EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph from 1921, the depleted water stores of London, England, are shown in a stark and revealing view. The image, looking east towards the Thames estuary, reveals the extent of the water shortages that affected the city during this period. With a population of seven million people spread over 558 square miles, the demand for water was immense. The various water sources, including reservoirs and mains, can be seen in the photograph. One of the largest reservoirs, Bessborough Reservoir, is visible in the upper left corner of the image. Other reservoirs, such as Littleton and Kempton, can also be seen. The Thames River, which was a major source of water for London, is visible in the lower right corner of the photograph. The drought conditions of 1921 had left the water stores seriously depleted. The map in the lower left corner of the image shows the extent of the Greater London area and the location of the various water works. The Barnes Waterworks, which supplied water to the western part of London, can be seen in the upper right corner of the image. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, provides a glimpse into the water supply challenges faced by London during this period. The depleted water stores and the need to extract water from the Thames estuary highlight the importance of water conservation and the need for a reliable water supply system. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of managing water resources sustainably, especially during times of drought. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the vulnerability of urban populations to water shortages and the importance of investing in water infrastructure to ensure a reliable water supply. The image also showcases the value of aerial photography in understanding the spatial distribution of water resources and the impact of environmental conditions on water availability.
