i can't believe i'm reading this.



poacher-cum-gamekeeper welsh water says it may drain some rivers to prevent drought next year.



given that the bastards have created the conditions for drought in the first place, by refusing to issue hose-pipe bans when they knew stocks were falling, by failing for years to repair all the leaking pipes thay have etc, surely they must be held to account for their appalling behaviour?



but, no. they will be allowed to create environmental mayhem to cover-up their mismanagement.



how long will these watercourses take to recover from being completely drained? have w.w. carried-out proper studies of the likely effect on local wildlife - i'm leaving out of this the obvious casualties, the fish - what about rare otters, voles etc that will die because their water supply has dried-up?



w.w. should not be allowed to do this. instead, they should have to take their massive profits and spend it on supplying bottles, bowsers or any other suitable containers of water - bought from somewhere where there is a glut of water - in order to give us the water we pay them for.



they must not be allowed to destroy the welsh countryside in their pursuit of profits.
