we talk about heavy rain but water is
heavy very heavy to give us an idea of
just how heavy we are about to see what
would happen if all of Borah Dells four
meters of water fell in one go now
obviously we can't get a bigger the size
of the Lake District so we're just going
to recreate what it's like when four
meters of water hits one small area so
we have four cubic meters of water in
the bucket which amounts to four tons at
height then beneath it you'll see we've
found a car for scientific purposes
let's see just how much damage that
amount of water can do
hmm looks like rain
yeah pretty brutal but I shouldn't be
surprised because the water actually
weighed four times more than the car and
the needed
every minute of every day 900 million
tons of rain land on our planet
that's about the same amount of water as
in all 16 lakes of the Lake District oh
[Music]
they're going to notice but it does
prove the point water is really heavy
that is just the annual rainfall for
Borradaile where i've been going on
holiday all of my life explains
something about it
it's amazing isn't it
