Interesting that video - the water looks about 1m below the pool - but that was when it was 4.5m at Worcester (Barbourne?) - it is currently at 5.67m and rising. So does that mean the water is now flowing through the pool? Can't be good if the carp now have the opportunity to exit the pool and head for the flooded areas. Carp are inquisitive and will escape pools where they can - although they mostly do this when the water is warmer like in the summer of 2007. Worst still they might get trapped in the deeper pools and not make it to the river - as happened in 2007.
Might be worth someone popping over there when the waters recede a bit and contact the EA if this has happened, as they will help rescue the fish - assuming the otters don't get them first!.
