaiming land from the sea (this Island is shrinking due to costal erosion), but there always seems to be an "Eco objection" to these kind of projects. Secondly, the vast profits of the joint water companies could have been better utilized to put Desalinization infastructure in place, whilst it would not be needed all the time, when needs dictated it could simply desalinate water and pump it into existing reservoirs when levels began dropping.

What I don't understand is how in previous years we had one month of heavy rain that caused devastating floods, and this year we have one month of no rain and it causes devastating drought in the same regions.

"we haven’t had a new reservoir built since thatcher, but the population has increased immeasurably" There's your problem in a nutshell.

The infustructure here in the U.K is realistically out of date, and with old pipes water companies are slow to repair, so water wastage is the normal, while they put the cost on customers. The infustructure in the U.K is a joke and embarrassing compared to much more forward and far developed nations, like Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong just as an example. The British government are always held back by counter debates and having development held back, also by campaigning. This country will never be developed as they want to be seen as, like Japan. I was only using those countries as examples. The new thing of being “environmentally friendly” is a joke. Follow that and all our development as human beings goes out the window.

The UK really has a unsustainable amount of people living in it. If Ireland had the same population density of England (not whole UK) there would be 35 million people in Ireland against the 5 or 6 that live there now. We have very little land to capture water given the size and numbers of our Urban areas. France has the same population as us but is 3 times larger.

Build a couple of delsalination plants , one in the North Sea and 1 in the Irish Sea. Maybe share the cost with Eire and then they have access to the water as well. Israel and now Victoria, Australia have Desalination plants off their coasts. This helps provide water security and an insurance against lack of water. Desalination plants take a relatively small amount of time to build in relation to the 2 decades to build 3 more reservoirs on the South East. It avoids flooding large areas of the Soth East as well. Desalination plants are the answer and a long-term view to provide water security that transcends the length of our political party Parliamentary terms.

[@boettie]

As indicated in this news, this is not a unique event and, according to the news reader, there was also such a period 30, 50 and 500 years ago. Don't worry, Scotland is in the process of felling 12,500,000 trees to make room for wind turbines. Fortunately, those trees can no longer consume water and at the same time no longer absorb CO2. The largest wind farm in the North Sea is currently losing 1.1 billion euros, which must be compensated by a strong increase in energy costs for consumers. In northern Germany, 1600 wind turbines were shut down in 2019. Reasons: unprofitable, too expensive to maintain, too expensive to break down and people do not know how the plastics of the blades can be processed in an environmentally friendly way. Until 2025, another 2600 copies will be added that will rust away in the landscape.

"DROUGHT EMERGENCY" - nothing like inciting panic. I hate what "news" has become. They're never happy unless they're making people live in fear, guilt and panic now simply for daring to be alive and have needs.

The most interesting thing about this video is that they seem to know that this will be going on right into the autumn when they cant’t even usually get a weeks weather forecast correct. So we have more people going inside (again) because it’s too hot, more people losing jobs, more people’s lives are being destroyed, another way of less fresh food coming to our tables (the Netherlands are the second biggest food supplier in the world … these farmers livelihoods are currently under threat which will affect the food supply). Seems to me the Climate Change they are talking about is the the prevailing trend of public lifestyle rather than the eco system. Why isn’t anybody talking about weather manipulation …. they know how to stop the rain. They did it for the Chinese Olympics I’m sure they know how to create the rain. The Chinese government authorized the use of 1,104 cloud seeding missile launches to remove the threat of rain ahead of the 29th Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing. Weather manipulation has been going on since at least 1947 if not earlier.

I conserve as much water as I can. I do not own a dishwasher and any water in the sink from washing up, goes into a bucket. In the shower I stand in two plastic containers to collect the water. I will also collect water from the washing machine. I do not flush the loo as much. Savings can be made.

Here's a thought. Stop the sales of bottled water and let people use the tap. I wonder how many gallons that would save.

Alternative toilet solutions, we should do more research on better options than waterclosets! Houshold water should be reused. And: All new buildings should be made with a top layer of moss, grass or sedum on the roofs: Green roofs will work as a sponge, keeping water from making floods when the rain will fall again and will give nice morning dew for birds and insects too....

Hardly a drought.. Just hot weather in England, lets go 8 months with 40 degree heat every day and not a drop of water. Then we can complain.

Soon winter will come, rain all next week and back to miserable, damp, cold, wet and blighty weather and the news and rage will die down.

[@SirZanZa]

droughts can last years, just because that is the norm doesn't mean it will return just because its supposed too. and even when it does if it don't rain enough to fill up the deficit in the Aquifers and ground water the next summer will be even worse. what we need now if a wetter than usual winter for things to return to normal where water is concerned

[@ULTRAWIDE.]

Nah next it'll be rising sea levels and flooding. The media are all in on the net zero scam. They wont stop pushing fear.

The real problem here is the vastly overpopulated UK can no longer provide basic services for the indigenous population, yet appear completely oblivious to the ever growing human population largely brought about by legal and illegal immigration.

[@stephenperry84]

[@stephenperry84]

As Long as they all pay tax- no problem. Between 50-70’000 illegal immigrants in uk at present. If the tories spent money and invested in our police force, they could probably reduce the number of illegal immigrants entering the country significantly. If we didn’t leave Europe, France and other European countries might actually want to co-operate with us... we left and now we’re in our own... and no one gives a s**t who passes through Europe to get to the UK. This government are to blame for so much. Drought can’t be helped though 😂

fun fact: if the ground is extremely dry, as it is in England, when it starts raining (let's say in fall), the ground will not soak it up, and it will easily run off the land and cause flooding.
