Raw sewage was discharged for more than 1,000 hours from a Thames water overflow pipe into a landmark environmental wetland at the Olympic Park last year, the Guardian can reveal.
The combined sewer overflow, at Mulberry Court, pumped untreated waste 91 times into the waterway which feeds into the River Lea. This year the same CSO has already discharged for 34 hours in 20 incidents.
The area of wetland was created as part of the development of the Olympic Park, and heralded as a legacy project to create a haven for plants, animals and insects for people to enjoy.

Shanghai
Pudong Skyline, by night, Shanghai, China. Skyline of Pudong as seen from the Bund, with landmark Oriental Pearl tower and Jin Mao tower, Shanghai, China. The word "bund" means an embankment or an embanked quay. The word comes from the Persian word band, through Hindustani, meaning an embankment, levee or dam (a cognate of English terms "bind", "bond" and "band", and the German word "Bund", etc.). It is thus named after the bunds/levees in Baghdad along the Tigris, when the Baghdadi Jews such as the prominent Sassoon family settled their business in Shanghai in the 19th century and built heavily on the bund on the Huangpo. In these Chinese port cities, the English term came to mean, especially, the embanked quay along the shore. In English, "Bund" is pronounced to rhyme with "fund".
There are numerous sites in India, China, and Japan which are called "bunds" (e.g. the Yokohama Bund). However, "The Bund", without qualification as to location, usually refers to this stretch of embanked riverfront in Shanghai.
The Chinese name for the Bund is unrelated in meaning: it means literally the "outer bank," referring to the Huangpu River, because this part of the riverfront was located farther downstream than the "inner bank" area adjacent to the old walled city of Shanghai. The Shanghai Bund has dozens of historical buildings, lining the Huangpu River, that once housed numerous banks and trading houses from the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as the consulates of Russia and Britain, a newspaper, the Shanghai Club and the Masonic Club. The Bund lies north of the old, walled city of Shanghai. It was initially a British settlement; later the British and American settlements were combined in the International Settlement. Magnificent commercial buildings in the Beaux Arts style sprung up in the years around the turn of the 20th century as the Bund developed into a major financial center of East Asia.

Shanghai
Pundong area, Shanghai. Skyscrapers near IFC. Shanghai International Finance Centre, usually abbreviated as Shanghai IFC, is a commercial building complex and a shopping centre (branded Shanghai IFC mall) in Shanghai. It incorporates two tower blocks at 249.9 metres (south tower) and 259.9 metres (north tower) housing offices and a hotel, and an 85-metre tall multi-storey building behind and between the two towers.
Shanghai IFC is located in Lujiazui, in Pudong, Shanghai. It occupies a prominent position southeast of the Lujiazui roundabout, diagonally across from the Oriental Pearl Tower and across the road from Super Brand Mall. It is adjacent to Lujiazui Station on Metro Line 2, and can be accessed directly from the underground station via a tunnel.
The south tower of Shanghai IFC and part of the multistorey building was completed in 2009, while the north tower and the rest of the complex was completed in 2010. Work continued for several years afterwards on peripheral aspects of the development, including landscaping and footbridge connections to nearby buildings and Lujiazui Central Park.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel occupies the south tower, while the north tower houses the current Shanghai headquarters of HSBC in China. Other prominent tenants of the complex include an Apple Store under the sunken forecourt of the building (topped by a cylindrical glass skylight rising from the forecourt), a multi-screen cinema, and a Citysuper supermarket. The remainder of the retail area is largely taken up by upscale chain restaurants and international luxury fashion brands. (Photo by Sergi Reboredo)*** Please Use Credit from Credit Field ***

Top five NASA Landsat observation satellites images of Earth - 24 Jul 2012

2nd Place
Top five NASA Landsat Satellites Images of Earth
During a span of 40 years, since 1972, the Landsat series of Earth observation satellites has become a vital reference worldwide for understanding scientific issues related to land use and natural resources.
Beyond the scientific information they supply, some Landsat images are simply striking to look at, presenting spectacular views of mountains, valleys, and islands as well as forests, grasslands, and agricultural patterns.
By selecting certain features and colouring them from a digital palate, the U.S. Geological Survey has created a series of "Earth as Art" perspectives that demonstrate an artistic resonance in satellite land imagery and provide a special avenue of insight about the geography of each scene.
NASA asked the public to vote on their favourite images from the more than 120 images in the online "Earth as Art" collection. From over 14,000 votes the top five winners were:
1st Place: Van Gogh from Space Landsat 7 Acquired 7/13/2005. In the style of Van Gogh's painting "Starry Night," massive congregations of greenish phytoplankton swirl in the dark water around Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea. Population explosions, or blooms, of phytoplankton, like the one shown here, occur when deep currents bring nutrients up to sunlit surface waters, fuelling the growth and reproduction of these tiny plants.
2nd Place: Yukon Delta Landsat 7 Acquired 9/22/2002. Countless lakes, sloughs, and ponds are scattered throughout this scene of the Yukon Delta in southwest Alaska. One of the largest river deltas in the world, and protected as part of the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge, the river's sinuous waterways seem like blood vessels branching out to enclose an organ.
3rd Place: Meandering Mississippi Landsat 7 Acquired 5/28/2003. ...

Mute swan seems rrozen to the ice and snow on the waterways of the Somerset Levels, Mute swans captured by Secret World Animal Rescue on the Somerset Levels - the swans were starving and stuck in frozen water...some eaten by foxes. Now recovering at Secret World Near Highbridge, Somerset
Rescue Centre Helps Avoid Birds' Swansong
Twenty-one swans have been rescued from freezing conditions on a waterway on the Somerset Levels, but 10 have been found dead on the ice.
Volunteers from Secret World Wildlife Rescue captured the birds, which were starving or stuck in the ice on the South Drain.
Animal care manager Sara Cowan said the swans could not find food because the ground and the water were frozen.
She said they had been put in a pen and would be fed until the weather eased.
"With the big freeze nothing has thawed and everything is really struggling now," she said.
"The swans are having terrible problems. They're flying around trying to find their waterways, but everything's just white and they're coming down on anything.
"We've had three on the hard shoulder of the M5 in the last two days.
"Once it's all defrosted they can come back down, but for now we will look after them."

UK's steepest lock flight marks 250th birthday amid canal funding fears
Events to be held this weekend celebrating Bingley Five Rise locks, which opened in 1774 and is still in use.
For people who like their thrills gentle, safe and at never more than three miles an hour, Bingley Five Rise locks is quite a rollercoaster ride.
The canal lock flight in West Yorkshire, the steepest in the UK and a true wonder of the nation's waterways, will this weekend celebrate its 250th birthday.
When it opened in 1774, about 30,000 people gathered awestruck to watch the first boats make the 60ft descent through the five linked locks.
Britain’s A canal boat passes through Bingley Five Rise Locks in West Yorkshire, the steepest lock flight in the country, which celebrates its 250th anniversary this weekend as the government is cutting funding for the canal network by 40%.
