Summary

[edit]
Description
English: River Parret at Oath The river has high embankments so that it can carry large volumes of water in spate with out flooding adjacent land. As can be seen the river is 4-5m above the level of the road and the ground floor of the house. The house is on the road from Oath to Stathe at the eastern end of West Sedgemoor. There is a pump house further along the road where water is pumped up from the moor into the river. When the river reaches the top of its banks, as it nearly is here, the moor is allowed to flood to protect property further downstream.
