Vaughan Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have a word for this but the forum swear filter just calls it DAFFODILS! Let's just say it's "a load of old squit!" This is reclaimed land, for goodness sake! It has been drained deliberately for hundreds of years. What do they think all the old windmills were for?? One minute we can't get under Potter Bridge because the sea levels are rising, etc., etc., and now the EA claim the bird reserves are drying out. Let some water in from the river then! I think if there is a problem here, it has been caused by all the flood alleviation schemes that have been the bane of our existence for some time now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 where else do they expect them to get water, surely its not down to the villagers - its down to the local water authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cockatoo Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The area has less rain than middle eastern deserts? I call BS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 ah but the middle east deserts get it all in just one day - every 3rd or 4th year, the Broads gets it as a constant drizzle, plus they dont have the evaporation problems that the desert does.
