River levels remain high at the Ebbesbourne Wake river gauge as a result of the ground being saturated and reacting to previous rainfall over the past week. We expect flooding to affect tributaries between Alvediston and Nunton. We expect further showery rainfall over the next few days to sustain the current high river levels. High groundwater levels are being topped up by the repeated bands of rainfall and so we expect river levels to remain high for some time. Our incident response staff are in contact with community flood wardens and volunteers. Please consider installing property flood resilience equipment and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded. This message will be updated on Friday 28/02/20, or as the situation changes. We are closely monitoring the situation.

Ebble
River levels are slowly falling but remain high at the Ebbesbourne Wake river gauge as a result of the ground being saturated and reacting to previous rainfall from Storm Dennis last weekend. High groundwater levels are adding to river levels; consequently, the risk of flooding remains. Further light rainfall is forecast later on Saturday afternoon and overnight into Sunday which is likely to cause river levels on the Ebble to rise over the weekend although we are not expecting Flood Warning levels which directly affect property to be reached. We expect flooding to affect tributaries between Alvediston and Nunton. River levels can rise very quickly in response to rainfall.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Please avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and see the GOV.UK website for a 5 day flood forecast.
