As the part of the Shroppie being talked about is a 'modern' canal the length
which from Audlem down to Nantwich (which includes Hack Green locks) is mostly
either in shallow cuttings or embanked through farmland. Most of the local land
run-off heads via various streams down to the river Weaver. That said the
Nantwich embanked bit would be a potential breach place and a breach here would
release a lot of water and do millions of pounds worth of damage.
Recent local breaches (on the Llangollen) have been caused by a field
culvert under the canal and badgers but, as BW are often seen working in the
area one hopes they might spot this sort of problem before it happens. Of
course with staff reductions...
