Groundwater Levels So High That Flood Risk Could Last For Months

The video discusses the impact of persistent high water levels in the Mendip Hills, leading to flooding in the Somerset Levels.

Ancient rivers, known as Bourns, may also start flowing, posing additional risks. The high water table and continuous storms suggest that flooding risks could persist for months.
