River Witham, South Delph
Heavy rain during Saturday has resulted in very high levels in the River Witham. Due to the slow responding nature of this lower part of the catchment it will take several days for the river to drop back down to safe levels. The high river levels have already caused flooding of low lying land and roads near to the river and several Flood Warnings remain in force for areas where property flooding is possible. River levels are being affected by tide lock, where the Witham is not able to flow out to sea at Boston during periods of high tides. Remain safe and be aware of your local surroundings.
