OK, so there's going to be a water shortage and a drought this summer. The solution.

Feek · 27 Mar 2006 at 14:56

It's all over the press at the moment that there's likely to be a drought and a big water shortage this summer, in fact the local BBC wireless station were talking about it for the whole of the breakfast show.

I have the solution. It's a simple one.

Take two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.

Mix.

Result: Water.

There we go, sorted. No more issues, why has nobody else thought of this?

I take it you mean drought Mr. Feek

[edit] I see I was correct. You've obviously got draught bitter on the brain

Nice ninja edit on the thread title

Too bad, I was going to have some fun

Cool, you might want to email This Guy. I'm sure he'd be very interested

You may get a reward!

I suppose I may as well be the one to point out the flaw in this otherwise faultless plan.

Where would the hydrogen and oxygen come from?

A draught beer Summer sounds good to me sir

S@njay · 27 Mar 2006 at 15:02

googled it, could not find anything, so i guess you cant do it!

it amazes me that a country receiving a lot of rain on average than the rest of the europe faces a drought.

Hydrogen is everywhere chap, lots of Oxygen around too.

Cars produce about 1 gallon of water for every gallon of fuel used...use cars more I say

Us Welshies have got plenty of 'shop soiled' water up here in the mountains. We'll gladly sell you some

Not to mention we are a bloomin Island! You never hear of Dubai having as many problems with water as we do!

Translation:

There's going to be a bit of a shortage in the south east/london area therefore the media will treat it as some sort of national disaster on a scale never seen before.

The hydrogen we use for fuel cells etc is released by the process of electrolysis of water.

It's easier just to use a desalinization plant on sea water and pump it to where it's needed than to seperate hydrogen from whatever it may be attached to and re-attach it to oxygen.

If it stops them bleating about a global warming apocalypse, then great.

make a big tank in ya garden, fill it with water, live off that in summer?

LordSplodge · 27 Mar 2006 at 15:34

Or just pump water from "up North" wher it does nawt but rain on t'garden and give it t'soft 'un down 'tsouth.

Or build salt-water convertors...after all it doesn't rain much in Lanzarote does it? They seem to do OK.

Problem is that more and more people are being born/immigrating yet no more reservoirs are being built.
