\"Flooding \"\"<\/p>\n

The groundwater level here is still raised<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 This is\u00a0 due to Thames flood water flowing upstream along the Wraysbury Drain to a point at which it could divert into the RK Leisure Lake.\u00a0 This water body is now over-filled by about 0.8m – the effect of which is to raise the nearby groundwater levels by a similar amount.\u00a0 This creates a persistent groundwater flooding event<\/strong><\/span> (extending to many weeks if left unresolved) because the Wraysbury Drain is blocked.\u00a0 This problem is the responsibility of the LLFA (i.e. RBWM) under the FWMA 2010.<\/p>\n

Below is a link to a short video clip recording flowing water in the ditch adjacent to the village green.<\/p>\n

MVI_6046<\/a><\/p>\n

The bottom line is that the water level in the RK Leisure Lake (i.e. former gravel pit) cannot be quickly reduced because the Wraysbury Drain has been blocked for years.<\/p>\n
