To Keep the Water Flowing is an ongoing project in collaboration with Emeritus Professor Greg Bankoff. The project involves filming a short documentary film and creating a photographic publication focussed on water level management across the UK. The outputs are created to communicate academic research to a general audience through film and photography.
The below portraits are work-in-progress examples of images of those stakeholders, workers and employees engaged in water level management in Somerset, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Cumbria.
