Changes over the years

How has flooding affected us here on this farm?  It is an interesting one, because we have seen changes.  We are not adjacent to the River Teme or the River Severn, our two nearest rivers.  Having said that, we do have a major brook running through the farm, which feeds the River Severn just outside Worcester, and we’ve seen quite a change over the years.
Now 10-15 years ago, the brook would have flooded first. 24 hours later, the brook would have receded; the River Teme would then flood, and then the River Severn would flood.  You had a progression.  Today, it works differently.  What often happens is that our brook is flooding at the same time as the Severn is flooding!  The Teme [is] flooding less, to a certain extent.  I am not so sure whether it is just because of climate change.
