Causes of Flooding

 

• Rivers (Fluvial)

• Surface water(Pluvial)

• Groundwater

• Sewers

​

Barford and Wramplingham lie at the confluence of the Rivers Yare and Tiffey and so are affected by:

• conditions upstream and how they might change

• conditions within the villages and

• by the way that water is managed downstream as it flows down to Norwich and out to the North Sea.
