marconyWe have a river running though the village. It used to be that if it had been very dry the river would get more full rather than less. This was because the water company used to use it to pump water from north of here to reservoirs in Essex.
This stopped when the water company put in a big pipe across the fields not far from here. The river returned to a more sedate and natural patten.
Yesterday the river suddenly went in to full flow. I guess they must be using both the pipe and the river. They must be really short on water down there.
