The water level of Haweswater is over 37 feet below normal, and falling at a consistent rate or around three feet per week. Water is flowing in at less than one million gallons per day, as opposed to 80 million gallons going out. This leaves the distinctive white band of rock and shingle on the shoreline. The remains of the flooded and once picturesque hamlet of Mardale Green are visible.[1]
