Groundwater levels have been gradually dropping at our observation borehole near Chiseldon over in the last few days, but remain higher than normal for this time of year and are at a level where communities may be affected by flooding from groundwater. The catchment remains sensitive to rainfall due to saturated ground and groundwater levels will rise again if we receive further rainfall. Low-lying land, gardens, roads and cellars 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 on 22/03/2024, or as the situation changes.
