Flood alert for Groundwater flooding in the High Wycombe area
Groundwater levels are high but stable at our Piddington Ray Farm borehole near the High Wycombe area. Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year and have reached a level where communities may continue to be affected by groundwater flooding. Groundwater levels remain sensitive to further rainfall due to saturated ground and high groundwater levels. Low-lying land, gardens, roads, and cellars may therefore be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater flooding, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. Avoid driving or walking through floodwater as there may be concealed hazards. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message by 19/04/2024, or as the situation changes.
