    I have collected 2000lts of rain water over the spring in portable water barrels and have never needed to use a hose. All my tomatoes and other veggies get watered from spring reserves. Water efficiency is not hard but the waste is staggering.

      If it really was an emergency it would have happened by now; the word " emergency" is as overused and abused as its cousin "crisis".
      If *everything* is an emergency/crisis *Nothing* is. There is certainly no shortage of sanctimony from the chatteratti followers of the religion modernism with its irritating little sub-religion Climate-change/globalwarming_ ism which is based on a fundamental misunderstanding and more than a few obvious fallacies.
      As if there has ever been a time when the climate was *not* changing.

    Sadly a lady like Ms Cooper around 6:50, her land is part of the major problem like most of Britain - it is devoid of trees. Only 13% of the UK is still forested, which locks in moisture, generates clouds, preserves soil, compared to before it was deforested and farmed when it was nearly 90% forested almost a rain forest like the Amazon. But not only is their too much farmland but too many open fields, in cities, along rivers, along roads. And speaking of the Amazon...Bolsanaro is set to turn the Amazon into the next Sahara. Be sure to boycott any and all goods from Brazil.

      The infustructure here in the U.K is realistically out of date, and with old pipes water companies are slow to repair, so water wastage is the normal, while they put the cost on customers.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.

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. We keep building but we don't build any infrastructure, we are short of hospitals, GPs dentists, roads, sewers, schools the list goes on.

    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.

    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.

    The thumbnail picture to this video has been used on many alarmist drought articles. The thing is the picture shows one of the best harvests on record. The Harvest Monitor website confirms it's a bumper year, one of the earliest in a long time, and as the brown fields in the distance in the photo shows the stubble has been ploughed back in to begin breaking down sooner than normal, giving more time for releasing nutrients to improve next years harvest.

      stores are struggling to keep up with the volume of grain coming off the fields as grains ripen and are harvested rapidly. This highlights the shortage of lorries and drivers, which is affecting the rate of harvest progress for some, with combines halted due to no storage space left.

    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.

    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.

    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.
