Just seen a bit on the local news this morning that a new park being built in Inverness will have an Archimedes Screw built in the River Ness (that flows through park - Inverness actually means "the mouth of the Ness") and it will provide electricity for all the parks facilities plus 150 houses.
All new housing schemes being built around here must have a runoff area for rain water. They are normally built as reed bed ponds, which during heavy rain can fill with water, so preventing damage to property. With the fondness for drives instead of gardens rain water runoff is becoming more of a problem.
