Water still rising. This field was dry this morning. Even with a dry day - catchment water is still hitting the moors. We could do with the additional pumps at Northmoor online asap. @EnvAgencySW @dredgetherivers

It’s been a while - we’ve just been enjoying some drier winters. Don’t worry though - Our blue hoodies are dusted off and unfortunately, it looks like we’re going back to campaign mode #turnthepumpson #somersetflooding #flooding

Lovely to chat to @Sarah_Ransome yesterday, so nice that all are trying to keep pressure on to ensure all viable work streams are working in #Somerset @dredgetherivers #slowtheflow #pumping #landmanagment – at Northmoor Green or Moorland, England

How dredging works. Simples. The Rivers around the Somerset levels have been altered by man so need maintaining by man. They need the silt (brought by the tide) to be removed. Dredging or de-silting speeds river flow and increases capacity.
