  • A bridge over 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

"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."
