What was also noticeable was how little water there was in the stream around the course

That might sound like an odd comment but when the going is heavy it is way fuller than that

The streams are part of the natural irrigation system.
I don't know whether less water in them means there hasn't been as much rain as suggested or whether it takes a while to filter through the ground and into the streams...

It's a good sign. It just means there has been less rain than expected. Obviously a lot of rain is forecast though

Exactly right. Depends how reactive the catchment is. May take time for river levels to rise or may be very quick.

The intuitive answer would be that as it drains very well the increase in the stream levels would be pretty quick, but that could be a load of shite

Depends what’s happening upstream. Significant rainfall upstream can cause river levels to rise without any rainfall in the rivers location.

This sounds like a GCSE geography class! How is an ox bow lake formed?

Ha ha probably one of the only times my Civil Engineering expertise will cross with my horse racing love!

I don't check this thread much - it is like a geography class - Rowebot, you've never told me what you do, now I can safely assume you're a teacher

Are we going to get dry or wet rain? Someone must know!

[Faugheen_Machine]

Two or three times an hour I'm doing a Twitter search of 'Cheltenham Rain'. What a long day......
