“☀️ 🌧️ August was dominated by hot and dry weather, although more unsettled conditions brought rain towards month-end. An exceptional heatwave impacted England and Wales between the 10th and 14th, with amber heat alerts issued. Total August rainfall for the UK was below average; in parts less than two thirds of average.
🌊 River flows were generally below normal to exceptionally low across eastern Scotland, England and Wales, but in the normal range and above in western Scotland. Groundwater levels continued their seasonal recession, with most sites in the normal range to notably low. Reservoir stocks for England & Wales were 61% of average, stocks in most impoundments decreased relative to average, some substantially so.
🏔️ Much of eastern Scotland was in moderate to severe scarcity all month, whilst by the end of August all of England and Wales was in prolonged dry weather or drought status.
💧The Hydrological Outlook indicates that below normal river flows are likely to continue in the south and east throughout Autumn but are likely to be normal to above normal elsewhere…”

Hydrographie du site d’Angkor
Tom nous fournit quelques explications globales sur l’hydrographie d’Angkor. Le site comprend les ruines d’une dizaine de capitales royales qui se sont superposées et imbriquées dans un réseau hydraulique, aujourd’hui asséché. Ces villes datent toutes du IXe au XIIIe siècle. Chaque nouveau roi manifestait sa légitimité en recréant réservoirs, temples et palais, d’où la multiplication des capitales. Elles ont été progressivement abandonnées par le lent processus de transfert du royaume vers Phnom Penh et le delta du Mékong.
Le Cambodge est sujet à la mousson et l’eau est surabondante une saison avant de manquer à la suivante. Survivre exige donc de capter l’eau et de la gérer par un réseau de réservoirs ou baray et de canaux d’irrigation. Une aristocratie militaire a mis en place dès le IXe siècle ce système en branchant sur les rivières des réservoirs artificiels, les barays, surélevés par rapport au niveau des terres à irriguer par des digues. La distribution des eaux est alors assurée par la déclivité. Ce qui permet deux à trois récoltes par an. Et qui augmente la population, donc la puissance militaire et économique du pays, nécessaire aussi pour l’entretien : d’incessants travaux de curage et d’exhaussement des digues.
Au XIVe siècle, une succession de grandes sécheresses puis de moussons violentes ont déstabilisé le système, déjà fragilisé par l’érosion des sols due à la déforestation, pour pousser les élites à migrer vers le delta du Mékong, plus prospère économiquement. Le royaume d’Angkor chute en 1431, date jésuite tirée d’une chronique thaïlandaise, mais qui signale seulement qu’Angkor n’est plus capitale. Elle n’est pas pour autant abandonnée et demeure un centre monastique et religieux. Cependant, le passage au bouddhisme theravada rend les monuments plus impermanents, en bois principalement, qui n’ont pas laissé de traces sauf de grandes esplanades en pierres sur lesquels ils étaient peut-être montés. .
Jacques Népote, ancien chargé de recherche au CNRS et ex-directeur de la revue Péninsule explique : « Au centre de chaque terroir considéré s’érige un « temple-montagne » de type Bakong, Bakheng, Pre Rup, Takeo… qui représente le mont divin, au sommet duquel est érigé le symbole divinisé de la force royale, un linga. À cette « montagne » sont adjoints deux temples complémentaires dont la fonction est de légitimer le roi : celui dédié à ses ancêtres féminins, « maîtresses du Sol » – type Prah Ko – et celui dédié aux ancêtres masculins, vecteurs de la fonction royale – type Lolei. À l’aplomb et « au pied » de ce temple-montagne, est édifié le palais où réside le roi en tant qu’être vivant. Au cœur du palais, se trouve un bâtiment très particulier, dont le prototype est le Phiméanakas, où le roi vient rejouer tous les soirs le mythe de fondation du royaume en allant coucher avec l’une de ses concubines habillée en Serpente. »
Puis nous allons à l’hôtel car il est déjà plus de 16h30 et tous les sites ferment vers 17h30. L’hôtel est le Seam Siem Riep à quatre étoiles comme d’habitude. Il est de très bon standing avec une climatisation déjà mise dans la chambre grâce à une seconde carte d’accès. Un plateau de fruits est offert sur la table, que je dévore illico : trois petites bananes, une grappe de longanes et une goyave verte. Il faut toujours emporter un canif pour éplucher dans ses bagages de soute.
Le dîner a lieu à l’hôtel, à 20 heures. Demain, nous partons à sept heures avec un petit-déjeuner à partir de six heures, pour une très longue journée de visites. Le dîner est bon mais trop copieux : salade de mangue, plats aux trois spécialités, poisson à la tomate, bœuf sauté aux légumes, curry de légumes, riz au jasmin, et dessert de riz gluant bourratif. Le pétrole fête aujourd’hui ses 80 ans et offre l’apéritif à tout le monde, c’est une gentille attention. Le restaurant a préparé un gâteau avec une unique bougie, une génoise fourré d’une crème en conserve de couleur rose, au goût américain. Tous les réglages des éclairages et de l’alarme se font sur un tableau de bord posé sur la table de nuit. Mais qui enlève la clé de la chambre en sortant remet tous les réglages zéro, et il faut à nouveau rentrer l’heure qu’il est et l’heure de l’alarme pour le réveil.

“🌍 Why is this important?
While reservoirs are widely recognized for mitigating drought impacts, their role in controlling how drought propagates through the hydrological cycle has remained largely unexplored. In this study, [the authors] investigate how reservoir storage influences the transition of drought from meteorological to agricultural to reservoir to streamflow drought across the semi-arid Krishna River Basin, India.
🔍 THIS STUDY ADDRESSES TWO KEY RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
✅ How do drought propagation time (initiation, peak, and termination) change from meteorological to agricultural, reservoir, and streamflow droughts across different timescales and threshold values?
✅ How does reservoir storage influence drought propagation between upstream and downstream reservoirs using the Downstreamness concept?
📌 KEY FINDINGS
🔹 Drought propagation differs substantially across drought types because each component of the hydrological system responds at different rates.
🔹 Reservoirs significantly delay the propagation of drought by buffering water deficits, particularly between agricultural and streamflow drought.
🔹 Mild and moderate upstream reservoir droughts rarely propagate downstream, whereas severe upstream droughts consistently transmit downstream, leading to longer duration, greater severity, and delayed onset.
🔹 The downstreamness analysis reveals dynamic shifts in water storage between upstream and downstream reservoirs throughout drought development and recovery, providing valuable insights for reservoir operation and basin-scale drought management…”

“HIGHLIGHTS
• Reservoir storage impact on drought propagation from meteorological-to-hydrological drought.
• Drought propagation timeframe: initiation, peak and termination are checked.
• Impact assessment using hydrological connection: upstream to downstream reservoirs.
• Severe upstream droughts propagate downstream with increased duration and severity.
• During drought periods water-storage concentration shifts from downstream to upstream..."

The reservoir in Ray Wood, Castle Howard, North Yorkshire.
Expanded to its present size to feed the Atlas Fountain in the garden of the stately home, the reservoir sits peacefully at the top of a hill surrounded by trees.
The bottom sloped very quickly away at the edge, and warning signs foretold of significant depth. Weirdly, despite how much I love sinking into muddy bogs, deep water like this kinda scares me and I would leave it well alone.

Decoupling Of Surface Water Storage From Precipitation In Global Drylands Due To Anthropogenic Activity
--
https://doi.org/10.1038/s44221-024-00367-7 <-- shared paper
--
“The availability of surface water in global drylands is essential for both human society and ecosystems. However, the long-term drivers of change in surface water storage, particularly those related to anthropogenic activities, remain unclear. Here [they] use[d] multi-mission remote sensing data to construct monthly time series of water storage changes from 1985 to 2020 for 105,400 lakes and reservoirs in global drylands. An increase of 2.20 km³ per year in surface water storage is found primarily due to the construction of new reservoirs. For lakes and old reservoirs (constructed before 1983), conversely, the trend in storage is minor when aggregated globally, but they dominate surface water storage trends in 91% of individual global dryland basins. Further analysis reveals that long-term storage changes in these water bodies are primarily linked to anthropogenic factors - including human-induced warming and water-management practices - rather than to precipitation changes, as previously thought. These findings reveal a decoupling of surface water storage from precipitation in global drylands, raising concerns about societal and ecosystem sustainability…”

Back in the 80s all our (UK) #government run #water #companies were #privatised, thanks to right wing government dogma. The government then set up a regulator whose function was primarily to keep prices low. Of course, that didn't stop the companies paying out enormous dividends, but it did stop any investment to update the infrastructure,
The result is that, now there is some recognition that #climatechange is real, we have near bankrupt companies and #infrastructure not fit for purpose. It's not that we need the existing infrastructure repaired we need more #reservoirs and #pipelines to shift it where it's needed.
I wish there was someone who could tell me I have this wrong?
