Anglian Region praying for a wet January

The Environment Agency water situation report for December 2011 has just been published and this highlights that although December saw the first significant rainfalls in Anglian region, much more is needed to make a difference to groundwater levels and river flows.

“The majority of the rain that fell in December was absorbed into the soil, and another month of average rainfall is needed before the conditions are suitable for aquifer recharge to begin”.

Soil moisture deficits remain in the Exceptionally High category and groundwater levels are continuing to decline at 11 of the 14 monitoring sited across Central area.

If the ‘long term average’ rainfall is received in January a decline in levels is expected to continue, with the potential of a limited recharge period beginning in February.
