Our monthly and weekly water situation reports for England and Wales. Links to our individual regional reports.
What's in the reports?
We routinely measure, monitor and report on a range of hydrological parameters to assess the water situation across England and Wales. We do this for:
- 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
We use our own data and that provided by the Met Office and water companies to build up a comprehensive picture of the water situation across England and Wales.
