Floods again
The M.R.L.Solving Britains Flood Water Problems
Well now, what with the recent floodings, and refloodings occuring now virtually and in reality every year, something should be done about it.
But of course the incumbent government has been laggardly in dealing with the recurring situations. There is a solution to the problem, a
sound engineering solution, based on sound hydrological engineering principles, the very sound principles set down by the Romans. It all
works and will work, on the basis of the Roman knowledge of hydrology, namely that water follows the rule of law written in hydrology that
water must flow downhill, unless it is arrested by a rise in the land.
Now Britain is up at the top of the world, and extends downwards, quite rightly, and properly with France and the French beneath us.
What needs be done, is quite simply, starting at the top, we construct,in the earth of course, a long line drainage canal extending
downwards, towards and collecting at Dover. Why collecting, well there will be several branch lines joining the main artery canal,all part of a
drainage canal system .
Now the Collector, as it is called, where the water will be disposed of, is quite properly the Chunnel, to which the storm water will the be
directed in to, continuing on, ever following the legalities of the Laws
Of Hydrology, flowing downwards, and emerging in France, where it will be a French problem for them to deal with.
You recall a previous engineering plan of allowing the sewage of Great Britain to be collected and directed in to the Chunnel? Well, there will
be no problem there as the Chunnel can accomodate both the sewage flows and the storm water flows,as some area cities already do have and share
a common sewage/sanitation/storm drain system, so too can that principle be applied here, rather than separate, saving the costs of building
another Chunnel...........a Pence saved is a Pound earned, until the government takes your pence.
Ever onwards, the M.R.L. solves problems through sound engineering
principles.No problem there.
