Groundwater
Groundwater levels are currently falling at our Draycot borehole in the Upper Og Valley following recent rainfall. Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year but are no longer are at a level where communities may be affected by groundwater flooding. Groundwater levels remain sensitive to further rainfall due to saturated ground and high groundwater levels. Groundwater levels at this location are more sensitive to individual rainfall events and so levels may rise further in response to forecast rainfall. Low-lying land and roads will therefore continue to be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. Avoid driving or walking through floodwater as there may be concealed hazards. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message next week by 19/04/2024, or as the situation changes.

Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year and have now reached a level where communities may be affected by flooding from groundwater over the coming days.
Groundwater levels are slowly rising again following recent rainfall. Showers are expected through today (08/01/23), clearing into Monday (09/01/23). Further, higher rainfall totals are expected on Tuesday (10/01/23) with unsettled conditions persisting until the end of the week. We expect groundwater levels to rise further over the week in response to forecast rainfall. Low-lying land and roads will therefore continue to be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater behaviour, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer.
We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message by 15/01/23 , or as the situation changes.
