randyspringer Posted July 30, 2020 Report Posted July 30, 2020 The Severn is currently showing 15cm on the Bewdley gage. That's 2cm lower than I've ever seen it and it's forecast to drop to 12cm tomorrow. How are other rivers holding up? Quote
welder Posted July 31, 2020 Report Posted July 31, 2020 The River Tame, North Warwickshire, is the lowest I can remember it being. Ian. Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted July 31, 2020 Report Posted July 31, 2020 I live in Suffolk, near the River Gipping, and that is low and clear. Most fish are in the streamier areas, where the oxygen is higher. I have been up to the River Wensum in Norfolk a few times recently after I spotted a couple of large barbel in an unknown area. The mills and weirs are low, just downstream of Hellesdon Mill is very shallow, not helped by the mill having flow diverted as work is being carried out. The main flow is coming from the Tud downstream of the mill. We really need some consistent rain to get the flows going again, and we need the rivers to hold their levels rather than the pressure weirs just allowing any excess to rush out. Quote
