This is a 'simple' pumping station at Tala

The pumping station at Tala reservoir reflected in an almost still water against a moody sky - just before a swim.

Der See zum Gnubbel von vorgestern.

Zwischen bewaldeten Erhebungen liegt ein großer See mit leicht gekräuselter Oberfläche, aus dessen Mitte eine Betonkonstruktion mit seitlichen Öffnungen ragt. Wahrscheinlich ist das der Überlauf.

Recent news reports indicate that the Bird Flu virus (H5N1) has been detected in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and surrounding areas. This virus primarily impacts waterfowl and other birds that tend to flock and roost together, such as snow geese and crows.

schematic - the average surface hydrologic response to non-atmospheric rivers (AR) (a & b) and AR (c & d) precipitation events with (a & d) and without (b & c) existing snowpack

(a) Spatial distribution of the 6-month standardized precipitation index (SPI) for 1 October 2022 (left) and 1 April 2023 (right), based on the PRISM monthly precipitation model (Daly et al., 1994; Oregon State University, 2023). Gray lines denote study watersheds. (b) Spatial distribution of GNSS-inferred terrestrial water storage (TWS) in October 2022 relative to the average GNSS-inferred TWS for all months of October over the study period (left) and the same for March 2023 relative to all months of March (right) in equivalent water height. Water-storage changes are calculated from all nine inversion products. (c) Spatial distribution of the 1-month standardized storage anomaly (SSA) for 1 October 2022 (left) and 1 April 2023 (right), derived from the monthly deviations from mean TWS shown in panel (b). (d) Time series of 6-month SPI (top), 1-month SSA constrained by detrended GNSS-inferred TWS (middle), and 1-month SSA constrained by GNSS-inferred TWS with a linear trend retained (bottom), spatially integrated across the Sierra Nevada watersheds. Shaded gray bars at the end of each time series highlight the first six months of Water Year 2023, when atmospheric rivers delivered a significant influx of water.

Autumn beginning to show its face.

Landscape view across a reservoir (Tottiford on Dartmoor) with beech trees along the water's edge and tall conifers behind. Most of the trees are various shades of green, but the leaves of one beech show yellow, gold and russet.

The first destination on the itinerary was #FernworthyReservoir. It has a #MasonryDam, which is not a common form of #Dam, most being concrete or earth (embankment) dams in the #UK. There is a another one in Dartmoor and so I’m guessing there was a trend to build such types at the beginning of the twentieth century, which is when I happen to know the other one was built. Neither the dam nor the #reservoir are very big.
