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. At month end all river flows in Wessex were in recession. River flow map and graphs Groundwater Levels The majority of groundwater sites in Wessex are ‘normal’ or ‘above normal’ for the time of year. Two of the sites have ‘exceptionally high’ values and represent the characteristics of the aquifer. Groundwater map and graphs Reservoir Storage Reservoir levels for Wessex are almost at full capacity and have been for the duration of February. Bristol water is 99% full and Wessex Water sites are 100%. Reservoir graphs All data are provisional and may be subject to revision.

CMPs will be produced for all catchments in England and Wales by 1998. Public consultation is an important part of preparing the CMP, and allows people who live in or use the catchment to have a say in the development of NRA plans and work programmes. This Consultation Report is our initial view of the issues facing the catchment. We would welcome your ideas on the future management of this catchment: • Hdve we identified all the issues ? • Have we identified all the options for solutions ? • Have you any comments on the issues and options listed ? • Do you have any other information or ideas which you would like to bring to our attention?

  • 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.

June 2012 Introduction I am pleased to introduce our summary of the Frome and Piddle Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). This CFMP gives an overview of the flood risk in the Frome and Piddle catchment and sets out our preferred plan for sustainable flood risk management over the next 50 to 100 years. The Frome and Piddle CFMP is one of 77 CFMPs for The Frome and Piddle catchment has a history of flood England and Wales. Through the CFMPs, we have risk. Over the last 40 years engineering schemes have assessed inland flood risk across all of England and been implemented to reduce flood risk in the Wales for the first time. The CFMP considers all types of catchment. At present 1,160 properties are at risk in inland flooding, from rivers, ground water, surface the catchment in a 1% event (taking into account flood water and tidal flooding, but not flooding directly from defences).

The District Council is required by Section 71 of the Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 to formulate and publish proposals for the preservation and enhancement of Conservation Areas. This can be achieved through Conservation Area Appraisals. West Dorset has 79 Conservation Areas and the council has agreed on a programme of character appraisals. Cerne Abbas, Charminster, Sydling St Nicholas and Godmanstone Conservation Areas form part of this appraisal work, grouped together because of their geographical proximity. The four Conservation Areas were designated as follows: • Cerne Abbas, July 1971; • Charminster, December 1973, amended in February 1990; • Sydling St Nicholas, June 1973; • Godmanstone, November 1990.
