Tilshead Borehole Levels: 5th February 2023

A shade under two months to go to the end of my annual monitoring period and the good news continues.  Another week without any significant rainfall means the water levels in the Rive Till have...

Tilshead Borehole Levels: 29th January 2023

Thankfully, a week without any real rain; we did have 0.1mm of rain in the middle of the week.  Consequently, levels in the River Till have continued to fall and Water Lane/Dryden Street no longer...

Tilshead Borehole Levels: 22nd January 2023
