Yeah but gas isn't a problem in 'making it'! Gas doesn't affect the locals,it's been there for years. Rain on the other hand is plentiful, too plentiful in these parts! My point is we get wet too much so we should at least keep the damned stuff not let it go to places that have more

Edit..and you're only jealous because we have such scenery, as you can see in the video,unlike your
flatlands.

If you keep all the wet stuff you won't have enough room to keep the new wet stuff that arrives. In fact we should be charging you to take your excess wet stuff away.

Right that's it! I'm going up there later to have a pee in the reservoir. If we can't drink it then neither can you!

It was a bloody wet winter.
Ground water was very high so that helped in the flat lands thankfully.

Maybe it is actually to do with the fact that it hardly rained up here for the whole summer?
(Yes, we do normally get quite a lot of rain and it is has been raining off and on for the past couple of weeks.)This is the nearest reservoir to me,about 2 miles away. https://www.great-harwood.org.uk/about/Places/Countryside/Dean Res.htm

I haven't been up there for about 4 months,but the last time i went up it was quite full,though someone told me the other week that it's only half full and they've installed 'huge pumps' to pump our water to drier parts of the country.
Well, we had a terrible drought here in 1995. The reservoirs were all running dry. In the end they had to send convoys of water tankers down with water from Kielder Reservoir and dump it into Scammonden Reservoir from the M62 which runs along the top of the dam.
So, I don't think the North West can moan about people nicking our water when we were desperate to nick theirs when it suited us!

My area steals water from wetter regions elsewhere. For once it really is a plot by the Westminster Establishment!

Also at the former Websters reservoir. Through the town centre and up Pellon Lane.
Yorkshire Water is Kielder Water.

A bit worrying round our way too .... it only comes half way up the ducks.

They're not actually swimming, they just have very long legs.
