London water supply would flood oceans if diverted
Tit Bits estimates show London’s annual consumption for 850 acres at 325 ft high and a canal 2400 miles long would need all world warships to ride the banks. A 100 foot canal across Duro would rise water ten feet. London residents would each use 60 gallons daily. The water flow would circle the globe near the equator, a train at 60 mph requiring over four days to traverse.
