Burst water pipe
Burst water pipe. Image 1 of 2. The pipe has burst as the water inside it froze. Water expands as it turns from water to ice, and this can cause immense damage to plumbing and other structures. When the water melts, it will flow out of the burst pipe and flood the surrounding area, as seen in E160/208

Flood Flooding Frozen Hole Meteorological Meteorology Pipe Plumbing Weather
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the aftermath of a burst water pipe, showcasing the destructive power of freezing temperatures on plumbing systems. In this image, labeled as Image 1 of 2, we witness the consequences of water expanding as it transforms into ice within the pipe. The frozen water has caused significant damage to the structure, resulting in a single hole through which water will gush out once it thaws. The potential for flooding is evident as we observe the surrounding area already submerged in water. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that even seemingly mundane technological components like pipes can succumb to meteorological forces. The icy scene depicted here highlights both the beauty and danger associated with extreme weather conditions. As viewers, we are reminded of how crucial it is to protect our infrastructure against such natural phenomena. Plumbing systems play an essential role in our daily lives, and when compromised by freezing temperatures or other factors beyond their control, they can lead to disastrous consequences. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through this striking image that combines elements of technology, meteorology, and environmental impact. It serves as a visual testament to the importance of understanding and mitigating risks posed by changing weather patterns while appreciating nature's awe-inspiring power.
