Somerset still in drought despite rainfall
The Environment Agency says water levels in reservoirs and groundwater levels are still very low.
At the start of November, Wimbleball Lake was about 20% full and Clatworthy Reservoir 33% full.
Wessex Water's total storage capacity was at 47% and South West Water's at 35%.
Jim Flory, from the Environment Agency, tells Claire Carter we need above average rainfall through winter and early spring to guarantee a good water supply and to support wildlife.
