Water Situation Report Wessex Area Monthly water situation report Wessex Area Summary – November 2020 Wessex received ‘normal’ rainfall in November at 84% LTA (71 mm). There were multiple bands of rain throughout November; the most notable event occurred on the 14 November, when 23% of the month’s rain fell. The last week of November was generally dry. The soil moisture deficit gradually decreased throughout November, ending the month on 7 mm, which is higher than the deficit this time last year, but lower than the LTA. When compared to the start of the month, groundwater levels at the end of November had increased at the majority of reporting sites. Rising groundwater levels in the Chalk supported the groundwater dominated rivers in the south, with the majority of south Wessex reporting sites experiencing ‘above normal’ monthly mean river flows, whilst the surface water dominated rivers in the north had largely ‘normal’ monthly mean flows. Daily mean flows generally peaked around 14-16 November in response to the main rainfall event. The dry end to November caused a recession in flows, with all bar two reporting sites ending the month with ‘normal’ daily mean flows. Total reservoir storage increased, with Wessex Water and Bristol Water ending November with 84% and 83%, respectively. Rainfall Wessex received 71 mm of rainfall in November (84% LTA), which is ‘normal’ for the time of year. All hydrological areas received ‘normal’ rainfall bar the Axe (69% LTA; 61 mm) and West Somerset Streams (71% LTA; 79 mm), which had ‘below normal’ rainfall. The highest rainfall accumulations (for the time of year) were generally in the east and south. There were multiple bands of rain throughout November; the most notable rainfall event occurred in the middle of the month, with 23% of the month’s rain falling on the 14 November. The last week of November was generally dry. The 3 month cumulative rainfall is similarly ‘normal’ for the majority of hydrological catchments. In contrast, 12 month cumulative rainfall is largely ‘above normal’ or higher across Wessex, which reflects the heavy rainfall received at the end of 2019, and in February and October 2020. The cumulative rainfall since the start of the water year (October 2020) has decreased, but remains high at 142% LTA. Rainfall map and graph Soil Moisture Deficit The soil moisture deficit continued to gradually decrease throughout November in response to the rainfall received. At the end of the month, the deficit was 7 mm, which is higher than the deficit this time last year (0.1 mm), but lower than the LTA (18 mm). SMD graph and maps River Flows Monthly mean flows were ‘normal’ or ‘above normal’ at all reporting sites bar Sydling Water (Sydling St Nicholas), which flows were ‘notably high’ at 157% LTA. Groundwater dominated rivers in the south were supported by the ‘normal’ or higher groundwater levels in the Chalk, with the majority experiencing ‘above normal’ monthly mean flows, whilst the surface water dominated rivers in the north had largely ‘normal’ flows. Daily river flows fluctuated throughout the month in response to the bands of rainfall. The main rainfall event led to peak flows generally occurring around 14-16 November, with many of the responsive surface water dominated rivers in the north peaking at ‘exceptionally high’ flows, whilst the majority of the less responsive groundwater dominated rivers in the south, only reached ‘notably high’. The dry end to November led to a recession in flows, with all bar two reporting sites ending the month with ‘normal’ daily mean flows.

On the Chalk, rising groundwater led to Ashton Farm and Woodyates reaching ‘above normal’ levels for the time of year, though levels at Tilshead remained ‘normal’. At the start of the month, groundwater levels at Kingston Russell Road (also monitoring the Chalk) were ‘above normal’, and whilst there was an increase in groundwater throughout November at this reporting site, by the end of the month these levels were ‘normal’ for the time of year. Groundwater map and graphs Reservoir Storage Reservoir levels increased throughout November. At the end of the month, total storage for Wessex Water was 84% and for Bristol Water was 83%, which are both lower than this time last year.

  • Groundwater Levels the Majority of Groundwater Sites in Wessex Are ‘Normal’ Or ‘Above Normal’ for the Time of Year
    Monthly water situation report Wessex Area Summary – February 2016 February rainfall was 136% of the long term average (LTA) but was distributed mainly in the first 8 days and then around mid month with the last half of the month being dry. The last 3 months have all had above average rainfall resulting in the 3 month total being 132% LTA. Rivers responded to the rainfall then were predominantly in recession from mid month. Soils remain wet close to capacity. Most groundwater sites have had significant recharge and are all normal or above for the time of year. Reservoir storage is almost at its maximum; Bristol water is at 99% of the total reservoir storage and Wessex Water is at capacity. Rainfall The start of the month was wet, 63% of Februarys rainfall fell within the first eight days. The rest of the month was mostly dry apart from a couple of wet days around the 17th. The average rainfall total across the Wessex Area was 136% of LTA (88 mm). Rainfall map and graph Soil Moisture Deficit The soil is wet, as expected for the time of year. The average soil moisture deficit across Wessex on 1 March 2016 was 1.08 mm, well below the LTA of 2.96 mm. SMD graph and maps River Flows River flows across the Wessex area were ‘exceptionally high’ around 6 February and the 18 February in response to the precipitation received at the start and middle of the month. Many of the stations in the north and along the southern edge of Wessex are ‘above normal’ or experiencing flows above the LTA.

  • The Team Rector Writes
    The Team Rector Writes... Dear Friends, When Bishop Nicholas visited the deaneries of the Diocese during Lent 2015 to develop our conversation around the vision RENEWING HOPE – PRAY, SERVE, GROW, he challenged us with three questions: What do you pray for? Whom do we serve? How will you grow? Questions that might at a first glance seem easy to answer: I want to encourage you to take time this Advent to look at those questions and allow yourselves to be more challenged than you expect! Advent and Christmas are seasons for the renewing of hope and I wonder whether we might try sharing our stories of hope with each other, as we seek to tell the greatest story of hope? At the start of diocesan meetings we now spend time sharing our stories of hope, talking about the things that have given us hope recently. First a candle is lit as the centre of the meeting – symbol of Christ’s presence in our midst; the Bible is read and studied; then people tell one another their stories. Simple but profound and challenging too! It is easy to be busy and preoccupied by the needs and demands of the day, especially in preparation for Christmas! But how life giving and holy it is to seek out and name those moments when hope has erupted. For some Christmas is unbounded joy and excitement, for others it is painful and troubling. However, it is the moment when we reflect on the truth that God became a human being; forever to experience our joys and sorrows alongside us.
