20100713_IMG_4176.jpg Thirlmere reservoir in the Lake District UK, with a hosepipe ban in affect in the North West. United Utilities applied for the drought order, after the driest start to the year since 1929, with less than 50% of normal rainfall. The drought comes hot on the heals of the worst floods that Cumbria has ever seen, when in November 2009, United Utilities had to open the emergency valves to let water out, as the dam was in danger of collapsing when the water reached unprecendented high levels. Climate modelling shows that as the atmosphere warms we are more likely to move to a cycle of flood followed by drought.

20120310_0017.jpg Swithland Reservoir near Loughborough in Leicestershire taken in early March 2012. At the end of winter reservoir levels in the UK are normally full and often overflowing the spillway. following 2 dry winters and summers many reservoirs are well down with a hosepipe ban being introduced in many eastern areas. It is the earliest a hosepipe ban has ever been introduced in the UK. Climate change modelling redicts the south and east of the UK will get progressively drier.

IMG_0677 (1)_p.jpg Following the warmest and driest April on record, moorland fires broke out across the UK. Ogden Moor near Wainstalls above Halifax was one of many victims. Several square Km of moorland burned for four days. The blaze was tackled by fire fighters, but despite their efforts the blaze destroyed valuable moorland habitat, killing mammals and amphibians and destroying nesting birds nests. The wind farm was also closed down for a number of days as the blades were a danger to the helicopters fighting the blaze with aerial water drops. This shot shows tractors connected to hose pipes spraying the moorland to damp it down and to start the fire re-igniting that was still smouldering in the peat below.
