THAMES WATER Abstraction of Water from the Baunton Pumping Station.
Details – N.B. Reductions were first introduced in 2005 and abstraction ceases when flows drop below 32 Ml/d at the Baunton gauging station. A Drought Permit was sought in September 2022 after the long hot summer … but was not required. Click here for information: DROUGHT PERMIT application September 2022
