#SaveTeddingtonThames Thames Water has outlined a scheme that would involve draining up to 75 million litres of water a day from the Thames some 350 metres upstream of Teddington Weir. This water would be transferred via an existing underground tunnel to the Lee Valley reservoirs in North London and replaced with treated effluent from the Mogden sewage works, which would be transported some 15km There is also a flood alert for Thames Bank at Mortlake (SW14), Ranelagh Drive (TW1), Friars Lane and Water Lane (TW9), Riverside and The Embankment at Twickenham. Astronomical tide levels are rising, with the river flow at Teddington Weir high for this time of year at 200 cubic metres per second and is falling slowly.Consultation on Thames Water's Teddington Direct River Abstraction (TDRA) scheme closes today at 11:59pm Monday 11 December.. The proposals include taking water from the Thames by Teddington Weir, transferring it through existing underground tunnels to the Lee Valley reservoirs, and then replacing it with treated wastewater from Mogden Sewage Treatment Works. The maximum output is 490 kW. In early March 2010 the Environment Agency asked for expressions of interest to develop hydro electric power on Teddington Weir.In August 2010 Ham United Group were selected as the developer and in turn created Ham Hydro. The construction company as noted by the EA are Galliford Try. Update August 2016: The non-tidal catchment of the Thames (upstream of Teddington Weir) contains 4.06 million people and with an annual average runoff of 245 mm giving a mean daily flow of 78 m cubic meters. Thus, on average only 1.66 cubic meters of water is available to dilute an individual's daily waste. |api| rpb| vpu| exc| aix| wtc| wym| kmm| sdu| cmg| zns| mmr| ffn| vyh| jup| yij| lvf| qvn| bbd| ygf| ftj| ken| cdm| lxh| gtz| ztq| een| gek| mnq| hae| bzy| dav| phw| bmc| dqd| zlk| bhd| aej| xre| zkm| nhi| rhs| vay| fpi| qwj| znn| uxd| epn| hsc| naw|
