Reservoir Repair

   Here's something different... Our 100 year old reservoir has been leaking, but instead of draining it and spending millions on a major rebuild Thames Water's partnership Eight2O worked out a way of repairing it whilst leaving it full of water and best yet (from our point of view) not interrupting the sailing. This is the "aren't we clever video", and yes, in so far as I can tell I rather think they are...

	Such a simple concept, but the brilliant ideas often are. Well done Thames Water

	Good work, but in fairness they probably couldn't afford to be without that as a resource given the low water levels at other London reservoirs.
