    High School Why does this not produce water pressure?

    It isn't a case of cleaning or not, these are only a few months old and I do clean them every week or so when the flow rate drop (even lower than the piddling rate already), it is just how slow they filter as gravity filters are known to be slow. They are quite new. The few drops is normal for...

    High School Why does this not produce water pressure?

    Something like 1.9 litres per hour I think they rate it at per hour but in practice I have found it far lower. It is just a few drips every few seconds.

    High School How much lower would a sheep be expected to jump if on a steep upward slope?

    I mean jumping upwards - ran out of characters in the title. I am wanting to make a barrier out of natural materials to keep sheep off my property. The wood material for a barrier at the top of the bank is limited which is why I want to use the least wood I can get away with, so lowest fence...
