The amount of rain we have had in East Anglia this last 2 days, I am surprised any of Norfolk is actually above the waterline. It is a good job there are so many boats there on the broads :augie
I must, however, take issue with Norfolk being "down". Everyone knows you go "up" to Norfolk. :naughty :augieIan
Well we live in south Staffordshire and we travel more or less due East overall to get to Norfolk, even though we travel south on the M6, then take A14 and then A11, thank goodness they have nearly completed the Elvedon bypass, making virtually the whole trip either motorway or dual carriageway.
East Anglia is claimed to be one of the driest counties in Britain, in the Broadland area, there is a lot of land actually below sea level, which is why there are so many windmills on the Broads. Well, they are actually wind pumps. However, most of the drainage is now done by electric pumps.
With recent coastal surges, we have noticed increased water levels around the rivers, making some of the bridges too low to cruise through.
With the recent surges, salt water has flowed up stream as far as Potter Heigham, this has killed many fresh water fish, so in some respect, extra rain water being pumped back in to the rivers in the higher reaches can only help, but with it, are all the nutrients washed off the fields, which then promotes excessive weed growth and green or blue algae.:doh
Nature is a fine balance, it naturally compensates for change, but we give nature a hand and try to control it for our benefit, however we don't understand the consequences over time, of those actions.:nenau
