Man made to cover up the P Diddy evidence or to get the city ready to be a smart city? Because that's all i see on tiktok. I'm going to have to self ban myself on there as way too many crazy folk on there.

Got a cartoon in my head of Chinese guys lobbing fire into the wind.
Makes sense. Lots of celebrities houses burnt down, all that physical evidence lost tying them to Diddy

If gravity is part of the system, it's part of the problem if the system is failing, do you think they just use magic as a force to move the water and create the pressure ?

I bet a lot of priceless things were lost in this, things we will not hear about. From personal collection of artworks, classic cars, vintage musical instruments. There aren't no quick and easy way they are going to move a Steinway in the best of times. Lost of research, anyone who didn't use cloud to do their writing or didn't take the hard drive with them. Like George R R Martin who is famous for not using a computer (But he doesn't live in LA).
Sarcasm?
Not understanding how water transportation systems work lol, funny given it's still basically the same technology invented by the Romans and the UK is full of the same water systems and towers

Was listening to a US stream about it and insurance companies have seemingly been jacking up the costs for house insurance due to the likelihood of this sort of thing happening so I suspect a lot of normal folk just simply won't be insured. The state have failed to provide increased water storage for years and there's been plenty of warnings apparently.
I was reading some of the research on this, they found that doing controlled burns resulted in the same number of deaths as prior wild fires because the controlled burn offs increases PM2.5 air pollution by 52% in the area of California where they used to do these burns.
Because of this they said let's stop doing burn offs and just deal with any wild fires because we have the same number of deaths either way, but at least we have a larger ecosystem in the meantime which helps animals and other species. What they did not consider was the cost of destruction to property from these wild fires in their research... estimated $50 billion cost in damages from these fires as of now

If only pumps existed, right?
No. It's not. The UK is largely reservoirs and variable pressure/flow pumps.

The pumps exist in the system and are designed to fill the towers during off peak, you know when nobody is using the water and thus draining the tower, the fires don't care about peak because it doesn't work shifts

Right, but as you tried to point out the issue is gravity. Which can be overcome with...ah yes, pumps.

The filling line is substantially smaller than the discharge so no, the gravity problem is the water not being able to get to higher elevations in the pipes due to the water tower having less water and therefore less mass for gravity to push down on to create the pressure needed to reach higher elevations
Which can again be overcome with?
