IMG_2415_restrictions.jpg A farmers watering hole on a farm near Shepperton, Victoria, Australia, almost dried up. Victoria and New South Wales have been gripped by the worst drought in living memory for the last 15 years. River levels have dropped, water holes have dried up and stocking rates on many farms have dropped as the land can no longer support as many beasts.

IMG_3229_reservoir.jpg Most of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia has been in the grip of an unprecedented drought for the last ten years. River levels have dropped and reservoirs are at a fraction of their capacity. Lake Hume is the largest reservoir in Australia and was set up to provide irrigation water for farms further down the Murray Basin and drinking water for Adelaide. On the day this photograph was taken it was at 19.6% capacity. By the end of the summer of 2009 it dropped to 2.1 % capacity. Such impacts of the drought are liekly to worsen as a result of climate change.

IMG_3285_ranch.jpg Cattle on parched land near Lake Hume in New South Wales, Australia. Many farms in the area have seen their stocking rates fall by over 40% as the land can no longer grow enough grass to feed the cattle as a result of the prolonged drought.

Many farms in the area have seen their stocking rates fall by over 40% as the land can no longer grow enough grass to feed the cattle as a result of the prolonged drought. In the background the forest has been burnt out by a bush fire also becoming more common due to the drought.

IMG_5025_swimming pool.jpg A swimming pool on a burnt out house plot in Marysville which was one of the worst affected communities of the catastrophic 2009 Australian Bush Fires in the state of Victoria. 173 people were killed and many more left injured and traumatised, with 7000 left homeless. The fires were as a result of a prolonged drought and extreme high temperatures, conditions that are being exaserbated by climate change.

IMG_4176_water restrictions.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.
