What is The Water table?

A read for rainy days

In fairy tales, there is always a Prince Charming and a bad man. Sometimes in real life, Prince Charming is the bad man, or the bad man turns out to be Prince Charming.

Please be aware, this is not a fairy tale. This book contains references to grooming gangs, sexual abuse, Gaslighting, and punishment of the abusers. Also NON-WOKE scrutiny of British society.

A dark story of gaslighting, sexual abuse, retribution, and hope. Based on the author's conversations with Willow, a young girl hidden from Society, and with Richard an ex-soldier now working for a covert agency The Organisation. This book tells how Richard confronts those in authority blocking Willow from the therapy she needs to escape from them and recover, he’s aware of the consequences. But having ignored evil too often, he’s ready for the risks.

Put simply, it is the point beneath the surface of the ground at which natural ground water is found. It is one of the factors considered by mortgage lenders and a important factor in land drainage calculations and Building regulations / Planning permission. The level of the Water table rises and falls slightly during the seasons, normally being at its highest in Spring time.

How to find information about the depth of local water tables.

Finding and getting information about local water tables.

Getting information about the local water-table isn't easy. Water boards are useless, councils worse than useless, but the Environment Agency are helpful, they have boreholes throughout the U.K. they monitor and if your garden or proposed building plot is near one of them they can supply data and because the water table does not vary widely over a small area, the data could be useful.

There isn't any water table depth data available on the Environment Agency website. If you require data for a specific area, send any request, including exactly what data you require and for where (full address) to enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk

Local Knowledge is probably your best bet, ask neighbours on all four sides, local building inspectors, local excavators and off course if you are purchasing a plot of soggy land ask your surveyor.
If it's only your garden seriously waterlogged while neighboring gardens are dry, the problem is not with the water table, but due to runoff from surface water and if a cluster of neighbouring gardens that have always been well drained suddenly become waterlogged, the problem again is unlikely to be with the water table.

There are more and more reports of neighbourhoods in which the gardens had been dry for years suddenly developing surface water drainage problems, nothing to do with rising water tables, but most probably major excavation work nearby, diverting surface water.
