IMG_2674_drought.jpg The dried up lake bed of the slat lake at Salinas in Murcia Spain. This area is a natural depression where water draining into, has no way out. The resulting salt lake can only be drained by evaporation. As this part of Spain gets drier due to climate change the lagoon is more often dry.

366W5940_virgin.jpg An Air Greenland helicopter flies over the Jacobshavn glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and is the largest glacier outside of Antarctica. It calves enough ice in one day to supply New York with water for one year. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day (19 metres per day before 2002) and has also receeded rapidly (40 km since 1850) due to human induced climate change as temperatures have risen in Greenland by 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. An underwater moraine at the mouth of the fjord grounds the largest icebergs causing a backlog of ice completely blocking the entire length of the fjord with ice.

IMG_0036_cool.jpg The Russells Glacier draining the Greenland icesheet inland from Kangerlussuaq on Greenlands west coast. This glacier has speeded up in recent years and is also receeding rapidly due to human induced climate change. Greenland has warmed nine degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. Scientists believe the glacier is moving faster as increased quantities of meltwater are flowing down through moulins to reach the base of the glacier which then acts as a lubricant and allows the glacier to flow faster.

IMG_8385_drainage.jpg Drainage ditch in peat bog on Eaglesham Moor, Scotland, UK. Draining peat bog is disastrous for the environment. It negatively impacts on valuable habitat, reduces water quality in rivers, results in faster runoff and great flooding downstream.

IMG_0694_Illulissat.jpg Traditional Inuit Kayaks in Illulisat on Greenland. Ilulissat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the Jacobshavn Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq which is the largest glacier outside Antarctica. The glacier drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces enough water from calving icebergs in one day to provide New York with water for 1 year. Climate change has meant the glacier has speeded up and is now one of the fastest glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day and is also receeding rapidly

IMG_4507_gripped.jpg Boggy Moorland above Wet Sleddale that has had drainage ditches dug into the peat, known as gripping, to try and make the ground more suitable for sheep grazing. This is disastrous environmentally, causing a triple whammy of destruction. for a marginal gain in sheep farming, it degrades the moorland bog as a habitat for specialist plants and animals, it reduces the peat bogs ability to lock away and store carbon, and it greatly increases the flood risk downstream, as rain water drains straight off the land, rather than being taken up and released slowly by the peat and sphagnum moss.

IMG_6963_flooded drains.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. This shot shows the pressure of the floodwater bubbling up through a man hole cover in Ambleside, UK.
