Six Meters

Do you know the answer to this riddle?

a horse is tied to 5 meter rope , six meters away from it was a bail of hay. with out breaking, the horse was able to get to the hay. how is this possible?

I assume you mean without breaking the rope.

You didn’t say the other end of the rope wasn’t tied to anything. The horse could walk anywhere he wanted.

Even if the other end was tied to a post – if the hay was right next to the post (on the other side of it) the horse could still reach it.

Plans for water meters in the UK

According to recent government estimates the average household uses about fifty thousand liters of water each year only for drinking and bathing. When put into context this is enough to fill the average size pool private pool, in addition, if the quantity Water was branch stores in bottles, which cost about twenty thousand pounds. Given this figure, the water bills we pay seems like a bargain, but if is still relatively cheap, the bills have risen steadily in recent years. As it seems all utility bills are increasing, this is concern, as a result of increase in these bills, however, the installation of water meters can be a great way to save water and therefore money.

The situation in the UK is that the water companies have complete control over the geographical areas they operate in. Because of this, water companies can charge almost any price they like, although the industry is regulated by the watchdog, Ofwat. Because of these geographical restrictions, competition between companies is nonexistent, Unlike other utilities, consumers have the option to change supplier is less than moving home to a new region. Depending on the region without It is likely that the meters will be used to control the consumption of water users.

Government and industry experts have agreed to produce a average savings per household of about one hundred and twenty pounds after the installation of water meters. The golden rule is that if a home has more rooms than residents, Water meters will be worth the installation. It is not only financial savings but psychologically it is believed that households use less water with the knowledge being measured, some estimates put the savings at around ten percent. However, there are problems with the change to meters. No change in the load from the supplier until the owner should a leak, which means that if you experience a leak for an extended period of time, could become very expensive.

The choice between installing water meters, however, is likely to be removed from a lot of homes, especially in the south of England. In some areas the government has launched plans for compulsory metering in the next five years. One such area is located in Kent, near Dover and Felixstowe. The local water board has put forward plans to install twenty thousand houses throughout the region. This plan is a reaction to certain areas of water "excessive use and seek to reduce consumption levels significantly.

This plan, while only regional at this point is likely to be more widespread in the future. The ultimate aim of government is to put meters in all regions, but in the near future only the regions that are considered 'waterscarce' will focus on. It is hoped that with these cases of water scarcity lower. Once these plans have been introduced in the most affected areas, the meters will spread across the country. In doing so the government hopes to anticipate any problems with water supply in the coming years.

This is an ongoing concern for the government to expect the effective long-term planning and implementation widespread water metering means the nation's consumption drops considerably. Most new homes in the country now have meters and apparently, the houses in the regions waterscarce will also shortly. Water is the source of life and it is only through effective and comprehensive scope both think that we will be able to ensure the most valuable natural resources.
