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_2563_flame.jpg A roadside fire near Shepperton, Victoria, Australia, probably started by a motorist throwing a cigarette out of the window. The drought in Victoria lead to catastrophic bush fires in 2009. on Balck Saturday the temperatures reached 47 degrees centigrade. Catastrophic forest fires left 173 people dead with 7000 left homeless. Such conditions are likely to become more common due to climate change.

IMG_2151_grass.jpg Grass on a lawn brown and dried up due to the drought in Cumbria, which has had only 50% of average rainfall since December 2009. It seems ironic that we are now in a drought only 6 months after the worst ever floods to hit Cumbria. Computer modelling of how the weather and climate will change predicts exactly this, for the NW UK, that we wil get periods of excessive rainfall, followed by periods of drought. Whilst the rainfall totals for the year may remain similar, its distribution throughout the year will alter markedly, with far greater peaks and troughs.

IMG_2237_water shortage.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 Eildon was built in the 1950's to provide irrigation water, but the last time it was full was in 1995. The day the shot was taken it was at 29% capacity with levels down around 75 feet. The trees that were drowned and killed when the reservoir was first filled now stand well clear of the water.
