FloodingThere are basically two flooding issues in Loxwood. Firstly there is the Loxwood Stream which experiences exceptionally high flows, particularly during prolonged wet winter periods, when the ground becomes saturated. There is a perception that flows have increased owing to new development, but this is not really the case. Most flow is generated by runoff from the fields around Loxwood village and all the land northwards to Alford village. Changes in agricultural practices are commonly blamed for increasing rural runoff and the clay soils in our area are particularly prone to contributing a high runoff.
