Скачать или смотреть Somerset - Flooding - Pumps - Bridgwater - Dock - Marina - Tidal Barrage - Dunball Sluice

Saturday 07th February 2026

The video starts at Bridgwater Docks / Marina, where in the days prior, the Environment Agency have installed pumps to transfer water from the Taunton & Bridgwater Canal, into the River Parrett. The River Tone, River Parrett, and surrounding areas of the levels are already flooded, and the Canal acts as a parallel path to the Bristol Channel, downstream of Bridgwater. Please don't ask why they are pumping water, when the level in the docks is around 1.5 metres above the level of the River Parrett.......because I don't understand either?!?!

Then on to Dunball Sluice, where the EA are installing an array of submersible pumps, into King Sedgemoor Drain (Sowy River), because it can only discharge water from the flooded levels, on the lower tide.

And then a quick look at progress of the Bridgwater tidal barrage while near by.
