Passenger footwell filling with water - what's the cause?

I have water in the passenger footwell of my Honda CR-V. Do you know what may have caused it?

Blocked bulkhead vent well drains leaving rainwater nowhere to go except via the pollen filter into the cabin of the car. Probably leaves this time of year.
