...Logisitical Expertise! There are up to 350,000 homes that are without water in Gloucestershire. So a total of six million litres of water are being distributed each day; some as bottled water; the rest through 900 bowsers which are being refilled three times a day. Distribution is being coordinated from the racecourse where the army is assisting in coordination and distribution in military convoys.
On Wednesday, more than five million litres of bottled water were delivered and distributed at 21 centres across the county .
So with a daily average consumption of 120 million litres, there is only a fraction of the normal amount of water available, but what a fantastic effort to get it out to the county...!
