Our reservoirs today

Our reservoirs today
A glimpse of one of our local reservoirs here, some weeks after possibly the driest year on record. We have had rains over the past weeks bur it might take years to fill this up again. I have never seen the levels as low as this in over fifty years. This is Lowers Swineshaw Reservoir, the accompanying PiP shows Higher Swineshaw reservoir on the same day. The second PiP shows the normal levels taken in 2020.

A stranger told me, as I took this photo, that water was being pumped out of these reservoirs and being sent to southern England as their water shortage is worse than here. We have no official drought here in Lancashire.

Enjoy your day

Gotcha' on that Herb'.. moving water around just goes to show what a huge amount of planning went into these systems when first built.. pipework - pumping stations and storage.. I understand that our Derwent / Ladybower dams supply down to Leicester.. going on 60 miles.// Dj.
