Reservoirs, lake's, river's etc, took the dog out for his walk earlier can honestly say I have never seen the river so low, think the fish are going to struggle over the next few days. We aren't on a hosepipe ban yet though.
What's the situation where you are?
Have a great day all.  |

When I was a kid in the mid 90s I went on a horse back riding holiday around the Elan Valley, which supplies the west midlands with water. That year there was a hosepipe ban, yet the Elan reservoir was over flowing. Go figure. |

That's nuts, I could walk across our river now which would usually wash a person away. |

If that west Antarctic ice shelf breaks free and melts, we're not going to be worrying about river levels being low. We're going to be worrying about hilltops being a bit low. Apparently we could be looking at sea level rising by 50 metres, which puts every coastal city in the world underwater.
I think that I'll be okay in Stockport, but I'll only need to walk half a mile to get to the seaside... |

"Ban from Friday here. The sea is still full up but oddly a couple of times a day it seems to empty out
Weird have a word with the moon later.  "
Hadn't thought of that! I'll be out in the garden howling later |

Only at around the equator. The sea level at the poles will actually drop. |

An ice shelf breaking up makes zero difference to sea levels. Its already floating which means its already displacing a volume of water equal to that it contains. Whether or not it breaking up allows continental ice to flow into the sea at a faster rate is a different question. |
