(Spts) LAKE DISTRICT WATER PLAN SCRUTINISED ‘A public inquiry opened yesterday into plans to pump extra water from the Lake District National Park to refill reservoirs drained by drought. United Utilities has submitted its proposals to take water from two lakes, Windermere and Ullswater, to public scrutiny because of concerns about the potential damage to wildlif Anglers are concerned that spawning sites for salmon and trout could dry out if water is drained from the rivers that flow from the lakes. But the utilities company insists that removing and treating the extra water will not hurt local flora and fauna. The hearing, headed by the government inspector, Stuart Nixon, is being held in the Cumbrian town of Windermere and will last for two days. A final decision is expected to be taken later this month by Margaret Beckett, the Environment Secretary. United Utilities insists that the drought orders are necessary to prevent the further depletion of water from two of its reservoirs in the Lake District, Haweswater and Thirlnere. Because of the unusually dry summer this year, Haweswater has only 53 per cent of its capacity compared with 68 percent at the same time last year. Thirimere has just 47 percent, whereas last year it had 79 percent. If United Utilities is given the go-ahead, it would be able to take extra water from the Windermere and Ullswater rivers — Leven and Eamont respectively ~ this winter, rather than having to take emergency measures next year. Water from Ullswater would be piped into Haweswater reservoir; water from Windermere would enter the local supply. and prevent further depletion of Thirlmere, Water supplies would reach two million people in Manchester, Lancashire, south Cumbria and parts of Cheshire. Cumbria Wildlife Trust said taking extra water could pose problems for wildlife if not properly managed. But a spokesman said it was not opposing United Utilities’ plans because it was better for water to be drained in the wet winter months rather than in the summer. ‘If they don’t lave to do it now, they will hhave to do it in April,” the spokesman sai Shared by Angels of Dickon Knight, the agent for the landowner Holker Estates, said the SRPd6E@HMum flows on the river Leven would harm efforts to protect salmon stocks. Alistair Maltby, the manager of the Eden Rivers Trust, said taking water from the rivers during the winter was the best approach but urged United Utilities to mend leaks in its pipes in the long run. Gary Dixon, customer service manager at United Utilities, said, “We can’t predict what supplies will be like over the winter. Normally this is when our reservoirs would refill but if the low rainfall continues we need to start planning ahead for next summer. Taking action now will have a lower impact on the river environment than during the spring.” ‘The company said the deluge of rain in recent weeks was helping to top up the reservoirs. John Carberry, a spokesman, said, “There is no erisis and no panic, but we are looking ahead for next year. There ‘a potential impact on the environment which is why we are seeking permission to do what we want to do.’ The Environment Agency said it would work with the utility company to ensure any damage to fish stocks was kept to a minimum. 66.

You have to be organized to be a wildlife photographer.” (74) And there’s more to it than simply having the tight sun hat, as Heather Angel should know, since she is one of Britain’s best-known photographers of the natural world, Indeed, according to Nottingham Photographic Society, which is one of the many organizations that have invited her to give an illustrated talk, she is ‘one of the world’s truly great natural history photographers’. (75) For example, the University of Nottingham recently appointed her as the first UK professor of wildlife photography. Asa child, Heather was always interested in the natural world. "I used to collect insects in the jars and ‘my grandparents taught me the names of all the wild flowers which grew around their farm,’ she remarked ‘Then she was given a camera for the 21" birthday, and went off to spend several months on Norway taking pictures of marine wildlife. (76) On her return, her development as a professional photographer was helped along by gaining degrees in zoology and marine ecology, an academic background which also trained her to do careful studies of whatever plants or animals she was planning to photograph. (77) her images appear regularly in many international journals and on TV worldwide. Of course, wildlife being wildlife, animals like African elephants and emperor penguins don’t sit around waiting for humans with cameras to arrive. Patience is needed. (78) Yet there was the ever-present threat of danger. ‘In October, some time after I was there, two scientists were attacked by a male bear,’ says Heather. ‘We try never to get too close to a big male, and we also make sure we never get between a mother and her cub.” Asked what special qualities she brings to the job, Heather explains that she reacts very quickly to a situation and maximises the opportunities that are there. (79) This helps her to write more detailed articles and books about the places she visits and to capture the most revealing images. Page 5 of 6 pagesThere aren’t many places in the world that Heather hasn’t already secn, but she told me that her ambitions include working in the canopy of a rainforest and visiting Patagonia for the first ime, (80) No doubt her spectacular South American photographs will soon be appearing in magazines throughout the world, A.

Despite this, animals have been a lifelong passion for Heather. D. Since gaining these skills, he has became one of the world’s most respected wildlife photographers, E.
