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

[Christophe]

I saw Jean de Florette yesterday, water is life (and evil is human)!

[izentrop]

A little masked violence to further destroy RC solutions...

[Forhorse]

Solution to RC? Downright ! Had to dare...

Solution to RC? Downright ! Had to dare...

I think Izentrop meant "solution to a consequence of RC", the ability to irrigate crops. A very partial solution, of course, I do not think that "basins" are possible everywhere..
If you have any solution....

[GuyGadeboisTheBack]

The solution is in any case not to empty the water tables when it does not rain enough during the winter to refloat them, therefore to take from the deficit aquifers, then to let rot and evaporate what we will have "stolen" "to the others, those who will not benefit from this artificial "manna" which is still only the stranglehold of certain "big" private parties on a common resource.

If you have any solution....

A beginning of a solution would already be to stop draining excessively as is currently the norm, it would have 2 effects:
- Avoid ending up with overflowing rivers and flooding at the slightest rainy episode, even "normal".
- Allow water to infiltrate it to the water table and recharge it rather than going directly into the rivers (see first effect)

But hey, since drainage generally doubles agricultural yields, we haven't finished hearing about floods and water shortages...

The solution is in any case not to empty the water tables when it does not rain enough during the winter to replenish them.

All is not perfect but there are established rules about it.

I'm talking to you about gogol agricultural drainage

[A.D. 44]

Maybe some little confusion between draining, channeling, irrigating...?

Write that or abstain, it's the same thing. Bedpans are dangerous, unfair and this solution is grotesque. If the water tables are full (which has not happened for a long time), pumping them in winter to fill basins is useless since you can pump them in summer without risk. If they are in deficit, do not touch. We can clearly see that all of this is just smoking to capture the resource for the sole benefit of some.
