Today, meteorologically speaking at least, is the first day of Spring.  I have to confess that I don't really believe we have had much of a Winter this year, it has been so warm.  It's also been...

An interesting week, with very little rain (4.3 mm).  However, rain from the previous two weeks has clearly continued to feed into the aquifer, so the water level has continued to rise, albeit at a...

A very interesting week as far as the borehole levels go.  As we've said on a number of occasions over the years, once the water level in the aquifer exceeds the 85 metre mark, the whole system...

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....

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...

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...

Well, well!  Here we are nearly 2 weeks into the New Year and not a drop of rain since late in December.  You might be forgiven for expecting borehole water levels to have fallen, but that is not...

The first post of the New Year and water levels continue to rise in the borehole, despite the almost complete lack of rain over the last week.  It just goes to show how saturated the ground was...

A very interesting week indeed.  The rain at the weekend left run-off puddles in the river bed down-stream of the Church Street bridge, but with no puddles visible upstream of this bridge.  The...
