- DISCUSSION ON THE ROOPINO OF CLEADON RESERVOIR 289 Discussion The Chairman opened the discussion by mentioning a few points which interested him. One wasthe slide showing trees growing out of the puddle trench; he felt it would interest Mr Tattersall, who had had experience of drying puddle at Chingford reservoir. The use ' of the puddle round the reservoir was similar to what had been done in gasholders round London in previous years. The reservoir had ended up by being almost like a gasholder, but the gasholder had a number of timber supports carrying the light steel dome when it subsided...

- CAITHNESS REGIONAL WATER SUPPLY SCHEME 386 Discussion The Authors, introducing the Paper, said that two problems of interest had been met during the first 18 months' operation of the scheme. The first was icing of the screens at Achavarn. During the very severe winter 1954/55 of Loch Calder had frozen over and the intakes were hardly visible because of snow, but water had continued t o pass through the screens below the ice and the head loss across them had never been more than a few inches. But trouble had been experienced on one occasion during the following winter when a severe and prolonged gale had swept across the loch blowing snow and ice towards the intake and choking the fine screens with a thick mat of honeycombed ice which had taken several hours t o clear...
