IMG_6925_reservoir.jpg Karahnjukar dam and Halslon reservoir, a massive new contorversial hydro electricity project in North East Iceland, in the wilderness area of Vatnajokull, created by damming the Jokuls a Dal river. Controversial as it flooded a huge area of one of Europes last wilderness areas, that was home to nesting Whooper Swans and Pink Footed Geese. The project does however produce 40% of Icelands electricity from renewables. The projects statistics are as follows, power generation, 700MW, gross head, 600 metres, Max flow 144 M/sec, Halslon Lake area 57KM squared, storage volume 2.1 million metres, damheight 198m (the tallest in Europe) headrace tunnels 73km. 100 % of Icelands electricity is generated from renewables, 70% from hydro and 30% from geothermal. This shot shows the gate valve to control the water outflow to the power station.

IMG_3674_sewage.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 sewage outlet that was damaged in Workington.

IMG_5136_outflow.jpg China's environmental protection standards are woefully inadequate Many of their rivers as well as running dangerously low from over extraction and drought brought on by climate change are hideously polluted and litter strewn. This badly polluted river is in the industrial city of Hangang

IMG_0087_outflow.jpg Meltwater from the Russell Galcier that drains the Greenland Ice Sheet 26 km inland from Kangerlussuaq. Like most Greenland glaciers it is both receeding and speeding up as a result of global warming and the rivers that drain them are becoming more swollen by greater quantities of melt water
