  • Los Laureles, one of two reservoirs that serve the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa, is currently at approximately half capacity, the water level drops more frequenty than ever and the driest months of the year bring the water level to previously unseen levels. The reservoir, according to the national water authority, SANAA, serves around 210,000 people with drinking water. The UN climate change panel, IPCC, have repeatedly predicted likelihood of reduced precipitation for the region, and cities as well as smaller rural communities are in danger of running out of water.

  • Maria collects water from a pond on the Choluteca River, also known as the Rio Grande. With the prolonged droughts in this region, because of climate change, the river frequently dries up except for ponds on the river bed.

  • Jesús García Hernández, in the village of Los Horcones, Langue, Valle, Honduras. "The community is affected by a prolonged drought. We’ve just lost another harvest, it’s gone on for nine years. Winters used to be good, we’d have rain. Now we have years where there’s no water in the streams, the rivers, the wells. We need water, without it we suffer. The crops need water, without it they don’t grow and we don’t get a crop, it’s simple. The trees keep the humidity, but man has chopped down the trees. Now the trees that are left are drying up”. <br />
<br />
Jesús stands next to an empty rainwater harvesting tank at his house.

"We're in the middle of the river, in the middle of what was the river, it shouldn't be like this should it? Even when it rains, which is rare now, the water disappears quickly, the crops fail without irrigation, but now the wells keep drying up so we can't irrigate. I've just taken my cattle away, they can't survive here without water. In fact we can't survive here without water."

  • The Rio Grande at Agua Fria, now reduced to a small stream of water and stagnant pools. In previous years during rainy season, the river would be in full flow, but in recent years the river has reduced and in many areas dried up.

  • A woman holds a padlock on a hatch on the community well. The drought affecting this area near Langue, Valle, has gone on for nearly ten years, resulting from climate change. The local wells have either dried up, or they have locking hatches over them, to allow rationing of water in the community.

  • In La Flor, near Somotillo, water scarcity because of the persistent drought continues to cause major difficulties for people living there. Through the Lutheran Church in Nicaragua, ELCA has run several projects aimed at dealing with the difficulty. A deep well has been drilled and this solar-powered pump unit has been set up to pump water from around 45m depth. This water provides neighbours with water for drinking and washing.

  • José Santos deepens his well to find water in El Burrillo, Valle, Honduras. With ongoing drought and irresponsible management of water resources by commercial agriculture, the water table has dropped and this has brought water scarcity for many villages and subsitence farmers.

  • A bridge over the Rio Iztoca in southern Honduras. Though it is the rainy season, the river bed is dry. The river has dried up in recent years, along with many other rivers in the region, this is thought to be partly from stripping of vegetation and forest cover in the watersheds that feed the rivers in the south, and also due to the influence of climate change. The IPCC predicted a likelihood of reduced rainfall in the region. Agriculture has already been failing in the area for eight years because of drought conditions.

  • A man brings an ox-drawn cart along the dry river bed of the Choluteca river in Honduras, carrying firewood. As the prolonged drought here, linked to climate change, continues, farmers resort to chopping down their trees to sell as firewood to make ends meet, further exacerbating the environmental crisis.
