So we may be having a really wet year. It's flooded
up north, it's flooded in Gloucestershire. It's
even flooded as close to us as Swindon and yet
we're still under the LTA flow on the Nadder. With
the rain/flow data still to come in for July when
it was really wet I think this chart really shows a
bleak picture. There appears to be simply too much
water being removed from the catchment, or
significant amounts of rainfall that no longer
reach the river system. Surely the aim would be to
really keep levels at around the LTA, not
consistently below it?
