Tilshead Borehole Levels: 8th February 2019

Apologies for being a day late - the delay was down to heavy rain, traffic on the A303 and the gas leak on the Packway. Well, its been a very interesting week as far as the waterlevel goes....

Tilshead Borehole Levels: 1st Feb 2019

We began the week with a little light rain and ended the week and January with a moderate snowfall.  None of this has had any noticeable impact at all on the rate of increase of the water level in...

Tilshead Borehole Levels: 25th January 2019

As predicted, we had a little rain over the last week; around 15 mm.  However, that appears to have had little if any effect on water levels in the Tilshead borehole.  The rate of increase has...

Tilshead Borehole Levels: 18th January 2019

Tilshead Borehole Levels: 14 December 2018

Athough we have only had 8.3 mm of rain during the week, despite a forecast that suggested much more, water levels in the borehole have risen slowly, but steadily during the course of the last seven...
