Details

These reports collect information from the Environment Agency, the Met Office and water companies that measure and monitor:

• the amount of rain that falls
• how dry the soils are and how much rain they can soak up
• the amount of water flowing in rivers
• the amount of water stored below ground in aquifers and above ground in reservoirs

They also present the outlook for river flow and groundwater.
