The usual question is 'how deep?' Whilst that can be difficult to answer, especially on a tidal river like the Adur, 'for how long?', insofar as 'stormwater' overflows are concerned, is much easier now thanks to the Rivers Trust (for its graphics based data presentation). The Environment Agency has also improved its public data interface, showing just what was in the river when sampled: even more detail is available from the EA, but this much info tells you a lot!
As can be seen at a recent HDC meeting (at 1h17m), the cabinet member for Planning and Development was sticking to the 'we can't control such discharges' line, although recent legal advice to Lewes District would suggest otherwise to some extent. Can some suitable words be levered into HDC's revised local plan?
