I think there's a slight miscommunication here so I thought I'd just put my two cents in.
First, most people think of the water coming out of their tap as 'pressure', when in fact it's flow rate.
Best example I found is this:
Think of a syringe. Now fill it with water. If you don't push the end the water won't move. However, depending on how fast you push the end, the water moves at that rate. The pressure does not change however. Just the rate of flow.
The next part of the confusion here is your description of 'slope'. If the pumps that supply the flow rate are not working and you're at the top of a steep slope then you are unlikely to get any water. Unless you have a siphon system the water isn't going anywhere. Unlikely that you would have a siphon system btw. So pumps are required to push water uphill. You cannot gravity feed water uphill unless there is some sort of flow already. If the pumps are not working and there is no bypass system for the water then you will not get any water. Also, if there is a bypass, further uphill you are from that flow, the less likely you'll have water.
To add to this conversation (though long gone now), living in Australia during a drought we had water restrictions, though we managed to have water still. My wife who lived in various parts of Australia had times when there was no water. Also when I lived in Toronto we had water shortages due to the processing time.
Such is modern life.- Share

Topography wise, the house I grew up in was on a series of plateaus that eventually led to an old river at the bottom (when I was leaving the river has started to dry up sadly). I lived about 10 minutes drive from one of the major open area water catchment and holding areas in the entire city. The best way I can describe this was using a staircase analogy and loving in one of the middle steps and the catchment facility being on the top step. So we always would hear of people living at the bottom of the system having no water access issues and we always dealt with a shortage.- Share

- I'll be honest and say that someone gave me a simple explanation as a child as to how the system worked, so some of those details are naturally foggy right now.

So, I'm a little confused I have to admit. You use to live in the middle upper area and the catchment was at the bottom or top? Because if it was at the top then you'd have a gravity feed, which would then mean you were purposely being bypassed. Which to say the least, is cruel.- Share

- I'm going to see if I can flash some software on the V20 within the next two days. Overall, I don't have much issues with the pre production software, as I think this version is close to the released ROM. I just want it update eligible.

I think the right wing media and the GOP did a great job of making it look as though the Democrats were useless over the last 8 years.
I'm still curious of what's to come of this mess but I'm just saying 'f*ck it' and getting on with my life. The UK and USA are two places that are going downhill quickly. The UK probably faster than the USA though... intelligence is at an all time low...- Share

Although that Mi Note 2 is a mighty fine machine. I want to see if I have that calling but with the V20, as I really do use wired headphones a ton for phone calls, especially at home.- Share

- I'm still not a fan of this IPS screen in how it manages IPS glow...it is bright and sharp as a tack. It handles the black on the Google keyboard just fine, but greys look like crap. To be fair though, the Mi Note 2 handles greys in a similarly crappy manner (1080P AMOLED).

- Drying rivers is a common problem in Australia. Usually due to farming and other industry. So an already dry place becomes dryer.
So, I'm a little confused I have to admit. You use to live in the middle upper area and the catchment was at the bottom or top? Because if it was at the top then you'd have a gravity feed, which would then mean you were purposely being bypassed. Which to say the least, is cruel.
It was in one of the poorer districts, so...while I'm going to say that that was a reason, I'm sure it was one of the reasons. Lol.- Share

- It's amazing how many women I see with the plus sized iPhone...and some of them are the most petite ones too. I suppose it makes sense as you can throw that thing in a clutch and other sized purses.
The interesting part is you often see the cases these ladies use make the phone protected but a bit more humongous. Hey, I'd protect that super expensive tech too, so I don't blame them...- Share

- The DAC on this V20 hits the spot though. I didn't have to fiddle with the volume of the phone with the DAC enabled at all...things were loud and sound was still quite rich while riding the meat grinder that is MTA subways.

You're correct about that point though, I find that interesting myself from what I have noticed with the female YouTubers I follow. A lot of them have the plus iPhone (I'll even say that most, if not all of them, have that size). Interestingly enough, offline, my girl friends (and coworkers) who have iPhones have the regular sized one or a small one. I only know two ladies who have the Plus.
I was at a "party" last year that made me feel old (I know I'm not old, I just felt that way with the behavior of the other people there) and a girl kept asking me to hold her phone, which was a plus one. I started wondering if this is common, girls asking someone else to hold their big phone for a bit. I couldn't imagine that life for myself...- Share
