Flooding possible. Be prepared.

Flood Alert

The Buckskin area is currently unaffected by high groundwater levels. Groundwater levels have responded to the recent rainfall across the area and have risen at our observation borehole Tile Barn Farm, in the Basingstoke alert area. Groundwater levels are above normal for this time of year and have now reached a level where communities may be affected within the next few days by flooding from groundwater. We expect levels to rise over the next few days in response to rainfall forecast across the area. Low-lying land and roads will therefore continue to be at risk of flooding. Due to the nature of groundwater behaviour, this situation could continue for several weeks or longer. We are continuing to monitor groundwater levels and will update this message tomorrow, 26/02/19, or as the situation changes.
