Why would water stop flowing and not return for ten minutes or more?

Your bladder may be empty or you have a case of "shy kidneys." But seriously, if the water in your home stops flowing intermittently, it's likely the water company's fault or, if you have a private well, there's a problem with your pump and pressure tank. Municipal water companies and utilities are notoriously unreliable and often don't inform users about interruptions due to maintenance. Also, during peak usage periods, water pressure can decrease markedly, sometimes necessitating localized shut-offs.

How does fast flowing waters help weathering?
The faster the water the faster the erosion or weathering. If you were taking a shower and the water was just dribbling out it would take many minutes to rinse the soap off of you. If you had the faucet on full you would wash it all off in seconds. Now think of a small trickle of water over a boulder, it would probably take millions of years to make a 1 inch trench. If you were to have a river flowing over it it would only take a few thousand of years. When you add sediment to water it cuts the time drastically. The more sediment and the faster the flow of water the faster the weathering. The sediment acts like sand paper that the water is moving. You can literally cut metal with powerful jets of water with grit in it.
