The charts illustrate the sources of power in three different periods in Gareline, with 
the data divided into 6 different areas.
In 1970, nearly half of all electricity was derived from hydro power, which accounted 
for 45% of the total. Geothermal production was slightly less than half this value, 
followed by wind power which created 5% of all power, with gas and the category 
labelled as 'other' making just over one percent each.
In 1980, the figure for hydro power had increased dramatically, making over three 
quarters of the total. Geothermal, wind and nuclear power created 8%, 7% and 6% 
respectively, with the other two categories increasing by only 0.2%.
By 1990, the trend for hydro power had reversed, with the most productive category now 
being geothermal power. Wind power had remained constant but there was a significant 
increase in electricity produced by nuclear power, accounting for 15.5%. There was a 
minor increase once again for wind power and the 'other' category.
In total, geothermal power and hydro power were always the most productive, 
although nuclear power was increasing.

The chart details the length of different quality water in rivers in England
 
 
The bar chart shows the length of water that was in good, fair or poor condition each 
year from 1993 to 2003.
The largest increase given in the graph is from 1993 to 1994, where the amount of good 
quality water increased by over one third to 18,500 kilometres. A slight increase the 
following year was followed by a brief decline until 1998, when the length of good 
water increased from 19,500 kilometres to 24,000 in 2001 and 2002, although this was 
then followed by a drop of 3,000 km in 2003.
The length of water that was deemed to be fair quality varied between 13,000 kilometres 
and 8,000, with the first five years being higher each year than the second half five years.
The amount of poor water declined dramatically between 1993 and 1994, with figures 
falling by 6,000 kilometres, then to 2,000 kilometres for the next two years. There was 
a slight increase in 1997 and 1998, followed by a gradual decrease until 2002.
Overall, the length of good quality water increased while fair and poor quality both 
decreased.
