Highland 'no' Water

 

This week's bare naked bottom is that of Highland Water. Highland Water is one of the main tributaries of the Lymington River. Now I've seen it this low many times before, and so am not too worried at present, it's more for what duration it remains this low that's my worry; in the past it's been for a matter of days, fleeting, whereas this could be for weeks which is a very different matter. Whether this is entirely the consequence of climate change or a combination of that and natural weather fluctuations is moot, there should be no doubt our climate crisis is accentuating weather events. Even now though some pools still remain in the meanders and deeper spots, although already the water quality in these pools is murky, and they can only deteriorate from here out; and that will no doubt be detrimental to the forest's wildlife.
