Getting flooded

I'll actually need to look into this. Have a small stream in my garden (well, it's a ******* river today) but there is a small wterfall type thing at the back of the garden where it comes through a concrete tube under the road, so it is always moving.

Anyone have any idea of places who provide kit for projects like this ?

I'd be interested as well.
 
Clip what part of Scotland are you in? I'm in NE England and not even had rain yet, sun is out this morning in fact! Are we getting it next?

I'm on the Clyde coast about half an hour west of Glasgow. Forecast until Thursday is severe gales and more rain so flooding will continue. Could be heading your way.

I seem to remember that your water company will charge you for using the water - even if it's just passing through a turbine. No, I'm not joking.

Strangely enough, off the coast didn't get anything like the rain you got during the night.

I knew nothing of the flooding until I got off the ferry this morning to find Wemyss Bay to Langbank under a couple of feet of water.
 
Since the house is 300ft up a hill flooding has never been a problem before.

It's winter in Scotland so it rains, big deal. Do you southerners dissolve in the rain or what?

I used to live by the coast, so I don't go 'Oooooo! Water! Wow! everytime I see it'

Is that you meant?
