IMG_9247_flood restoration.jpg On Thursday 19th November 2009 over 31cm of rain fell in 24 hours on the Cumbrian mountains. The single largest rainfall total in the British Isles since records began. It caused unprecedented flooding, with Cockermouth being particularly badly hit after both the Cocker and Derwent burst their banks. The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. Many residents will not only be out of their houses over Christmas but it could be up to a year before some return. This shots shows a shop on Cockermouth's main street being dried out with fans and dehumidifiers.

Many also had their electricity supplies cut off as sub stations were affected by the floods. Estimates for the cost of the  devastating and unprecedented summer floods are arounf £5 billion.

IMG_1746_soil erosion.jpg On saturday 18th July 2009 70 mm of rain fell over the north East UK onto already saturated ground. The river Wear burst its banks, innundating the floodplain around the city of Durham and flooding many properties. As the water in the river started to drop, a section of the banking collapsed into the river. The flood water that was held back on the floodplain now suddenly had a shortcut back into the river. As the floodwaters tore back into the river channel they eroded a huge gully that has been called the Durham Canyon. The erosion feature is up to 15 feet deep, up to 100 feet across and 200 yards long. 12,000 cubic metres of soil were washed into the river from a field of Barley at Shincliffe near Durham. As climate change accelerates such damage from severe weather events will increase.
