Inter-season water storage "basins" to fight against droughts...

[sicetaitsimple]

A report from “France Stratégie” which has just been released and which takes stock of water resource and consumption data. I haven't read it carefully yet, but it seems interesting to me.

Complement: everything is interesting in this document, but the graph on page 3 is particularly interesting, even if it takes into account national aggregate data which is not necessarily representative of local data.

France receives enough precipitation to satisfy all its water needs, provided it does not let it flow stupidly towards the ocean.

Retention basins are necessary if we want to maintain drought-resilient agriculture.

Because obviously, it's when it's dry that we need to irrigate more, and if we don't have any stock...

Not stupid, but you shouldn't say that to Repoterre who are up in arms about this common sense solution.

“A 1°C increase in temperature corresponds to an increase in atmospheric humidity of 7%,” continues the director of the Pierre-Simon-Laplace Institute. In other words, as the climate warms, the water vapor stored above our heads multiplies. » However, the air having a certain capacity to contain it, once the threshold is exceeded, it ends up condensing, forming clouds and transforming into rain. “Result: the water cycle is accelerated by climate change and precipitation is more frequent. »

And contrary to appearances, the spring of 2024 was one of the hottest ever recorded in France. The temperatures observed over the period March 1-May 20 are the seventh highest since records began in the 1930s, providing conditions conducive to humidification of the atmosphere.

Since you've been rambling for so long, you should still sober up!
Take excess water or collect it from rivers before max, OK!

and everyone agrees on this point! What the ancients did, and why you are still among us! Realize the genius that your elders still had...

But this project, reworked by the technocrats and dubbed by Zizi, is transformed into pumping the water table, to the detriment of the community, and only for the benefit of a few wealthy people.

Find the mistake...

About ! If they have arrived at your home, how do you protect yourself from the tiger mosquitoes which are ruining our lives (already in May, in the Center)?

Take excess water or collect it from rivers before max, OK!

In arable areas where the soil does not retain water, above-ground reserves are installed in the middle of these areas, with reasonable pipe distances to reach summer irrigation locations.
An average “irrigation substitute reserve” contains 750 m000 of water.

Do you think it would be economically viable to recharge it with 250000 tanker truck trips to the nearest river, if it is 10 km away, while a few meters of vertical pipe allow it to be recharged when the water table is at its highest? , see overflows... It doesn't make sense

You have tiger mosquitoes.... Last Friday between 20 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. I did a Tours La Rochelle Tours without being sprayed by the slightest storm... I certainly had mosquitoes on the windshield and the nose of the vehicle but: I did not need to stop to wash the windshield, and, I did not give the slightest squirt of windshield washer.. I remember the same trip at the same time in 2015.. It hadn't been the same music at all...

I don't see the bats hunting in the evening... There are no more mosquitoes and... The bats have moved elsewhere... But hey, I have a frog that has come back to squat in my float tank... It must be her who slaps them

Here is another example, I did tours of Loches Macromaville this evening between 16:30 p.m. and 19 p.m. on a motorbike, a good part of which followed the Indre valley. I was riding with my 1100 GPZ, so not very protected and, how can I say, not particularly gently, the result is sure the screen
