1. I was watching take-offs at Heathrow this morning. There's lots of rain in London too. Happy new year. NT

2. Jeez i wish we had a way of scooping up flood waters and sending it to places

That are in dire need of water.

3. Yes, nations need a national water grid like our power grids. We seem to have a national stupid grid as it is everywhere

Sorry, I digress.

4. Good Call

Moreover, I'm no expert on the subject, but I think that water reclamation on a large scale is technologically possible. Of course, even if I'm right about that, it requires money and, in this country, federal legislation, so . . . .

6. If the Earth wasn't flat the rainwater would

flow downward instead of pooling up and flooding.

Do I really need this?

5. Many airports are built near lakes or rivers, and so

very subject to flooding.
