Groundwater Update
January has been drier than average with only 30.6mm rainfall recorded at Boscombe Down to date (26/1/22). This represents 41% of the long term average for January. The groundwater will have changed only a little so I will hold off reporting the groundwater level until next Tuesday (1st February).
Notes:
LTA: Long-term average percentage (%) : the monthly rain total as a percentage of the monthly climatological average from the Met office.
QMF: Groundwater level at Queen Manor Farm, Idmiston. This is an automated measure reported several times daily. It is measured as metres above sea-level and is only approximately correct to the graph scale. It is used as an early indicator of trends in rate of rise of groundwater.
Next report due: w/b 01-Feb-2022
Recent Groundwater reports are in our
Environment Section of the Document Library.
