HWW ~ Rooden Reservoir

As we start our steep decent to the Ogden and Piethorne reservoir chain I look over the wall and see again a reservoir that we have never walked to. This is the small Rooden reservoir and we can see how low it is in our current draught conditions after having no significant rainfall now for nearly two months with almost continuous sunny warm weather.

See and follow PiP for info about building these walls.

Enjoy the day.

Ja, das Wasser wird knapp. Auch hier sieht es so aus und kürzlich hörte ich einen Bericht, daß die Stauseen in Zukunft noch weniger Wasser haben könnten.

HWW,Herb und eine gute zweite Wochenhälfte.

Herb Riddle replied to LotharW:

Thank you Lothar. Yes I see on our weather maps that many parts of Germany has also been dry. It is all forecast to change this weekend with rainfall every day for a week at least.

HWW, enjoy the rest of the week too. Herbert

Most reservoirs in the NW are very low now Gordon. Expecting rainfall by Sunday, the first for weeks now. Yes a good walk here.

Yes almost all our farm fields are divided by such dry-stone walls here. Glad you liked it.
