Rivers stay on Flood Watch
1:50pm Wednesday 12th November 2008
Four rivers in Oxfordshire remained on Flood Watch today.
The alert was placed on the River Thames and tributaries, from Buscot to the Oxford area yesterday.
Also on Flood Watch are the catchment areas of the rivers Ray, Thame and Cherwell.
The Flood Watch that was put in place on the River Ock yesterday was lifted this morning, along with the Flood Watch on the Evenlode.
The Flood Watch that had been in place on the River Windrush was lifted yesterday.
A Flood Watch warning means that flooding of low-lying land and roads is expected, while a Flood Warning indicates that some properties are at risk of flooding.
The Flood Watches are expected to be lifted later in the week.
