AFTER ALL THAT HAS BEEN POSTED TOWN OR NOT FOR SALE AND DEAN OWNS CANALSIDE WHICH I THOUGHT EVERYONE NEW. SO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I DONT KNOW TALK ABOUT MAKING MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLEHILLS. What you on about? We are discussing canal engineering here. Dean owns the canal side.

Where is the canal higher than the calder? Cooper bridge for starters, at every lock* the barge is lowered to river level innit? edit: *specifically at points where the canal intersects with the river, obv not every lock. No, if a barge joins a river at a lock where it enters against the flow of the river, then it will be at the same level. If it joins the river where it is entering with the flow of the river, then it will be lowered to that level. The weirs, as well as controlling the flow of the river, are built to determine the height of the water in the canal.

My knowledge of canals is from once going on a weekend barge trip with Catholic Youth Activity Group in the 80's, the water level was too high for the first day so we were moored at Cooper Bridge playing cards and getting pissed on cheap sherry. So I will concede I might be talking shite

If the canal floods, surely Dean will simply order it to recede.

He has an opinion on everything and I'm itching to know his opinion on the canal situation.

The weirs, as well as controlling the flow of the river, are built to determine the height of the water in the canal. The Huddersfield Broad Canal is at a higher lever than the Colne and the Calder, all 3 converge at Cooper Bridge. The Broad Canal is clearly higher as there is a large lock to control the canals discharge into the Calder, where barges descend a level to enter to either go onto Mirfield or Brighouse.

Brought up as a kid in Bradley and spent many hours down colnebridge and have never seen the canal flood. As for canal side the locks are at the back of the training complex and are the highest part of the canal. They don't flood from the highest points as water escapes through valves to protect the lock gates. So no flooding will accure on the training pitches but will on Leeds road playing fields as they are at the lowest point! So not a problem Mr smooth?

Just do....anything like that, engineering projects, big infrastructure projects I find quite fascinating. I have the ability to soak up vast amounts of useless info too. We also used to live near the canal growing up, so, with living near it and it being a 'playground' you kind of wonder why its there and how it works. No wonder you get frustrated with the entertainment value at Town when you could be at home reading about engineering and infrastructure projects. In fact, why don't you ask Tog if we can have 'Art and Infrasture' at halftime. If it goes well, we could then tease the crowd with a promise of 'Art and Engineering', but not tell them when this would be. People will be flocking in, just hoping they get the right week. Anything you want to know about the current Crossrail project in London....I'm your man.

Are we still talking about the water. Or are we doomed to relegation again.

At least if canalside does flood we can all seek refuge in an upstairs portacabin round the back, where a rescue mission can be coordinated for Mary and Albert Snaithsfield who were on the cusp of victory in the mixed pairs on the back bowling green.

So what is the purpose of all the weirs on the river Colne and Calder ? These are rivers, which are natural, weirs are used to tame the rivers power, used to control the river, its discharge, stop it flooding. I thought the weirs were to oxygenate the water so the waterway didn't get clogged with algae and pondweed and crap ?

You're not allowed to call it that anymore because the earth isn't warming - you've got to call it climate change. Actually, the new climate lie the climate liars are trying to run up the flagpole is back to global warming. If you're following along and up-to-speed, it's apparent that the sensitivity of the climate to carbon dioxide is not even f-kin measurable. So now, in desperation, it's 2 degrees C above pre-industrial times is catastrophic and we've already had one totally beneficial degree (naturally). I can't believe anyone still believes this shit. That Guardian writer above sounds pretty f-kin desperate.

Anoxic water, the logistics of waterways ... education rather than cruciation.

Almost forgot, but this thread reminded me of a traumatic time I had in October 2014 which gives me shivers thinking about it. I was walking my dog near the canal, she fell in and was struggling, and I panicked a bit, froze to the spot and didnt know what to do, but this chap passing by ripped off his shirt and dived in to the cold water, rescued her and gave her mouth to mouth, and gently nursed her back to a state where she seemed ok, with a German accent he told me to get her home and what I should do to ensure she was ok, wrapping her up and feeding her by hand.
I asked him if he was a vet.
"Vet....I'm soaking" he replied.
