## About the Application
somersetlevels.uk is a live, interactive map specifically designed for the Somerset Levels and Moors in the UK. It solves the problem of data fragmentation by taking hundreds of individual, real-time data points from the UK Environment Agency and visualising them on a single, easy-to-read map. 

## Core Features for Users
* **Unified Visualization:** Displays river level trends, rainfall, flood risk, and tides simultaneously.
* **Near Real-Time Data:** Data is fetched from the UK Environment Agency every 10-15 minutes.
* **Geographic Focus:** Hyper-local focus on the Somerset Levels and Moors, an area highly prone to wide-area flooding.
* **Use Case:** Saves users from visiting dozens of separate EA web pages to piece together the local flood or weather situation.
