Groundwater
Groundwater levels are now falling steadily. We do not expect further flooding and the flood alert has been removed. Rivers and streams remain full due to high groundwater levels and will react rapidly to further rainfall. Groundwater levels will remain sensitive to further rainfall over the coming weeks. We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further. We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary. Septic tanks may need emptying as soakaways may not work for some time. Don't put yourself or others at risk.
Groundwater
High groundwater levels may lead to flooding. Flooding of low-lying areas and roads is possible. Groundwater levels are now falling very gradually at our Water Acre borehole in the Upper Aldbourne Valley. We expect levels to remain high over the next few weeks and levels will remain sensitive to further sustained rainfall. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. We are closely monitoring rainfall and groundwater levels.
