The water should go into the ground, not down the rivers!
Reporting from north eastern Germany: there’s tons of water going in the ground here. More than I personally like. It’s been raining on/off for two weeks straight.
Which is long overdue. Yeah, it's not exactly inviting "let's spend the day outside" summer weather, but we've effectively had several years of drought, the rain is desperately needed.
