Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire | Visual Investigation of Water Levels Post Hosepipe Ban (July 2025)

#drought #WaterScarcity #LadybowerReservoir

A visual examination of Ladybower Reservoir western inflow in Derbyshire, filmed following the recent hosepipe ban issued from Friday, 11 July 2025. The footage is from Sunday, 13 July 2025, as I personally went to investigate the situation.

This footage depicts the changes in the reservoir basin textures and water levels. The aim was to satisfy my own curiosity and educate the affected communities. I'm also grateful to the r/Sheffield community https://www.reddit.com/r/sheffield/co... for their thoughtful inputs and observations. Loosely put, enjoy the flight.
