[QUOTE="neilo, post: 6643417, member: 348"] The storage requirement needed now does already have a substantial contingency built in. When you work out the calculation you are supposed to allow for the amount of rainwater that you haven’t managed to exclude from the system, and dairy washings, etc. Then you have to have enough storage (is it 4 months outside of NVZ areas?) for far longer than the ‘closed’ period when you aren’t allowed to spread any. Of course, it could be argued that the contingency needs to be extended, or spreading regulations tightened further, but it should be remembered that this is an almost unprecedented prolonged wet spell, even for Wales (local rainfall figures are used in the capacity requirement). Just last winter was very different indeed, for example. Which is the norm to base these contingency plans? Last winter +50%, or this one +50%? [/QUOTE]
