    We still have a lot of slag heaps in the top of some of our local hills. They make for some interesting mountain bike runs but they aren’t exactly diverse in floor coverage. Some pits are now tourist attractions but I don’t know what ongoing work is done to maintain the abandoned ones.















  • You can, they are called canals. Look at the Nile delta and the network of irrigation trenches used to spread water from the river to the wider areas. There are a number of dam projects in Africa which are all about managing water flows.

    The principle problem is when your divert water it’s usually at a cost to another area that was using it.
