East Anglian Fenlands: Agricultural Yield Boost from free fresh water


Context        

  • One of the driest regions in the UK, with low annual rainfall (~600 mm) and peat soils vulnerable to drying and erosion.

  • Intensive vegetable farming (potatoes, carrots, celery) worth £750M+ annually.

  • Reliant on groundwater abstraction and drainage systems that degrade peat and release carbon.

? VaporSpring Impact Model

Parameter

Traditional System

VaporSpring System

Irrigation Reliability

Rain-dependent, variable

24/7 controlled vapor-fed

Water Source

Groundwater abstraction

Seawater/river → vapor → pure water

Soil Moisture Stability

Low during droughts

High, precision-controlled

Peat Preservation

Poor (oxidation from drainage)

Improved (reduced pumping)

Crop Yield (e.g. celery)

Baseline

+15–25% in dry years

Carbon Emissions

High (peat loss)

Lower (soil hydration preserved)

Projected Outcome:

  • Yield increase of 10–25% for water-sensitive crops.

  • Peat degradation slowed, preserving topsoil and reducing emissions.

  • Water cost savings up to 75% vs mains or tanker supply.

? Thames Valley River Basins: Hydrological Balance Restoration

? Context

  • 55% of effective rainfall licensed for abstraction.

  • Water flows projected to decrease under all climate scenarios.

  • Algal blooms, low oxygen, and ecosystem stress from overuse and warming.

? VaporSpring Impact Model

Parameter

Current System

VaporSpring Integration

Abstraction Pressure

High (groundwater & river)

Reduced (external vapor-fed supply)

River Flow Stability

Declining

Stabilized via managed recharge

Aquatic Health

Poor in tributaries

Improved (cooler, cleaner inflows)

Water Quality

Nutrient-rich, low oxygen

Diluted, oxygenated via vapor condensation

Urban Supply Resilience

Vulnerable to drought

Buffered by vapor-fed reservoirs

Projected Outcome:

  • 20–40% reduction in abstraction demand for agriculture and estates.

  • Improved ecological status in tributaries like the Cherwell and Ray.

  • Resilience against droughts, especially in urban-adjacent basins.

Would you like to visualize this as a regional deployment map, simulate seasonal performance, or build a policy pitch for DEFRA or local councils? We could even model carbon savings or economic uplift from yield increases and energy resale. Let’s shape the future.

Cheap UK water

lovely free fresh water UK engineers can provide a fresh water massively cheaper than British water.  The trick is to use some O level physics. With first of all start off by some almost free carbon zero the energy.  We have a 30cm steam plasma.  Limited to produce a captive 1 MW of heat: we start up using the plasma user high voltage electronics from a fluorescent light, then its self sustains while we had just 10⁻ⁱ⁶cc of regular light water a year.  Basically tap water! We feed this heat into a 1,500 UK pounds firmer electric generator.  That will produce us ½ MW of three phase mains voltage electricity. First or we have A string of vacuum pumps into the nearest river or even the sea.  And we apply 1m of vacuum to the water, and it boils off into water vapour. Dumping all salts and contaminants back into the river water.  We pump the water vapour to the small holding reservoir.  As reinvent the vacuum the water forms a fine mist, and d...

Keir Starmer going down the drain

Totally gone and forgotten A quarter of the UK get its' water supply from Thames Water. Is it going horrendously insolvent! And will likely have to eat nationalised again. the Labour government is busy trying to fire back everything privatised by the Conservatives. the International Investors have pulled that off a scheme to buy back Thames Water. And the UK government cannot seem to be the only fearful willing to buy back the insolvent utilities company. My advice to uk war to consume is to fill all bottles in terms of fresh water, therefore the main water is turned off. We are a country surrounded by water! A little silver fired 20 watts vacuum pump Or razor sea of river water by one meter. Time we get a limitless source of fresh water we can pump into a holding tank of reservoir. Free freshwater! An infinite source of free freshwater. After her fault the little vacuum pump. 3rd during the day by the sun. Keir Starmer going down the drain A quarter of the U...

Extra fresh water for Saudi Arabia

Arabia so lush for free The higher pressure desalination lots have been telling the world for 40 years, and filtering sore water or high pressure through a filter the first way to turn sore water into fresh water. It is nonsense, there is not the way that nature works, in the deep oceans the other three metre swell, and when the salt water is exposed to more than one metre of vacuum, it boils into fuel water vapour. Losing all salts and contaminants.  The water vapour then rises to form the high clouds which four as fresh brain on the earth.  All the time nature is turning sore water into fresh water for free. But the exact location of the rain is very random.  And does not usually four on to the hot or cold deserts of the world.  In the attics falling rain would melt the ice, but does not usually happen. Plus all we need a source of carbon zero electricity.  Due to my work with Dr Z from Sheffield University 2000, we figured out that a steam plasma is...
