OPINIONS PLEASE - WATER! This evening I have had a very heated debate with my family about of all things - WATER!!
Here in the UK, there is a very serious water "problem", with hosepipe bans and even car wash shutdowns in some counties, and even no home car washing, plus other water restrictions and I have been arguing the fact that other drier Western nations dont seem 2 b having the same problems as we are having regarding water!! The main problem, I beleive, is that the powers 2 b are not doing their sums right and its all down 2 bad management, basically!! Can any of u guys tell me if there are serious water problems where u all live and if there are any water restrictions and bans, if any?? I doubt whether any other country has the same problems we in the UK are having!! | |

I live here (the mitten shaped state in the middle of the lakes):
"The Great Lakes are a group of five large lakes on or near the United States-Canadian border. They are the largest group of fresh water lakes on the earth and the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence system is the largest fresh-water system in the world. They are sometimes referred to as inland seas." http://en.wikipedia.org/w...reat_Lakes And there are times in the summer when there are water restrictions for things like watering your lawns. It's a matter of how fast they can process the water through the treatment plants. [Edited 5/5/06 13:17pm] | |

But, beleive it or not, with us here in the UK, its because we have had no decent rain for a few months, but still that wouldnt reduce the water table THAT much!! | |

I live in sunny fucking florida where it rains every fucking day of the week in summer and the entire state is like a thin slab of pitted limestone floating on top of resevoirs of fresh and salt water.
And we've had a 3 year water restriction. | |

Are you sure you live in the UK ? Last time I was there it rained almost everyday. I saw a documentary on TV where scientists said that people in Germany don´t consume enough water which , in the long run, causes a lot of problems. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |
