Velocity area station in upland Scotland. Flows affected by lochs within the
catchment. | Velocity area station; approx. 35m wide river section with
flows outflanking cableway on rb at extreme stages. | Stable gravel
control. Two peak flow rating across period of record, derived from current
meter gaugings up to 2.529m, with a measured flow of 168 cumecs. A new flood
rating was applied after the flood of 11/08/2014, following bank erosion. Floods
are largely contained, although some out of bank flow may happen on the right
bank at extreme flows. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Typical Scottish upland
impermeable bedrock headwater catchment almost entirely covered with superficial
deposits. Predominantly Moinian metamorphic with granitic and gneiss intrusions.
Significant peat cover. Mix of hill pasture and moorland with some 20 sq.km of
surface storage distributed over several medium size lochs. | Loch
Badanloch and an-Ruathair used for river regulation (through freshets, to
benefit fisheries) utilising 30% of catchment, reduced to 24% in Nov 1986
following removal of control structure on Loch an-Ruathair. Data available on
storage changes in both lochs. |

Velocity area station. Low and medium flows affected by diversion to Conon
catchment. | Velocity area station; river section about 35m wide, natural
control. | Gravel bed with problems of stability in low flow control
necessitating revised rating from time to time. Well gauged to bank-full. At
extreme levels (above about 3m) water spills out onto road on lb. Rating derived
from current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Peak flow rating
revised in 2003 and a new single rating for high flows only was judged to be
suitable for whole period of record. Peak flow rating revised in 2016. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017
(WINFAP Files v5). Chart data between 1973 & 1982 was digitised in
2016. | Approx. 80% of this remote Highland catchment is below 600m with a
few hilltop tarns but no significant storage. Minimal floodplains. Impermeable
mountainous catchment, often snowy in winter. Predominantly Moinian
metamorphics. Landuse rough pasture with some forest cover. No significant
catchment changes known. | Computed low flows are natural in relation to
about 80% of catchment; remainder of headwaters are diverted at low and medium
flows to Conon Valley hydro scheme (into Loch Vaich). |

Velocity area station in very responsive natural catchment. |
Velocity-area station; 40m wide river section. | Natural channel
control pre-1986. Construction of stone croys immediately d/s (Feb 1986)
affected low flow rating significantly; relatively unstable gravel control
remains subject to change after moderate flood events. Rating developed from
current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Peak flow rating revised in
2016 and one rating for high flows judged to be suitable for whole record. |
Nov-Dec 2010 flows considered suspect due to extended period of freezing
conditions. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April
2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | Catchment is typical Highland mix of rough
grazing and moorland with some afforestation in middle reaches. Mountainous
headwaters, often snowy in winter. Impermeable bedrock overlain by superficial
deposits. Minimal floodplains. | Natural flow regime with only small lochs
in headwaters. Very responsive. |

Velocity area station measure compensation flows and spillage from Shin Dam.
Station closed during 2011. | 30m wide river section with stable gravel
control. | Contained at all but historic stages by left bank floodbank.
Fully calibrated to bankfull. | | Catchment is mainly rough grazing
and moorland. | Station measures only compensation flows and spillage from
Shin Dam along with natural runoff from 44 sq.km. Turbine discharges bypass
station but are recorded. Natural catchment is increased by 20% through
inter-basin transfers from R. Cassley, Hope, Naver and Brora - but large net
export. |

Velocity area station; regime influenced by transfers from neighbouring
catchments and power station. | Velocity area station 80m wide river
section. | Cableway present in straight reach (which stands appreciably
above the valley bottom). Rare bypassing, via right floodbank, during extreme
flows (notch installed in floodbank, following 1989 flood, to avoid catastrophic
failure). Gauged to bankfull. | Patchy records prior to 1970. Particularly
low flows during commissioning of HEP scheme (e.g. Sept 1956). |
Impermeable bedrock with more than half overlain by superficial deposits.
Mountainous catchment with some afforestation. | Catchment enhanced by 20%
due to transfers from the Orrin, Ewe, Broom and Carron catchments for power
generation. Extensive volumes of surface storage controlled for power generation
(but no further development after 1960). Hydrograph dominated by influence of
Torr Achilty power station. |

Velocity area station in upland catchment. Flow affected by barrage
constructed on Loch Morie. | Velocity area station; 20m wide fully
contained river section with stable boulder control. | Difficulties in
current meter gauging at low flows. To date all flows contained. Adequately
gauged to QMED. Rating derived from current meter gaugings to above QMED, simple
extrapolation beyond AMAX1. Peak flow rating was revised in 2003 and a new
single rating for high flows only, was judged to be suitable for whole period of
record. Rating revised in 2016. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data between 1973
& 1982 was digitised in 2016. | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in
winter. Bedrock predominantly Devonian sandstone with areas of Moinian
metamorphics in the upper reaches of the catchment. Landuse mainly rough grazing
and moorland with forestry. Minimal floodplains. Construction of barrage on Loch
Morie in 1979. | Sluices on Loch Morie, through which 45% of catchment
drains, were constructed in 1979 for river regulation (to benefit fisheries).
This influences mainly low flows through freshets. |

Velocity area station in a typical Scottish upland catchment. Significant
storage in Loch Beannacharain. | Velocity area station; 25m wide river
section. | Unstable gravel and boulder control. Levels may drop below
tapping pipe in extreme droughts. Extreme floods above about 2m cause right hand
bank to erode and to deposit on control - eventually being washed away.
Bypassing can occur on left bank behind the station hut at floods above about
2.2m (known only once during record in Feb 1989). Adequately gauged to bankfull.
Two peak flow ratings accross period of record derived from current meter
gaugings up to 94 cumecs with simple extrapolation beyond. Transition used in
early 1989 when two huge floods caused major channel change warranting a new
flood rating, QHigh1989, but the exact start date and time is impossible to
pinpoint. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Typical Scottish upland catchment.
Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter, with rough pasture and moorland,
and some woodlands. Impermeable bedrock, predominantly metamorphic with
intrusions of gneiss and mica schist, overlain by superficial deposits. No
significant catchment changes known. | Natural regime. No artificial
influences thereby providing a useful indication of natural runoff. Significant
surface storage in Loch Beannacharain through which 70% of catchment
drains. |

A few recent small run of river hydro schemes. | Gravel control. Cableway
capacity considerably exceeds bankfull. All flows to date contained. Peak flow
ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to 92 cumecs (about 1.1 QMED),
simple extrapolation beyond. Single rating for peak flows across whole period of
record (since review in 2003). Stable bed and riverbanks with very little
evidance of errosion, scour, deposition or material change. Highflows are
relatively low energy and ensure a stable physical dimensions for the hydraulic
section. | Accurate record with no gaps. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Very
wet, rugged, Highland catchment. Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter.
Predominantly Moinian metamorphic with mica schist and gneiss intrusions.
Approximately a third covered with superficial deposits. Largely moorland and
rough grazing. Minimal tree cover. Achnasheen is the only significant
settlement. No significant catchment changes known. | No impoundment and
low antecendent conditions mean rapid changes from high flow spate conditions to
minimal baseflow conditions over short periods of time. |

Velocity area station in lowland catchment in north west Scotland. |
Velocity area station. Concrete covered water pipe crossing river acts as
control. | All flows contained. Not a primary gauging station - stage
continuously monitored but stage discharge relations are limited range: no
cableway, gauged by wading. | | Lowland catchment underlain by
Lower and Middle Old Red Sandstone. Predominantly arable and pasture with some
forestry and rough pasture in upper catchment. | |

Flat V weir with secondary weir downstream in a largely natural
catchment. | Flat V Crump weir. A secondary weir was constructed approx 15
m downstream of the main weir in June 2013, in order to maintain levels on main
weir apron and allow easier fish passage. Previously a limited range secondary
velocity area station (for pollution investigation); 2m wide controlled by Armco
culvert, gauged by wading. | Cableway present for high flow calibration.
Floodbanks contain >MAF. Significant shrub/tree colonisation of channel
banks. | | Upper catchment forested, underlain by impermeable
Prec-Cambrain rocks. Lower catchment mainly arable and pasture underlain by
Lower and Middle Old Red Sandstone with Quaternary coastal and river alluvium in
valley floor. Strathpeffer (Spa) is a short distance u/s. | Natural
catchment apart from diversion of sewage effluent (outside the catchment) when
flows fall below a trigger threshold; runoff is appreciably reduced. |

HEP generation affects flow pattern: net import of water (from Loch
Mullardoch) but substantial bypassing direct to power station, station monitors
only a proportion of the runoff. Low flows dominated by compensation releases
from Loch Benevean. |

Velocity area station closed in 1945. | Velocity area station. Station
closed in 1945. | The control is a broad, flat, gravel and boulder bar
with a tree covered island and a steep gradient d/s. All flows contained on the
left bank - the right bank is lower with a floodplain at about 3m. Peak flow
rating derived from current meter gaugings (but no gaugings available). |
Because of increasing breakdowns of the recorder, records became unreliable
from 1944 onwards. | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter.
Pre-Cambrian grits and schists. Mainly rough pasture and moorland, some forest
cover. No significant catchment changes known. Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.985 and
should be used with these records because the station closed before the
reservoirs in the catchment began impounding. Post-reservoir FARL is 0.813. |
Natural regime (reservoirs in the hydroelectric scheme began impounding in
1957, after the station was closed). Loch Loyne and Loch Cluaine were natural
pre-1957. |

Velocity area station; flow regime affected by Loch Ness and other storage
within the catchment. | Velocity area station 80m wide. | Fully
calibrated to maximum recorded flow. Frequent recalibration of low flow rating
due to alteration of stop-log configuration on weir which forms control. |
1975, 1976, 1977 notably dry summers. | Large SW/NE trending Highland
catchment. Predominantly impermeable bedrock, less than half with superficial
deposits. Mountainous with significant afforestation and grasslands. |
Hydrograph damped by influence of Loch Ness. Caledonian Canal lockages
bypass station but, overall, small net impact. HEP schemes on Garry, Moriston
and Foyers tributaries utilise runoff from 56% of catchment, can cause abrupt
changes in flow e.g. July 2000. |

Velocity area station in upland catchment. Catchment drains through Loch
Meiklie. | Velocity area station; 15m wide river section. | Natural
boulder control. Flows recede to unexpectedly low levels, possibly due to
sub-surface flows below station. Prior to 1991 when flood embankments were
built, bypassing occurred on right bank at extreme flows above about 2.3m.
Rating derived from current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Peak
flow rating was revised in 2003 a new single rating for peak flows only was
judged to be suitable for whole period of record. Rating revised in 2016. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017
(WINFAP Files v5). | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter.
Typical upland catchment. Impermeable Moinian metamorphics overlain with
superficial deposits. Rough grazing and moorland with approx a quarter forested,
especially around Loch Meiklie. No significant catchment changes known. |
Flows 100% natural but whole catchment drains through Loch Meiklie (1
sq.km). |

Velocity area station in a responsive catchment with minimal storage.
Catchment nested within 7002. | Velocity area station; ; 50m wide river
section. Prior to January 1978, station located 700m u/s and cableway 500m d/s
of present site; spot gauging info for this site not available - hence less
confidence in this period. Catchment nested within that of 7002. | Boulder
control. Ice formation is a common problem causing uncertainty in measuring
flows. Liable to extremely rapid rises in level but adequately gauged to
bankfull. Peak flow record revised in 2016, one rating adopted for the whole
record derived from current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. No
gaugings available pre-1978. Pre-1978 rating previously held has been corrected
causing an increase of 12% in QMED. | Erroneously elevated flows e.g. Dec
1978 - Jan 1979, Dec 1981 - Jan 1982, Jan 2001, Dec 2009 - Jan 2010 and Dec 2010
due to ice formation. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data between 1961 & 1982 was
digitised in 2016. | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter.
Predominantly metamorphic with granitic intrusions. Extensive blanket peat over
long, narrow, steep-sided catchment. Rough pasture and moorland, minimal tree
cover. No significant catchment changes known. | Very responsive catchment
with a natural regime. Minimal surface storage (but significant winter snow
cover). |

Velocity area station draining Monadhliath mountains to the North Sea coast.
Construction of a flood alleviation scheme and major events (August 2014) has
changed the bed and bank profiles significantly, station will require complete
re-calibration. | Velocity area station; 50m wide river section. |
Station located in mobile gravel reach which necessitates frequent
recalibration of low flow rating. Occasional ice build-up in winter months.
Flows contained under cableway up to 3.8m. Adequately gauged to bankfull.
Bypassing of station only known in 1970s by floods above about 4m; since then
flood banks have been raised. High flow gauging on the Findhorn is difficult and
substantial extrapolation of the rating was needed to compute the exceptional
August 1970 peak, but this was substantially exceeded during the "Muckle spate"
of 1829. Four peak flow ratings across period of record, derived from current
meter gaugings. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data between 1959 & 1982 was
digitised in 2016. | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter.
Catchment drains the Monadhliath Mountains; predominantly metamorphic bedrock
with granitic intrusions with extensive blanket peat cover. Little tree cover.
Pasture and arable on coastal floodplains. No significant catchment
changes. | Very responsive natural regime. Minimal surface storage. |

Velocity area station affected by bypassing. Low flows affected by
abstraction for PWS. | Velocity area station; about 23m wide section.
Flood warning station. Levels recorded from 20/06/58, Gaugings from 01/10/63.
Station was moved upstream by 150m from 08/09/78. Old site had no bypassing
problems (peak flow record is good) and had a stable rating. | The main
control is a long and insensitive stone weir 350m d/s. Station experiences
significant bypassing (4 times in 10 years) at flows above 2.3m via a depression
on the right bank (e.g. July 1997 flow based on rating is 92 cumecs, but
additional bypassing estimated to be about 30 cumecs). Cableway rated. Ratings
derived from current meter and ADCP gaugings up to 64 cumecs (about 1.3QMED).
Flows above this based on modelled floodplain flow. The two peak flow ratings
are for pre- and post-1978 when the station was moved upstream. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | Upland headwaters. Bedrock Schists, gneisses with some ORS.
Extensive superficial deposits. Some moorland and tree cover in headwaters,
arable in valley bottoms. Notable floodplain u/s. No significant catchment
changes known. | Flows affected by abstraction for PWS - Glenlatterach
Reservoir provides supply for Elgin. Abstraction has moderate impact on low
flows (approx. 20% of the Q95 flow). |

Velocity area station draining catchment with mountainous headwaters. Flows
affected by abstraction for Inverness PWS. | Velocity area station, 20m
wide. | Rock protection to a d/s pipeline provides a stable low flow
control. High flow control is bridge abutments. Overbank flows could occur at
extreme levels but to date all flows contained. Adequately gauged to bankfull.
Ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to 2.1m (about 1.3QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. Peak flow rating was revised in 2003 and a new single
rating for peak flows only was judged to be suitable for whole period of record.
Rating revised in 2016. | Daily level observations from April 1974 to
January 1976. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in
winter. Predominantly Old Red Sandstone largely by superficial deposits. The
catchment is hill pastures and peat moorland except for the lower 20% of
catchment which is cultivated. Significant forest cover. No significant
catchment changes known. | 7% of the upper catchment drains through Loch
Duntelchaig, water is abstracted for Inverness PWS. No other significant surface
storage. Flows can be affected by freezing temperatures upstream causing feeder
streams to freeze overnight. |

Velocity area station providing flood warning for Forres. | Velocity
area station used as flood warning station for the town of Forres (3 km d/s);
Mosset Burn lies between Findhorn and Lossie and enters the sea at Findhorn Bay.
Station added to peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
The section has a flat weir in good condition and vertical concrete banks
and is gauged and rated as a velocity area station, and no weir equation exists.
The weir is insensitive and so not conducive to accurate low flow estimation.
High flows are gauged from the bridge where station is located. High flow
estimation has been improved following the installation of a fixed acoustic
instrument (Sontek IQ+) between 2019 and 2021, which measured flood events in
this period and informed the revision of the rating. The revised rating (13.1)
has been applied through the period of record. | | Small, compact,
low-lying catchment. Mostly impermeable bedrock, with complete cover of
superficial deposits (half permeable). Sparsely populated. Land use is primarily
forest a little open moorland. | Abstractions for spray irrigation can
influence flows. |

Velocity area station in largely mountainous catchment. HEP production and
loch storage in catchment. | Velocity area station about 45 m wide.
Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Natural control. Bank collapse in 1995 blocked off both inlet pipes. Peak
flow rating derived from current meter gaugings up to 2.4m (about 1.1QMED),
simple extrapolation beyond. Rating not developed since 1974. Assumed suitable
for application to present. | Daily flows not archived since 1974. |
Catchment is largely mountainous (includes all north-facing slopes of
Cairngorms). Geology of granites and Moinian metamorphics. Dalradian with a
little Old Red Sandstone. Diverse land use of moorland, hill grazing, some
arable land in lower valley, forest cover. No significant catchment changes
known. | 15% of catchment controlled for HEP production - but limited net
export of water (relative to annual runoff). Reservoirs for hydropower: Spey Dam
(1944), Loch an T-Seilich (1941) and Cuaich (1961). Storage at Loch Insh and
Insh marshes - at high flows floodplain becomes part of loch. |

Velocity area station with headwaters in the Cairngorms. Part of the
catchment controlled for HEP. | Velocity area station about 50m wide.
Station is 5km d/s of confluence with the River Feshie. | Natural control.
Cableway rated to bankfull. Well inlet pipes fractured in early 1980s (giving
some data problems), re-laid March 1987. Mobile control which moved
significantly upstream after the 1990 spate, resulting in a different peak flow
rating. Peak flow ratings from current meter gaugings with simple extrapolation
beyond. Bypassing of station over flood plain when stage exceeds 2.1m. Rating
revised in 2016. | Flow of 232 cumecs gauged in both 1962 and 2006. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP
Files v5). | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter. Bedrock
predominantly Moinian metamorphic and granites; impermeable with approx. two
thirds covered by superficial deposits. High mountain and moorland, some
forestry and valley grazing. Notable floodplains. Cuaich hydropower reservoir
was constructed in 1961 which controls <5% of catchment. | 380 sq km
developed for hydro-power with diversions and storage; substantial net export.

Velocity area station with headwaters draining the northern Cairngorm
peaks. | Velocity area station with cableway. Station control washed away
during August 2014 spate, as a result station relocated 20m upstream on
21/05/2016. | Natural control. Some bypassing above around 3m. High water
velocities (steep catchment) during highest flows accompanied by large bed load
movements. Rating liable to change after major floods. Station reconstruction in
1985 resulted in improved hydrometric performance. There are four distinct
ratings in place for flood estimation through the period of record. Rating
QHigh1952 is applied up to 17/08/1970 when a large flood caused sufficient
channel change. Rating QHigh1970 is used up until the large flood of 11/08/2014,
which again radically altered the channel and control. These flood segments are
tagged onto a large number of low flow segments in the SEPA record that capture
the dynamic nature of the river and the frequent changing of the section control
that governs low flow estimation. The 2014 flood is calculated using a
transition feature, where the derived figure sits between the new and old
rating. Rating 40.1 was introduced after 11/08/14 to capture the new channel
state. This rating is fairly limited, being based on only a few gaugings, with
the highest being at 1.013m (measured at 108.8 cumecs). Hence there is lower
confidence in the flood estimates between 11/08/14 and 21/05/16. The station was
rebuilt 20m upstream in 21/05/16 and the rating for the period after 21/05/16 is
well calibrated, benefiting from a flood gauging on 18/11/22 at 3.00m, with a
measured flow of 330 cumecs. Hence the confidence in the flood estimation is
restored after 21/05/2016. | Lowest levels during the period 1981-84
estimated from available gauge readings, as levels fell below inlet pipe. Low
February 1955 flow thought to be due to a frozen catchment. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5) and
August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). Chart data between 1952 & 1986 was digitised
in 2016. | Mountainous headwaters draining northern side of highest
Cairngorm peaks, often snowy in winter. Geology of gneisses and metamorphosed
limestones with some igneous, and some sandstone. Land use of forest cover with
moorland, rough grazing and a little pastoral. Minimal floodplain. Plantation
forestry has developed in the lower portions of the catchment. | |

Velocity area station with some of the catchment controlled for HEP. |
Velocity area station. Station re-located d/s of road bridge. |
Cableway rated. Natural control and relatively frequent rating changes.
Nearly all flows contained; some bypassing can occur, but it is considered
insignificant. Two peak flow ratings revised in 2016, derived from current meter
gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond, have been applied to the whole
record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data between 01/10/1951 to 17/01/1988 was
digitised in 2016. | Upland catchment with mountainous headwaters often
snowy in winter. Bedrock granites and Moinian metamorphics overlain by
superficial deposits over more than half of the catchment. Land use of forest
cover moorland and pastoral and some arable farming. Cuaich Dam impounded during
period of record (1961). | Loch Insh and Insh marshes may influence flood
behaviour. 380 sq km developed for hydro-power with diversions and storage;
substantial net export. Reservoirs for hydropower: Spey Dam (1944), Loch an
T-Seilich (1941) and Cuaich Dam (1961). Forests are partly native woodland,
partly plantations. |

Velocity area station, the most downstream station on the Spey. |
Velocity area station 65m wide. Cableway rated. Lowest station currently
operating on the Spey. | Natural control. Floods above 2.5m bypass station
on lb through arches of railway bridge, but this only represents a small
percentage of the overall flow. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter
gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Rating has been derived using only
post-2009 gaugings and was revised in 2016. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data
between 1953 & 1986 was digitised in 2016. | Mountainous catchment
(includes all north slopes of Cairngorms), often snowy in winter. Bedrock is
predominantly Moinian metamorphics with granite intrusions. Dalradian with a
little Old Red Sandstone. Landuse is moorland, hill grazing, forest cover, with
limited arable land downstream. Cuaich Dam impounded during period of record
(1961). | Storage at Loch Insh and Insh marshes - at high flows floodplain
becomes part of loch. 380 sq km developed for hydro-power with diversions and
storage; limited net impact on annual runoff (small loss). Reservoirs used for
hydropower: Spey Dam (1944), Loch an T-Seilich (1941) and Cuaich (1961). Water
use also for aluminium industry. |

Velocity area station. The highest station on the Spey. | Velocity
area station, 45m wide Cableway rated. Highest station on the Spey. Station
re-built in May 2000. | Natural control; frequent rating changes.
Bypassing at flows above 1.8m on both banks. Rating derived from current meter
gaugings up to 2.589m/195.2 cumecs measured. The record between 1995 and 2000 is
either of poor quality due to broken inlet pipes or is missing. A station
rebuild was completed on 09/05/2000 resulting in improved data quality
thereafter. One peak flow rating across period of record. |
Unrepresentative period from 01/01/1995 to 28/10/1998 as inlet pipes broken
resulted in a deteriorating data quality, then missing period caused by further
deterioration of data quality (28/10/1998 and 24/02/2000) and station rebuild
(24/02/2000 to 09/05/2000). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5) and then revised again in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter.
Granite and Moinian metamorphic. Mainly moorland, limited pastoral in valley
bottoms. Cuaich Dam impounded during period of record (1961). | 200.4
sq.km controlled for HEP by British Aluminium, 86.4 sq.km controlled by Scottish

Velocity area station on a tributary of the Spey. Large proportion of
catchment controlled for HEP. | Velocity area station, about 15m wide.
Cableway rated. Station closed in 2010. No significant catchment changes. |
Problems with rock/boulder control due to spates. Control has been re-built
twice in 1990s. Normal shifting of gravels may slight influence ratings. The
river bed was subject to major erosion and scour during floods of September and
November 2009. New peak flow rating in 1996, applied from 1953 to the spate of
April 1990 (from current meter gaugings up to 1.2m (QMED), simple extrapolation
beyond). Post-1990 rating based on few gaugings (up to 0.5QMED) and will need
revision. | Data post-2009 floods is not held on the NRFA. |
Mountainous (part of Cairngorms), often snowy in winter. Mountains,
moorland, almost no tree cover. | Very turbulent flow. Large proportion
(>70%) of the catchment developed for hydro-power with major diversions out
of catchment. Reservoir for hydropower: Loch an T-Seilich (1941). |

Velocity area station about 60m wide. | Cableway rated with natural
control. Improved data quality following move of recorder and cableway to a
united site in 1987. All flows contained to date. Three ratings used which were
revised by SEPA in 2016. Current meter gaugings between 1952-1955 were
ignored. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | Upland catchment, often snowy in winter.
Granites and Moinian metamorphic bedrock with significant superficial deposits.
Landuse is moorland, forestry, pastoral with arable in valley bottoms. Notable
floodplains. | Loch Insh and Insh Marshes: at high flows floodplain
becomes part of loch, significant storage controlling about 50% of catchment.
22% of catchment developed for hydro-power with diversions and storage,
significant net export, water use also for aluminium industry. Reservoirs for
hydropower: Spey Dam (1944), Loch an T-Seilich (1941) and Cuaich (1961). Low
flow network set up in the 1990s. At Q95 compensation flows increased from Spey
Dam. Interactions between Scottish Water, Spey Salmon Fisheries and Aluminium

Velocity area station in an upland catchment with a natural regime and no
significant abstractions. | Velocity area station about 13m wide. |
Legacy notes in NRFA describe a boulder/rubble control (remnant of an old
weir), good low flow calibration, Build up of debris can occur on weir control.
The remnants of this weir have long since eroded out so the control is
effectively a natural cobble and boulder riffle. Some bypassing on left bank
occurs at extreme flows, originating from further upstream. Tapping pipe
shortened in 1986 to avoid velocity drawdown. Before 25/09/87 levels recorded in
well were often less than readings on gauge. Two peak flow ratings across period
of record, with the most recent rating derived from gaugings up to 1.945m, 63.8
cumecs, simple extrapolation beyond. Before 25/09/1987 an adjustment had to be
made on gauged stages - rating derived from the adjusted gaugings. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Upland catchment. Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in
winter. Moorland with some afforestation developed on complex basement geology -
metamorphics and igneous rocks, overlain by significant superficial cover. No
significant catchment changes known. | Natural regime, no significant
abstractions (minor distillery abstractions in the past). |

Compound broad-crested weir gauging an upland catchment with a natural
regime. | The station has been in operation since 1948 and SEPA digital
records begin at 29/01/1990. The pre-1990 record exists as paper charts from a
clockwork recorder. Station added to peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | The station control is a compound broad-crested weir with a
low flow notch. Water flows from the low flow notch and over the main crest at
around 0.330m. Flows are derived from gaugings and a rating. The stability of
the weir allows one rating to be applied through the digital record from 1990
and this rating potentially can be applied back to the construction of the weir.
Digitising of SEPA records is required to determine if current weir has been in
place since the start of operations in 1948. The confidence of flood estimation
from this station was greatly improved by a gauging at 1.9m on 18/11/2022, with
a measured flow of 59 cumecs,. An improved rating was applied through the
digital archive and hence allowed the station to be included in the peak flow
dataset from 2023. Although bankfull is around 1.5m, where the river spills onto
the floodplain on the far bank and bypasses the weir, the location and technique
of the flood gauging on 18/11/2022 meant that no flow was missed. The gauging
location was upstream from the station, just downstream from the road bridge
before the river spilled over the bank. | Pre 1958 record is of
inconsistent quality with frequent gaps - faulty recorder operation. Occasional
very low flows e.g. Jan 1978, March 1979 and Feb 2021, occur as a result of
ice. | Upland catchment with rugged topography. Mostly moorland developed
on complex basement geology - principally metamorphics. Some grassland and
forestry. | Natural regime. |

Velocity area station gauging a coastal catchment in North Scotland. Some
influence of abstraction. | Representative site for Banff coastal streams.
8m wide section above old mill weir. Station added to peak flows dataset in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | The main control was an old mill weir,
which has been significantly eroded after floods in 2009 and 2014. Two peak flow
ratings are in place for before and after the 2014 flood. A cableway was
installed during the station rebuild in 2014 and this allowed flood gauging at
the station. The highest gauging was captured on 17/06/2016 at 1.568m, with a
measured flow of 39.1 cumecs. There is some out of bank flow after around 1.4m.
The weir was eroded during a flood in 2009 as the associated rating shift is
currently applied from the flood of 04/09/2009. Although there was a larger
flood on 02/11/2009. a single gauging in the intervening period on 08/10/2009
provides evidence that the erosion can indeed be attributed to the September
flood. The station was moved to the right bank in 2014, with a logger installed
in the new station on 16/04/2014. This was operated in tandem with the old
station for three months. Not long after the new station was operational, it was
established that the new ramp was set to a different datum in error. The stage
and gauging record before 06/08/2014 08:30 were shifted up by 0.068m to tie in
with the new gauge zero and avoid a datum shift. Note this is not standard
practice for datum shifts. A DGPS survey of the new ramp gauge in 2017 found the
gauge zero to be 7.368m AOD, which is 0.495m higher than the zero datum of the
old staff gauge at 6.873m AOD. The difference between the old and new datums is
greater than the 0.068m adjustment that was applied to the data pre 06/08/2014.
This creates some uncertainty on the whether the correct adjustment was used to
cancel out the datum shift in 2014. It is possible the 0.068m shift was deduced
by comparing plots from the period when the two stations were run in tandem and
not by survey. The accuracy of the survey for the original gauge zero is also
unknown at present. The uncertainty is compounded as a very large flood on
11/08/14 destroyed the old staff gauge and caused significant damage to the weir
control, significantly lowering the base level of the control. The timing of
this flood coinciding with the station rebuild confuses the cause of the 2014
shift (datum and/or control) and removes the ability to survey and clarify the
zero figure of the old staff gauge. Work is ongoing to better understand these
uncertainties. | Data complete from 05/02/2010. Some gaps in the stage
record pre-2010 were infilled by regression from Scotsmill gauging station. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | Area of gentle topography with complex geology of
metamorphics, altered l'st and granite. Land use mostly arable and pasture with
some forestry. | Some spray irrigation abstraction for frost protection in
Apr-May. |

Velocity area station closed in 1982 and replaced by 10003 (Ellon). |
Velocity area station, about 17m wide. Station closed in Dec 1982 and
replaced by 10003 (Ellon), 2.5km d/s. Station demolished in 1985. | Gravel
bar is low flow control, road bridge is partial high flow control. Affected by
weed growth which produced a variable rating in summer. Channel was cleaned
periodically and flood banks have been built. Rating derived from current meter
gaugings up to 2.3m (1.3 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. A single peak flow
rating is used for the entire period of record (from Dundee POT). | Chart
records from 1939 although no flows processed until 1965. | Gently
undulating, relatively low-lying, developed on impermeable metamorphic Lower
Dalradian formations overlain with Boulder Clay and morainic drift. Intrusion of
Old Red Sandstone in north west. Largely agricultural with some forest cover. No
significant catchment changes known. | Agricultural drainage/abstraction

Velocity area station with natural regime in north east Scotland. |
Velocity area station; section about 30m wide. | A downstream weir is
the main control feature. This was rebuilt in September 1996. Previously the
weir was broken, unstable and insensitive. The control was badly affected be
severe weed growth that is reflected in the high number of rating changes
required for low to medium flows. The impact of weed growth on the flow
calibration has been reduced since the weir was rebuilt. There are two distinct
flood segments for before and after the weir rebuild, QHigh1971 and QHigh1996,
which have been applied to all the ratings through the record (multiple lower
limbs are not shown for plot clarity). Hence, two peak flow ratings across
period of record. A cableway allows flood gaugings and rating QHigh1971 is
calibrated using gaugings up to 1.988m, with a measured flow of 103.1 cumecs.
QHigh1996 is calibrated using gauging up to 2.125m , with a measured flow of
103.9 cumecs. Flows beyond the highest gauging are based on simple
extrapolation. Some bypassing occurs at highest flows, but the flood plain flow
aspect is deemed insignificant. Charts were digitised from 29/01/1971 to extend
the 15minute digital record back from 17/11/1988 to 29/01/1971. Quality control
has been applied to the peaks to allow a revision of peak flows in this period.
A further exercise is required to QC the full stage range and to review the
rating in the low to mid flow range before revising the daily flow figure pre
17/11/1988. For WY1991, the AMAX figure was imported in the agent to override
WISKI that otherwise selects the rising limb on 30/09/1992 09:00 and which peaks
in WY1992. The first four months of WY1970 predate the start of the station
operation. A comparison was carried out with data from other stations to assess
if the available data contains the AMAX for WY1970. However, there was nothing
conclusive from this assessment so the AMAX record starts from WY1971. The
previous POT threshold of 18.334 cumecs was generating a much larger number of
events than the required 5 on average per water year. Hence the threshold was
increased to 22 cumecs in 2023 (v13). | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Granites
and older basic intrusives surrounded by Dalradian metamorphics. Almost full
superficial deposits cover. A little moorland, but mostly lowland in character
with arable agriculture and relatively high population density; some forestry.
Notable floodplains. No significant catchment changes known. | Natural
regime. Though very minor export from headwater reservoir. |

Velocity area station in largely agricultural catchment. Replacement for
station 10001 - Ythan at Ardlethen. | Velocity area station with natural
control; about 18m wide. Replacement for 10001 (2.5km u/s, 1965-1983, chart
records back to 1939). | Multiple peak flow rating across period of record
however higher flood estimates are based on two ratings, QHigh1983 and
QHigh1994, applied as upper segments to regular low to medium flow ratings.
QHigh1983 is based on gaugings up to 2.980m (measured flow of 90.7 cumecs) and
then simple extrapolation. QHigh1994 is based on gaugings up to 2.954m (measured
flow of 85.4 cumecs) and then further informed by hydraulic modelling, providing
some confidence in the flow estimate of higher events. The cause of the shift of
the flood control between QHigh1983 an QHigh1994 is currently not understood and
based on gauging evidence alone. Small amounts of bypassing occur on left bank
during extreme flows. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Gently undulating,
relatively low lying catchment. Impermeable metamorphic Lower Dalradian
formations overlain with Boulder Clay and morainic drift. Intrusion of ORS in
the NW. Largely agricultural with some forest cover. No significant catchment
changes known. | Likely influence of agricultural drainage/abstraction on
low flows. Superficial deposits dampen the responsiveness of the catchment. |

Velocity area station, catchment drains the eastern Cairngorms. |
Velocity area station; about 40m wide. | Cableway rated, natural
control. Levels can be affected by ice and weed. Minor bypassing only at the
highest flood flows >5.0m (2002 and 2016). Peak flow rating revised in 2020
and derived from gaugings up to 4.8m and flood plain modelling up to 6.0m.
However, there is lower confidence in flow estimates pre 01/01/1984 as there is
a ten year period with no gaugings. Two peak flow ratings across period of
record. | All pre-1984 flows are flagged as estimated in the SEPA database
and post-1984 flows for events above 5m stage should be treated with caution.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021
(WINFAP Files v10) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Mountainous
headwaters, often snowy in winter. Mainly Dalradian metamorphics with large

Velocity area station providing the longest record of flow on the Dee.
Series encompasses early data from Cairnton. | Velocity area station;
about 60m wide section. Flow records for Woodend are an amalgamation from two
different stations. Present station (built in 1972) replaced earlier station
(Cairnton, located approx. 1 mile d/s from Woodend at an abstraction point -
some daily staff readings from 1911, continuous flow records from 1929, chart
records from 1934) on same reach. C/m measurements at Woodend initiated by Capt.
McClean. Cairnton continued operating until the end of 1984. | Cableway
rated, fairly stable natural control. Winter low flows can also be elevated by
ice. From 1929, rating for Cairnton derived by correlation with current meter
measurements at Woodend. From 1934 Woodend used for calculating flows at
Cairnton, both stations fitted with chart recorders. From 1972, rating at
Woodend derived from current meter gaugings up to 3.0m (about QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. | Major floods in 1937 and 1951. Occasional isolated
low flow in winter months e.g. Jan 1960, thought to be due to frozen catchment.
Winter low flows can also be elevated by ice, in some cases flows have been
reprocessed to correct for this, e.g. Dec 2009. | Mountainous headwaters,
often snowy in winter. Dalradian and Moinian metamorphics along most of valley,
flanked by igneous intrusives. Responsiveness slightly dampened by superficial
deposits. Mountain, moorland; forestry, with pastoral and some arable in valley
bottom. No significant catchment changes known. | Natural regime. No
regulation, little natural storage (but significant snow in headwaters), minor
abstractions. |

Velocity area station draining the south west Cairngorms and flowing into
the Dee just downstream of 12003. | Velocity area station, about 20m
wide. | Cableway rated, natural control. Problems with silting in well
(until 1980) and ice in cold winters (flows may be estimated). Rating derived
from current meter gaugings up to 1.7m (measured at 72 cumecs) with simple
extrapolation beyond. One peak flow rating applied to entire record. There is a
side channel just downstream of gauging station that can periodically be blocked
by members of the public to deepen the pool and then it inevitably gets knocked
down by the fisheries board. This can necessitate rating adjustments at the
lower end. The station is on the River Muick just before it joins the River Dee
at Ballater. There is potential backing up from either a downstream bridge or
from the River Dee itself during extreme events. The current high flow rating
does not account for this. With future investigation, there may be potential to
further refine flood estimates. | Flows in 1976 invalid due to blocked
pipe. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Upland catchment with mountainous headwaters,
often snowy in winter. Bedrock Dalradian intrusive basics with more than half
overlain by superficial deposits. Landuse pastoral and mountain moorland; some
forestry and lochs. Forestry operations developed in the catchment. | Flow
regime influenced by upstream Lochs. Natural with no abstrations up until around
March 2020 when a hydro scheme was installed upstream of the station. However,
all water is returned upstream of the station and no water is diverted from the
catchment. |

Velocity area station gauging catchment with natural regime, although flows
can be affected by frozen catchment. | Velocity area station with
cableway; about 15m wide section. | Natural control includes rubble from
early gabion construction (broken up by spate of Nov 1978). Frozen catchment can
produce notable low flows (e.g. 22/01/1985). Two peak flow ratings applied to

up to 1.3m (0.6QMED); peak flow rating 2 gaugings up to 1.4m (about 0.8 QMED);
simple extrapolation beyond. | | Upland catchment with mountainous
headwaters often snowy in winter. Some Dalradian metamorphics, mainly granite
intrusive. Half of catchment overlain by superficial deposits. Landuse pastoral
and mountain moorland; some forestry. No significant catchment changes known.

Velocity area station, the highest on the Dee. | Velocity area
station, about 45m wide. Highest gauging station on the Dee. | Cableway
rated, unstable natural control. Prolonged cold spells cause a considerable drop
in flow and on rare occasions ice formation on the control requires estimation
of flow. River well contained, no bypassing. Rating derived from current meter
gaugings up to 2.3m (about QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. No out of bank
surveys have been undertaken at this site by either SEPA or any external
contractors. However, recent work by consultants following flooding from Storm
Frank (Dec 2015) has suggested modelling should be undertaken to account of out
of bank flow at this site as some water bypassed the station flowing through
trees on the left-hand bank on the Mar Lodge estate. This may have an impact on
subsequent high flow rating reviews but as of 30/10/17 this information is not
available. One peak flow rating applied up to 14/08/14, where the channel
profile changed significantly during the remnants of hurricane Bertha. The
rating is being re-calibrated and no peak flow estimates are currently available
post 14/08/14. | December 1989 flows estimated due to ice formation. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7). | Upland catchment with mountainous headwaters, often snowy in
winter. Dalradian and Moinian metamorphic and granite mountains. Nearly half
overlain by superficial deposits. Mountainous with moorland and some forestry.
No significant catchment changes known. Catchment rainfall may be significantly
underestimated. | Natural regime. |

Velocity area station in rugged mountainous catchment. Low flows affected by
abstraction for PWS. | Velocity area station, about 20m wide. |
Station has cableway and natural control. Flows may be influenced by a
fishing jetty a short distance d/s from gauging station. Rating derived from
current meter gaugings up to 3.4m (about QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. One
peak flow rating has been applied to the entire record. A cableway allows high
flow gaugings. There are large man-made stepping stones upstream of cableway
that are thought to be a factor in the station control. Downstream its a natural
open channel with the exception of a fishing groyne downstream of station that
is influential on low flows. Rating derived from current meter gaugings up to
3.4m (about QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. One peak flow rating has been
applied to the entire record. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Rugged
topography. Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter. Developed largely on
granites and metamorphics with almost complete superficial deposit cover. Mostly
moorland and upland pasture. Some forest cover due to afforestation in Glen
Dye. | Flashy response. Abstraction (at Charr, PWS for Stonehaven)
accounts for <5% of Q95 flow. Off-line storage reservoir installed in early
1990s with connection back to the river, which might have an influence on
flows. |

Compound critical depth flume gauging a responsive, upland catchment with a
largely natural regime. | Compound critical-depth flume (constructed by
Grampian Regional Council, repaired in 1983). | Large capacity flume,
flows >30 cumecs estimated or truncated. July 2008, modifications for
fisheries carried out - centre of flume narrowed, hence low flow relationship
altered significantly. | Mixed flow series comprising lengthy runs of
naturalised and gauged flows. Incomplete chart records from 1963. Peak flows
from Aug 1990 only. | Rugged upland catchment with moorland (exclusively),
developed principally on granite; overlain by superficial deposits. | Very
responsive regime - natural apart from PWS abstraction (for Stonehaven), an
export of approx. 0.05 cumecs (around 5% of mean runoff), significant at low
flows. |

Velocity area station on the low-lying north east coast of Scotland. |
Velocity area station, about 10m wide. | Cableway rated. De-stabilised
artificial control replaced by gabions in 1989. Extreme floods above about 2m
bypass the station (via the rb floodplain; water spills onto the road and
collects in a depression, probably just evaporates and infiltrates). Rating
derived from current meter gaugings up to 1.8m (1.1 QMED), simple extrapolation
beyond. Two peak flow ratings have been applied to the record. | |
Low-lying catchment. Bedrock of mixed permeability with ORS; almost entirely
covered with superficial deposits. Arable landuse in valley, pastoral on hills
and some forestry. No significant catchment changes known. | Natural flow
regime. |

Velocity area station gauging a steep rural catchment. | Velocity area
station 10m wide. Stable bedrock control at low flows. | Cableway present.
Situation not ideal due to bend u/s and island d/s, but stage-discharge relation
is regularly reviewed using routine gaugings. | | Upper third of
catchment is fairly steep (Grampian Mountains), the rest has moderate slopes.
Majority of the catchment is on ORS, the remainder is metamorphic. Almost the
entire catchment is covered by superficial deposits. Land use is forest (approx.
half) and rough grazing at higher levels with arable and cattle elsewhere. |

Velocity area station in a low-lying coastal catchment. Flows affected by
abstractions and effluent returns. | Velocity area station, about 15m
wide. | Cableway present. High flow control is downstream bridge. Low flow
control is natural bar 30m d/s from hut. Bypassing occurs on the lb in the very
highest floods above 2.1m, but not considered to be significant at the levels
recorded. At higher levels then there is the potential for significant
bypassing. Summer weed growth necessitates frequent revisions to the rating.
Ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to 2.1m (about 1.1 to 1.3QMED)
for each rating, simple extrapolation beyond. Recent rating review in 2003. Four
peak flow ratings cover period of record. | | A gently sloping and
low-lying catchment between the Tay and Forth estuaries. Mixed bedrock geology;
ORS along the central valley, igneous to the north, some igneous plus
Carboniferous Limestone and sandstone to the south. Land use is mainly arable,
grassland, and woodland. No significant catchment changes known. |
Abstractions for irrigation; gw abstractions and effluent returns and small
reservoirs in the headwaters. |

Velocity area station gauging a low lying catchment. Station closed in
1992. | Velocity area station, 2.5m wide. Railway sleepers form the low
flow control. Station opened for spray irrigation monitoring. Closed 12/1992 due
to scour below railway sleeper control. | Gauged by wading to bankfull
(about 1m). There are problems with weed growth. | Data may be of limited
value. | Low undulating catchment on ORS. Mainly used for arable
farming. | Small recreational reservoirs (formerly for PWS) affect flow
when being cleaned out. Agricultural abstractions can reduce flow to zero. |

Velocity area station gauging a lowland catchment in North East Scotland.
Station closed in 2010. | Velocity area station, 5m wide. Station closed
during 2010. | Kerb weir control constructed Oct 1996 in attempt to make
more sensitive at low flows; previously unstable silt and gravel control. No
cableway. Calibrated to 0.7m (medium flow). Fairly slow flows. Weed growth is a
problem. | | Lowland catchment. Bedrock predominantly ORS; almost
entirely overlain by superficial deposits. Land use mainly arable, grassland and
forest. | Abstractions for irrigation. Recreational reservoirs (formerly
PWS; 2 u/s + 2 irrigation lagoons) affect flows when being cleaned out. Transfer
between reservoirs is common practice. |

Velocity area station gauging a catchment with steep, mountainous
headwaters. 62% of the catchment controlled for HEP. | Velocity area
station, about 95m wide. Original station (with bridge control) was moved u/s in
1975. Flows at the old station were all contained. | Cableway present,
span 120m. Natural control. Bypassing occurs mostly on the left bank at levels
above 3.15m - new temporary channel created in 1993 flood. Peak flow ratings
derived from current meter gaugings up to 5.3m (about 2.3QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. Data transfer from old site and hydraulic re-construction
also used for the highest floods. Peak flow ratings reviewed in 2003. |
Twice daily stage readings from July 1937, continuous recording from October
1951. Monthly naturalised data available 1973-1987. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Steep, mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter. Bedrock mostly
metamorphics and granites with more than half overlain by superficial deposits.
Landuse mountains and moorland, rough grazing and forestry. Upstream of Dunkeld
there are agricultural floodbanks within a reach spanning some 15km including
the confluence of the Upper Tay with River Tummel. | 62% of catchment
controlled for HEP; developed from 1930s to 1957 - reservoirs and water
transfers throughout the Tay and Tummel catchments. Net water import.
Substantial surface storage; numerous lochs, largest are Ericht, Rannoch, Tummel
and Tay. |

Velocity area station, the most downstream on the Tay. Station has the
highest gauged daily flow in the UK. | Velocity area station with
cableway; 90m wide. The most d/s station on the Tay which records the highest
gauged daily flow in the UK. | Control is bed slope and channel
cross-section. To date all flows have been contained. Two ratings derived from
current meter gaugings up to 5.413m (06/12/15, measured at 1447 cumecs), simple
extrapolation beyond. Some hydraulic re-constructions analysis undertaken to
estimate highest floods. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Mountainous headwater
catchment, often snowy in winter. Catchment is mostly steep (mountains and
moorland), exceptions are lower valleys. Bedrock mainly metamorphics and
granite, but the lower catchment (Isla Valley) is ORS. Over half of the
catchment is overlain by superficial deposits (mostly Boulder Clay). Landuse is
mainly rough grazing and forestry. Several large lochs in catchment (Ericht,
Tummel, Tay and Rannoch). | Since end of 1957, 1980 sq.km (43%) controlled
for HEP. From mid-nineties there may be an influence on flood frequency lower
down the Tay due to change in HEP management of levels to accommodate greater
storage for flood water. Some control prior to this. 73 sq.km controlled for
water supply. Significant winter snow cover. |

Velocity area station on the upper Tay. Part of the catchment controlled for
HEP. | Velocity area station, about 90m wide. | Cableway present.
Control is unstable gravel bed. To date all flows contained. Three peak flow
ratings across period of record derived from current meter gaugings; Rating
QHigh1959 from gaugings up to 2.6m (about 1.3QMED). The station was moved from
the left bank to the right bank on 01/07/1975 and a new datum was established.
The switch to rating QHigh1975 accommodates this datum change. QHigh1975 is
based on gaugings up to 3.5m (about 1.5QMED), with simple extrapolation
beyond. | Naturalised monthly flows available from 1973 to 1987. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter. Most of the
catchment is steep. Bedrock almost entirely metamorphic; half overlain by
superficial deposits. Land use mainly moorland, rough grazing and forestry.
Contains Loch Tay - the largest natural standing water body in greater Tay
catchment. | 293 sq.km (25% of catchment) controlled for HEP but no
further development post-1960. |

Velocity area station. Flows affected by abstraction at low flows and
imports from the Isla catchment. | Velocity area station, about 10m
wide. | Cableway present. Control is a road bridge. All flows contained to
date. Summer weed growth is a problem during low flows. No high flow gauging
since 1988. Peak flow ratings from current meter gauging; Rating 1 from gaugings
up to 2m (about 1.2 QMED), Rating 2 from gaugings up to 2m (about QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. | Naturalised monthly flows available 1973-87.
August - December 1973 flows missing due to faulty equipment. | Low-lying
and gently sloping catchment except for the South which drains the northern
flank of the Sidlaw Hills. Bedrock almost entirely ORS; largely overlain by
superficial deposits. Land use mainly arable and predominantly rural, but
urbanised (Forfar) around head of main channel. No significant catchment changes
known. | Slow reacting - flattish peaks. Attenuation at the top end of
catchment in Forfar Loch area. Reversal of flow back up into Forfar Loch under
extreme flows. Industrial and agricultural abstractions in low flows and in the
lower parts agricultural embankments. The town of Forfar discharges treated
effluent into Forfar Loch in the upper catchment; this is an import from the
Isla River. |

Velocity area station gauging a mountainous catchment, significantly
influenced by upstream impounding reservoirs. | Velocity area station,
about 25m wide. Removed from Peak Flow Dataset in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Cableway present. Until 1994 an island downstream of the station
was high flow control. Island was removed in 1994 by landowner, hence control is
now unstable for high flows and backing up occurs which can affect the rating.
Bypassing occurs at levels above 3.3m from about 2km u/s - flows bypass on the
right bank bend via meadow by overtopping of levees. Ratings derived from
current meter gaugings up to 2.7m, simple extrapolation beyond. Data removed
from peak flows dataset due to low confidence in flood estimates due to unstable
control, hysteresis and bypassing. | Naturalised monthly flows available
from 1973-1985. High flow data post-1994 is of poor quality due to unstable
control and bypassing at the station. | Mountainous headwaters, often
snowy in winter. Catchment lies on southern edge of Grampians rising above 1000m
and has mainly steep slopes. Southern part of the catchment is sandstone, the
remainder is metamorphic and igneous. More than half of the catchment is
overlain by superficial deposits. Landuse predominantly rough grazing and
forestry in uplands, cattle and arable in lowlands. No significant catchment
changes known. | Significantly influenced by impounding reservoir system
of Loch of Lintrathen and Blackwater Reservoirs (supply for Dundee). Appreciable
net export. This provides public water supply, industrial and agricultural
abstractions. |

Velocity area station draining the south east Grampians. Station is the
lowest tributary on the Tay above the tidal limit. | Control and bank
instability and various engineering works have impacted the performance since
2008. From around 2008 there was bank erosion on the right bank opposite the
stilling well hut and there was further washing out of the old stone mill weir
that is located downstream of station and downstream confluence of East Pow.
Flood protection works (phase 1) were on going from circa 2010 to repair bank
erosion and weir. Weir was rebuilt to include fish pass. Flood Protection work
ongoing since 2016 (phase 2). | Cableway present. Natural control. Channel
affected by ice during prolonged periods of low temperature. Weir downstream
could be control for high flows. Ratings derived from current meter gaugings up
to 2.3m (about 1.1QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Several ratings across
period of record. | Daily read gauge boards from January 1955 to January
1973. Naturalised monthly flows available from 1973-1985. December 1971/Jan 1972
flows removed from the NRFA; December 2009/January 2010 and December 2010 flows
considered suspect due to ice formation. 1993 highest flow checked by slope area
method. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October
2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Mountainous, often snowy in winter. Long,
narrow, steeply sloping catchment draining Glen Almond in SE of Grampians. Two
thirds of bedrock is metamorphic the remainder is sandstone. Over half of the
catchment is overlain by superficial deposits. Land use is heather moor, rough
grazing in upper parts with some cattle in the lower, some forest cover. HEP
schemes have developed within the catchment. | Very flashy. 30 sq.km
controlled for HEP. Minor abstraction from Fendoch Burn for water supply -
affecting only low and medium flows. |

Velocity area station in the upper Tay, 2km d/s from Loch Tay. |
Velocity area station, about 60m wide. | Cableway present. Natural
control. All flows contained to date. Strong winds over Loch Tay (2km upstream)
can affect flows. Current ratings derived from current meter gaugings. Flow
estimates above the highest gauging are based on simple extrapolation. Multiple
peak flow ratings across period of record. | Daily gaugeboard readings
1959-1974. Naturalised monthly flows available 1974-1985. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10) and in
August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | The catchment is in the Grampians
(rising up to >1200m) and is steeply sloping except for the valley bottom.
Mountainous, often snowy in winter. Bedrock almost all metamorphic; half
overlain by superficial deposits. Land use rough grazing with forest. Catchment
contains Loch Tay (16 miles long, 1.5miles wide) and some smaller lochs u/s. HEP
schemes have developed in the catchment. | Slow reacting regime. 120 sq km
of the catchment is controlled for hydroelectric power. Water imported from Lyon
catchment since 1958 - evident in water balance. Water exported to Loch Earn
catchment since 1958. |

channel (concrete walls) lined with gabions; banks are steep to 2.0m. Previously
velocity-area station: instability in rating caused by d/s deposition. |
Prior to weir installation in October 1988, the high flow control was
probably d/s bridge, but deposition caused problems. After the weir
installation: up to 1.4m stage the flow is modular. Non-modular flow sets in
somewhere above this level though not precisely known, partly due to occasional
dredging of d/s deposition. Peak flow rating derived from gaugings up to
2.3m. | Flows pre October 1988 are not fit for flood estimation and are
therefore rejected. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). |
The upper part of the catchment drains part of the Campsie Fells. Bedrock
composed of igneous rocks in headwaters and Carboniferous rocks in the valley;
predominantly overlain by superficial deposits. Land use predominantly moorland
and plantation forestry in headwaters, pasture in lower reaches. Minimal
floodplains. No significant catchment changes known. | Flashy response.
Catchment contains Carron Valley Reservoir, which pre-dates gauge. Export of
water and operation of reservoir can significantly influence flow patterns.
Influence of effluent return to Endrick Water on floods is negligible. |

Velocity area station in Scotland. Flows affected by lochs within the
catchment. | Velocity area station on a straight reach with artificially
heightened and steeped banks. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | The control was formerly a gravel bar, in Sep 1977
stabilised with gabions to form an irregular broad-crested weir. Possible
movement in control, evident at low flows. Weir is thought to be modular
throughout range. All flows contained to date. Peak flow rating derived from
current meter gaugings up to 1.6m (about QMED), simple extrapolation
beyond. | | Mostly low-lying catchment. Bedrock predominantly
Carboniferous rocks; predominately overlain by superficial deposits. Land use
lowland arable farming, and forest with significant urbanisation. Minimal
floodplains. No significant catchment changes known. | Relatively
un-flashy. There are a number of small storage reservoirs in the catchment plus
Loch Leven whose outflow is controlled by sluice gates (these can produce
seemingly anomalous flow hydrographs). Effluent return and
industrial/agricultural abstractions probably don't significantly influence
flood peaks. |

Velocity area station gauging a lowland catchment. | Open river
section. Station added to peak flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Fairly stable gravel bar low flow control. Archive notes state:
congestion by aquatic weeds in summer necessitates correction to recorded stage.
However, stage correction is no longer practiced at SEPA. High flows largely
contained. Gauged to 1.989m, with a measured flow of 26.2 cumecs. Four peak flow
ratings across period of record. Floodplain at 2.1m on left bank. | |
Lowland catchment. Bedrock Carboniferous rocks with igneous intrusions;
almost entirely covered by superficial deposits, mainly boulder clay. Land use:
predominantly grassland, forest, and arable with urban development at
Cumbernauld in the headwaters. | Low flows influenced by diurnal
fluctuations caused by Dunswood WWTW discharge at Cumbernauld. |

Velocity area station gauging a lowland catchment with some urban land
use. | Open river section. A railway embankment forms the rb, whilst the
lb is steep to the floodplain at 1.6m. Station added to peak flows dataset in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Stable rock bar low flow control, has
shown instability at right bank. Although an open channel, the gradual growth
and capsizing of a tree just downstream of the station is a key factor in
understanding the stage-discharge relationship. Its evolution is pretty well
documented by pictures. Its size and extent to which it slumps in the channel
increases through the station period of record until it collapses completely and
falls into the channel in February 2020. The impact of the tree is evident in
the ratings from 2012, where the second segment parameters are not typical of
open channel hydraulics. Two peak flow ratings across period of record. |
May 1994 flows affected by work at the Loch Fitty outlet. Record frozen
after 30/09/2019 due to tree fall onto station control. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Lowland catchment in the coal mining area of W Fife. Bedrock Carboniferous
rocks, >90% overlain by superficial deposits, mainly boulder clay. Land use
predominantly grassland, forest, and arable with urban development. | Low

Velocity area station. Flows affected by some storage in reservoirs and
industrial and agricultural abstractions. | Velocity area station; the
river takes a sharp left turn u/s at a site of river capture. | Archive
notes state the low flow control was an unstable gravel control 40m d/s;
replaced by gabion weir in Aug 1989. It was subsequently capped with concrete
and the upstream face lined with sheet piling; this was completed on the Sept
1995. High flow control was a small island in mid-channel immediately below
station; now it is probably the channel bend d/s. Following a full review of
ratings in 2021, it is suspected that the stage discharge relation is complex.
The random scatter of available flood gaugings suggests the site is affected by
variable tidal states, being so near to the Firth of Forth, assuming the weirs
between the station and river mouth are drowned out. There is very poor
confidence in the flood estimates from this site and especially during the early
period before the gabion weir was built on 01/08/89 as tidal influence will
likely have been more pronounced in this early period. Flows in the period
between the gabion weir build up to the upgrade to the concrete design (01/08/89
to a date between 1995 and 1999) will likely be a period of relatively lower
confidence considering the typical poor performance of gabion weirs. The exact
date of the weir rebuild has yet to be confirmed as different dates exist in the
records ranging from 01/10/1995 to 01/01/1999. The pre 1999 records have been
rejected until the all the pre digital information is available to allow a
thorough assessment of this early period. The banks have contained all recorded
flows. It has tentatively been kept in Peak Flows as a QMED only site. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8), and in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Lowland
catchment. Bedrock Carboniferous sedimentaries; predominantly overlain by
superficial deposits, mainly boulder clay. The catchment is predominantly rural;
grassland, arable and forest landuse dominate, with a few small former
coal-mining towns. No significant catchment changes known. | Extensive
moorland drainage schemes in headwaters. Industrial and agricultural
abstractions. Low flows are moderately affected by effluent discharges. Some
storage in Linlithgow, Lochcota and Forrestburn Reservoirs and Loch Ellrig. |

A station in the middle of the Leven Catchment. Flows influenced by an
opencast mine u/s. | Concrete Flat V weir situated under a bridge which
will contain all flows. | Until 1991 the control was a gabion weir 5m d/s
of the bridge. The site is immediately d/s of the large Westfield opencast coal
mine; this has a significant influence on flows, particularly as a result of gw
issuing from breached faults. | | Lowland catchment dominated by
opencast coal mine u/s of the station. Mostly permeable bedrock with ~85%
covered by superficial deposits. Land use grassland, arable, some forest. |

A velocity-area station located to the NE of Stirling with some influence on
low flows from headwater reservoirs. Station closed in Nov 2021. | Natural
section with steep banks. | Good stable flood rating. Low flow control is
gravel bar under road bridge 100m d/s. Severe weed growth in summer and very low
velocities make low flow measurement difficult. RAFT rising air-bubble technique
used unsuccessfully. | Station closed in November 2021. | Headwaters
are steep; lower valley is broad and very flat. Bedrock extrusive igneous rocks,
50% overlain by superficial deposits. Land use arable in the valley; grassland
in headwaters, some forest. | Low flows moderated by Castlehill Res. in
headwaters, commissioned in 1977 (prescribed minimum river level). |

A velocity-area station located upstream of Stirling with headwaters in the
Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. | Well sited station on
straight, natural river section 70m wide. On 06/06/1956 recorder was moved d/s
to its current position. An earlier station by the same name existed somewhere
upstream from 1939. SEPA holds copies of the chart record from this earlier
station but has no details of the exact location, any gauging history, or rating
details from the earlier station. Station added to peak flows dataset in August
2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Steep banks of ~3m have contained all recorded
floods. Low flow control is long gravel riffle: high flow control is channel
geometry, including downstream bend and mid-stream island. Station suffers from
occasional ice build up. Multiple ratings accross period of record. No gaugings
or ratings available for period prior to 01/04/1970. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Catchment rising from near sea level up to ~1150m. Complex
bedrock, predominantly impermeable (metamorphic) with approx. 60% superficial
deposit cover. Land use mainly grassland and forest. The Teith drains from the
Trossachs. | Six large lochs in catchment - some supplying water to
Glasgow: flows <75%ile elevated above natural and flows >75%ile are less
than expected naturally. |

A station useful for flood data north of Stirling. | Flood rating
stable but large boulders make gauging a problem at low flows. | Flood
rating stable but large boulders make current meter gaugings a problem at low
flows. As site is within a caravan park the low flow control is susceptible to
rearrangement by children. No longer a caravan park, now a private housing
estate, so no access to control. Control is stable. | Although GDF data is
available from 1971 the station was impacted by land raising for development on
the left bank in 1995 which changed the channel geometry: hence peak flow data
only available after 1995. A few (relatively low) peak flow values are actually
lower than values at upstream station (Kinbuck, 18001) but effect is attributed
to in-channel attenuation as flood volumes at Bridge of Allan are greater. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | The Allan Water occupies a broad flat valley with steep
lateral tributaries. Bedrock predominantly Old Red Sandstone; ~85% overlain by
superficial deposits. Land use grassland with some arable and forest cover. |
Some minor upstream abstractions but natural to within 10% at 95%ile.
Upstream quarry and hydroschemes have an effect on flow regime. |

A station on the meandering River Forth. | Velocity area station. |
Ill defined control at road bridge. Difficult to measure slow velocities by
c/m at low stages. Station has now been successfully rated by c/m 5km u/s. Only
measured by ADCP at station since 2008. | | Relatively flat
catchment with its upper reaches rising steeply. Bedrock mixed permeability with
~60% superficial deposits. Upper catchment heavily forested; lower reaches,
where river meanders extensively, supports agriculture. | Three lochs
influence the flow regime. Very slow response, in comparison with the
neighbouring River Teith, due to the meandering nature of the river through the
Stirling carse land. |

A station d/s of the confluence of the Rivers Teith and Forth. |
Originally opened in 1972 - known as Drip Bridge. Rebuilt on same site in
1982. 70m wide section - part of a large meander just above the tidal limit.
Left bank floods at high stages. | Steep section contains all floods.
Bridge acts as control at all stages. Gabions installed in 1980 beneath one arch
to stabilise control. Reasonably stable rating, although low flow gaugings and
rating segments now influenced by deposition from drain entering between
measuring section and main bridge control on right bank. Since 2017 all gaugings
taken upstream of drain, so it is no longer an influence. | |
Bedrock Devonian and Carboniferous sedimentaries in lower catchment;
metamorphic rocks with igneous intrusions above. Mostly heather moorland;
rugged. | |

A velocity area station on the Bannock Burn which joins the River Forth
downstream. | Velocity area station. Station added to peak flows dataset
in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Gabion river control initially showed
signs of instability, but is now stable. The river flows through a large culvert
style bridge downstream of the station and this may be an influential control
feature during the largest floods. Both banks along the station consist of
intermittent stretches of artificial vertical stone wall. The banks in 2019 are
densely vegetated with tree branches growing over the channel. Pictures from the
1970s show that vegetation on the banks was much less during the earlier period
of record. Two peak flow ratings across period of record. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Mostly low-lying catchment. Bedrock mixed permeability; ~85%
overlain by superficial deposits. Catchment is mostly moorland; some forest and
arable landuse. | Small reservoirs in catchment have a slight effect on
otherwise natural flows. |

A station in the headwaters of the River Forth catchment. | Two
trapezoidal flumes in parallel. Station closed in May 2011 due to the
construction of a new inadequate forestry road crossing immediately downstream
of the station which frequently backs up flows, adversely effecting the
hydraulic performance of the trapezoidal flumes. | Occasionally overtopped
by up to 500mm (flume rating is extrapolated), but it does not drown. Inordinate
mean annual loss (>900 mm). | | A small and steep catchment with
thin soils. Impermeable catchment; no superficial deposits. One of the most
afforested UK catchment with about 70% mature forest. | Flows are
flashy. |

Velocity area station, the most downstream on the Almond. | Velocity
area station with cableway. | Recorder is well sited. The station is
located on a straight even reach with steep banks containing all recorded
floods. Low flow control is a stable bar. The high flow control is likely a
bedrock cascade combined with the deep gorge and bridge pillars at Grotto Bridge
approximately 600m downstream, providing consistency through the period of
record. Peak flow rating derived from current meter gaugings up to 3.3m (about
1.1 QMED), extrapolated above. Gaugings from 1957 not included in derivation of
rating. A new ramp was installed on 24/01/2020 and set to the same gauge zero
datum as the old ramp. A GPS survey on 09/11/2021 refined and replaced the old
gauge zero figure for the entire record. Low end gauging bias after the ramp
installation created some doubt on whether the new ramp had been installed to
the same datum. However, the detected shift below 0.5m is thought to reflect the
fault in the alignment of the old ramp below around 0.5m. A new rating had to be
created to accommodate this, event though there was no actual shift in control
or datum. The stage data pre 24/01/2020 has not been adjusted as the same error
in stage recoding has been applied to both the stage record and to the gaugings
and hence the flow record is unaffected. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Mostly lowland catchment. Bedrock predominantly Carboniferous rocks;
predominantly overlain by superficial deposits. Land use rural (grassland,
arable, forest), with extensive urban development around Livingston, esp.
industrial estates, and several small mining towns. No significant catchment
changes known. Possible future change: expansion of Edinburgh Airport. |
There are three water supply reservoirs in the headwaters (Cobbinshaw,
Crosswood and Morton). Low flows substantially affected by sewage effluent esp.
from Mid Calder and Newbridge STW and six smaller STWs. Abstraction at Almondell
to feed Union canal. |

Broad-crested masonry weir on the River Almond. Land use changes may have
affected the flow regime. | Broad-crested masonry weir of a former pumping
station intake works; section about 6m wide. Prior to 1969 the weir was
compounded (lower crest 6.1m wide, upper crest 1.45m wide). A sluice gate, which
extended the earlier structure capacity by 2.8cumecs, was permanently closed in
1969. | U/s from weir, weed growth has constricted approach channel.
Containment good on rb, structure full 1.4m corresponds to bankfull on lb and
has been exceeded several times during the period of record. No cableway. A
footbridge d/s & a metal vehicle crossing 30m d/s maybe high flow control.
Peak flow rating derived from current meter gaugings up to 1m (about 0.8 QMED),
simple extrapolation beyond. | | Mainly low-lying plateau moorland
(much artificially drained). Mixed permeability bedrock with predominantly
superficial deposit cover. Carboniferous limestone, Millstone Grit, Coal
Measures. Land use predominantly rough pasture with small mining communities in
the valley; substantial afforestation in the headwaters. | Land use
changes may have affected the flow regime. Effluent return. Mining may lead to
accretion and quality concerns. Artificial moorland drainage. |

A dog-legged ogee section masonry weir on the North Esk. | A
dog-legged ogee section masonry weir, 25m wide. Very badly polluted river in the
past due to paper waste. | Weir is insensitive. All flows contained. There
is no cableway and so the station is rated by wade gaugings up to below QMED,
with flows beyond this based on simple extrapolation. Single peak flow rating
across the period of record. Extrapolated flows above 15 cumecs should be used
with caution and rated flow estimates above QMED are not credible. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8) and August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Upland catchment draining
the SE slopes of the Pentland hills. Bedrock Carboniferous and Devonian
sedimentaries with igneous intrusions; predominantly overlain by superficial
deposits. Rural catchment - mostly rough grazing with some forest, arable
landuse and some urban. Penicuik town has approximately doubled in size during
the period of record. Minimal floodplains. | Flashy response. Low flows
affected by effluent return and industrial and agricultural abstractions.
Several small storage reservoirs in the headwaters. |

Informal Flat V weir. Water abstracted to supply Union Canal. | An
informal Flat V triangular weir was installed at the site in June 1970.
Structure widened and a sluice (bypass) incorporated - June 1971. |
Original control was a natural bar with large boulders before the
installation of the informal Flat V triangular weir. The sluice is thought to be
for weir maintenance only and has no impact on the flow record. An old stone
double arch bridge approx. 300m downstream will likely be a control feature at
the highest events when the weir is drowned out. Two ratings are applied; before
and after weir installation. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Catchment with
mix of lowlands-uplands. Bedrock mainly Carboniferous rocks; predominantly
overlain by superficial deposits. Predominantly grassland, some forest (in
headwaters), and arable landuse. Predominantly rural. Floodplain active even at
QMED between Harthill and Blackburn in headwaters. Livingston was developed
during the period of record and development is still on-going. There are several
small coal mining towns in catchment. | Low flows affected by effluent
discharge from East Calder sewage works and by abstraction (<1cumecs) to
supply Union Canal via a thin plate weir 200m u/s of the station. Flashy
response. |

Velocity area station, the most downstream on the Water of Leith. |
Velocity area station in a straight even reach 50m upstream of a road
bridge; section about 14m wide. The banks are steep to 2.5m. | There are
two single arch road bridges 50m downstream and it is hypothesised that one or
both are the main control during floods. These bridges have been constant
through the period of record. The low flow control is the rock bar under the
bridge, transitioning to the bank profile at medium flows and then the bridge(s)
at higher flows. The piers of the railway bridge around 0.5km downstream are
potentially influential during higher events. The gradient of the 1984 flood
level was surveyed down through the reach of the railway bridge and it shows
significant backing up from the piers. However, considering the railway piers
are much further downstream, the local influence of the two road bridges likely
preside as the dominant control at flood levels. There is also a large mill weir
downstream from the railway bridge, although it likely not a factor being so far
downstream. The photo archive in 2003 compared to the 1970s shows greater
vegetation growth on the banks and hints at possible bank slumping. Three flood
ratings are applied through the station history from 1962. The change in flood
rating around 1966 from QHigh1962 to QHigh1966 is thought to represent a datum
change and not a control change. Confirmation of this datum change and the exact
date has yet to be resurrected from the paper archives. QHigh1966 is deemed
suitable up to the start of the flood defence work that started around October
2016 and ended around October 2017. The works involved a lot of variable channel
adjustment in the station reach including the temporary dumping of building
material in the channel during two separate phases of the construction. There
was no gaugings or calibration carried out during the period of works, which
spanned water year 2016. The flows in this period had to be modelled by
regression from Colinton gauging station and hence are of lower confidence. The
flood defence works were finished by October 2017 and gauging commenced to
capture the new stage-discharge relationship. Flood gauging in November 2022
allowed the creation the flood segment, QHigh2017, which is deemed applicable
from the completion of the flood defences in October 2017. This creation of
QHigh2017 was based on limited gauging evidence and newer versions of this
rating will be required as SEPA work to improve the new stage-discharge
relationship and increase the confidence in the flood estimates. Bankfull of
2.6m valid until 01/10/2016 - new bankfull post-flood defence scheme is yet to
be established. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Catchment with mix of lowlands-uplands; headwaters in the Pentland
Hills. Bedrock permeable with predominantly superficial deposits. Lower part of
the catchment has undergone urban development; the upper part contains mainly
moorland, arable and forest landuse. On-going urban development particularly in
1970s. Dense urban development in lower catchment. Narrow long catchment. Extent
of floodplain storage is unlikely to exert a major influence on flood
regime. | Catchment contains 3 storage reservoirs in headwaters
(Harperrig, Threipmuir, Harlaw). They are no longer used for water supply and
Threipmuir has a target seasonal level regime for wildlife management. Proposed
drawdown levels are being discussed (2002/03) for flood alleviation purposes.
Union Canal runs through lower catchment though it is not likely to influence
flood regime significantly. 150 combined sewer overflows in urban reaches.
Relatively impervious and flashy. |

Velocity area station, the most downstream on the Esk. | Velocity area
station in a section with steep banks. | Low flow control is a shingle
bar, high flow control formed by bridge buttresses. The downstream bridge was
converted from a rail bridge to a road bridge around 1982. In extreme flows,
control of bridge diminishes and control becomes d/s channel and footbridge.
Flows abstracted u/s of the main station along a mill lade were monitored (until
late 1980s) - summation needed to give total basin runoff. Low flows can be
affected by sewage effluent and mining water. Abstraction immediately u/s
bypasses gauged station. Stream controlled by a sluice - it was monitored by
Station 22 (Mill Lake at Inveresk), which was closed in the late 1980s (QBAR
0.7cumecs). Multiple peak flow ratings accross period of record. High rating
appears to oscillate with periodic dredging (a problem in the past) and
accretion of a bar on the rb. The deposition of sediment and associated dredging
was exacerbated by a upstream landslip on 08/01/1992. There is a report of
dredging occurring on 01/07/1995. | Historic flooding occurred and is
manifested in markings on Inveresk Mill (e.g. 13/08/1948 7.37m, 21/09/1891
6.99m), about 1m above bankfull. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Catchment with mix of
lowlands-uplands. Bedrock Carboniferous sediments predominantly overlain by
superficial deposits. Land use predominantly exposed moorland of the Moor
foothills with arable lands, forest, and several small former mining towns in
the valley. Notable floodplains. No significant catchment changes known. |

Crump single-crest weir on the South Esk. | Crump single-crest weir
approximately 6m wide. Closed 01/01/1990; replaced by Cow Bridge. Was on a
straight artificial cut which diverted the flow from a coal mining waste
site. | Accretion u/s deflects the flow which is skewed at the weir crest.
To even the flow a step was built across channel u/s. Theoretical calibration
superseded in 1970 by current meter gaugings up to 1.5m (about QMED). |
| The catchment is predominantly exposed moorland (developed on
Carboniferous sediments) with some forest cover. Some mining (until late 1980s).
No significant catchment changes known. Minimal floodplain storage. | Some
mining until late 1980's. Low flows were moderately augmented by pumping from
collieries - now ceased. Three reservoirs (largest is Gladhouse Reservoir) and
one loch in headwaters. |

Compound Crump weir on Braid Burn. Some small reservoirs in headwaters that
are drawn down for flood prevention. | Compound Crump weir without a
cableway. Removed from Peak Flow Dataset in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). |
Flows were originally measured by a Crump profile weir and trapezoidal flume
in parallel. The flume suffered from choking by domestic refuse and children's
dams and so was replaced in Oct 1985 by a second Crump profile weir d/s of the
first. Culverts present about 300m d/s and may back up in flood situations.
Theoretical rating with current meter gaugings up to 0.4m (0.4 QMED). Changed
after new structure built in 1985. Possible new hydraulic model rating once
flood prevention scheme complete. Crump weir can be affected by deposition when
only the lower crest is in use (but this clears once the higher crest is also in
use). Data removed from peak flows dataset due to very poor confidence in peak
flows as essentially designed and operated for low flows - no flood gaugings,
backing up from downstream culvert and poor containment. | Flows during
the flood prevention works are still under review and therefore not held on the
NRFA. | Mostly low-lying catchment with the headwater tributaries steeply
rising in the Pentland Hills. Complex bedrock geology - Silurian/Devonian
sedimentaries and igneous intrusions; with half overlain by superficial
deposits. The lower part of the catchment is extensively urbanised. There are
several small reservoirs in the headwaters with forest and some arable landuse.
Progressive urbanisation. | Flood prevention works affected the site
(completed in 2011). Torduff, Clubbiedean and Bonaly are small reservoirs in
headwaters that are drawn down for flood prevention. Combined sewer overflows
discharge into the stream. |

Velocity area station on North Esk, new site 300m upstream of old from Aug
1993. | Velocity area station. The rb is a vertical stone wall, whilst the
lb slopes gently to the hut at 2.5m. The water is stained red from effluent
pumped from mine workings. | The recorder is sited on a bend in a natural
river reach immediately u/s of a footbridge. Flow velocities are faster near the
rb, especially in floods. The new site (from Aug 1993) is situated 300m u/s on a
straight section with a rock bar control. Both station locations have contained
all flows to date. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to
1.6m (about 1.1 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. | | Mostly
upland catchment with the headwaters draining the steep slopes of the Pentland
Hills. Bedrock Carboniferous and Devonian sedimentaries with igneous intrusions.
Predominantly overlain by superficial deposits. Land use mostly rough grazing
with some forest and arable. Significant urban development. No significant
changes although mining in the area declined in 1980's. | North Esk
Reservoir is a small reservoir that probably has no effect on flood
response. |

A station to the SE of Edinburgh built to measure compensation flows from
reservoirs in the Lothian Region. | Flat V weir. Built to measure
compensation flows from reservoirs in the Lothian region; these dominate the
summer hydrographs. Both SEPA and Scottish Water measure here. | Flows
fully contained in vertical channel walls. Uses theoretical rating (confirmed by
gauging). The station is gauged by wading up to 0.5m, ADP gauging is carried out
at higher levels from a bridge ~500m downstream. There is a small inflow channel
upstream of the weir (right bank) which can input at high flows and cause a bit
of turbulence. There are no problems with weed growth at the station. |
| Catchment is almost entirely rural. The SW edge of the catchment is
steep (Pentland Hills) rising to over 500m; the rest has moderate slopes.
Bedrock predominantly permeable with ~85% superficial deposit cover. Land use
grassland and arable with some forestry and two major reservoirs. | Regime
affected by Water of Leith flood prevention scheme. |

A station on the Brox Burn upstream of the confluence with the River
Almond. | Station added to peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | A flat broad crested weir has been in place though the entire
period of record. Although the station started operation in 1976, the digital
record starts from June 1997. The insensitive weir design is not conducive to
accurate low flow estimations. The weir does however provide some control
stability and continuity through record. Some work was carried out in 2022 to
improve the ratings applied through the record and to improve the upper segment
for optimal and consistent estimation of floods. These improvements allowed the
station to be considered for inclusion in the Peak Flows. One peak flow rating
across period of record. Rated flood flows are based on gaugings up to 1.012m,
with a measured flow of 8.4 cumecs. Flow estimates above the highest gauging are
based on a simple extrapolation of the rating. The banks appear sufficiently
high to contain the higher floods and so this improves the likelihood that the
extrapolated rating is producing reasonable flow estimates. Considering the
above information, pooling status has been tentatively assigned to this station.
However, with the highest flood in the digital record reaching 1.797m and other
larger events exceeding 1.5m, the extent of the rating extrapolation brings
uncertainty that the end user should consider before using this dataset in a
particular study. | The POT record is likely missing two peaks in
WY2008/09 due to gaps in the stage record. | | |

A station located next to Edinburgh airport on a straight reach in a mainly
agricultural catchment. | Station (rated section with cableway) located on
a straight reach in a mainly agricultural catchment (the only development is at
Edinburgh Park, development here is still on-going [2015]). Further d/s of the
station the river turns a 90 degree bend at the Edinburgh Airport runway just
above the confluence with the River Almond. This can back-up at high flows and
flood parts of the airport. The river tends to flood u/s of the station with
consequent damping of its hydrographs. Station added to peak flows dataset in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Small low flow control and large
masonry broad crested weir controlling higher flows. A good site, although an
issue of gauging at low flows due to low velocities in the channel; this has
been improved by gauging with a Flow Tracker instead of propeller current meter.
Station gets silted up so needs regular flushing. There is regular weir cleaning
to keep it clear. Sediment was dug our from the left side of the weir on
10/08/2017. | Exceptional peak flow in April 2000 followed storm totals
exceeding 80mm. | Lowland catchment. Bedrock permeable with >95%
superficial deposit cover. Catchment includes part of Edinburgh, and the urban
fraction is increasing. 1.5km of the river has been culverted because of new
development. The remainder of the catchment is mainly arable, grassland, and
forest. | Small net impact on runoff due to airport discharges. |

The last station on the River South Esk before the confluence with the River
North Esk. | Station added to peak flows dataset in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | Rocky riffle downstream is section control for low flows.
Medium to high flows controlled by downstream open channel hydraulics and
downstream bridges may be a factor at highest flows. The rating parameters could
be adjusted to better align with the channel physics, but the ratings themselves
are a good fit to the available gauging's and flows are contained. | |

Velocity area station, the most downstream on the Tyne. | Velocity
area station. | This is an open channel station. The low flow section
control being the riffle downstream from the station. For higher flows, the
channel control becomes the dominant feature with the road bridge 200m
downstream playing a key role. An old mill weir and bedrock cascade further
downstream may be influential control features during large floods. The rebuild
of the road bridge 200m downstream at an unknown date in 1982 is the most
significant event affecting the station calibration, with distinctly different
relationships before and after the build. The old bridge had a single span. The
current bridge design is double box culvert shaped. Before 1982 the ratings are
calibrated using gaugings up to 3.026m, which provide good confidence in the
flood estimates before 1982. After 1982 there was a long period with no flood
gaugings, until the cableway was recommissioned in 2019. Subsequently some flood
gaugings at 2.38m were carried out in June 2019 and these provide some
confidence in the post 1982 calibration up to 2.38m. These gaugings at 2.38m
coincidently mark the start of a major change in cross sectional bank profile,
where there is a footpath inserted along the left bank. Post 1982 flood
estimates above 2.38 are based on a crude modelled segment based on knowledge of
channel dimensions and with some gravitation to pre 1982 flood gaugings. Lower
segments through the period of record have been developed to capture evident
changes to the low flow control. These include a pipe construction, first
noticeable in gaugings from 01/05/69, periods of weed growth in 1973 and 1974,
and a large flood on 07/11/2000. Archive notes for the early part of the record,
mention corrections for periods of weed growth and any future revision and
recalculation of low to medium flows in this early period would need to
investigate and understand this more. | During 1982 recorded stage was
adjusted during rebuilding of the road bridge 200m d/s. Peaks over threshold
prior to September 1992 have a default time of 00:00. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
The catchment is characterised by steep headwaters in the Lammermuir Hills
and broad flat valleys. Bedrock Silurian and Ordovician sedimentary rocks;
predominantly superficial deposit cover. Land use mainly arable in the valleys
with grassland in the headwaters. No significant catchment changes known. |
Low flows affected by sewage effluent and abstraction for irrigation d/s of
Haddington. Significant floodplain storage throughout lower reaches believed to
influence flood frequency curve. |

Trapezoidal flume and Crump profile weir on West Peffer Burn. | The
station originally consisted of a large-size GRP trapezoidal flume only. Since
15/09/1967 flows have been measured by a trapezoidal flume and Crump profile
weir (crump crest at 0.445m above flume invert) in parallel. The section is
within steep banks on a straight reach of a small ditch with low gradient (no
cableway). Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Low flows are severely reduced by both groundwater and surface
water abstraction for spray irrigation during dry summers. Pre-1968: theoretical
rating or stages up to 0.914m; high flow calibration is not reliable. From 1968:
theoretical rating, confirmed by gaugings. Modular probably to 0.757m - then
kink point in rating curve. Bankfull around 2.2m. Primarily a low flows
structure with limited high flow gaugings and variable backwater effects. |
| Lowland catchment draining flat arable land. An impervious
catchment with an extensive Boulder Clay cover. Agricultural drainage has
possibly changed and improved over period of record. | Channel is known to
be dammed upstream which can affect the flows. |

Velocity area station, flood warning station. | Velocity area station.
The channel reach is within steep, high flood banks which contain all floods in
record. Flows from this station are used as part of the Haddington flood warning
system. | SEPA has record of gaugings from 29/09/1959 and so the station
must have existed in some form from at least this date. The formal start date is
01/02/1962, but the existence of earlier data is worth recognition and hopefully
can be resurrected and understood on future investigation. The original station
was open channel with a gravel bar acting as the low flow control. The original
NRFA station description mentioned that the gauge board was lowered by 0.125m on
01/09/1969. However, the datum history on NRFA suggests the adjustment was from
70mAOD to 69.09mAOD (-0.91m). Hence there is an outstanding action on SEPA to
check the station history records and clarify the adjustment. The datum
adjustment is not currently reflected in the Peak Flow rating records and in
need of review. A gabion basket control was installed on 29/09/1972. On
01/08/1975, the current concrete broad crested weir was constructed, likely
using the gabion as a foundation. Until the control and datum history are
clarified, the pre 01/08/1975 records are recommended by SEPA to be rejected.
The post 01/08/75 data has greater confidence, with the concrete weir providing
some stability. The weir drowns out at medium flows. Flows are largely contained
in the channel. Three peak flow ratings across period of record. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP
Files v5) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). Peak flows are rejected
pre-1975 pending clarification of control and datum history. | The
headwaters drain exposed moorland of the Lammermuir Hills. Bedrock mostly
impermeable predominantly overlain by superficial deposits (thin soils).
Silurian/Devonian sedimentaries. Land use predominantly arable with some forest.
No significant catchment changes known. | Flashy response. Low flows are
affected by industrial and agricultural abstractions. |

A station on the East Peffer Burn with hydrometric issues at high
flows. | Crump weir and trapezoidal flume in parallel. | Low flows
are measured accurately but the low gradient and dense vegetation result in
drowning during high flows. Second recorder d/s for non-modular computation is

Velocity area station, on Gifford Water that drains the steep moorland
slopes of the Lammermuir Hills. | Velocity area station. The recorder is
sited immediately d/s of a footbridge on a slight bend in a natural
channel. | The low flow control is a stable rock bar. The likely high flow
control is a bend in the channel. One flood rating derived from current meter
gaugings up to 1.585m with 25.2 cumecs measured. Flow estimations above the
highest gauging are based on simple extrapolation of the rating. The flood
rating segment was revised in 2016 and then again in 2021. Archive notes mention
of issues with the inlet pipe including a tendance to becoming blocked during
low flows and suffering from velocity drawdown at higher flows. `It was also
noted that a stilling chamber was constructed but has been washed into the
channel and needs to be replaced`. There was no date assigned to this note. |
A large tree fell into the channel and was present between late 2013 and
early 2014, causing possible gravel accumulation (resulting in lower flows from
higher levels). Tree removed in early 2014, but low flows from then to present
are suspect due to uncertainty in rating. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5) and then again in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Mostly low-lying catchment with headwaters
rising quite steeply. Bedrock predominantly Silurian and Ordovician;

The old gauging station at Peebles was in operation from 1939 by the then
Department of Agriculture. It was located 360m upstream from the current station
and was attached onto Priorsford suspension bridge. In 1959 the station was
moved 360m downstream to it current location. It is a velocity area station in a
natural section around 45m wide and with a stable gravel bed control. There are
two water supply reservoirs in the upper Tweed Catchment. | Velocity area

about 360m u/s. | The Priorsford gauging station, located 360 meters
upstream of the current Peebles station, began operation on 28/05/1939. The well
and hut were positioned on the downstream side of the Priorsford suspension
bridge, with the gauge board on the opposite buttress. A Glenfield and Kennedy
chart recorder documented water levels. The station was relocated downstream on
14/07/1959 to a more stable section with a 45-meter-wide gravel bed control.
This site provided more reliable measurements, though the stilling well
sometimes bottomed out at low water levels. The records at Priorsford stopped
during WWII from 28/12/1940 to 13/08/1948, hastilty resuming in time thanks to
recorder Mr. Scott to document the significant August 1948 flood. SEPA digitized
the Priorsford and Peebles records up to 01/01/1986. The records from 1939 to
1969 were digitized by Mallon Technology Ltd directly from the original charts,
while microfilm records from 1969 to 1986 were digitized in-house by an intern
in 2016 using Un-Scanit software. This process created a continuous 15-minute
digital record from 13/08/1948 to the present. The period from 18/12/1968 to
01/01/1986 underwent detailed quality control, focusing on records captured from
microfilm and transitioning from Imperial to Metric measurements. Editing
comments were logged in WISKI, with limited quality control applied to earlier
periods (1948-1968) for AMAX peaks, using visual inspections and comparisons
with other data sources. Significant floods in 1948 and 1949 required
corrections, with the most reliable stage figures derived from observer records
and other sources. Due to the absence of direct gauging data at Priorsford, flow
records for the station were generated using hydraulic modelling conducted by
JBA in 2022. This model also accounted for a rail bridge that existed downstream
of the Priorsford suspension bridge, dismantled around 1950. The model included
two rating curves, one for the period before the bridge was removed and another
for after. This adjustment helps ensure that the flow records accurately reflect
historical conditions, though the exact date of the bridge removal is still
being established. The August 1948 flood was a significant event that saw the
station being hastily reactivated. The digitized peak for 11/08/1948 was later
adjusted to align with a contemporary observer record, which indicated the peak
occurred on 13/08/1948 at a stage of 3.658 meters. The digitized trace initially
recorded a higher peak but was corrected based on more reliable observer notes.
The January 1949 flood had a truncated chart trace, flat-lining at a stage of
3.353 meters due to mechanical limitations. Handwritten annotations on the chart
suggested higher peak levels, with 4.115 meters being adopted after editing,
though another figure of 4.318 meters could also be justified. The peak recorded
for the 1954 flood closely matched the observers notes, requiring no further
adjustments. For Water Year 1966, the peak event recorded on 27/02/1967 was
manually inserted into the record, as the chart for that period was missing.
Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record. | Digitising and flow
modelling work in 2022 allowed the revision of flows from 1948 to 1959 and the
combined record from the old and new station provides a continuous flow record
from 1948. The addition of these 11 years from the old station is significant as
it includes the three largest flood events on record. For the current station
post 1959, the optimal flood rating with a modelled floodplain segment was
applied through the station record for the 2017 data submission and these flow
records have not been amended in the 2023 data submission. However, prior to
18/12/1968 there is low confidence in POT data. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Upland
catchment. Bedrock mostly impervious Palaeozoic and igneous formations with
substantial superficial deposits in the valleys. Hill grazing predominates; some
improved grassland to N; elsewhere some forest and arable. Notable floodplains.
Fruid Reservoir (1968). | Storage in Talla, Fruid, Baddinsgill and West
Water Reservoirs for public water supply - overall runoff is diminished. Monthly
naturalised flows available. Fruid Reservoir was built in the upper catchment in
1967 to supplement the water supply from the adjacent. Talla reservoir (1905).
Its worth noting the addition of Fruid reservoir part way through the station
record. |

Velocity area station, central in the Tweed basin and marks the divide
between hilly uplands and lowland areas. | Good rated straight section
(~55m wide) with stable gravel bed and a uniform cross section and velocity
profile. Cableway (25m d/s). Reach is used for salmon fishing. | Station
is only gauged by cableway as it is too deep to wade, even at low flows.
Downstream gravel bar acts as low flow control. Calibration affected by seasonal
weed growth. Bypassing could occur on rb, but has not been witnessed. Multiple
peak flow ratings across period of record. | Monthly naturalised flows
available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April
2017 (WINFAP Files v5) and September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). Exceptionally high
flow on 31/10/1977 supported by analogue station 21011 upstream. | Gauging
site is central in Tweed basin and marks divide between hilly uplands and
lowland areas. Bedrock mainly impervious Silurian formations with roughly half
superficial deposit cover. Land use is hill grazing with forestry and a little
arable land. Fruid Reservoir (1968) and Megget Reservoir (1982). Notable
floodplains. | Resevoir storage for public water supply modifies natural
flow regime but overall impact is minor. Freshets are released from Fruid and
Talla Resevoirs into the River Tweed, ~ 7 miles downstream of its source. Rise
in stage from these releases can be ~50mm at Boleside and are visible on the

Velocity area station in Southern Uplands. | Velocity area station;
approx. 40m wide section. Natural section with cableway about 1km before
confluence with Tweed. | Low flow control by d/s gravel riffle. Gradual
bed accretion is evident in the long-term stage hydrograph and possibly
triggered by the large 1977 flood. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of
record. With such close proximity to the downstream confluence, variable back
water effects are a possibility, but there is currently too few flood gaugings
to confirm this. Upper limit of rating during pre-digital period is 2m to
indicate lower confidence. | Bypassing on left bank occurs at levels above
2m (e.g. Oct 2002), but the bypassing flows were not measured. Monthly
naturalised flows available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Southern Uplands.
Relatively narrow impervious (mostly Silurian formations) catchment (half
overlain by superficial deposits). Land use is mostly hill grazing, with some
forested areas. Megget Reservoir (1982). | St Mary's Loch and Megget

Velocity area station on the Yarrow Water, in the Borders in the south east
of Scotland. | Velocity area station; about 25m wide natural coarse gravel
bedded straight section. | Control unstable. Sensibly natural regime
before Megget Res. began impounding in 1982 (small overall impact on water
balance), and flood peaks are also attenuated by St Mary's Loch. To date all
flows contained. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings, simple
extrapolation beyond. | Monthly naturalised flows available. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5)
and September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Upland catchment developed mainly
on Silurian shale; approx half superficial deposit cover. Hill grazing is the
principal land use; some forest. Megget Reservoir (1982). | Storage
reservoirs: St. Mary's Loch and Megget, both used for public water supplies.
Close to confluence and so backing up from the River Tweed must be influential
at extreme highs. |

Velocity area station on the River Teviot in the east Southern Uplands of
Scotland. | Velocity area station; about 30m wide natural section. |
The primary control is a gravel shoal (~100m) below the station that is
prone to adjustment during floods. A ford 200m downstream and a mill weir 650m
downstream may be an influence on the stage discharge control at higher flows.
Bypassing can occur on left bank at levels above about 2m, although this is
thought to account for less the 10% of flows during extreme events. Frequent
re-rating due to weed growth, but only two ratings are required across the
period of record for peak flows. Gauged up to QMED with simple extrapolation
beyond. | October 2005 event was exceptional. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Natural upland catchment. Bedrock
mostly Silurian shale; predominantly overlain by superficial deposits. Hill
grazing is the dominant land use but forestry is important in the headwaters
(Craik Forest). Hawick is the only significant settlement. No significant
catchment changes known. | Natural regime. |

Velocity area station on the Gala Water draining from the Moorfoot
Hills. | Velocity area station, about 15m wide. | Concrete-lined
reach in industrial part of Galashiels. Gravel bed with control formed by
concrete haunching over sewage pipe. Control was repaired and heightened by
120mm on 01/08/68, hence the rating change on this date. The station reach is
straight with well defined banks. The channel cross section at the footbridge is
slightly narrowed and this will likely be the primary control during large
events. There is some confidence in extrapolating flows up to bank full at 2.5m
considering the channel is well defined and the highest gauging is at 1.862m
(measured flow of 83.7 cumecs). The dervied flow at 2.5m using rating QHigh1968
is 144.54 cumecs. Only the AMAX1 in 1984 was higher than bankfull, but only
marginally and floodplain flow would have been negligible. The 1982 flood would
have hit the footbridge and this may have impeded the flow. There is also the
possibility that woody debris was trapped on the bridge during the event. The
station hut, well and ramp gauge was completely rebuilt in 2016 following works
to reinstate the Waverly Railway line. The control (concrete haunching over
pipe) was compromised by bank erosion on the left hand side and this was
repaired in 2016. As of October 2017, the control is in a bad state with
concrete apron breaking up and water starting to undermine it. The upper limits
of post 2015 ratings reflect this lower confidence and Peak Flow data currently
is excluded from this time until the rating calibration is improved. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7) and September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). Peak flows removed
after 01/10/2015 due to erosion around side of weir. | Natural upland
catchment draining from the Moorfoot Hills. Bedrock mainly impervious
(Silurian); some overlain by superficial deposits. Land use is hill grazing with
some forest and arable areas. No significant catchment changes known. Notable

A velocity-area station in the upper Tweed catchment. | Located on the
upper River Tweed, roughly 2.5 miles downstream of Tweedsmuir village. One of
the key functions is flood warning for downstream communities. Natural section
with a coarse gravel bed. Work in 2022 to rationalise the rating history allowed
this station to be considered for inclusion in the Peak Flow dataset. Station
added to peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | The
channel is composed of coarse gravel which is highly mobile, even under modest
flows, while the inflow from the Kingledores Burn 10m downstream of the station
can cause backwater effects and also scour/deposit large amounts of material
from the control. The rating is calibrated with gaugings up to 2.225m, measured
at 101.8 cumecs. Higher events spill into the floodplain. Although most of the
flow range is contained in the channel, the station has been assigned an
indicative suitability of QMED only, at least until the transition stage between
channel and floodplain flow is known. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | Monthly naturalised flows available. | Impervious (mostly
Silurian formations) upland catchment given over mainly to hill grazing and
forestry. | Exports from Fruid and Talla Reservoirs cause a significant
reduction in runoff. Freshnet releases from Fruid and Talla Reservoirs cause
significant spikes in runoff. |

Velocity area station on the River Leader in the Scottish Borders. |
Velocity area station about 30m wide. | This is an open channel
station from 1984 at least. There are remnants of an old mill weir (for Rhymers
Mill) on the river bank about half a mile downstream and it is likely the weir
was intact up to 1984, where the stage plot indicates a major change in bed
levels starting from the large flood on 03/11/1984. A period of channel
adjustment is apparent for a few years after 1984 and its hypothesised that the
1984 flood knocked the weir out. The right bank is much lower in than the left
bank and flood water stretches beyond the cableway on the wooded right bank. A
cableway allows gauging at higher flows, although the highest gaugings up to
1.8m were carried out before 1984 and so these are not valid for rating
calibration after 1984. Since then, the highest gauging is at 1.470m, measured
at 57.001 cumecs. Hence the post 1984 flood estimations, of peaks reaching
2.53m, are based on simple extrapolation and of low confidence. The low flow
section control is a gravel bar that is fairly insensitive and not conducive to
accurate low flow estimation. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Upland
catchment draining from the Lammermuir Hills. Bedrock Silurian shale and ORS;
some superficial deposit cover. Land use hill grazing with arable farming at
lower levels; some forest. No significant catchment changes. | Natural

Velocity area station, lowest on the Eye Water. | Velocity area
station, about 22m wide. | Round-top, flat-V concrete weir acts as an
informal low flow control that drowns out quickly. Floods have deposited gravel
in the station section, from around 2012, raising the bed and reducing the
influence of the weir. The construction date of the weir has to be confirmed and
may relate to one of the shifts in the flood rating archive. Steep high banks on
both sides. 600m u/s from Eyemouth harbour; high spring tides can reach
site. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in

A velocity-area station upstream of the confluence with the River
Tweed. | Velocity area station. | Flow fully concentrated by arches
of bridge below station. | Monthly naturalised flows available. |
Upland catchment. Mainly Silurian shale with Old Red Sandstone and
considerable superficial deposits of sand and gravel in centre of catchment.
Mostly hill grazing and grassland; forest. | Storage in - and abstraction
from - Baddingsgill and West Water Reservoirs influence the flow regime; overall
impact on annual runoff is limited. |

Velocity area station on Manor Water. Water surface can freeze in
winter. | Velocity area station (section ~10m wide). | Artificial
control consisting of a flat concrete bar with stone pitched banks. The historic
rating record suggests the weir was constructed on 30/06/69. If the station
operated before this date, its assumed it was as a natural open channel control.
The site is situated at end of straight reach with a bend just below a bar.
Water surface can freeze in winter necessitating ice corrections. Bypassing
occurs at higher flows on the lb. Peak flow rating derived from current meter
gaugings up to 1.1m (about 0.8 QMED), with a simple extrapolation beyond. Since
the 90s the site has only been gauged up to 0.6m/10cumecs. The channel suffers
from bank erosion and upstream erosion is thought to have increased the amount
of bypassing during large events. The increased channel instability was likely
triggered by the large flood of 30/12/15, known as Storm Frank. The weir has
also become badly eroded. Considering the bank/weir erosion and the lack of high
gaugings, there is little confidence in flows above QMED. | Monthly
naturalised flows available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). No Peak Flow data after December
2015 following damage to station. No Daily Flow Data after September 2019 due to
ongoing degradation of the weir. | Steep upland catchment developed on
Silurian shale, some of which is overlain by superficial deposits. Land use
mostly hill grazing; some forest. No significant catchment changes known. |
Runoff is slightly diminished by an u/s abstraction (Langhaugh Intake). Very
responsive catchment. |

Velocity area station, from 1982 flows are highly artificial with Megget
Reservoir used for public water supplies and operated in conjunction with St
Mary's Loch. | Velocity area station d/s of road bridge on approx. 20m
wide section with rough gravel bed. | Natural open channel gravel control.
Asymmetrical flow due to upstream bend. Stage correction due to ice has been a
feature at the station. Gravel extraction is mentioned in the station notes.
Damming of St. Mary loch outlet in August 1976 resulted in very low flows in
this period. Flows largely contained in channel. Peak flow ratings derived from
current meter gaugings up to 1.598m, with a measured flow of 72.9 cumecs. Beyond
this, flows are based on simple extrapolation. Extensive channel change and site
deterioration occurred following the large flood on 30/12/2015 and subsequent
upstream channel and bank stabilisation works. From this point the station has
been operated as level only with no check gaugings. Calculated flows after
30/12/2015 are based on the pre 2015 ratings and hence are all flagged as
suspect/unchecked. The upper rating segment/relationship will be relatively less
impacted by the 2015 channel changes and data users may find these unchecked
flood estimates of some value, although to be used with caution. Post 2015 flows
are marked as rejected in NRFA Peak Flows to reflect this uncertainty. |
Low flow in August 1976 due to damming of gravel bar prior to gravel
extraction. Monthly naturalised flows available. Gauging suspended in 2015 due
to altered flow causing cableway failure and gravel build-up at station. Peak
flows after 30/12/2015 are rejected (see hydrometric description). Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Upland catchment. Impervious bedrock (Silurian formations) with
half superficial deposits. Land use hill grazing with some forestry. Megget
Reservoir (1982). | St Marys Loch (few km upstream) attenuates floods
significantly. Natural regime until 1982. From 1982 flows are highly artificial
with Megget Reservoir used for public water supplies and operated in conjunction

Velocity area station, on the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders. |
Velocity area station. Wide section (about 100m) on gentle bend in river.
New cableway (2003) can gauge flows up to 4.35m stage. | The station is
affected by seasonal weed growth effects and seasonal ratings have been adopted
for low flows. There are remnants of an old mill weir 200m downstream as well as
a more prominent mill weir 2km downstream. Both of these weirs will influence
the station control at medium to high flows at least, but likely drown out
during larger floods. Flows are largely contained or are at least within the
range of the cableway reach. The peak flow rating is derived from gaugings up to
4.015m. The 4.015m gauging was on 20/11/2009 and had a measured flow of 1059
cumecs. | Monthly naturalised flows available. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A
mix of upland and lowland. The bedrock geology is dominated by impervious
Silurian formations (with some deposits). Hill grazing predominates with
improved grassland and arable farming in the lower catchment; some forest in
headwaters. Some reservoirs in the headwaters were established during the period
of record (Fruid Reservoir 1968, Megget Reservoir 1982). | Public water
supply reservoirs in headwaters have a minor impact on the flow regime. |

Velocity area station. Flows are largely natural and uncontrolled. |
Velocity area station on straight reach, about 16m wide. This station
replaces one 0.5km downstream, installed in 1959, with rather poor and variable
daily level readings. | Natural channel control. The low flow control is a
rock ledge and then at higher flows the control transitions to a downstream
channel bar. The peak flow ratings are derived by current meter gaugings up to
2.577mm, measured at 69.6 cumecs (about 1.1 QMED). Higher flood estimates are
based on simple extrapolation above the highest gauging, which provides some
confidence in flows estimates up to bank full around 3m. Above 3m, the flow
breaks out on the left bank into the industrial park. The peak flow rating
QHigh1972 is applied throughout the record, with the exception of a two-year
period between 27/01/2016 and 24/01/2018, when a bank collapsed downstream at a
location where the river cuts into a steep bluff. Subsequent high flows
eventually washed out the debris and the channel control returned to the pre
slip state by 24/01/2018. The channel control is thought to have recovered in
steps when flows were high enough to erode material from the landslip. The
initial state after the slip from 27/01/2016 is represented by rating 17, which
is based on gauging up to 1.671m/23.3 cumecs measured. Gauging evidence shows
that the higher flow on 22/11/2016 caused sufficient erosion to produce a clear
control shift and hence rating 18 was developed using available gaugings up to
1.478m/18.998 cumecs measured. A transition calculation has been used around
ratings 17 and 18 to represent the ongoing erosion of material during several
smaller peaks until the flood of 23/01/2018, where a flood gauging indicates the
river control had returned to the pre-slip state. Higher ranking events are
around 1m above the highest gauging and 0.5m above bankfull. Considering the
high flow estimates are based in simple extrapolation, this station is
tentatively assigned pooling status with the knowledge that the banks are well
defined and uniform up to bankfull. Additionally, the out-of-bank spill out is
largely ponding rather than flow. Some user discretion on suitability is
recommended. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
An upland, mainly Old Red Sandstone catchment (approx. 2/3 overlain by

Velocity area station on the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders. |
The station was originally operated by Lothian Regional Council (Department
of Water and Drainage) who produced the early record from January 1964 to
October 1977. SEPA took ownership and reopened the station on 10/10/2008. The
station contributes to SEPAs flood warning service and has good potential for
feeding into flow modelling and Peak Flow estimation methods. SEPAs calibration
at the station is ongoing and it is hoped that flow records from 2008 can be
supplied to the NRFA in the near future. | The control is a simple flat
concrete broad crest bar with stone pitching on the flanks. Gravel had built up
on the u/s side. Floods are believed to be contained. According to the original
notes held in the NRFA, the early record up to 1977 is derived from current
meter gaugings at low flows, simple extrapolation beyond. SEPA do not hold any
of the gaugings or calibration records from this early period and so from 2008
SEPA has calibrated the station from scratch. | | Impermeable
bedrock. Mainly hill grazing. No significant catchment changes known. |

Velocity area station downstream of Etal Mill. Closed in 1980. Replaced with
downstream station 21035. | Open-channel velocity-area station 300yds d/s
from Etal Mill, on a large, incised meander. Closed 1980, but level-only site
opened u/s on the weir at NT9250939562 in July 1999. Heaton Mill (21806) opened
just d/s in 2001 as full-range flow station. | Had cableway while open.
Low flow control was a pipe d/s. Bypassing prevented by a low artificial bank
running from hut to high ground at the side of the valley; some ponding near the
gauge hut, beginning at 1.5m. One rating applied across peak flow period of
record. Rated to 200 cumecs by current meter. Calibration reflects changes in
channel cross-section at high stages. | | Three main tributaries,
Breamish, Wooler Water and Glen, rise on the Cheviot Massif but with differing
channel length and flood travel time. A catchment with mixed geology (Cheviot
andesites and granite, sandstone etc). No large groundwater sources. Upland
vegetation of moorland and rough pasture and lowland arable and improved
pasture. No known catchment changes over time. | Bell-shaped hydrograph.
Small borehole abstractions from sandstone. |

Informal flat-V weir and velocity-area station draining The Cheviot. Station
closed September 2010. | Informal flat-V weir and velocity-area station
beyond (1:2 and 1:5 slopes and about 1:100 cross-slope, insensitive). V is
lop-sided as left wing wall was moved inwards after flood damage. The weir crest
was eroded in the past. Station closed in September 2010 following repeated
breaches of bank. Equipment removed in September 2010 and the weir was
completely removed in September 2015. | Banks are double terraced, with
first step at 1.6m, second at 2.6m. A flood bank on the right bank protects the
floodplain, but at high flows there was significant bypassing of the cableway
(starting at 1.6m), leading to considerable uncertainty, true peaks not
recorded. Flood bank breached upstream in September 2008. The bank was repaired
in November 2008 but breached again in July 2009. Partially repaired by plugging
the gap with gravel, but again breached in September 2009. Station rated by
current meter gauging up to bankfull (1.6m). Multiple peak flow ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent was developed by consultants as part of
the Kirknewton flood mapping study and is valid from September 2008 to the end
of the record. Flood Studies Report grade A for structure, but C due to chart
record. | Flat-top hydrographs before September 1966 due to silting of
inlet pipe. Logger installed in 1991 (very limited data 1983-1990 but charts
available). Caution needed in interpreting suspect 1994 minima. Flows from 1989
reprocessed in 2002: low flows increased, some peak flows decreased. Peak flows
in WY1983/1984 and WY1996/1997 rejected due to missing data. WY2007/2008 peak
flows rejected because September 2008 flood caused breach in flood banks,
resulting in missing flows until late October 2008. Subsequent peak flow data
rejected as three breaches in upstream floodbank between September 2008 and
station closure in September 2010. Breach was repaired twice but some of the
flow was bypassing the weir from July 2009 to the end of the record. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Upland catchment, draining from The Cheviot with a natural flow
regime. Developed mostly on impermeable igneous formations, around a third of
the catchment is overlain by superficial deposits. Around half the catchment is
grassland, with mountain/heath in upper reaches and arable in lower lying
areas. | Natural flow regime, very limited abstraction. |

Large trapezoidal flume. Flows affected by Megget Reservoir and St Mary's
Loch. | Large trapezoidal flume. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Regular cleaning of structure needed
due to algal growth. All flows contained. Originally theoretical rating.
Re-rated using a physical model by Edinburgh University (1972). Confirmed with
low gaugings up to 0.5m (about 0.1Q MED). | Low flows in Aug 1976 due to
temporary damming of St Mary's Loch outlet. Monthly naturalised flows
available. | Silurian formations give impervious catchment supporting hill
grazing and some forestry. Over half covered with superficial deposits. Megget
Reservoir 1982. | Sensibly natural runoff until impounding for Megget Res.
began in 1982. St Mary's Loch 2km u/s attenuates floods significantly. |

Ultrasonic station opened as a replacement for 21031. | Five (crossed)
path ultrasonic gauge in a trapezoidal channel, designed to measure full range
of flows. River is deep and slow-flowing at Heaton Mill. Previously station
number 21806. | Well performing crossed-path multi-path ultrasonic gauge.
Pre 2009 peaks were not recorded accurately above 150 cumecs due to range cap in
the gauge configuration. A peak flow rating derived from ultrasonic measurements
and confirmed by check gaugings is available. | Ultrasonic gauge missed
peak flows in Sep 2008, July 2009 and March 2010 due to limitation set in gauge
configuration, these peaks are estimated from the rating. All missing data
periods in daily flows are due to ultrasonic configuration issues. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Rising on the Cheviot granite. Mixed geology (Cheviot igneous rock,
sandstone etc). No known catchment changes. | Considerable spray
irrigation abstractions during the summer, but unlikely to affect high
flows. |

Velocity area station with informal flat V weir. | Velocity area
station, originally open channel with some control exerted from a ford 900m
downstream, then a 34m wide concrete informal flat-V weir (approx. 1:20
cross-slope) was built in 1975/76. A temporary station was established 200yards
d/s during weir construction, to maintain continuity of records. Inlet pipe and
instrument building both replaced in 2006. The station replaced an earlier
station at Guyzance, 3 miles u/s. | Fairly straight section with high
banks, although may be some limited bypass at high flows. Non-modular at even
moderate levels. Station has suffered from inlet pipe lag and previously had a
gravel trap in inlet pipe. New inlet pipe installed in 2006, no gravel trap. Two
peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from
1976 and based upon an earlier version of rating C but with an additional upper
limb informed by hydraulic modelling. Good fit to gaugings. Flood Studies Report
grade A1. | Data missing 18/02/2006 - 14/06/2006 due to station rebuild.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). Possibly suspect flows 19/11/2019 - 2/03/2020. Data
reprocessing from 04/01/1982 in 2022. | Predominantly upland catchment
draining from Cheviots. Largely Carboniferous Limestone and low permeability
Devonian Igneous series, two thirds of the catchment is overlain by superficial
deposits. Half the catchment is grassland, some upland afforestation and arable
in low-lying areas. Progressive afforestation and associated drainage on upland
Cheviot tributary valleys. | Responsive natural regime. In the past annual
flush and drain of dam u/s of gauge on Duke of Northumberland estate has
affected the flow regime. Some abstractions. |

A standing wave flume with broad-crested side weirs. Site closed in 1980 but
was re-opened temporarily as a flood warning site between April 2000 and March
2005. | A standing wave flume with broad-crested side weirs separated from
the flume by substantial divide walls, flared at the u/s ends; overall width
8.8m. Beneath a road bridge with soffit at 2.2m. River valley is narrow and
steep-sided at this point, with rocky bed. Site closed in 1980, reopened in
April 2000 as level-only flood warning site and closed again in March 2005.
Closed from peak flows dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | A
gravel accumulation problem (notably severe in 1977) was partly alleviated by
installation of a gabion gravel trap u/s in 1952, cleaned biannually. However,
accumulation continued, and the trap collapsed in 2000. Side weirs drown at high
flows. No bypassing. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record,
the most recent is valid from April-1979 after gravel shoal developed until site
closure. Flood Studies Report grade C due to uncertainty in rating. |
Excessive gravel accumulation caused breaks in the early record but
installation of a gravel trap in 1952 contributed to increased reliability;
almost a continuous record 1957-1980 (when station decommissioned). Data from
1947-1966 from flow recorder with limit of 26.3 cumecs, therefore no floods
recorded. | A very responsive catchment with small floodplains all the way
up the catchment accommodating some over-bank storage. River flows in a steep
Cheviot valley mantled by glacial material. Coquet river is a designated Site of
Special Scientific Interest. No known catchment changes. | Hydrographs are
sharp with multiple peaks. No known artificial influences. |

Thin-plate weir discontinued in 1980 but recommissioned as level-only
station in 1995 for flood warning and reinstated as flow gauge in 1999. |
Thin-plate weir with 6.2m wide centre crest and two flanking broad crests of
differing widths (0.85m right bank, 2.2m left bank). Discontinued in 1980 and
weir plates removed. Recommissioned as a level-only station in 1995 for flood
warning using concrete broadcrested weir with notch. Weir plates reinstated in
September 1999. Good d/s drop over the weir prevents drowning. | No
bypassing. No cableway, gaugings only possible at low flows. Two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record for pre-1995 and then post-1999
following reinstatement. Based on theoretical rating of thin plate weir with
check current meter measurements at wading level. Rating updated in 2008 and
applied back to 1999 when weir plates reinstated. Flood Studies Report grade D
pre-1966, A1 post-1966. | Gaps in the record occur due to inaccessibility
in winter and incomplete flow measurement at very high flows. Peak flows are
rejected since the site re-opened and weir plates installed in 1999 as the top
end of the rating is not yet reliable. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Small upland
moorland catchment draining from The Cheviot. Rough grass and heather, peaty
sub-soil and mainly igneous bed-rock. Substantial recent afforestation. |
No known artificial influences. |

Velocity area station with cableway with a gabion basket weir added as a low
flow control. Site closed 1980. | Velocity area station with cableway,
then informal gabion basket weir (low flow control) after 1972; high flow
control was possibly at d/s bridge. Unstable gravel section, and weeds
problematic in summer. Station closed in 1980. | No bypassing at high
flows. Chart limit sometimes caused peak truncation. Multiple peak flow ratings
applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from April 1972.
Changes to informal gabion control affected low flows only, top rating limb
remains constant throughout record. Flood Studies Report grade B. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | A predominantly lowland catchment, mixed permeability
geology. Underlain with Devonian igneous rocks on the western margin of the
catchment, Cementstone and Fell sandstone in the middle of the catchment and
Middle Limestone series in lower reaches. Extensive cover of Boulder Clay. Rural
pasture with some arable and woodland. No known catchment changes. | In
spite of the predominantly lowland catchment produces sharp hydrographs. Some

Velocity area station with flat V weir. Weir modified to prevent
sedimentation in 1978. | Velocity area station, with flat V weir (24.3m
wide) for low flow control installed in 1968. Distance between wing walls was
reduced to 20.0m in November 1978 to prevent sedimentation, and walls raised
from 1.0m to 1.5m. Located on a straight section with stony bed, just u/s of a
rock rapid. Two downstream pre-barrages constructed in 2014 to improve fish
passage over the structure, eel tiles added at the same time. | Three
ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from November
1978 when weir modifications necessitated a rating change. Flood Studies Report
grade A1. No change required following fish passage improvements. | No
bypassing except in flood events of December 1978 and March 1979, although
over-topped at high flows. Flows 19/09/2014-06/10/2014 affected by fish pass
installation. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Mostly low-lying,
moderate-permeability catchment (Millstone Grit and Coal Measures), with around
four fifths of the catchment covered by boulder clay. Mixed arable and
grassland. No known catchment changes. | Small net export of water as the
majority of runoff from headwaters of River Pont (approx 25.8 sqkm) is diverted

Velocity area station with flat V weir and flume. Record combines data for
22005 and 22007. | Velocity area station. Flat V weir and central flume
for low flow measurement (3m wide, overall width 18m) installed 1974, replacing
older broad-crested weir also with central flume (located above Tynemouth
Corporation intake). Cableway. Just below the station, the channel is confined
in deep, steep-sided valley at bend in river. The data series for this station
(22007) combines records from Highford (22005) from February 1963, replaced by
Mitford from November 1966. In the early period, medium and high flows were
measured 0.5 miles d/s at Highford Dam. This had an autographic recorder from
February 1963-September 1968, replaced by a punched tape recorder until October
1975. The station was never properly calibrated by gauging, but flows were
derived by correlation with Mitford. | Cableway allows for high flow
gauging, but wading behind the hut is also necessary at highest levels. Multiple
peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from
December 1975 post weir modifications. Ratings in good agreement with respective
gaugings. Recalibration of peak flow rating produced substantial reduction in
flood flows. Flood Studies Rating grade A1. | Data 17/09/2014-07/10/2014
affected by fish pass installation and eel pass repairs. No AMAX rejected as a
result of flood storage dam, but some impact on Jan 2016 event, see event
comment. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A mainly lowland catchment located on moderately
permeable Millstone Grit and Upper, Middle and Lower Limestones with extensive
boulder clay cover. Around half the catchment is grassland, mixed arable and
woodland. No known catchment changes. | Font Reservoir impounds 30.3 sq.km
of upper catchment on River Font tributary and affects flood flows through
drawdown and attenuation. Modest net effect of export from headwater reservoir.
Completion of Mitford flood storage dam in April 2015, impounding ~60% of the
upstream catchment. This reduces downstream flow in large events, beginning to
impact at around 1:25 year return period, with increasingly significant impact
on more extreme events. Outflow from the dam is constrained at 150m3/s. The
catchment produces sharp hydrographs, but shows a bigger lag than is typical for
the area. Northumbrian Water's PWS abstraction at Mitford (just d/s of gauging
station) closed by the mid-1990s. |

Velocity area station with informal mill weir d/s providing good control at
most flows. | Velocity area station with cableway; informal mill weir
below station provides good control which should hold for most flows. The timber
weir crest was replaced with concrete during modification for calibration in
1972. Well-confined section between steep banks, with a straight approach. |
One peak flow rating applied across period of record. Good fit to gaugings,
gauged close to AMAX2. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Natural, upland catchment
draining the Cheviot hills and the Northumbrian fells. Low permeability
(Igneous, Cementstone and Fell Sandstone) geology. Almost half of the catchment
overlain by superficial deposits, including peat in uplands and Boulder Clay and
alluvium in the lower valley. Land use is mainly upland pasture with grazing for
cattle and sheep, with isolated areas of upland heath and woodland and arable in
lowlands. Significant areas of overbank storage on floodplain that attenuate
hydrographs. No known catchment changes. | Some small groundwater

Principal gauging station on the Tyne - a velocity area station. Flow regime
influenced by releases from Kielder. | Principal gauging station on the
Tyne. Velocity area station with cableway on a wide reach. Blockage/damage to
stilling pipe caused problems in early 1990s. Removal of gravel from d/s river
bed between 1961 and 1963 affected water levels, leading to replacement of
stilling well at lower level; high flows relatively unaffected. | Before
1961 and after 1964 station considered good for high flow measurement. Ratings
have changed over the record owing to alterations in control and bed levels
resulting from gravel extraction. Three peak flow ratings for the period of
record. Ratings fit well to corresponding gaugings. Flood Studies Report grade
A1 before and after 1962-65, B during. | As a result of re-rating after
gravel extraction the October 1967 flood is now thought to have been lower than
the January 2005 peak of 1370 cumecs. Rating C applied in September 2013
resulted in reduced flows (from 1992 onwards), especially at low levels. Rating
D applied following December 2015 event, same as previous rating but modifies
and extends the top limb above 1130 cumecs. Gauged to very high level, including
floodplain flow estimate, in December 2015 event and confirmed by hydraulic
model. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October
2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | A large, impervious catchment (largely
Carboniferous Limestone) with extensive superficial deposits (peat, boulder
clay, alluvium) draining from north Pennines. Includes Kielder Reservoir which
controls 241 sq.km of the catchment (impounded 1982). Around half of the
catchment is grassland, with extensive moorland arable farming confined to the
lower valley. There has been significant afforestation in the catchment since
1926. | Some export of water, and regime influenced by pulsed hydropower
releases from Kielder, but limited impact on annual runoff. In drought years,
Kielder releases maintenance low flows (4.2 cumecs min.) and support transfers
to the Derwent, Wear and Tees which are abstracted at Riding Mill 500m u/s. |

width 15m, central flume 1.8m, no dividing walls. Low flow crest at 180.935
mAOD, broad crests are 0.75m higher. Model calibration. From 1965 flows
controlled by Derwent Reservoir 2km upstream, stark contrast with previous
natural regime. A good control, situated in a well-defined, straight channel;
flat agricultural land on one side, steep wooded slope on the other. | All
flows contained within structure. Only gauged at lower flows below 10 cumecs.
Original peak flow rating by flume formula, refined with physical model test and
applied throughout record. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files

of Derwent reservoir early 1960s. Geology is a mixture of Carboniferous
Limestone and Millstone Grit partially overlain by Boulder Clay in lower valley
and peat in headwaters. | Data is heavily influenced by Derwent reservoir
(impounded 1965) and therefore peak flows are marked as rejected. Substantial
net export of water. Burnhope Burn enters the Derwent downstream of the

Velocity area station, replaced 23015. Flow regime influenced by Kielder
reservoir. | Velocity area station (63m wide at bank full) with natural
channel control on a straight, stable reach with a stony bed. Replaced earlier
station at Barrasford (23015) which was unreliable. | Velocity area
station with natural channel control, some out of bank flow in very big events
but no by-passing. Subject to regulation from Kielder reservoir since 1980.
Ratings fitted to current meter gaugings at on site cableway, gauged to within
30% of AMAX1, some spread in gaugings but generally good fit and extrapolation
is reasonable. Flood Studies Report grade A1. Three ratings applied over period
of record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | A very responsive upland catchment.
Developed mainly on formations of the Carboniferous series (Fell Sandstone,
Scremerston Group and Lower Limestone), around half of the catchment is overlain
by Boulder Clay and peat in the headwaters. A predominantly natural regime until
construction of Kielder reservoir (impounded 1982) which controls 24% of top of
North Tyne catchment. Land use is rugged moorland and upland pasture, with
significant afforestation in the west of the catchment since 1926. Pre-reservoir
FARL is 0.991 and should be used with the pre-reservoir part of the records.
Post-reservoir FARL is 0.936. | Kielder Reservoir impounds approximately
24 per cent of the catchment to Reaverhill, flow regime is impacted by
regulation releases to support downstream abstractions in dry weather and by
regular releases of between 3 and 16 cumecs for hydropower generation.
Hydropower releases have little influence on high flows, however reservoir does
have a significant impact on flood flows due to drawdown and attenuation.
Catcleugh Reservoir also in the catchment, impounds 40 km2 in the headwaters of
the Rede catchment with some net export of water from here to support Colt Crag
and Hallington reservoirs. |

Velocity area station with informal flat V weir draining the Northern
Pennines. | Velocity area station, with informal flat V weir as low flow
control installed in 1972 - earlier low flows of limited accuracy. Section has
coarse gravel, shingle and small boulder bed. Has cableway. Instrument hut
washed away 2001 due to blockage of adjacent beck; rebuilt on same site in
2002. | Some overtopping onto both banks at very high flows, but no
bypassing. Current meter gaugings to QMED. Two peak flow ratings applied to
period of record, the most recent is valid from January 2002 when the weir was
rebuilt - affected low flows only. Flood Studies Report graded A1. | Low
flows prior to low flow control installation in 1972 of limited accuracy. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7). | Upland catchment draining Northern Pennines. Geology:
predominantly Carboniferous (limestones and Millstone Grit) with around two
thirds of the catchment overlain by superficial deposits (upland peat and
Boulder Clay). Predominantly grassland and some upland heath. No known catchment
changes. | Responsive natural regime. No known artificial influences. |

Velocity area station. Closed in 1987 and replaced by 23022. |
Velocity area station with informal flat V low flow control and cableway in
straight, stable reach 35m wide. Superceded by Ugly Dub (23022) in 1983 (daily
flows only) and station closed 1987, although chart maintained until December
1993. | Velocity area station with informal flat V low flow control (1:2
upstream and downstream slopes, 1:50 cross-slopes) installed in 1973. Left bank
occasionally overtopped, right bank is higher. Kielder Reservoir built upstream,
major influence on flows from 1981 with regulation for hydropower and downstream
river support and attenuation of flood flows. Three ratings applied over period
of record, established by current meter gauging and applied to periods before,
during and after construction of weir. Gauged beyond QMED and within 20% of
AMAX3. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | Data since impoundment of Kielder
Reservoir has been excluded from the Peak Flow dataset. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10) and in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Upland catchment developed mainly on
Carboniferous Limestone, Scremerston and Fell Sandstone (thick Boulder Clay in
the valleys). Moorland headwaters, significant afforestation below since 1926.
Land use is two thirds forest, the rest scrub, moorland and rough grazing.
Pre-reservoir FARL is 1.0 and should be used with the pre-reservoir part of the
records. Post-reservoir FARL is 0.815. | Natural flow regime until the
construction of Kielder Reservoir (impounded 1982) which controls 80% of the
catchment; very artificial regime from 1981. Hydrographs are well peaked. |

Compound Crump weir with high wingwalls, remains modular and all flows
contained. | Compound Crump weir in 45m wide channel, built 1966. |
Compound Crump profile weir (1:2 and 1:5 slopes) with low crest 15.2m wide
and high crest 0.3m higher and 29.5m wide. High wingwalls and divide pier
contain all flows, weir is u/s of natural rock outcrop and thought to remain
modular throughout range. D/s pool level raised to improve fish passage in May
1971, weir is prone to gravel accumulation, removed intermittently. Theoretical
rating applied to daily and peak flow period of record, temporary cableway in
early 1970s allowed high flow check gaugings close to QMED. Cast iron crest
units have deteriorated over time. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Linear, north
trending catchment in northern Pennines. Geology: mainly Carboniferous
Limestone, around two thirds of the catchment is overlain by superficial
deposits of peat and Boulder Clay. Land use is predominantly grassland and
upland heath. No known catchment changes. | Generally natural flow regime
but operation of hydropower scheme at Nenthead can affect hydrograph at low
levels. |

Two Crump weirs beneath a bridge. Regime heavily influenced by Derwent
reservoir which impounds 110km2 of the upper catchment. | Two Crump
profile weirs with slightly different crest levels beneath the two arches of a
bridge and separated by the central pier of the bridge. Bypassing is prevented
by the bridge and its embankments. Bridge inverts repaired in summer 2003.
Persistent gravel accretion problem. | Persistent blockage of the long
inlet pipe in the 1980s, also lag problem. One peak flow rating applied to
period of record. Calibrated by physical model but lack of cableway meant rating
not checked above moderate flows. Recent higher gaugings (>0.66m, 2019-2020)
taken from bridge upstream suggest that current rating may be overestimating
flows. Flood Studies Report grade C. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Predominantly upland catchment on moderately permeable carboniferous
formations (Carboniferous Limestone in the upper catchment and Millstone Grit
and Coal Measures elsewhere), with around half of the catchment overlain by
superficial deposits of peat and Boulder Clay. Derwent Reservoir began
impounding in 1965, two years into record. Mixed land use - under a half is
grassland, with heath uplands; arable and urban development in lower
reaches. | Flow regime is substantially influenced by Derwent Reservoir,
which began impounding in 1965. Flashy response to rainfall prior to reservoir
construction. Significant net export of water. |

Flat-V weir in an upland catchment. Catcleugh Reservoir has an appreciable
influence on the flow regime. | Flat-V weir constructed with
pre-fabricated crest units (24.3m wide). Flood plain storage u/s of the station
may affect magnitude of high flows. A bridge d/s may act as a control at high
levels. | Lag on inlet pipe possibly affected high flow measurements,
inlet pipe replaced August-September 2003. One rating based on current meter
gaugings applied to period of record and was developed in April 2010. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). | Upland catchment on moderately permeable
Carboniferous formations, mostly covered by Boulder Clay, alluvium and upland
peat. The area is faulted and has a few dykes. Two thirds of the catchment is
grassland with upland heath. Land use mainly forestry and grazing. Progressive
afforestation during period of record. | Catcleugh reservoir (controls 40
km2 (11.6%) of the catchment) has an appreciable influence on flows, with a

Velocity area station with informal flat V weir in a Pennine catchment with
a responsive, natural regime. | Velocity area station with informal flat V
control, subject to periodic boulder damage and undergone several
reconstructions. All flow contained. Maintained as chart only for period
1983-1992. Cableway removed in 1980. | Velocity area station, originally
open channel section, an informal flat V control built April 1971 and rebuilt
Autumn 1978 following boulder damage. Weir repaired again in 2001. Multi-path
ultrasonic gauge installed 1999 to support rating development, ultrasonic can be
unreliable at high flows and was deactivated in November 2021. Several ratings
applied to daily flow data throughout 1970s, based on current meter gaugings.
Two ratings applied to peak flows, latest is from November 1984. Significant
extrapolation above highest check gauging but rating supported by ultrasonic
data and appears stable. | Weir is prone to damage from boulders during
high flows, leading to frequent repairs and changes of rating during 1970s and
80s. Period of unreliable data 1983-1992, chart maintained through this period
but levels not digitised or processed for flow. Rating reviewed in 2019 and
records reprocessed from 1992. Rating reviewed in 2022 and records reprocessed
from 2018. Water year 1991/1992 peak flows rejected as partial water year missed
AMAX due to missing data. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Steep Pennine moorland
catchment developed on Middle and Upper Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone
Grit. Land use is predominantly rough grazing. No known catchment changes. |

Flat-V weir with a cableway. Catchment heavily afforested since 1926. |
Flat-V weir 12m wide with low wing walls (0.61m high). Repair to weir in
1992 - weir walls thought to have been narrower prior to this. Cableway u/s
(straight reach). | Two ratings applied to the period of record, before
and after weir repair in 1993. Accounts for overtopping at high stages. Daily
flow rating based on gaugings. | First rating applied over-estimated flows
(to 1993). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October
2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Upland catchment on mainly Carboniferous
formations, cut by numerous faults and dykes; half of the upland catchment is
overlain by peat, and Boulder Clay and alluvium in the valley. Land use: two
thirds upland heath, one third woodland, incorporating Kielderhead Moor and
Kielder forest. Land use is predominantly forestry, with rough grazing at higher
levels. Afforestation since 1926. | No known artificial influences. |

Velocity area station with cableway. Station closed 1983 though charts
available to June 1988. | Velocity area station with cableway. Initially
there was a boulder bed control with reasonable stability, but gradual removal
of boulders exposed a friable shale bed which then suffered rapid degradation so
the inlet pipe became exposed above the water surface - last five gaugings taken
when water below inlet pipe. Closed in 1983. | Multiple peak flow ratings
applied to period of record, the most recent is valid from February 1981.
Periodic changes in the natural control have necessitated changes in
ratings. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Upland catchment, comprising a series
of shales, sandstones and limestones of Carboniferous age with some Millstone
Grit. Boulder Clay cover in valley and extensive peat cover in headwaters. Land
use is predominantly rough grazing. No known catchment changes. | No known

Velocity area station with flume at lower flows. Catcleugh, Colt Crag and
Little Swinburne reservoirs influence flow regime. Station closed 1959. |
Flume to measure flows between 3.2cumecs and 6.8cumecs, and velocity area
station for flows above 6.8 cumecs, in channel approximately 55m wide. The
station was originally intended for assessment of flows at the Barrasford
abstraction and not for flood flows. Station closed in 1959, replaced by
Reaverhill (23003) approximately 2 km upstream, however POT data extracted for
Barrasford until 1971 (before Kielder reservoir impounded in 1982). |
Standing wave flume at Barrasford pumping station, flows between 3.2 and 6.8
cumecs from continuous recorder, flows below 3.2 cumecs calculated from a daily
9 am gaugeboard reading. Flows above 6.8 cumecs measured at open channel section
820m downstream. Rating at Barrasford was only considered reliable (within 5%)
up to 4000 cusecs (113 cumecs) and only gauged to 1800 cusecs (51 cumecs) with
significant extrapolation beyond. Rating later improved by correlation of stage
data between Barrasford and Reaverhill together with flow data from that station
(FSR grade B), however considerable inconsistencies remain between peak flows
listed for these two sites during the overlapping period. No rating shown on
NRFA. | Very low flows below 3.2 cumecs only available from daily 9 am
gaugeboard readings. Peak flow rating from current meter gaugings, originally
extrapolated at high flows but later re-worked by correlation with Reaverhill
(23003), however inconsistent peaks including missing peak 08/12/1964 (rank 2
event at Reaverhill), therefore peak flows rejected for this year. Abstraction
at Barrasford pumping station taken between the flume and the rated section,
station file notes abstracted volume added to flow measured at rated section
when pumping (maximum 22.3 cusecs (0.63 cumecs)). Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | A
very responsive upland catchment developed mainly on formations of Carboniferous
series (Fell Sandstone, Scremerston Group and Lower Limestone) and is of
moderate permeability. Land use is rugged moorland and upland pasture, with a
very high proportion of forestry (over a third) for a catchment of this size.
Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.989, post-reservoir FARL is 0.934. No known catchment
changes. | In many winters flow was affected by freezing in the catchment,
resulting in very low flows and considerable lag between precipitation and
run-off. Catchment includes, Catcleugh (in headwaters), Colt Crag and Little
Swinburne (both in south-east of catchment) reservoirs. Abstractions for
Newcastle-upon-Tyne water supply do not pass the gauging station. |

Velocity area station with ultrasonics installed June 1999 to April 2005.
Early POT and AMAX data recorded at Walter Wilson site in Team Valley Trading
Estate. | Velocity area station in culverted section below road bridge,
low flow control is the concrete invert of the culvert. Ultrasonics installed
June 1999 and deactivated in April 2005. Peak flows only are provided for 1975
to 1988, recorded at Walter Wilson in Team Valley Trading Estate in straight,
engineered section with clay banks and silty bed. Control was channel structures
d/s of A692 bridge and pipe crossing. Construction of the 1990 Gateshead Garden
Festival site lowered the bed level, exposing the inlet pipe, and the station
was temporarily closed. | Low flow control exercised by pre-existing weir.
Uncertainties in the peak level recorded in the June 2012 event led to a survey
of the site to establish when overtopping into adjacent field occurs, as the
highest peak levels are all very similar at around 1.3m. Ultrasonic installation
providing full calibration in 1998 (deactivated April 2005). Two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record at current site in April 2004, based
upon ultrasonic data. Analysis of uncertainties in the ultrasonic rating
calculation suggests the lower and upper bounds for QMAX are -10% and +8% at
this site. Previous peak flow rating was theoretical supplemented by current
meter gaugings. | Missing AMAX data for 1990 due to construction of
Gateshead Garden Festival Site. Daily flows for period of record reprocessed in
2002. Dropouts throughout the period of record (for example, in April, July,
Sept-Nov 2014, July 2015, Sept 2019, March & Sept 2020) thought to be caused
by reductions in minewater pumping at Kibblesworth (1 mile upstream). Low
confidence in flows between June and Sept 1986. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | A
primarily rural catchment on the SW edge of Gateshead, on moderate permeability
bedrock overlain with extensive boulder clay and some alluvium. Land use is
mixed agriculture with extensive urbanised areas, industry and former coal mines
in lower catchment. No known catchment changes. | Sewage effluent and
pumped minewaters enter the watercourse approximately 2km upstream of the
station and affect the very responsive regime. |

Metro line built) established from current metering. Post 1991 rating derived
from ultrasonic data and refined in June 2003 to align with more recent high
flow gaugings. Current rating (from June 2003) is a composite: theoretical weir
equation used below 0.34m and ultrasonic data from 2003-07 plus check gaugings
used to derive the rating at higher levels. There is uncertainty regarding the
modular limit of the structure, possibly due to weed/vegetation growth
downstream and there are few high flow gaugings. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Small (9 sq.km), relatively low-lying catchment on moderate permeability
bedrock, but with significant Boulder Clay cover. Predominantly arable with some
grassland and around a tenth of built-up area. No known catchment changes. |
Responsive natural regime with no known artificial influences. |

Flat-V weir measuring compensation flow and hydropower releases from Kielder
Reservoir. | Flat-V weir. Owned by Northumbrian Water, operated by
EA. | Theoretical rating. | Theoretical rating applied to period of
record and data reprocessed in 2015, high flows decreased and low flows
increased. Drop out at the end of May 2015 due to reduced compensation flow from
Kielder. | Upland catchment. Geology: predominantly shales and sandstones
of the Lower Carboniferous series, with nearly 80% superficial deposits of peat
and boulder clay. Extensively afforested with moorland headwaters. |
Measures compensation flow, prescribed flows, abstractions and overspill
from Kielder Reservoir; also releases to support hydropower - maximum release of
15.4 cumecs gives pulsed hydrograph but sub-daily pulses to 1992 concealed in
dmfs. |

Open channel peak flow station draining the Cheviot Hills. |
Originally a four path ultrasonic gauge in open channel, installed to
develop a rating. Channel is contained to 3.2m, where after it flows over a 60m
wide flood plain on the right bank. All transducers mounted in the channel.
Ultrasonic gauge removed in 2010. | One peak flow rating applied across
period of record derived from ultrasonic velocity data and check gaugings.
Rating includes estimation of out of bank flow, which was not measured by the
ultrasonic meter. The current rating is known to over-estimate flows above
bankful (approx. 2.8m) and is currently (July 2022) being reviewed. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | An elongated catchment draining southwards from the Cheviot
Hills. Partly within Kielder Forest Park, land use largely upland forestry and
rough grazing. No known catchment changes. | Catchment includes Catcleugh
Reservoir, which controls 40 sq.km of the catchment. |

Compound broad-crested weirs provide longest flow record on the Wear,
reservoirs affect 7% of the upstream catchment. | Compound broad-crested
weirs within the arches of road bridge; total crest length 38.7m. |
Control is a compound broad-crested weir within the arches of the downstream
road bridge. Flows up to 1.06m stage are contained by vertical arch walls, high
flows are well above this, the tapping point is within the drawdown effect. Weed
growth in summer may cause overestimation of flows. Rating originally based on
theoretical weir rating, subsequently fitted to check gaugings up to 3.4m (375
cumecs), wade gaugings at low flows and cableway above. One peak flow rating
applied throughout. Flood Studies Report grade B. | Flows for the period
1957-73 reprocessed using rating fitted to current meter gaugings. Full record
reprocessed in 2001 to give improved fit to gaugings, reviewed again in 2019 and
reprocessed with rating D to slightly increase flows below 7 cumecs, high flows
unchanged. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Predominantly upland catchment on mainly
Carboniferous formations (Limestone, Millstone Grit and Coal Measures). Half the
catchment is overlain by superficial deposits (peat in headwaters, Boulder Clay
in lower reaches). Land use is half grass pasture, with moorland headwaters,
arable and some urban development in lower reaches. No known catchment
changes. | Gives steep sided hydrographs, often with multiple peaks.
Significant artificial influences: reservoirs in catchment (Burnhope, Waskerley
and Tunstall with total direct catchment area of 45 sq.km); STW effluent forms
significant portion of low flows; minewater discharges (regime altered by pit
closure) and, in drought years, minimum flows supported by Kielder
transfer. |

Crump weir. Station closed in June 2004 due to recurring problems with high
flow data. | Crump weir, 9m broad. Station closed in 1983 due to the
uncertainty in the high flows. Station re-opened in April 1997 to provide flow
data for the Lower Gaunless but closed in June 2004 due to recurring problems
with high flow data. | Backs up from the River Wear and drowns making high
flows highly suspect. | Weekly variations apparent during low flow periods
in early flow series. | | Artificial influences evident,
particularly early in the record and most notably at low flows. |

Compound Crump profile weir gauging the upper Wear catchment. Flow regime
influenced by Burnhope reservoir. | Compound Crump profile weir located in
a steep rocky section, overall width 19.1m, central low crest width 7.6m,
Larinier fish pass completed August 2018. Wing walls raised in 1967. A temporary
cableway was used d/s of the weir in late 1960s-early 1970s. | Weir
suffers periodic upstream gravel accumulation, formerly limited by a gravel
trap, now ineffective. Flows contained on left bank up to 3.1m until July 2007
when the left wing wall was repaired and raised. Instruments originally on right
bank but poor for measuring low flows due to sand and gravel deposition.
Instruments moved to left bank from mid-1990s but stilling well thought to
suffer from drawdown at high stages >1.5m. A second instrument was reinstated
on the right bank in 1998 to improve measurement at high flow but left bank
gauge remained the primary data until Feb 2002, when reverted fully to the right
bank. In July 2007 the inlet pipe was extended by 2m to improve measurement at
low levels due to the accumulation of gravel around the pipe. Two peak flows
ratings applied across period of record, pre- and post- fish pass construction
(2018), refined using hydraulic modelling. Model gives confidence in rating
performing well at high flows. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | Bypassing
on the left bank affected flow events in 1995, 1999 and 2005. Flow of January
2005 event may be underestimated due to problems with gravel build up blocking
the inlet pipe to the stilling well affecting level measurement. Weir repair and
fish pass works commenced September 2017 resulting in inaccurate flow data until
August 2018. Various periods of suspect flows throughout the record as a result
of measurement problems due to gravel deposition and drawdown at high flows.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Steep Pennine catchment. Mainly Lower Carboniferous
Limestone, overlain by peat in headwaters and boulder clay and alluvium in
valley. Some forestry but around three quarters grass pasture and moorland and
some arable farming. No known catchment changes. | Very flashy response
and extremely peaked flows. Burnhope reservoir (catchment area 19 sq.km) has
noticeable effect; net export of water. |

Compound Crump weir set in a deep valley with progressive afforestation and
felling practices. | Compound Crump profile weir. No cableway. A steep
drop d/s makes drowning unlikely. Set in a deep valley. | Compound Crump
profile weir, 2.4m wide low flow crest, 10.3m overall crest length (2:1 u/s and
5:1 d/s slopes). Flanking weir crests are 0.3m above central low flow crest. May
be out of bank on right bank behind gauging hut in largest events (>2.1m
stage) but well contained on left bank by steep slope and bypassing likely to be
minimal. Difficult to gauge at high flows although this is now possible with
ADCP and ARC boat. Single peak flow rating applied across period of record. Good
fit to available gaugings. Flood Studies Report grade A1 to 2m. | Missing
between Sep-Oct 1978 (reason unknown) and 10-12/08-2002 due to a tree affecting
levels. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Predominantly upland catchment, on Millstone
Grit in north and Coal Measures to south, a quarter of the catchment overlain by
drift cover of Boulder Clay and peat. Land use is upland moorland, grass pasture
and coniferous forest. Progressive afforestation and felling (Hamsterley Forest)
since gauge established may have created changes in hydrological regime. |

wing walls altered (1968). The fish pass has a separate stage measurement gauge
and rating, flows calculated by addition of the weir flow and the Larinier flow
from their respective rating curves. Flood Studies Report grade A1. |
Minewater discharges stopped in 1997 which has affected homogeneity of low
flow record; record 2003 low flow sequence, whilst in a notably dry period,
eclipses previous minima. Engineering works 28/10/1988 - 21/11/1988: daily flows
removed from NRFA. After a high flow event on 05/10/2021 tree and debris stuck
on the weir, building up over a year before removal on 22/11/2022. River levels
likely impacted although extent is unknown. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Coal Measures
with just under half the catchment overlain by superficial deposits (mainly
Boulder Clay). Half land use is improved grass pasture, with some woodland, and
arable in lower-lying areas. No known catchment changes. | Minewater
discharges influence low flows and create distinct diurnal pattern although
impact on annual runoff is limited. |

Velocity area station with informal flat V weir. Flow regime influenced by
Burnhope and Tunstall reservoirs. | Velocity area station with informal
flat V weir (25.3m overall, approx 1:20 side slopes) low flow control of
rectangular section. Cableway. | Flat V station prone to non-modularity
and drowns at 0.815m. Flood banks both sides prevent bypassing. Gauge boards
adjusted in July 2003 as a survey confirmed the average error as 70mm too low.
One peak flow rating (Rating C) applied to the full period of record. Subsidence
of weir between 1981 and 1991 is not thought to have impacted high flows.
Gauging by cableway to flood levels, rating curve fitted to check gaugings. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020
(WINFAP Files v9). Rating reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed from 1975. |
Predominantly upland Pennine catchment on mainly Carboniferous Limestone and
Millstone Grit, with just under half the catchment overlain by superficial
deposits (Boulder Clay and peat). Nearly two thirds grass pasture, with
extensive moorland in headwaters, mixed land use in the lower valley. No known
catchment changes. | Catchment contains Burnhope, Waskerley and Tunstall
reservoirs (total direct catchment area 45 sq.km), and has a net export of
water. Transfers by Kielder Tunnel from the Tyne catchment are made in drought
years, entering the River Wear at Frosterley. |

Flat-V weir close to the tidal limit of the Wear. Flow regime influenced by
reservoirs, abstractions and minewater discharges. | Flat V weir in 33m
wide channel, close to tidal limit of Wear but this is not thought to affect the
tailwater level. | Non-standard flat V weir (1:2, 1:2 profile, 1:40
cross-slope), becomes non-modular at moderate flow and fully drowned at high
flow. Spills onto wide left bank floodplain above 1m stage, floodplain gently
rises for some distance before flattening off but largest peaks cover much of
the recreation grounds between the river and the A167 dual carriageway. One peak
flow rating applied across period of record, checked by gaugings from upstream
bridge to 3.8m stage (330 cumecs)(within 15% of AMAX1) with fairly stable
extrapolation. Flow is not affected by tidal limit downstream. Vertical tile eel
pass installed in 2015. | Gaugeboard survey in 2013 identified historic
error between 06/2000 and 09/2013, levels in this period lowered by 36mm and
flows re-processed. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone
Grit, with over two thirds of the catchment overlain by superficial deposits
(mainly Boulder Clay). Land use half grass pasture, moorland in Pennine
headwaters, arable and built-up areas in lower valley. No known catchment
changes. | Peaks of very large events are flattened. Reservoirs in
catchment include Burnhope and Tunstall. In drought years low flows supported by
Kielder transfer (flows maintained >2 cumecs). Abstraction for Wearside water
supply is upstream of gauging station at Lumley. Also affected by minewater
discharges (regime has changed since pit closures). Artificial influences
created a distinctive diurnal variation, especially at low flows, until
2004. |

Compound Crump profile weir with two low flow crests. Heavily influenced by
reservoir storage, abstractions and discharges throughout the period of
record. | Compound Crump profile weir with total crest length of 63.9m.
Two low-flow crests total 9.1m. Gauged ultrasonically from 2002 but this was
abandoned in 2011 due to poor performance. D/s level measurement installed 2003.
No changes to control since construction apart from fish pass (1992-1993)
inserted in low flow weir. There have been bank breaches in the past, and
updated modelling work in Jan 2024 indicates that the right bank overtops into
the Cleasby washlands at around 3.2m stage. This means that only the very
highest AMAX events are affected. | Modular up to approx. 2.5m. Hydraulic
modelling suggests up to 20% bypassing flow at > 100 year return period.
Single peak flow rating applies across the period of record, extrapolated using
hydraulic model. Flood Studies Report grade A1 for all except one occasion. |
Three AMAX events (Aug 1986, Jan 1995 and June 2000) have stage values
within 1mm of one another as a result of overtopping; evidence suggests 2000 was
the highest and may have been 25-30% higher. 1959 minimum may have been
influenced by abstraction immediately u/s. New rating developed in September
2014 and applied from 1982 onwards, reduced flows for the highest AMAX events.
Historic daily mean flow data from 1956 - 1981 has not been reprocessed. Drop in
flows 03-16/05/2017 caused by draw down for essential maintenance at Cow Green
Reservoir. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Predominantly upland catchment,
headwaters draining the Pennines. Mainly Millstone Grit and Carboniferous
Limestone (sandstone, shale and limestone facies), with the majority of the
catchment overlain by superficial deposits of peat and Boulder Clay. Moorland
and rough pasture give way to more intensive agriculture in the lower reaches.
No known catchment changes. | Significant export of water from direct
supply reservoirs (six reservoirs with a total area of 180.7 sq.km totalling
22.1% of catchment) progressively influencing during record period (Selset 1960,
Balderhead 1965, Cow Green 1970). Cow Green operation includes winter flood
storage drawdown, and river regulation to support abstraction and statutory
minimum flows. U/s abstraction for industry during 1960s subject to a minimum
5MGD passing weir; continued until Balderhead Reservoir completed. Significant
export of water from direct supply and abstraction u/s. Some regulation from Cow
Green Reservoir. Import from Tyne via Kielder Tunnel in exceptional drought
years. |

Compound crump weir. Closed in 1980 but re-opened in 1991 as part of a
global environmental research initiative. | Three Crump-profile crests
(1:2, 1:5 slopes), totalling 12.8 m wide, with central low flow crest of 1.5 m;
no cableway. River ice above weir may affect rating in winter, and in severe
winters may freeze in well giving a flat float trace (e.g. 1963, 1979).
Inaccessible in severe winters (e.g. 1979). Dividing piers added, creating
flanking weirs, and abutment walls altered to alleviate shoaling problem by
narrowing channel, in 1962. Closed in 1980 but recommissioned 1991 for global
environmental research initiative. Data presented for the present structure,
from water year 1962/63. | U/s shoaling and low winter temperatures
affected precision of flows. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record, valid until station closure in 1980, and after recommissioning in 1991,
respectively. | Severe winters in 1963 and 1979 caused the river to freeze
resulting in a flat float trace. Missing data 19/08/2001-09/11/2001 due to lack
of access due to foot and mouth disease, logger data overwritten and lost as a
result of the rolling memory. Missing data 07-21/01/2003 due to telemetry
issues. Missing data 24/07/2003-31/31/08/2003 due to site refurbishment works.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Small, relatively remote, upland catchment located
in a nature reserve in upper Teesdale. Former lead mining area with hushing
(channnels created by deliberate dam burst) in upper catchment. Part of National
Nature Reserve managed by English Nature. Catchment is almost entirely covered
by peaty moorland, developed mainly on Carboniferous Limestone. No known
catchment changes. | Responsive natural regime. No known artificial
influences. |

Compound broad-crested weir with a fish pass. Flow regime influenced by
reservoir, minewaters and sewage effluent. | Compound broad-crested
non-standard weir, not purpose built but unlikely to drown. On low-lying ground,
formerly the floor of a boating lake, under concrete foot bridge. Fish pass with
a small Crump weir constructed winter 1995/1996 - acts as an orifice at high
flows. Channel rehabilitation u/s to improve aquatic habitat and maintain low
flows. | Often out of bank, but the overbank flow passes over the two side
weirs. At the highest levels bridge soffit influences upstream level. The weir
and fish pass flows are combined (from 2015), and stage and rating only applies
to the weir. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. Reasonable
fit to available gaugings. Flood Studies Report grade B due to catchment changes
(A2 for structure). | Site temporarily closed from June 2007 after being
vandalised. Not reinstated until 29/09/2009. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Catchment underlain by highly permeable Magnesian Limestone, but nearly all
the catchment overlain by superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Dominated
by mixed agriculture, considerable urban development d/s in Darlington and
Aycliffe. Mixed agricultural land use and significant floodplain drained fen
peat (carrs) where overbank flood storage may attenuate extreme flood
peaks. | Hurworth Burn reservoir (13.4 km2, 6% of catchment) in
headwaters, no longer used for water supply. Pumped minewaters can augment flow,
but this contribution declines over time. Excess flow from the Cocker Beck is
diverted (u/s of Darlington) directly to the Tees. Significant sewage effluent
component in low flows. |

Compound broad-crested weir with bypass Crump weir. Station closed 2008 and
replaced by 25029. | A pre-existing two-stage compound broad-crested weir
17.4m wide, with a bypass Crump profile weir 4.6m wide, adapted for gauging in
1959. The site is badly silted u/s and difficult to maintain. Station closed in
May 2008 and replaced by a new station 6km u/s (25029). | Sharp bend and
road bridge just u/s of weirs. Large drop downstream, therefore believed to be
modular throughout range. Tidal effects are rare, water level at weir footings
ponded to high tide level since 1995 by Tees Barrage. Some limited bypassing
occurs via overspill on u/s bend. Suffered from siltation upstream of the weir
which may have affected rating curve. Theoretical rating but lower limb amended
to fit check gaugings. Gauged to almost QMED. One peak flow rating applies
across period of record. | Bypassed once in 2000, but thought to be due to
a bridge blockage; 2000 flood peak may consequently be unreliable, though
capacity of weir and bridge calculated as 107 cumecs. Suspect daily flow data
removed 04/08/2005 - 06/01/2006 during construction of fish pass. Original
rating amended based on check gaugings, slight reduction in low flows, high
flows unaffected. Rating only applied from 1982, earlier daily flows left
unchanged. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Headwaters drain from the Cleveland
Hills. Mixed geology of mostly Permian/Jurassic age, generally low permeability.
Almost all the catchment is overlain by superficial deposits, mainly Boulder
Clay. Mixed agriculture, with some moorland and forestry in headwaters, minor
urban development in the lower valley. No known catchment changes. |
Sensibly natural regime. No known artificial influences. |

Compound crump weir at the end of a rock fall. | Compound Crump
profile weir, total width 19.2m, central low flow crest 3m wide. Constructed at
the head of a natural rock fall. No change in control since construction, no
permanent cableway although gauged with a temporary winch. Flow is turbulent
even when low. | Remains modular throughout range. Some bypassing over
wing walls, before they were extended, but in extreme cases wrack marks were
surveyed in. Ice has been reported in the stilling well in severe winter
conditions. Theoretical daily flow rating improved with check gaugings. Previous
rating based on structure dimensions and valid up to top of dividing piers. New
rating developed in 2010 and modified in March 2013 to improve derivation of low
flows, applied from the start of the record. Check gaugings show good fit to
rating up to maximum gauging of 1.13m. Flood Studies Report grade B. |
Extreme flood level in August 1986 exceeded stilling well floor level; peak
may be slightly under-estimated as a result. Missing data in February 2008 due
to inaccurate drift correction. Flows reprocessed from 1982 onwards in 2002. New
rating applied to whole record in March 2013. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A steep,
eastward draining catchment in the Pennines developed largely on Millstone Grit,
with nearly the whole catchment overlain by superficial deposits of peat and
boulder clay. Mainly moorland and grass pasture. No known catchment
changes. | Responsive, natural regime. No known artificial
influences. |

Compound Crump weir. Major rebuild of the weir during 2012/13 included the
addition of a Larinier fish pass and the removal of the old pool fish pass on
the left bank. Regime heavily influenced by reservoir storage and
abstractions. | Compound Crump weir 52.2m broad with central low flow
crest (6.7m). Instrument hut moved to left bank in 2006 and cableway installed.
Major refurbishment 2012-14 included addition of Larinier fish pass (3m
wide). | Weir remains modular and no by-passing, but overtops left bank
(contained on right) and can surge up Deepdale Beck. Theoretical calibration
(check gaugings up to Qmed). Original peak flow rating confirmed by hydraulic
modelling in 1998. Weir reconstruction and fish pass addition (2012-2013)
necessitated a re-rating using standard weir equations. Check gaugings
approaching QMED since rebuild confirm new rating, which applies from 07/03/2014
when the majority of the temporary works were removed. | Step-changes in
flow June-September 2014 due to increased outflows from Cow Green Reservoir (to
flush and clean Cow Green weir, also seen at 25018 and 25023). No daily or peak
flow data are available from 01/10/2012 to 07/03/2014 due to temporary in river
works and diversion of flow during weir reconstruction. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Upland Pennine catchment developed mostly on Carboniferous Limestone and
Millstone Grit, with nearly four fifths of the catchment overlain by superficial
deposits of peat in headwaters and Boulder Clay in valley. Land use almost
entirely moorland and grass pasture. No known catchment changes. |
Responsive regime. Six reservoirs in catchment with a total area of 180.7
sq.km (35.5% of catchment), progressively influencing during record period
(Balderhead 1965, Cow Green 1970). River regulation from Cow Green to support
PWS abstractions and minimum flows; Cow Green operation includes winter flood
storage drawdown. Export from direct supply (Lartington); import from Tyne via
Kielder Tunnel only in exceptional drought. Net export of water. |

Velocity area station. Lowest station on the River Tees. Substantial
reservoir influence on flow regime. | Velocity area station with 47.2m
wide flat V low flow control (1:2 u/s and d//s slopes, 1:40 cross slopes)
constructed in 1974. No wing walls. Originally had a natural control. Lowest
station on R. Tees. | River overtops banks approx. 200m u/s and flows
around back of station building, but is too deep to be wade gauged. Flow spills
onto the right bank at 4.6m, but bypass flow is limited as the bank steepens
quickly and the flow is contained. The left bank is overtopped at around 6.17m
stage, with the potential for large volumes of bypass flow for a small increase
in level. Significant hysteresis; modular to 0.5m. Theoretical calibration of
daily flows at low flows; calibration at medium to high flows based on current
meter gauging to high stages from permanent cableway, with supplementary info
from hydraulic modelling. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record,
the most recent is valid from May 1974. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Geology:
mostly Carboniferous (Millstone Grit and Carb. Limestone), some Magnesian
Limestone; superficial deposits of boulder clay, with peat in headwaters.
Moorland and rough pasture in upper catchment, mixed agriculture in lower
reaches, with some urban development. No known catchment changes. |
Significant overbank storage in lower reaches can attenuate flood peaks.
Substantial artificial influences on the flow regime, including seven reservoirs
with total area 194.6 sq.km (15.4% of catchment), influencing floods through
attenuation and storage, and low flows through regulation releases (Cow Green,
and in extreme droughts by Kielder transfers), and abstractions. Significant net
export of water. |

Flat-V weir, daily flows discontinued in 1983, reopened for peak flows in
2001. | Flat-V weir (6m wide; 1:2, 1:2 crest slopes; cross-slope: 1:10) on
a rocky bed with steep gradient. Discontinued in 1983 but analogue recorder
maintained in operation. Site reopened for peak flows in 2001. | Good d/s
fall therefore no backwater effects from Harwood Beck and a high modular limit.
No by-passing although some flow over left bank floodplain in the August 2004
event, otherwise well-confined. River ice above weir may affect rating in
winter. Theoretical peak flow rating to top of wing walls applied across period
of record. Rating changed in 2014 to fill a gap at a stage of 0.26-0.3m. Any
flows calculated above a stage of 1.5m will be out of bank and flagged as
estimated. Good fit to available gaugings up to 0.4m stage but recent higher
gaugings suggest rating may under-estimate peak flows and another rating review
is required. | Peat slip blocked stilling well in summer 1983
thunderstorm, and gravel has blocked previously. New rating applied to period of
record in 2014 resulting in a slight increase in flows around a stage of
0.26-0.3m. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A catchment of high moorland in the
Tees headwaters. No known catchment changes. | Natural flow regime. No
known artificial influences. |

Flat-V weir for low flow control at a velocity-area station located in a
small Pennine catchment. Natural regime. | Flat-V weir (1:2 crest slopes,
1:10 cross-slope) for low flow control at velocity-area station. Shallow gravel
bedded reach, leading to problems with gravel accumulation on weir apron and at
the stilling well inlet; most gravel accumulates at the left side, in the past
it was removed every 2-3 years but returned with flood flows and continued
gravel removal no longer sustainable. Investigations have indicated the gravel
is unlikely to affect the discharge characteristics of the weir. Tapping pipe
extended in 2007 to avoid blockage. Site difficult to access in bad
weather. | No bypassing. Doesn't become non-modular. Only gauged at low
flows until 2013. Since then ADCP gaugings have been carried out up to 0.935m.
Daily flow rating extended using weir equation. Goes out of bank at 1m stage.
One peak flow rating applied across period of record. An ADVP was installed in
2008 16m upstream from the primary stage recorder to improve level and flow
measurement, but removed in 2012 after it was damaged during high flows. At high
flows the rating under estimates flow compared to the check gaugings - probably
due to the 'p' value being different to that used in the theoretical rating due
to the accumulation of gravel at the site. More gaugings at higher levels are
required to confirm this before the rating can be changed. | Blocking of
the tapping pipe caused elevated low flows from 2002 - 2007: these should be
treated with caution. Data for the period of 05/02/2007 to 28/09/2007 is suspect
whilst tapping pipe was repaired. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Small catchment high
in the Pennines, underlain mostly by Carboniferous Limestone with extensive peat
and Boulder Clay cover. Moorland and grass pasture land use. No known catchment
changes. | Natural, responsive regime. No known artificial

Velocity area station with informal flat V Crump weir. Flow regime
influenced by Cow Green reservoir. | Velocity area station, with informal
flat V Crump weir (31.8m wide) for low-flow control constructed in July 1972.
Cableway. Replaced earlier station at Dent Bank (25002). Straight reach, gravel
and rock bed on steep gradient. | Limited modular range. Some bypassing at
the back of the building at high flows; but a reasonable station for high flows.
Measured level may be affected by draw-down and turbulence (due to rocky bed) at
high flows. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. Well gauged to
QMED and uniform cross section allows extrapolation to 3m. | Maintenance
on weir winter 1995-1996 resulted in some artificially low flows. Step-change in
flows June-September 2014 due to increased outflows from Cow Green Reservoir to
flush and clean Cow Green weir (also seen at 25008 and 25023). The 71/72 AMAX
event on 11/01/1972 before the post-weir rating is valid is rejected. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | Upland catchment draining from the Pennines. Geology: largely
Carboniferous Limestone (sandstone, shale and limestone), some Millstone Grit,
with extensive peat cover in headwaters, and boulder clay in valley. Land use:
moorland and rough grazing. No known catchment changes. | Flows affected
by Cow Green reservoir (24.4% of catchment) - influencing entire record through
regulation for abstractions and minimum flow, storage attenuation and winter

Flat-V Crump profile weir with mild steel crest. Station closed in 1996 but
reopened for flood warning purposes in 2003. | Flat-V Crump profile weir
(5m wide) with mild steel crest in rectangular concrete river section. Station
closed 31/12/1996 but re-opened in February 2003 for flood warning. Stokesley
(d/s) has been subject to significant flooding from the Leven in the past (the
last being in 1976), and historic flood marks, recorded at the police station
there, give some support for the high growth rate observed in the AMAX
series. | Fast approach could occasionally give super-critical flow. Flows
well contained up to 1.13m and have never been recorded above bankfull. The
maximum gauged flow is 2.55 cumecs, well below Qmed. Theoretical daily flow
rating by Wallingford Hydraulics Research, checked at low flows by current
meter. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. | Gap in
record Jan 1997 to Feb 2003 due to station closure. Temporary gauge at Low Easby
(Nov 1996 to Feb 2005) has some overlap with Easby record but not currently used
to infill missing peaks. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Steep natural catchment
draining the northern margin of the Cleveland Hills, with predominantly rough
pasture and woodland. Geology is Upper Lias rock (blue-grey clays and

Velocity area station with informal low-flow control. Pre 2012 flow regime
was influenced by net export of water from Hurworth Burn Reservoir. |
Velocity area station. Cableway. No wing walls. Straight approach. All flows
contained in channel. An informal low-flow control (steel trench sheeting with
reinforced concrete capping) with 1:20 cross-slope and 6m wide, was built in
July-August 1978 to overcome weed growth problems. Prior to this, summer low
flows could be over estimated by 100%. | Two peak flow ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from September 1978. Rating by
fit to current meter gaugings before and after low-flow control. Very well
gauged at high flows - up to maximum recorded. | Pre-1978 flows influenced
by weed growth; weed growth continues to be problematic. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Relatively dry catchment mainly on high permeability Magnesian Limestone;
almost all the catchment is overlain by superficial deposits, mainly boulder
clay. Moorland headwaters; mixed agricultural land use and significant
floodplain drained fen peak (carrs) where overbank flood storage may attenuate
extreme flood peaks. Just over a tenth of the catchment is built-up. No known
catchment changes, other than decommissioning of reservoirs. | Hurworth
Burn reservoir covers 13.4km2 of the catchment. In the past, there was a small
export of water from two headwater reservoirs (servicing Hartlepool) which used
to affect low flows. These reservoirs are no longer in use, having been sold in
2012. Minewater additions affect parts of the early record. Up to half of
dry-weather flow consists of effluents, mainly sewage. |

Velocity area station with informal low-flow control. | Velocity area
station with informal flat V low-flow weir. Cableway. Trapezoidal channel with
stone-pitched banks. Prior to March 1973, the invert of a new road bridge 40m
d/s of cableway was intended as control; however, silting made the control very
unstable. The informal low-flow control (steel sheeting and reinforced concrete
cap) was built 1973, with cross-slope of 1:10. Embankments prevent any
by-passing although there could be ponding on the flood plain. Approach is
affected by heavy growth of weed in summer. | Informal structure becomes
non-modular at stages greater than 0.4m. High flow control by bridge invert 10m
below weir. Weed growth on crest causes up to 10% low flow over-estimation.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from January 1990. Due to a 9 year gap, the gaugings began to show a wide
deviation from the previous rating. The current rating (1990-present) does not
adequately fit the gaugings due to the variable effect of reed/weed growth, a
low non modular limit and a possible change in control. Increased weed
management is required at this site and a ADVP may be deployed to try to improve
the record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Relatively dry catchment, mostly
on highly permeable Magnesian Limestone, but with extensive superficial deposits

Crossed-path, multi-path ultrasonic gauge, replaced 25005 7km
downstream. | Crossed-path, multi-path ultrasonic flow gauge built under
existing road bridge in 14m wide channel. Measures full range of flows. Replaced
25005 which closed in 2008. Station added to peak flows dataset in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Station has a purpose-built broad crested weir
control, with a free gap to allow fish passage, to retain minimum levels
required for ultrasonic gauge. Full range of flows are measured with no
bypassing. Small right bank tributary joins just upstream with high sediment
load, causes occasional path failures and sediment deposition. Gauged to around
70% of QMED. | Some data quality issues result from sediment deposition
under the road bridge, thought to arise from the right bank tributary entering
just upstream. Gauge error between July 2009 and July 2010 led to some
over-estimation of flows during this period by around 15-30%. A power cut at the
site resulted in missing data in late June/ early July 2020. | Headwaters
drain from the Cleveland Hills. Mixed geology of mostly Permian/Jurassic age,
generally low permeability. Almost all the catchment is overlain by superficial
deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Mixed agriculture, with some moorland and
forestry in headwaters, minor urbanisation in Great Ayton, Stokesley and Hutton
Rudby. No known catchment changes. | Sensibly natural regime. No known
artificial influences. |

Two tilting-gate weirs with low flow notches. Regime influenced by PWS
abstractions. | Two tilting-gate weirs, each 7.2m wide, each with a low
flow notch on the upper edge. | Very flat gradient, occasionally drowns -
for example, when there is a high tide. Very low flows possibly
underestimated. | Peak flows 22/11/2014-25/11/2014 and
05/02/2015-06/02/2016 are regarded as suspect due to high tides causing the weir
to become non-modular. Missing data in winter 2019/2020 due to instrument fault,
unable to be infilled. | A predominantly rural catchment draining the
Chalk outcrop of the Yorkshire Wolds. Contributing area partly defined by
drainage network. | Appreciable PWS abstractions; residual flow of approx.
0.5 cumecs normally maintained by limiting u/s abstraction. |

Adjustable height, rectangular, sharp-edged weir sluice gate. | Flows
measured by an adjustable height, rectangular, sharp-edged weir sluice gate
(2.8m wide). Pre-1976, the sluice position was not accurately recorded and the
computed flows are less accurate. Eel pass installed September 2012, to be
operated only in eel migration season (April-October). Gate lift or drop alters
datum, but it is rarely lifted. Weed growth may cause high peaks to be recorded,
but station never bypassed. In contrast to much of catchment, station geology is
alluvium overlying boulder clay. | No known end-contractions or bypassing.
Drowning very unlikely due to the weir drop but weed growth can affect u/s
levels. Eel pass designed to have minimal impact on the stage-discharge
relationship. Single theoretical daily and peak flow rating confirmed by check
gauging from bridge used throughout. Flood Studies Report grade A2 assumed due
to complicated pen movement. | Anomalously high flows in July 2003 thought
to be due to temporary damming by landowner. Similar high flow in May 2008 due
to dam placed in channel for duck race. March 1999 peak slightly elevated due to
lowering of the weir crest, releasing stored water from the ponded reach
upstream. Naturalised flows available from the EA from 1995 to 2002. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | A predominantly rural catchment draining the southern Chalk outcrop
of the Yorkshire Wolds (but lower catchment is overlain with Boulder Clay with
patches of alluvium, sand and gravel). No known catchment changes. |
Groundwater influences the hydrograph with strong seasonal component, which
seldom responds to rainfall. Small groundwater abstractions and sewage treatment
discharge, probably affect flows but are insignificant at high flows. The local
fishing club used to maintain the upstream level by adjusting the weir plate
height. |

Electromagnetic station in a permeable Chalk catchment draining the
Yorkshire Wolds. | Electromagnetic gauge (1988-2022) with buried magnetic
coil in 8m wide channel. Measures the West Beck, Driffield Canal runs alongside
(original course of West Beck) and is gauged separately (station 26010 until
2016, replaced by new gauge at Wansford Bridge not currently on NRFA). |
Electromagnetic gauge in trapezoidal section. Weedgrowth in channel and
shallow gradient leads to variable control and backwater, this does not affect
the Electromagnetic gauge but prevents use of alternative stage:discharge
relationship. Check gaugings to check accuracy of gauge and gap editing only.
Electromagnetic gauge replaced by time-of-flight ultrasonic gauge in same
section in October 2022. | Gauge has always been prone to drop outs and
spikes in data. Early records edited using derived ratings and constant shifts
but since 2001 validation has been limited to gross error checks and spike
removal only. Check gaugings typically compare well with EM gauge though and
record is considered good. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Permeable Chalk (Lower
Cretaceous / Jurassic) catchment draining from the Yorkshire Wolds; some
superficial deposits in lower catchment - note that chalk is harder than that
found in Southern England. Surface and groundwater catchments are expected to
differ considerably. Rural, mixed agriculture. Catchment includes a SSSI. No
known catchment changes. NRFA catchment definition changed in 2015 review,
previously included Driffield Canal. | Hydrology dominated by groundwater
component (seasonal winter maxima) with superimposed, small rainfall runoff
hydrographs. Small net export of water and some spray irrigation (trivial
overall impact). On rare occasions levels are affected by the tide, although
normal tidal limit is Hempholme. |

Electromagnetic station in a permeable Chalk catchment draining the
Yorkshire Wolds. | Electromagnetic gauge in narrowed section of canal,
5.5m wide. Catchment nested within the West Beck, which flows alongside and is
gauged separately (26009). Station replaced with velocity index station at
Wansford Bridge 530m upstream, from 2010. | Electromagnetic gauge with
buried coil, rectangular section, no known bypassing. Level control is from
disused lock 170m downstream. Very low velocities lead to problems with
sedimentation and excessive weed / reed growth. No stage-discharge relationship
for this gauge and difficult gauging section due to weed. Since 2011 gaugings
carried out upstream at Wansford Bridge. Gauged close to AMAX1. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | A small, rural catchment draining the Yorkshire Wolds,
nested within the catchment of the West Beck. Land use is predominantly
agricultural. Catchment is underlain by Chalk (Lower Cretaceous / Jurassic) but
is notably harder than Chalk of Southern England. Drift to the east. No known
catchment changes. NRFA catchment definition changed in 2015, previously
included within West Beck (26009) now separated to show streams artificially
captured to feed the Driffield Canal (includes Nafferton Beck and Water
Forlornes). | Dominated by groundwater with seasonal winter maxima. Some
artificial influences, including fish farm abstractions (non-consumptive) and

Flat V weir draining mainly rural catchment, headwaters in Yorkshire Wolds
but much of catchment on very low lying, flat land. | Flat V weir 4m wide
with 1:10 cross-slopes and vertical concrete wingwalls on Back Delfin / Market
Weighton Canal system. Instrrument kiosk with stilling well on right bank.
Mainly rural catchment, rising on southern escarpment of Yorkshire Wolds but
quickly dropping onto flat plains close to the Humber. | | |
Largely rural catchment with arable and some livestock farming. Geology is a
mixture of permeable chalk in the upper catchment with lower permeability
mudstone in the lower catchment. Much of the lower catchment is overlain by
mixed permeability superficial deposits. | Relatively responsive regime
but with strong underlying baseflow signal. Artificial influences from
agricultural abstraction and some sewage treatment works discharges. Lower
catchment is affected by artificial drainage modifying the natural flow paths.
Former Market Weighton canal, now disused and partially filled in, splits part
of the lower catchment and forces some of the natural drainage network to
discharge downstream of the gauge, reducing the catchment area compared to the
natural topography. |

Ultrasonic gauge in chalk stream draining eastern flanks of the wolds. |
Ultrasonic gauge in straight channel. Station added to peak flows dataset in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Crossed-path, multi-path ultrasonic
gauge in straight section of chalk stream. No stage discharge relationship due
to shifting gravels and weed growth, despite weirs downstream and shallow
gradient. Weed can be problematic for the gauge and requires regular maintenance
to keep the gauge section clear. Gauge generally performs well in comparison
with check gaugings. All flows contained, no by-passing. | | Rural
catchment on primarily chalk geology, highly permeable. Upper reaches of the
topographical catchment mainly consist of dry valleys, the tributaries of the
trout stream generally emerge from springs at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds.
This is the UK's most northerly chalk stream and is designated as a SSSI. |
Highly baseflow dominated regime, displaying typical seasonal hydrograph
with smaller rainfall response super-imposed onto the large baseflow
hydrograph. |

Thin-plate sharp edged weir, inside a broad-crested, vertical sided masonry
weir in a rural catchment draining the Yorkshire Wolds. | Thin-plate sharp
edged weir, inside a broad-crested, vertical sided masonry weir around 5m wide.
Situated around 1.25km downstream of the source. Built in the early 1970s but
fell into disrepair in the 1980s. Station re-commissioned in 1998. Previously

is small enough to be safely gauged by hand at all flows. Peak flow rating
derived from gaugings, and accounts for transition from thin-plate to
broad-crested weir. | Dam-building by children regularly affects water
levels. Regularly dries up completely. Full period of record peak flow data

Index velocity station on Driffield Canal, replaced earlier gauge at
Wansford Snakeholme Lock (26010). | Index Velocity gauge with side-mounted
H-ADVP in 8m wide canal. Replaced previous Electro-magnetic gauge at Snakeholme
Lock (26010) 500m downstream of Wansford Bridge. Station added to peak flows
dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | No formal control but index
velocity rating performs well throughout the flow range. Some weed / reed growth
in summer months can affect the velocity sensor. Check gauged to 74% of AMAX3.
One index rating applied to period of record. | Occasional small gaps or
periods of suspect data caused by weed and/or silt affecting the velocity
sensor. Record overlaps for several years with 26010. | A small, rural
catchment draining the Yorkshire Wolds, nested within the catchment of the West
Beck. Land use is predominantly agricultural but includes the town of Driffield.
Catchment is underlain by Chalk (Lower Cretaceous / Jurassic) but is notably
harder than Chalk of Southern England. Drift to the east. No known catchment
changes. Includes streams artificially captured to feed the Driffield Canal
(includes Nafferton Beck and Water Forlorns). | Baseflow-dominated regime
which peaks in winter/early spring and is lowest in late summer/autumn. Flood
peaks typically a rainfall response super-imposed onto the strong baseflow
signal. Some artificial influences from abstraction (fish farm, spray
irrigation) and discharges (sewage treatment works, fish farm). |

Rectangular thin-plate weir. Regime dominated by groundwater. Previously
station number 26802. | Small, rectangular thin-plate, sharp-edged weir
around 5.1 km downstream of the spring source. Approach to station can be
subject to siltation. Built in the 1970's, station fell into disrepair but was
re-commissioned in 1998. | Rectangular thin plate weir in low concrete
wingwalls, just downstream of an arched bridge. Channel can be affected by weed
and reed growth in summer. Channel can run dry and level drops below weir crest
in drought years. Theoretically based peak flow rating, checked by current meter
gauging (waded), applied throughout period of record. | Water levels
occasionally subject to sudden fluctuations or spikes, thought to be due to
children interfering with the weir and/or the annual duck race in July. These
are generally removed during data QA. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A

Crump weir in mainly rural catchment draining south western edge of
Yorkshire Wolds. | Low head Crump weir (0.2m high, 1.45m wide) built as
monitoring for Newbald Becksies wetland nature reserve. Several boreholes and an
automatic raingauge provide additional monitoring data for the wetland. Station
added to peak flows dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Concrete Crump weir with steel crest plate and 0.4m high concrete wing
walls. Sometimes affected by downstream weed growth causing levels to back up at
the weir. Site also prone to interference from third parties building stone dams
affecting flows in summer. Theoretical weir rating supported by gaugings up to
65% of QMED. | Some gaps in record due to logger faults; some data marked
suspect or deleted due to stone dams being built in channel or result of
weedgrowth affecting levels; July 2007 peak possibly reduced due to bypass
channel cut around weir in attempt to reduce upstream flood levels; several
spurious peaks at start of record are not reflected at downstream gauge (26008)
and have been excluded. | Catchment drains the southwest edge of the
Yorkshire Wolds, elevation varies from 160mAOD down to around 36mAOD at the
gauging station. Rainfall is relatively low at 700mm per year. Bedrock geology
is primarily chalk with thin bands of sandstone and limestone close to the
catchment outlet. Soils are well drained calcareous coarse and fine loamy soils
over chalk rubble. The chalk in the catchment is a principal aquifer. Land use
is primarily arable with a small amount of pasture and a small urban area at
North Newbald village. | Natural regime; strong baseflow signal but peaks
are usually result of flashy response to rainfall. |

Broad-crested masonry mill weir influenced by headwater reservoirs at low
flows. | Broad-crested masonry mill weir (49.8m wide) placed diagonally
across the river, with a cableway d/s at Cowthorpe. Station intended to be
replaced by full-range ultrasonic gauge at Skip Bridge (27062) but remains open
due to the value of the long record. | Insensitive weir due to width.
Broad crest prone to collecting debris. Weir drowns in the mid-range, and is
by-passed at the highest levels (beginning at 2.41m). Cableway 1km downstream at
Cowthorpe, also by-passed and drowned in extreme flows. Multiple peak flow
ratings apply across period of record, different lower limbs have been used for
periods when opening of by-pass sluice gate affected flows. Hydraulic modelling
gives more confidence to post October 1966 ratings, but caution is advised.
Level measurement by shaft encoder and bubbler. Flood Studies Report grade
A2. | Flows in pre-digital period cannot be reprocessed and therefore peak
flows are marked as rejected. Operation of by-pass sluice in the 1980s caused
difficulties; flows subsequently revised. No data for June 1984 - March 1985 due
to site works. Flows from 1966 onwards have all been re-processed with revised
ratings, earlier peaks (notably 1946, 1965) still rely on old ratings and likely
to be overestimated. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Mostly moderately permeable. Upper
Carboniferous Millstone Grit series down to Knaresborough, where Carboniferous
Goredale rocks form an inlier. Magnesian Limestone lies on top of the Grits,
dipping east, followed by general drift cover below Knaresborough. Just under
half of the catchment is overlain by superficial deposits. Predominantly rural;
half grassland with moorland headwaters and arable in lower valley which is flat
and the river meandering. No known catchment changes. | Opening and
closing of mill race sluices has occurred but was unlikely to have affected high
flows. Regulatory effect of headwater reservoirs (Angram, Scar House and
Gouthwaite) is evident at low flows. Gouthwaite controls 24% of the catchment
and has a significant impact in low flow periods. Mill operation evident in the
early record. Overall net export of water. |

intended to replace Flint Mill but station retained primarily for high flow
measurement. Check gauged at cableway 1.5km u/s but this was moved to 27089 in
1990. Flow was originally recorded on a flow chart up to the level of weir
by-passing (1.6m), and level thereafter. Mill sluice operation in 1990s and
modification of weir in 2010 affect low flow measurements. | Cableway
built 1954 0.75 miles upstream of weir. More accurate flow recorder installed in
1959. Station recalibrated 1965 due to insensitivity at low flows; control was
deteriorating, but without known change in gauge zero. Weir control insensitive
at low flows. Unlikely to drown at high flows, though small amount of bypassing
on the right bank possible. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record, Rating B originally derived by weir formula then checked by current
meter with good fit to gaugings. Current rating from 2010, reflects
reconstruction of weir crest to a higher level (raised by 0.08m) in summer 2010
but gauge zero not changed, difference is incorporated into rating offset. FSR
rated excellent for high flows. Fish pass construction from late 2019 affects
rating at low flows and another change will be required once sufficient data
available for recalibration. | For early records, chart zero was often set
0.3m below the weir crest to allow for the weir crest drying up due to leakage.
This practice stopped in the 1960s. Flow charts from 1936-1955 considered
unreliable and have not been digitised. Flow charts from 1955 to 1965 are
digitised but have not been reprocessed with revised rating. Records since 1965
have been reprocessed with revised rating and are considered reliable for high
flows, pre-1965 data is less reliable. Rating reviewed in 2022 and data
reprocessed from 2009. Gap in data in 2010 due to weir repairs carried out by
the landowner. Closed to daily flows in 2010 due to ongoing issues. Peaks flows
are unaffected and held post-2010. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Mixed geology of
moderate permeability - mainly Carboniferous Limestone, grits and Coal Measures
with just under half the catchment overlain by superficial deposits.
Predominantly mixed rural catchment, two thirds of the catchment is grassland,
with moorland headwaters. No known catchment changes. | Regulation effect
of headwater reservoirs evident at low flows. Small net export of water to the
Aire Valley (including Bradford supply). |

Combined record of Beal Weir (pre-1995) and velocity area station
(post-1995). The heavily reservoired catchment drains a large part of the East
Pennines. | Broad-crested masonry weir (33.5m wide) with an additional
9.1m of sluices on the right bank, acts as the control at this site. A long
established station, 7 km upstream of the tidal limit of the Aire (Haddlesey
Weir). The original gauge was on the weir, with a cableway 4.5km u/s (led to
limited low flow accuracy); improved performance using new site for cableway and
instruments (500m u/s of weir) from June 1993. Flow records combined. |
Non-standard weir control rated by gaugings. Bypassing over the left bank
begins at around 3.8m stage (at new station) and occurs on a roughly annual
basis. At around QMED, flows inundate extensive N bank washlands. By-passing via
the Aire and Calder navigation at Ferrybridge (measured at Whitley Lock); thus
sum of upstream tributary flow volume at Lemonroyd (27080) and Methley (27079)
is 5-12% greater than flow at Beal. Four peak flow ratings applied across period
of record, two at old Beal and two at new Beal, latest revision was in 2016.
Numerous problems resulting in Flood Studies Report grade Z in 1975, now graded
A1, although the site still suffers regular overtopping into washlands on its
left bank. | Neither the recorder nor cableway was able to measure the
full range of flows until after the 1940s. Early peaks flattened by limited
pen-range and original theoretical formula was not held to be accurate due to
use of timber 'deals' and drowning of the weir at around 1m head. Flood peaks
are still truncated due to spill into washlands limiting the peak level reached
at the gauge. Q95 has decreased significantly in the recent past, which is
thought to be due to increasing abstractions for canal. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Catchment drains a large tract of the East side of the Pennines, including
the catchments of the rivers Colne, Calder and Aire. The geology is mixed with
Carboniferous Limestone in the upper Aire, Millstone Grit and Coal Measures in
the Calder and mid-Aire, Magnesian Limestone, Marl and Triassic Sandstone in the
lower catchment. Some superficial deposits. Mixed land use, with extensive
around a fifth of the catchment is urbanised areas. The headwaters are
predominantly rural moorland and are used for rough grazing. Areas of heavy
urbanisation and significant industry in the mid catchment which includes the
Leeds-Bradford conurbation. Agriculture, including significant arable, continues
in the lower reaches. 11.6% of the total catchment drains through around 50
reservoirs, the larger of which include Butterley (Colne), Ryburn, Boothwood
(Calder), Winterburn, Ponden and Hewenden (Aire). Considerable increases in
urban development and industry during the period of record. Ongoing decline of
the coal mining industry around Knottingley and Pontefract. | Heavily
reservoired including the following groups - Aire (controlling 4.6% of total
area), Calder (4.6%), Colne (2.1%). A complex water utilisation network exists,
with net imports from the rivers Nidd, Wharfe, Ure and Derwent returned to the
Aire upstream of the gauge vie sewage treatment works discharges. Large
abstraction made to the Goole and Knottingley Canal upstream of the station.
Heavily industrialised with abstractions made to Ferrybridge power station. |

Velocity area station. Replaced Kirkthorpe Weir in 1968. Station closed in
1977 and replaced by 27079 (Methley) in 1988. | Velocity area station, an
adjacent thin-plate weir measured diversions to canal, built in 1956 and levels
recorded from 1957. Newlands is situated in an open channel 26m wide, without
formal control, at Newland Hall railway-bridge, 4.8km d/s of Wakefield and 1.5km
d/s of Kirkthorpe Weir. In October 1968, Newlands replaced the original station
at Kirkthorpe Weir (built 1827) to maintain levels in the Aire and Calder
Navigation (records from 1960 with some earlier data back to 1927). Newlands
closed in 1977 and replaced by 27079 (Methley, flows from 1988), although
current meter gauging using the cableway was continued at Newlands. |
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent
is valid from October 1969 when pressure transducer installed. Rated by
multipoint current metering using cableway prior to 1969. | | Mixed
permeability geology of Carboniferous Sediments; Millstone Grit in the upper
catchment, dipping east under Lower and Middle Coal Measures and overlain by
alluvium and sand. It is not tidally influenced. Upland headwaters. Rural land
use predominates with moorland in headwaters. Newlands is located near the
downstream limit of a highly industrialised catchment. There are numerous large
population centres within the catchment including Huddersfield, Halifax and
Wakefield. From 1957, abstraction and discharge for cooling at Wakefield
generating station. Continued intensive coal mining including underneath river
has resulted in subsidence. Continued erosion of upstream riverbanks has
prompted remediation by stoning by Navigation authorities. There have also been
significant changes to channel morphology, with banks being raised or
lowered. | The catchment is heavily reservoired, with 5.9% draining
through an impoundment. Water abstractions returned to river as sewage effluent
u/s of gauge. Import of water from Dewsbury and Heckmondwike and from Wharfe and
Nidd. Continued abstraction to Navigation canal which was temporarily gauged at
Birchwood Lock, 3km downstream of the intake. |

Broad-crested, skewed, semi-circular masonry weir with long record. Heavily
reservoired catchment draining the East Pennines. | Broad-crested, skewed,
semi-circular masonry weir (44.5m wide) with sloping upstream face. Upstream
level recorder since 1921 originally poor due to limited range and position at
foundry intake, now located on inside bend in river, upstream of the weir.
Cableway installed 1961 located 100m d/s destroyed in 1989, new cableway
installed u/s in November 1997. Hut and contents stolen, 1985, replaced 1986.
Fish pass installed November 2012. | Rarely bypassed or drowned. Current
meter gauging previously from footbridge, downstream of weir. Rated by a current
meter from a cableway. Revised rating applied in December 2014 back to November
2012 following fish pass construction. This rating alters the lower limb (below
0.52m stage) to compensate for the fish pass. Four peak flow ratings applied
across period of record. Good fit to gaugings. In 1975 Flood Studies Report
grade A2 to 2m and B above (overall grade A2). Current grade A1 to 2m and A2
above. | Data is available from 21/11/1956. Flows from 1982 reprocessed in
2002 and 2014. Bypassed in June 2007 event. June 2007 peak flow is estimated 259
cumecs and stage 4.68m (wrack survey). Flows reprocessed from 2/11/2012 in 2015
after new rating developed for fish pass resulting in a slightly lower flow
estimate. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October
2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Catchment draining the eastern flank of the
Pennines, to Sheffield. Mixed geology including Upper Carboniferous Millstone
Grit, Middle and Lower Coal Measures sandstones and shales with a generally
easterly dip. Moorland headwaters used for rough grazing contrast with the
heavily urbanised (up to a fifth of the catchment) lower catchment (now less
industrial); mixed rural in mid-catchment. Ongoing increase in area of
development during period of record. | Fast responding catchment with a
large urban component near to the outlet. Heavily reservoired with estimated 40%
of catchment draining through around 23 reservoirs. Variation in Don Valley
reservoir content has very significant effect on overall percentage runoff from
the catchment in flood. Addition of water from borehole to Scout Dyke reservoir
group, intermittent discharge from South Yorkshire Navigation and sewage
treatment effluent discharge. Compensation forms a large part of baseflow.
Significant net loss of water from the catchment with abstraction to Yorkshire
Grid. |

Velocity area station with broad-crested masonry weir. | Velocity area
station with broad-crested masonry weir (59m wide) rated by gauging at cableway
0.26km d/s. This replaced an earlier rated section d/s of the weir near the
canal lock, Boroughbridge weir was thought to act as partial control fore the
old station. Location was moved u/s of the (existing) weir in November 1975,
initially on the right bank, then moved to current location on left bank in
2010. The weir is now in poor repair. Hydropower scheme installed November 2011
and includes a bypass channel, gauged separately. | Some out-of-bank
flooding at very high flows - peaks may be underestimated. Pre- 2009, the
cableway was inaccessible at very high flows, accessibility improved when moved
to the left bank; however, there is still some minor bypassing behind the right
bank stantion in very high flood events. Three peak flow ratings have been
applied for different periods, daily mean flow ratings are not always the same
as for peak flows. Peak rating periods are: d/s gauge 1955-Aug1970 and
Aug1970-Nov1975, the gauge u/s of weir (Nov1975-present). The latter was
supplemented in 1998 by Hydraulics Research analysis, with a more accurate
relationship for stages above 2m. Hydropower bypass channel affects low flow
measurement and is gauged separately to the main channel (Acoustic Doppler gauge
with velocity-index rating), flows from the main and bypass channel are added
together to give a total flow. Gaugings at cableway measure total flow and
therefore may not fit well to rating when Hydropower scheme is operating, they
should be compared with total flow series. | Flows prior to November 1975
have lower confidence due to various changes in rating and changes to condition
of Boroughbridge weir (control for early records. Flows are rejected pre-1970
because the earliest rating and data cannot be confirmed. Increased confidence
to post November 1975 data after recorder moved to upstream of weir, however
still some uncertainty in highest flows due to by-passing of the cableway. This
improved after the cableway was moved to the left bank in 2009/10. From November
2011 onwards flows are derived from the rating curve plus addition of measured
flow in the hydropower intake channel. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Mixed geology
of limestone and grits, with significant Boulder Clay cover. The Millstone is
hilly, but further downstream the Limestone and Marl form a flat plain. Upstream
of Kilgram Bridge the rocks are mainly Carboniferous Limestone and the catchment
is steep. Predominantly mixed agriculture catchment draining from moorland
headwaters in the Pennines. No known catchment changes. | Reservoirs have
a significant effect on the Burn and Laver, but have a moderate overall impact;
some net export of water. 'Grip' drainage also influential. |

Multi-path ultrasonic station since 1992. Previously velocity-area station.
Catchment drains northern parts of the Vale of York and the Yorkshire
Dales. | Multi-path (cross-configuration) ultrasonic station from 1992. It
was previously a velocity-area station since 1956 (37m wide at low flows), with
control exercised mainly by Naburn weir, 13km d/s. A key station for regulation
of public water supply abstractions and flood risk management. It is a difficult
site for flood estimation due to lack of similar catchments yet is not entirely
suitable for single-site analysis. | Velocity area station until 1992 with
control influenced by the downstream channel and by Naburn weir, replaced by
ultrasonic gauge from 1992. Banks raised when US gauge built, some minor
bypassing in high flows prior to that, now all flow contained through the gauge
section. Daily flow rating affected by sluice gate settings at Naburn, previous
attempts to apply different ratings to account for this were unreliable, recent
review (2023) reverted to single best fit rating curve for low flows,
significant scatter in check gaugings show inherent variability in
pre-ultrasonic flow data. Three high flow ratings applied to pre-ultrasonic
period, based on hydraulic model analysis and check gaugings, and influenced by
construction of flood defences downstream in York. Ultrasonic data since 1992,
with back up rating to infill where required, considered good throughout the
range, although AMAX1 event (Nov 2000) had some unmeasured flow with estimated
peak around 5% higher than measured. | Pre-1992 records less reliable due
to variability in stage-discharge relationship. Records reprocessed from 1969
following rating review, peak flows increased pre-1982 and reduced 1982-1992 as
a result, daily flows also amended for this period. Nov 2000 peak
under-estimated by gauge, peak flow has been corrected. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Mixed geology, mostly of moderate permeability but highly permeable in lower
reaches; extensive superficial deposits mask solid geology in much of catchment,
particularly Vale of York. Large areas of Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone
Grit in the west, Permian Magnesian Limestone in the central area and Keuper
Marl and Triassic Sandstone to the east. Along the eastern border are rocks of
the Lias and Great and Inferior Oolite Series. Predominantly rural catchment
draining north parts of Vale of York and Yorkshire Dales, with some moorland
headwaters. No known catchment changes. | Large catchment with significant
floodplains leads to long, slow flood response lasting several days. Reservoirs
influence flows in the Ure and Nidd tributaries, public water supply abstraction
u/s at Niddmouth also a significant impact on low flows. Hydropower scheme at
Linton Weir leads to short-term fluctuations in low flows but not significant at
daily timestep. |

Compound thin plate and broad crested weir, theoretical rating, in
responsive upland catchment in the North York Moors. Station closed December
1979. | Three-stage thin-plate rectangular weir (6.1m wide overall) with
short broad-crested flanks (4.55m wide) and concrete overall. Built for water
resources purposes for proposed reservoir (never built). Station closed
31/12/1979, replaced by 27054 Cherrytree Farm from 30/12/1976. |
Three-stage rectangular thin plate weir with broad crested flanks in incised
valley, no bypassing and believed to remain modular (but no downstream recorder
to confirm this). Site affected by sand and gravel accumulation upstream of low
flow crest, this was periodically removed and mainly impacted on low flow
measurement. Intake pipe to stilling well also suffered from blockage at times.
Theoretical rating, calibrated flow chart by Lea Recorder Co up to 195 MGD
(10.26m3/s) and water level recorded above this to 1.98m, maximum chart level
only exceeded once (23/06/1946) and estimate of peak flow (590MGD) was noted on
chart. Latterly a PTR was installed (thought to be from May 1972) with a rating
table (rating B) based on the original Lea calibration developed by the Water
Resources Board. Peak flows extracted by Flood Studies team, all appear to be
taken directly from original chart flows and converted to m3/s. Few current
meter gaugings mainly at low flows, suggest gauge over-estimates at very low
flow but closer agreement above around 1.5m3/s. FSR grade A2. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP
Files v11). | Small, upland catchment in Yorkshire moors, with steep
slopes rising to flat moor tops above. Geology consists of bed of the Lias and
lower Oolite dipping south, and the whole succession exposed down the sides of
the valley. Mostly shales and sandstone. Moorland and upland grass, some
woodland. No known catchment changes. | Responsive catchment, no known
artificial influences. |

Velocity area station, the lowest station on the Yorkshire Derwent.
Superseded by 27041 and closed in 1975. | Broad-crested non-standard weir
31m wide with mill channel and separate navigation channel. Original recorder
upstream of the weir, supplemented and eventually replaced by velocity area
station downstream of the weir. Flood flows from the upper catchment are
diverted to Scarborough via the Sea Cut (27033). The lowest gauging station on
the Yorkshire Derwent, operating since 1932. Superseded in 1973 by 27041
(Buttercrambe) d/s. Station closed 31-12-1975. Levels only are now recorded at
Stamford Bridge. | Discharges which bypass the weir via a flood sluice
were taken into account in early records but rating relationship was very
variable; chart recorder installed at cableway site downstream of the weir in
1962 and improved stage-discharge rating. The weir crest was lowered in 1958 and
again in 1970. The flood plain occasionally overflows behind the station and the
weir has drowned on rare occasions. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across
period of record, the most recent is valid from July 1969. Flood Studies Report
grade before 1958, Z; 1958-1962, B; after 1962, A2; overall A2. | |
Large catchment with mixed geology. Predominantly rural, mixed agriculture
with moorland in headwaters. Downstream of Malton the Lias and Oolite series
dipping northeast are cut through and underneath there, and down to Stamford
Bridge, are Rhaetic and Trias Marls and sand. All Cretaceous, Jurassic and
Triassic strata are represented in the catchment. The Vale of Pickering is
alluvial. No known catchment changes. | Flood flows from 88.8 sq.km of the
headwaters (eastern North Yorkshire Moors) are diverted from the Derwent via the
Sea Cut; these flows are measured by station 27033 at Scarborough. Instantaneous
peak flows are not corrected for flow diverted down the Sea Cut because of the
difficulty of establishing a time correlation; diverted catchment area is 5% of
Stamford Bridge catchment. No significant reservoirs. |

Ultrasonic/Velocity Area station in the centre of Doncaster. Heavily
urbanised catchment and numerous artificial influences on the flow regime. |
Full range ultrasonic since 2000 in the centre of Doncaster. Previously a
velocity-area station, 24m wide, formerly with cableway in a straight, embanked
open channel reach from 1958. The ultrasonics are in an open channel control
with significant hysteresis. New road bridge completed January 2001. Stage
Discharge rating still preferred for peak flows. | By-passing via the
Sheffield and South Yorkshire Navigation, 1km u/s and is measured at Long
Sandall Lock. Significant scatter in gaugings above 1m stage. Recalibrated in
late 1970s following removal of rubble weir (low flow control) due to
measurement problems. Gauge zero was raised 1m in April 1978. Daily mean flow
rating reviewed in 2014: Rating D implemented 11/01/1978-31/12/2000, Rating E
implemented 01/01/2001 to present. Rated by check gauging (by cableway 1977 to
2000). Extrapolated above 5.49m. Full range Ultrasonic available since December
2000. Flood Studies Report (1975) grade A1 to 2.3m, B above this. |
Intermittent records exist for as early as 1868 (see FSR), but they are not
considered reliable, or representative of the modern catchment. Channel
improvements, carried out in 1957, lowered water levels in the lower Don.
Missing data 1976-1977 due to rubble weir removal. Post-1977 flows reprocessed
in 2014. November 2000 flood peak is believed to be underestimated. June 2007
flood peak gauged at c.350 cumecs by ADVP. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | The catchment
drains the east flank of the Pennines above Chesterfield, Sheffield and
Barnsley. Mixed geology: Millstone Grit (headwaters), Coal Measures, Magnesian
Limestone and Triassic Sandstones. Moorland headwaters, mixed agriculture in
valleys along with significant industrialisation and urbanisation, including
Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster. The eastern part of the catchment is
low-lying, and was historically marshland, being drained in the 17th and 18th
centuries by Dutch engineers. Historic tree-clearing, particularly in the Rother
and Dearne valleys. Old mining areas are commonly subject to subsequent
land-subsidence which poses a problem for the extensive raised flood banks. Once
agricultural, Doncaster and Askern are now largely urbanised. Recent landscaping
of Rother Country Park included significant tree planting. River regulators have
been introduced over a period of time from 1958 to 1988. | River
regulators and sluices on the Rother and Dearne tributaries control the
operation of washlands in large floods. The heavily reservoired Don headwaters
and Chesterfield and Clowne areas provide for a net import for supply via supply
from the Derwent Valley and groundwater abstractions. |

A large masonry weir at an angle to the u/s channel. Heavily influenced by
headwater reservoirs. Station closed in December 1971. Reopened in 2005,
initially as a level only station but subsequently re-rated and flows calculated
again from 8/11/2005. | A large masonry weir 61m wide calibrated at a
velocity area station 360m d/s. The weir is at an angle to the upstream channel.
Recorders u/s and d/s of the weir (the d/s gauge was removed in 1966). Chart
records from u/s recorder since 1924. New recorder installed in 1958 and flow
calculated from October 1960. Station closed in 1971. The station was reinstated
in 2005 as a level only station when a level recorder and an H-ADVP in a 24m
wide channel ~80m upstream of the weir were installed. The H-ADVP gauge has
since been removed but a new rating was established and used to calculate flows
again from November 2005. | Good measuring reach enclosed by steep
riverbanks and weir not thought to drown. One peak flow rating applied across
original period of record (1960-1970). Rating derived from multipoint current
meter gaugings from cableway. Flood Studies Report grade A2 at all flows. New
rating developed following re-opening of gauge and applied to period from
11/2005 to date. Gauged up to bankfull stage and rating gives a good fit to
gaugings. | Record thought to be of little use before 1961. Records
pre-1947 now thought lost. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Mixed geology: Millstone
Grit (headwaters), Coal Measures, Magnesian Limestone and Triassic Sandstones.
Moorland headwaters, mixed agriculture in valleys with significant urban areas,
including Sheffield. Headwaters are heavily reservoired. Decline of coal mining
and manufacturing industries throughout the period of record. Extensive urban
development around Sheffield (with several large green field developments during
the 1970s) and Chesterfield during period of record. | Headwaters are
heavily reservoired with around two thirds of the catchment draining through
some 27 impoundments and valleys are highly developed. The Rother has
significant washlands (although few were controlled by 1971). Traditional
industries including steel and mining are now in decline. Sewage effluent
augmentation with approximately 2/3 of abstraction to public water supply
returned to Rother above gauge. Import from Derwent Valley, but overall net loss
of water from Don to Dearne. Abstraction into the Sheffield and South Yorkshire
Navigation canal just upstream of the gauge. |

Compound broad-crested weir in a rural catchment with some
abstractions. | Compound broad-crested weir (12m wide) with central notch
3.9m wide and 3.658m long formed in weir crest, flanking weirs (0.23m above
weir) and float well constructed August 1959. Slightly curved in plan, weir drop
of 2.4m. Weir crest broken May 1967, repaired December 1967. Cableway added in
1999. | Considered likely to drown only in extreme events - only known
occurrence June 2007. Some bypassing on left bank at around 45.56 mAOD (2.2m
stage) to storage. Rarely bypasses over the right bank. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record. Theoretical rating for daily and peak flows
originally developed using physical model with current meter gaugings. Rating
revised in 2016. Gauged to a very high level in June 2007 but measured peak
0.75m above this gauging. Flood Studies Report grade A2 in absence of any other
information, 1975 now A1 to 1.3m and grade B above. | Daily gauge readings
commenced in June 1953, continuous flow records from March 1960. Extreme flood
event in June 2007 well above any previous known floods. Period between 1953 and
1959 rejected due to unknown provenance of data. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Mixed
geology of Upper Carboniferous, coal measures, very little superficial deposits.
Predominantly rural catchment, mixed agriculture and woodland with urban
development near gauging station. No trace of original course of River
Dearne. | Some abstractions, including industrial uses. Discharge of
minewater drainage - decreasing influence. |

Velocity area station in a typical Pennine catchment. Station closed in
December 1980. Replaced by 27090. | Velocity area station, 20m wide at low
flows. Station closed 31-12-1980 when land lease for cableway (300m d/s of
recorder) expired, cableway removed but chart recorder was retained and levels
are still recorded here. 27090 (Catterick Bridge) commissioned in 1994, a new
station 10km d/s to replace Richmond. | Unstable control for low flows.
Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid
from January 1966. Rated by current meter gauging. Flood Studies Report grade
A1. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Typical Pennine catchment Almost
wholly on Lower Carboniferous Limestone (95%), with outliers of Upper
Carboniferous Millstone Grit series on some of the watersheds. Predominantly
upland moorland and grass. No known catchment changes. | Very responsive
regime. Abstraction for Catterick Camp is just u/s, but otherwise catchment
shows a natural runoff pattern. |

Velocity area station with cableway. Catchment includes former opencast mine
Rother Valley Country Park. | Velocity area station (15m wide) in
trapezoidal channel with current meter cableway. Gauge is downstream of a
washland storage scheme and catchment has been significantly impacted by
opencast mining. | Large trapezoidal channel with partial control from
Orgreave weir 1.2 km downstream. No by-passing but flow is affected by upstream
regulator and washland storage scheme, operation of the regulator holds water
back during large flood events. Some variability in the rating at low flows,
possibly due to seasonal weedgrowth. Channel also affected by modifications from
opencast mine remediation and subsidence. Some evidence for lag/drawdown in
stilling well in large flood events. Rated by gaugings, two ratings applied
across period of record, latest applies from January 1974, although Orgreave
weir was breached in June 1973 and repairs not completed until October 1974.
Rating based on multipoint current meter gaugings and more recently with ADCP
measurements. Flood Studies Report grade B assumed in 1975, now A1 to 2m, A2 to
3m and B above. | Chart records from May 1959 and flow records from
October 1961. Sequences of identical low flows in the 1960s (but realistic).
Control breached June 1973, repaired October 1974 but PTR found to be faulty and
daily flow records not considered reliable until January 1976. Records from
01/1974 reprocessed (1977), earlier records are less reliable. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Catchment draining the moors and fertile farming valleys southwest
of Sheffield. Mixed geology, principally Middle and Lower Coal Measures, with
overlying Permian sands, marls and Magnesian Limestone are found down the
eastern watershed. Land use: moorland headwaters, mixed farming and heavily
urbanised valleys. Extensive urban development of Chesterfield over period of
record. | Rother Valley Country Park mined by opencast methods, 1976-1981
but restored to become large controlled washlands in 1988. The washlands
upstream of Woodhouse Mill are controlled by two in-line river regulators, which
results in occasional distortion of the natural hydrograph. These structures
have been operated several times during floods (including 2000, 2007, 2012 and
2019) and have a very significant effect on peak flows in the Rother.
Abstractions and storage in reservoirs of northeast Derbyshire, Chesterfield,
Bolsover and Clowne. Imports from the Derwent Valley reservoirs to Linacre
reservoir. Abstractions to water supply from Ogston reservoir. Borehole
abstractions made to Crowhole reservoir. |

Flat-V weir in an open channel. Flow regime influenced by numerous
abstractions and diversions. | Flat-V weir in an open-channel, on a
straight, stable reach, just downstream of Chesterfield. Cableway located 50m
u/s rebuilt 2003; new cableway covers larger cross-section of river. Replaced a
shallow masonry V weir located a short distance upstream in October 1979.
Improvements in water quality may be responsible for heavy, summer
weed-growth. | Flows greater than the capacity of the weir rated using
cableway 50m u/s. Railway embankment and high river wall at sewage treatment
works thought to fully contain high flows, but hydraulic modelling suggests peak
flows (>60 cumecs) may be underestimated. Flows bypassing station via
Chesterfield Canal were measured at Wheeldon Mill Lock from October 1963 to
1989. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Rating reviewed in
2012 and modified to increase flows slightly above bankfull stage, based on
gauging during 2007 flood event - applied back to November 1979 when previous
masonry weir replaced with current structure. Flood Studies Report grade A1 in
1975, now graded A1 to 2.9m and B above. | Flows from November 1979
reprocessed in 1996 and 2012. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | A catchment draining moors
and fertile farming valleys to the southwest of Sheffield, including Dronfield
and Chesterfield. Comprising mostly Pennine uplandsGeology: mainly Coal Measures
with underlying Millstone Grit outcropping in the southwest of the catchment,
except for a narrow alluvial strip, down the axis of a geosyncline in the
valley. Mixed agriculture predominates, some moorland in headwaters (Peak
District). Substantial urban development - population has grown fourfold since
1945. Industry has developed alongside residential growth. Once commonplace, now
few traces of coal mining in the area remain. Chesterfield is immediately u/s of
station. | Flows from November 1979 reprocessed in 1996 and 2012. The
pre-1979 rating is a poor fit to gaugings and flows are likely to be
underestimated. |

Velocity area station. Net inflow to the catchment from springs and sink
holes. Station closed December 1975. | Velocity area station 20m u/s of
Ilkley Old Bridge, the paved invert of which is low flow control for station.
Open channel 37m wide. Replaced by Addingham (27043) 3.3km upstream in 1973.
Discontinued as flow station in 1975 but level record continues. Cableway still
used for calibration of Addingham. | Bypassing begins at 3.6m over the
left flood bank and flows on the flood plain. Minor draw-down problem in float
well. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most
recent is valid from January 1970. Rated by current meter gauging from bridge
and correlation with Addingham record, adjusted for abstractions and greater
catchment area. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | | Predominantly
Lower Carboniferous Limestone and shales in the upper two-thirds of the
catchment, and Upper Carboniferous grits and sandstones in the lower parts near
Addingham. Extensive Boulder Clay and alluvium. No known catchment changes. |
There are many springs and sink holes, and an examination of the catchment
losses suggests there may be net inflow to the catchment. Water supply
reservoirs at Barden and Chelker result in net export of water from the
catchment, returns are through the Aire and Calder system. Grimwith reservoir
upstream (catchment area about 25 sq.km) provided compensation releases to

Velocity area station. Lower catchment is heavily urbanised. The headwaters
are rural and influenced by numerous reservoirs. | Velocity area station
on a straight, industrial reach. Station is located 100m downstream of twin arch
viaduct, and confined by canal embankment (right bank, 11.19m) and a high wall
(left bank, 5.96m). Channel control provided by two broad-crested weirs set in
arches (20m wide) 1.8km d/s under Leeds train station. Station prone to heavy
weedgrowth in summer. Changes in weir condition, 1971 and crest deterioration,
1975 not thought important for high flows. Weir crest reconstructed 1978.
Instrument building destroyed by fire in 2008, station rebuilt at same section
but on opposite (left) bank in 2010. | Rated for all flows by cableway at
the section. No bypassing is known but wall was close to overtopping in 2000.
Weir crest reconstructed and re-rated in April 1978, but flood calibration was
unaltered. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Upper limb of
all ratings since April 1978. Low flow weed correction not shown. |
Pre-1971 data are less reliable. Data 19/05/2008 to 08/09/2010 estimated
using correlation with Leeds City Station gauge a short distance downstream due
to temporary station closure. Estimates are within +/-15% of expected Armley
flows. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October
2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Catchment draining the east side of the Pennines
above Leeds. Geology comprises predominantly Carboniferous Limestone in the
headwaters down to Skipton, and Millstone Grit and Lower Coal Measures.
Extensive superficial deposits. Rural headwaters, with considerable urban and
industrial development in the lower catchment. Influenced by reservoirs.
Estimated 12.7% of catchment drains through 18 impoundments. Large reservoirs
include Winterburn, Ponden, the Denholme Group. | Reservoir groups include
Skipton, controlling 4.1% of total area, Keighley 4.7%, Denholme 1.8% and
Bingley 1.8%. Zero flow when river level drawn down below weir crest by
Kirkstall Power Station (license revoked 1978), now closed. Abstractions
returned to river on site. Discharge received from sewage treatment at Bradford
(Esholt) and some industrial abstractions. Washlands created at Skipton and
Silsden to manage flooding at Keighley and Leeds. |

Broad-crested masonry weir in catchment with heavily urbanised valley floors
and rural headwaters. | Broad-crested masonry weir 53m wide with a 5m
Crump-profile notch adjacent to the right wing wall for low flow measurement. In
July 1969, deteriorating timber-crest replaced by concrete-cap. Low flow notch
enlarged 1971 followed by recalibration. The weir is a short distance downstream
of a bend. When the old canal, 'Tag Cut' was infilled, historic problem of flows
bypassing the station removed. | Current metering of low-flows was
originally from the footbridge 200m downstream in June 1954, then from 1962
using an adjacent cableway. A pressure-bulb recorder was installed to monitor
high flows in 1969. Cableway burned 1989 replaced by rail on vehicle bridge 200m
d/s, 1996. Water level recorder re-sited nearer the river in 1980. Flow out of
bank at recorder is contained at cableway. Two peak flow ratings applied across
the period of record. Crump weir formula for weir notch with main weir
calibrated by current metering from bridge. Flood Studies Report grade of A2
downgraded to C when computed flows were compared with original rating in
1975. | Previous period-of-record maximum flow occurred in October 1967
but considerable uncertainty surrounds the event magnitude. The EA record a
figure of 520 cumecs, but this is known to have been extrapolated and may have
been affected by hydrometric changes. Partial weir collpased was repaired to
same specifications in June 1982 necessitating a new rating curve. Flows
reprocessed, resulting in a substantial increase in high flows and a decrease in
low flows. Gaugings from 1987 were subject to systematic error and not used.
Rating review in 2020, based on hydraulic modelling, reduced flows above 1.65m
stage (1971-present). Pre-1971 peak flows are rejected as there is no known
suitable rating for this period. | Catchment draining the eastern flank of
the Pennines, above Halifax. Geology comprises Upper Carboniferous Millstone
Grit Series but includes a small area of Lower Coal Measures at Elland. The
headwaters rise from peat-covered moorland. Very steep and often-wooded,
headwater valleys cut down through Millstone Grit. Valley bottoms of lower
catchment are heavily urbanised and industrialised. Valleys rise steeply to
moorland predominantly covered by peat. Higher land is roughly grazed. The
valley floors are urbanised and industrialised; the catchment contains Halifax
and Elland. Increasing urbanisation in valley bottom towns during period of
record. | Heavily impounded with around 18 reservoirs controlling about
15.4% of total watershed, mainly by small impoundments, but including Walshaw
Dean. Some abstraction to supply the Yorkshire Grid. |

Crump profile weir in a heavily urbanised and industrialised catchment. Flow
regime controlled by washlands since the gradual closure of mines. |
Compound Crump weir with broad-crested flanks built 1963, total width 17.4m,
400m d/s of Adwick Bridge. Cableway located 25m upstream of weir. Fish pass
installed June 2013. | Compound weir with central Crump profile section
5.5m wide, broad-crested flanking weirs with crests 0.4m higher than central
weir, sloping side walls and no divide piers. No known bypassing, flow contained
by raised embankments, however site is subject to variable back-water from the
river Don confluence downstream in large flood events. Problems with draw down
effect in stilling well were remedied in 1968. Weir possibly subject to mining
subsidence. Rating developed from Crump formula modified to fit to check
gaugings at cableway 25m upstream. Rating revised in 2016 to account for
drowning / variable backwater but considerable scatter in gaugings above 1.2m
stage. Separate level record and rating for fish pass (installed 2013) with flow
added to weir flow to calculate total flow. Flood Studies Report grade A2 to
1.4m then B for straight-line extrapolation. | Continuous level data from
1961. Flow data from November 1963 but data pre-1975 is thought to be less
reliable. Post-1975 flows reprocessed in 1996 (low flows reduced, high flows
increased) and again in 2016 (high flows reduced). Major flood events affected
by backwater, allowed for in rating but with considerable uncertainty above 1.2m
stage (40 cumecs). Increased flows 02/12/2013-05/12/2013 a result on contractors
working on site affecting the water level. Data marked as estimated. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Geology: primarily Carboniferous Coal Measures. Lower Coal
Measures dip gently east northeast under more extensive Middle Coal Measures.
Shales, overlain by alluvium. Land use: arable farming and moorland pasture in
the headwaters. Significant urban development in middle reaches and valleys,
including Barnsely. Coal mining and subsequent subsidence of land. Decline of
coal mining and manufacturing industries throughout the period of record.
Barnsley's growing population (and thereby development) peaked with the mining
economy in 1971 (a quarter of Barnsley's population of Barnsley worked in mining
by 1981). All mines were closed by 1994 with population decline since. The death
of the industry left a legacy of abandoned deep mining pits and opencast
coalmines, their associated spoil tips and mine works. | Abstraction to
supply from Scout Dike reservoir group and Midhope reservoirs in the Don,
discharged to Dearne. Reservoir influence from Worsborough and Bretton Lakes
draining around 20% of the catchment. Moderately heavy industrialisation, mine
drainage, sewage effluent augmentation and net import of water from Don.
Hydrological characteristics altered by surface works and groundwater rebound in
response to mine water pumping. The construction of washlands in the Dearne
catchment has been an ongoing activity since the gradual closure of mines. Some
of the washlands are controlled by two structures: A river regulator at Bolton
(upstream of Adwick) and a side sluice gate at Dearne Mouth (downstream).
Uncontrolled washlands operate at flows from QMED upwards, the sluice and
regulator are operated only in major flood events. |

A non-standard broad-crested weir within high banks containing all
flows. | A non-standard, curved, concrete broad-crested weir 52m wide with
an off-centre steel-crested Crump weir notch 3.8m wide for more accurate low
flow measurement. Broad-crested flanking weirs 0.4m higher. The existing
sidewalls extend well upstream and no end contractions are known. Located within
high, regular-profile riverbanks which contains flow at all levels. Colne Bridge
is located about 650m upstream of the confluence with the Calder. There are some
problems of silting. | Weir control, no bypassing. Low flow rating from
Crump formula, empirical rating for higher flows fitted to gaugings at cableway
200m d/s. Gauged to AMAX3 and 85% of AMAX1. Rating reviewed in 2020, revised
rating D gives good fit to high flow gaugings from 2012 flood event. Flood
Studies Report grade B. | Although such events are rare, the 1946 flood
level reached 2.4m over the Crump. Low flows in February 1992 due to a landslip
event causing ponding u/s of station; flows bypassed through nearby canal. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | The catchment draining the East side of the Pennines above
Huddersfield. Mixed geology with Carboniferous Millstone Grit in the upper
catchment and Coal Measures, which dip under Lower Coal Measures in the lower
part. Catchment comprises peat-covered moorland headwaters used for rough
grazing. Steep valleys descend rapidly to heavily industrialised and densely
settled valley bottoms and which includes Huddersfield. Continuing increase in
urbanisation around Huddersfield during period of record. | There are
numerous small storage reservoirs in the Colne valley. An estimated 16.75% of
catchment drains through around 8 reservoirs. Abstractions are made for supply
at Huddersfield. Some imports of water received from Deanhead reservoir and
groundwater abstractions. Export of water is made from Blackmoorfoot reservoir.
Industrial abstraction from downstream of the confluence with the Calder is
discharged back to the Colne upstream of the station. Industrial abstraction
along the Huddersfield Broad Canal. |

Thin-plate V notch weir with a parallel Crump weir. Partially Karstic
catchment, true drainage area unknown. | Compound structure with a thin
plate V notch weir (1.2m wide) in parallel with a Crump weir (3.35m wide),
originally to monitor a Craven Water Board abstraction (no longer active),
abstraction was not permitted when flow fell below 0.01 cumecs. | Compound
structure in a steep, rocky channel comprising thin plate V notch weir (half 90
degree) in parallel with a Crump weir. The V notch is for greater sensitivity at
low flow, while the Crump allows measurement to extend to high flows. The V
notch capacity is limited by a horizontal cut off wall at 0.4m stage, above this
it behaves as a submerged orifice. Crump weir crest at approximately 0.38m
stage. Significant bedload and approach channel affected by accretion of gravel
and cobbles. Some limited out of bank flow in the highest events but no
bypassing. One rating applied across period of record, derived from weir
formulae for V-notch/orifice and Crump. Rating supported by check gaugings but
only to around 50% of QMED. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | Considered to
provide reasonable data. Extreme event on 13/08/1975 damaged the gauge and chart
failed, peak subsequently estimated at 27 cumecs based on Manning formula. This
very high peak partly a result of blockage and subsequent dam break upstream,
the AMAX has been rejected in the Peak Flow Dataset. Data for WY1975/1976 also
rejected due to missing data. Largest event recorded at the gauge (October 1998)
may also have been affected by u/s blockage and subsequent dam break. Suspect
flat trace in May-June 2004 due to instrumentation problems. Peak flow on
20/07/2014 thought to be correct, 15.6mm of rain recorded at Grimwith tipping
bucket raingauge. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Steep, upland catchment; mostly
moorland developed on Carboniferous Limestone, Millstone Grit and Shales. The
watercourse flows in a boulder channel. The catchment is partly Karstic
Limestone and has numerous swallow holes and resurgences; true drainage area
uncertain. No known catchment changes. | Unusual flow regime, exhibits
unresponsive behaviour in periods of low flow, thought to be result of a band of
carboniferous limestone crossing the catchment with numerous sinkholes and dry
valleys. The upper catchment only contributes flow accross this Karstic band in
large flood events, leads to uncertainty in the representative catchment area
for the gauge. Flow also influenced by old mine workings and one small upstream
abstraction (now ceased), but otherwise predominantly natural flow regime. A
quarry access road crosses the dry valley upstream of the gauge and can act as a
dam in flood events, causing water to pond up behind (this breached in August
1975 event, resulting in very high peak flow). |

Compound broad-crested weir in a diversion channel passing flood waters from
the upper Derwent. This means the contributing area varies at high flows. |
Compound broad-crested weir 21m wide with central notch 2.9m wide and crest
level of 20.6 mAOD; the flanking weirs are 0.152m higher. A cascade of weirs,
making drowning highly unlikely. The channel was artificially extended in the
last century. The Sea Cut is primarily a diversion channel which passes flood
waters from the upper 88.8 sq.km of the Derwent, although it has a small
catchment of its own as well. | Many springs d/s of the gauge hinder
estimation of flow without the Derwent contribution. A sluice allows a maximum
of 5 cumecs to flow into the Derwent when fully open, but can be overtopped.
Daily flows rated by model tests. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Good fit to available gaugings at lower flows but recent high flow
gaugings suggest rating under-estimates high flows and a rating review is
required. Flood Studies Report assumed grade to be A2. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP files v8).
The catchment is classified as suitable for Neither QMED nor Pooling, but could
be used in local studies after careful analysis of catchment area and other
catchment descriptors. | The natural catchment drains part of the North
York Moors. Contributing area varies by +/- 88.8 sq.km because of the artificial
connection to the headwaters of the Derwent. Geology of natural catchment is
Oolite Cornbrash, Oxford Clays and Corallian of the Jurassic Period, which dip
south and are overlain in the east by thick Boulder Clay deposits. No known
catchment changes. | Sea Cut flows are controlled by a sluice; the channel
was artificially extended in the 19th century to join the Derwent, and now acts
as an overflow channel in high flows. |

Velocity area station. Kilgram Bridge acts as a control at low and high
flows. | Velocity area station. Low flow control is exercised by the sill
of Kilgram Bridge 70m d/s. The bridge piers present a sufficient obstruction to
cause critical depth, even at low flows. Road bridge acts as a weir at the very
highest flows. | Good measurement of high flows; some floodplain storage
over the left bank, but all flow is gauged through the section. Daily and peak
flows rated by current meter at a cableway. Two peak flow ratings applied across
period of record. Reasonable fit to available gaugings. Flood Studies Report
grade A1. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Geology: mainly Carboniferous
Limestone with Millstone Grit outliers, with significant Boulder Clay cover. The
stretch from Middleham to Westwick is Millstone Grit Series, though extensively
covered by Alluvium. Rural, predominantly grassland catchment draining from
moorland Pennine headwaters. No known catchment changes. | Fairly natural

Velocity area station gauging a predominantly rural catchment with light
urbanisation in Skipton. | Velocity area station situated in 21m wide
channel d/s of a bend in the river and u/s of the old, arched Kildwick Bridge.
Station provides full range flows. | Bridge arches form the primary
hydraulic control at all levels. Flow is through between one (9.5m wide) and
four (29.5m combined width) of the arches depending on level. Flow begins to
surcharge the arches at different levels. The bridge sills provide the low flow
control; arch soffits partial control at high flows but also influenced by
downstream channel control. The road bridge and steep grassy banks prevent
bypassing, all but the highest discharges are contained. Flood Studies Report
was graded Z in 1975. One peak flow rating applied across period of record.
Increasing scatter in gaugings beyond 1m stage. Gauged to more than 1.5 x QMED
and to 87% of AMAX3. Check gaugings are done at a cableway around 100m
downstream of the bridge. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Geology: mainly
Carboniferous Limestone with some Millstone Grit series, with extensive Boulder
Clay cover. Rural catchment, over three-quarters grassland, draining the eastern
Pennines. The catchment headwaters are undeveloped with moorland. Land use
consists of upland rough grazing, and pasture and light urbanisation in the
valley bottoms (Skipton is the largest town). No known significant catchment
changes. | Between Skipton and Kildwick, there are considerable areas of
washlands, which fill during floods and attenuate downstream flows. Abstraction
for supply is made from reservoirs at Embsay and Elslack and for canal support
at Winterburn. The Leeds-Liverpool Canal can influence the flow pattern but has
a small overall impact. There is a small net export from the catchment. |

Single-crest Crump weir in a small rural catchment with a strong groundwater
influence. Weed growth can be problematic at the station. | Single-crest
Crump profile weir 5.2m wide, between the abutments of a demolished railway
bridge, in a largely artificial section which has been canalised for drainage.
The bed is silty and accretion occurs on the weir apron. Removed from peak flows
dataset in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | Some bypassing of gauge via
West Drain, but all flows at the station are contained within the high wing
walls. Weed growth can cause drowning at low flows, as can water backing up from
the Vale of Pickering. Modular limit estimated at 0.45m, gauged up to 0.21m.
Theoretically rated for daily flows using Crump formula, but this is inaccurate
at high flows. Rating applies from record start. | Long periods of
extensive weed growth can make measured stage and applied rating inapplicable.
Station affected by weed growth causing missing data and suspect flows (e.g.
2000, 2001 & 2006). | Small rural catchment on southern edge of North
York Moors. Geology: permeable Oolitic Limestone, covered by post-glacial
lacustrine clays in south. The upper part is Middle Oolite Grits and Limestone,
which dip south under Upper Oolite; this in turn is covered by post-glacial
lacustrine clays. The groundwater catchment greatly exceeds the topographical
catchment. No known catchment changes. | Variation in flows is limited due
to the dominant groundwater influence; the Beck is largely spring-fed from Keld
Head about 2km u/s. A predominantly natural regime apart from some pumping at
Keldhead spring (for public water supply), and some abstractions/returns from
cress beds and a trout farm. |

Rectangular flume affected by subsidence in the past. | Rectangular
critical-depth flume (throat width 3m, bed-hump 0.3m) in concrete trapezoidal
channel (2:3 side slopes, 5.5m wide). Hump and downstream slopes form the
control. No cableway. Constructed by diversion of river. Mining subsidence
caused the flume to tilt. The flume appears to have been stable since 2002. |
No known bypassing. Two ratings applied across period of record. Theoretical
rating used initially but then structure affected by mining subsidence and
current meter rating developed. First rating applied from July 1970, later
revision only applied from September 1996 due to uncertainty in timing and
impact of subsidence. Rating reviewed in 2019, change due to subsidence deemed
likely to only impact at low flows, a revised rating was developed to combine
low flow limb from 1970-1996 rating (B) with the high flow limb from current
rating (C). This gives improved fit to high flow gaugings, pre-1996 AMAX now
significantly increased. | 1969/70 is only a partial year and likely to
have missed AMAX so peak is rejected. Truncation of early charts due to lack of
range (1970-72) affected three PoT events, peaks estimated for these and
considered reasonable. Pre-1996 high flows reprocessed and increased in 2019 and
now considered reliable. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | A catchment draining a
lowland, predominantly rural catchment southwest of Chesterfield. Draining both
sides of the motorway, the river runs north, close to the M1 for most of its
length. Mixed geology comprising Coal Measures, Permian Marls and Magnesium
Limestone. Predominantly rural catchment. Substantial areas of mining tips with
areas of urbanisation in lower reaches including Bolsover. Decline of coal
mining industry over the period of record. | Large abstractions made
upstream for coal washing affect earlier records, ended with mine closures.
Small net import, including sewage effluent and mine drainage. |

Crump weir installed 1973 with ultrasonics since 2001. Replaces 27015. Poor
flow correlation between the two sites. | Crump weir (20m wide) installed
September 1973. Station replaces 27015 which had poor quality data. Crump weir
supplemented by in-line path ultrasonic gauge for high flow measurement from
9-11-2001. Peak flows from the headwaters are diverted down the Sea Cut (27033).
All data for this site is held against this station number. Larinier fish pass
built adjacent to weir in 2013 and hydro-electric turbine installed in 2017.
Crossed-path multi-path ultrasonic gauge installed 70m upstream of the weir in
2011, this replaces measurement at the weir from 2013. | Crump weir
formula accounts for non-modular flow at approx 55 cumecs (1.2m). This was
verified using gaugings and ultrasonic flow data. The weir drowns at
approximately 1.2m, and is overtopped on the left bank above 1.9m - this may
lead to an under-estimation of flows. However, this is small and extrapolation
is appropriate. A bund upstream ensures floodplain storage returns through
section but flows over 1.9m bypass along a vehicle track and return downstream
of the station. The bypassing was estimated to be around 50-60 cumecs in 2000.
Peak flow rating derived from gaugings, including two from November 2012 which
also included measure of bypass flow and confirm rating extrapolation is good.
Single path ultrasonic gauge replaced by crossed-path multi-path gauge in 2011,
which measures flows up to 1.9m, but some bypassing occurs above this. |
Pre-October 1973 data (monthly only) of poorer quality; derives from 27015.
Overlap between data at 27041 and 27015 is limited and the flow correlation
disappointing. Structure drowned and bypassed in March 1999 & Nov 2000
floods but rating extrapolation does allow for this. Gap in ultrasonics record
4/11/2002 to 30/09/2003. Ultrasonic gauge replaces rated flows from May 2013.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). | Mixed geology. Limestones and sandstones bordering
the Vale of Pickering; Oxford Clay, shale and sandstone to the north, and sands,
clay and gravels in the Vale of Pickering. Rural catchment - moorland and
forestry dominate in northern headwaters which drain North York Moors. Arable
significant in south. No known catchment changes. | Catchment shows a slow
hydrological response and includes a groundwater component with considerable
flood plain storage. Peak flows from the headwaters u/s of Forge Valley
(approximately 6.5% of the catchment) are diverted down the Sea Cut (27033).
Minor net impact of artificial influences (spray irrigation is
appreciable). |

width. Station measures full range flow for water resource management and flood
forecasting / warning. Replaced station 3.3km d/s at 27027 (Ilkley), cableway
for high flow gauging remains at Ilkley. | No bypassing, although
structure overtopped and may drown in large flood events. Theoretical daily flow
rating. Gaugings undertaken at 27027 (Ilkley) cableway 4km d/s, usually 30
minute allowance is made for travel time between the two stations. One peak flow
rating applied across period of record. Validated by current meter
gaugings. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Predominantly natural upland catchment
on Lower Carboniferous Limestone and Shales in the upper catchment and Lower
Carboniferous Grits and Sandstones in the lower catchment near Addingham. Some
Boulder Clay cover and peat in headwaters. Rural catchment, predominantly
moorland and pasture. Grimwith reservoir impounded 1864. | Flashy flow
regime substantially influenced by reservoir operation. Grimwith Reservoir
originally impounded 1864. Enlargement works commenced 1976 and regulation
releases from June 1984. Howvever, there is little impact on high flows.
Significant u/s abstraction at Lobwood (from 1970); at low flows the abstraction
is compensated by releases from Grimwith Reservoir (measured at 27063) so net
impact at Addingham is reduced. |

on Carboniferous Limestone; some Millstone Grit on south-east boundary. Land use
is mostly rough grazing. A habitat restoration project affecting a large
proportion of the catchment began in 2023. | Flashy, natural regime.
Systematic underestimation of rainfall (catch of ground-flush gauge exceeded
standard raingauge by >10%) may contribute to unrealistic 'loss'. Also
possibility of minor increase in runoff due to spring water deriving from
outside the topographical catchment (see geology). |

Compound thin-plate weir. Flows diverted to the Sea Cut (measured at 27033)
at high flows. | Compound thin-plate weir, 11m wide in total, central
notch is 3m wide. | Large drop over weir should exclude drowning.
Theoretical daily and peak flow rating with check gaugings. Flood Studies Report
grade A1. | Various periods of missing data throughout 2010 and 2011 a
result of issues with the stilling well and a bank collapse. Missing data caused
by silting also occurred during 2013 and 2014. Periods of missing data during
2019/2020 due to issues with the stilling well and sensor. | Jurassic
Sandstone, Limestone and Shales. Predominantly rural catchment with substantial
(just under half) forest cover. No known catchment changes. | Catchment
contains swallow holes; significant losses between 27048 and a nearby u/s
monitoring site (Forge Valley). Flow from 70% of the catchment area can be
diverted to the Sea Cut at a diversion structure approx 5km upstream (measured
at 27033). Flow can drop suddenly when the diversion structure is operated and
peak flows are not representative of the full catchment response as a result.
Normal operation is for the sluice to be open and all flow to pass down the
Derwent. |

Flat-V weir in a rural catchment with near-natural, flashy flow regime. |
Flat-V weir (3.5m wide) opened in 1972 near site of masonry weir. No
cableway. Original purpose was for water balance studies by Leeds University.
Subcatchment flows have also been measured by Leeds University. | Flat V
weir, 3.5m wide and design depth 0.175m (height difference from edge to centre).
Wingwall top at 0.97m stage, overtops in very high flows and structure thought
to drown in large floods. No bypassing and theoretical rating thought to give a
good representation of flow throughout the range. Original structure had wooden
wingwalls and may have suffered some structural leakage, these were replaced
with concrete blocks in 1999. Level measurement by primary and secondary shaft
encoders with backup data logger. Limited check gaugings because of access time
and flashy response. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Carboniferous Millstone
Grit sequence Shales and Grits cover three-quarters of the catchment, with the
remaining quarter covered by shales, grits and 'Harrogate roadstones' of the
Carboniferous Yoredale sequence. Small rural catchment, mainly used for pasture.
No known catchment changes. | Flashy flow regime in catchment headwaters.
No known artificial influences. |

Crump weir in a confined channel with no known bypassing. | Crump
weir, 5.98m wide. No cableway. Confined in a straight concrete channel between
road and railway embankments (3m high walls for 200m) in an industrialised
valley. Station is 500m downstream of confluence of River Drone with Barlow
Brook. | No known bypassing. Single daily and peak flow rating applied
across period of record, developed from theoretical Crump rating with current
meter gauging. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Geology: Lower Coal
Measure Standstones and Shales. Broad, gentle syncline is centred almost East
West, along Barlow Beck. Mixed agriculture with moorland headwaters, significant
urban development and industrialised valleys. Declining influence of coal mining
industry since mine closures around 1920. There are numerous abandoned coal
workings. | Estimated 4.3% of catchment drains through Crowhole Reservoir.
Dronfield Dam flood storage reservoir approximately 6km upstream may have some
impact on flood flows. Sewage effluent returns. |

Velocity area station with a riffle control downstream. Catchment heavily
reservoired. | Velocity area station approximately 17m wide. Riffle
control 50m d/s, may be subject to erosion as the bed is rocky and
unstable. | Level measurement began with a pressure recorder, then updated
to a float well when the hut was constructed in Nov 1976. There is some
suspicion that a downstream gravel shoal has moved, possibly on more than one
occasion, altering the stage-discharge relationship. Rated by current meter from
the bridge at the gauging section (September 2012). Daily flow rating revised in
1999 to account for a change in channel dimensions caused by the 1991 flood.
Rating reviewed again in 2014 producing two new ratings pre and post 2009 flood
event. Four peak flow ratings across the period of record. Station will need
regular re-rating due to shifting control. Good fit to available gaugings though
only two above QMED. | Daily flows reworked after a flood in 1991 changed
channel dimensions. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Geology: mostly Millstone Grit,
Sandstones and Shales, with some small inliers of Carboniferous Limestone in
Upper Nidderdale. An east-west fault runs along the line of the river. Rural
catchment, predominantly grassland, moorland headwaters. No known catchment
changes. | Heavily reservoired catchment. Some losses to public water
supply from Angram / Scar House reservoirs. Gouthwaite compensation reservoir
has a substantial effect on flows and is used to maintain dry weather
flows. |

Limited range Crump weir with ultrasonic gauge for high flows. |
Limited range Crump profile weir, 15m wide with 0.4m high walls. Ultrasonic
gauge installed in 2003 to improve measurement of non-modular flows. Station
severely damaged by extreme flood in June 2005 - ultrasonics washed away.
Wingwall extended and ultrasonic replaced in July 2007. D/s levels are
measured. | Wing walls were rebuilt and raised to 1.4m in 2002. No
cableway for check gauging but ADCP is now used at high flows. One peak flow
rating across period of record based on ultrasonic data and gaugings up to to 50
cumecs with hydraulic modelled limbs above this. Very good agreement with
ultrasonic gauge well beyond QMED. | Earlier flows may have small
under-estimation, although still well contained within banks up to 2.3m stage,
so minimal bypass apart from the June 2005 extreme flood. Hydraulic model
estimated extreme flood peak in June 2005 to be 384 cumecs (representing a
monumental event). Data missing June-October 2005 and during reconstruction
(19-06-2006 to 06-07-2007). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Predominantly upland
catchment draining the Cleveland Hills. Geology of Jurassic beds of Oolite and
Lias, dipping southwards. The Liassic beds (mostly shales) form an intier in the
upper part of the catchment with the sandstones and shales of the overlying
Estuarine series forming the high ground around the catchment. No known
catchment changes. | Responsive catchment. Sensibly natural regime, no
known artificial influences. |

Limited range Crump weir in a catchment draining parts of the North York
Moors. | Limited range Crump profile weir, 7m wide. Removed from peak
flows dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP Files v6). | Channel control at
medium and high flows as weir is fully drowned. Low modular limit, higher flows
are only approximate; check gaugings to QMED. Out of bank flow at high stages,
with significant floodplain storage downstream causing variable backwater
influence at the weir. Surcharging bridge u/s at high flows. Theoretical daily
and peak flow rating up to modular limit. Rating does not allow for non-modular
flow reduction or variable backwater and high flow data considered unreliable.
Level gauge upstream in Pickering has been calibrated for flow measurement and
high flow data from this gauge can be used with more confidence. No allowance
for drowning and the few higher gaugings lie off the rating. | |
Catchment drains parts of the North York Moors. Geology: mostly grits and
Limestones of the Corallian. Mixed rural land use; moorland in headwaters,
arable in lower catchment; extensive forestry. No known catchment changes. |
No known artificial influences. |

Crump profile weir with a high modular limit in a predominately rural
catchment. | Crump profile weir, 10m wide. Insensitive at low flows, but a
notch in the stilling basin toe wall could be used for very low flow
measurement. Fish pass with baffles on downstream face of weir installed
September 2015. | High modular limit, subject to bypassing, but all but
highest recorded peaks contained within wingwalls. There is no cableway for
gauging high flows, ADCP can now be used but right bank access is difficult; d/s
levels are not measured. Theoretical daily and peak flow rating applied across
period of record and confirmed by hydraulic modelling. | Anomalous data
17/09/2015-30/09/2015 removed, caused by fish pass installation which affected
levels and derived flows. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | A predominantly rural
catchment below Pennine moorland headwaters. Geology: Mostly Carboniferous
Millstone Grit and Magnesian Limestone, overlain by Boulder Clay cover in lower
(eastern) half of catchment. There are some swallow holes in the lower part of
the catchment. Arable in valley bottoms. No known catchment changes. |
Surface and groundwater abstractions significantly reduce runoff. Flood
alleviation scheme constructed in 2012 includes upstream storage reservoir in
the Laver catchment. This is designed to reduce peak flows above approximately
20 cumecs. |

Full range ultrasonic station since 1999. Previously a flat-V weir, intended
to measure low flows to complement high flow measurement at 27001. |
Full-range multi-path ultrasonic operating since 1999, replaced previous
flat-V weir. The weir was for low flow measurement in conjunction with high flow
data from Hunsingore (27001), which is insensitive at low flows. The weir was
removed in 1999 and station converted to ultrasonic to improve fish passage.
Ultrasonic gauge originally only set to measure up to 100 cumecs, but range
extended after June 2000 event (and before October 2000 event) to cover full
range. Station suffered problems from siltation affecting low flows, until the
trapezoidal channel was built in 2017/18. | Crossed-path multi-path
ultrasonic in trapezoidal channel (installed 2018), replaced previous two-stage
channel configuration (from 2001), rectangular channel configuration (from 1999)
and earlier Flat V weir (12m wide, from 1979). Weir suffered from variable
backwater from the Ouse downstream. Original ultrasonic gauge suffered from
siltation, mainly affected low flows which are thought to be too high as a
result. Section modified and downstream weir removed to reduce sediment
deposition (by increasing velocity) but only partially successful. Full rebuild,
converting channel to a trapezoid in 2017/18 appears to have resolved this
problem. Significant attenuation of peak flows between Hunsingore and Skip
Bridge because of flood plain inundation. Flow measured directly by ultrasonic
gauge, no rating available since weir removal. Several gaugings >75 cumecs
give close agreement with ultrasonic gauge flow. Level measurement by pressure
transducer. | Original Flat V weir rating modified to try to take account
of drowning, flows from 1979 reprocessed and high flows substantially reduced.
High flows from this period (1979-1999) are still considered unsuitable for
flood estimation and are not presented with the peak flows, only ultrasonic peak
flow data is presented (from 1999). Low flow data 1999-2018 considered less
reliable due to impact of sediment deposition in measuring section, several data
gaps in this period also a result of sediment problems. Significant gaps 11/2001
to 05/2002 and 05/2017 to 09/2018 due to site refurbishment. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Geology: Carboniferous Millstone Grits, Permian Marls and Triassic
Sandstones. Predominantly rural, rugged in headwaters. No known catchment
changes. | Heavily reservoired headwaters of the Nidd valley significantly
affect flows; Gouthwaite Reservoir outflows especially significant in low flow
conditions. |

Flat-V weir on the River Went in a low lying, mainly arable, catchment. |
Flat-V weir, 7m wide, 1:10 cross-slope. | All but highest flows
contained. Weir becomes non-modular before QMED, introducing significant
uncertainty at high flows. New rating applied to period of record in 2015
revises the flow to modular limit and provides a higher flow estimate between
0.34 and 0.808m stage, followed by a lower estimate up to bankfull. |
November 2000 was undoubtedly an exceptional event, but the magnitude may be
suspect. Period of record data reprocessed in 2015 after a rating change. |
Geology comprises shales, sandstones and limestones. Low-lying,
predominantly arable catchment with isolated built-up areas. | Pumped
minewater discharge significant prior to 1994 (now ceased). |

Flat-V weir in a steep catchment with substantial urban development. |
Flat-V weir, 1:10 cross-slope, for low flow measurement. Ultrasonic
installed in 2000 for high flow measurement, but performance up to 2007 was
poor. Ongoing investigations (2016-) into gauge level sensor. | Structure
drowns before QMED as a result of backing-up from the Sheaf Screen at the
culvert entrance 100m downstream. There are concerns about the gauge level
sensor performance 2016-present. | Small drop in flows in May 2017 caused
by clearing of screens downstream from the station. | Steep catchment
developed on Carboniferous formations: Millstone Grit and Coal Measures. Very
substantial urban development (Sheffield) below Pennine headwaters. | No

Flat-V weir for low flow measurement on the River Wiske. | Flat-V
weir. New station built 9km upstream (Viewly Bridge), an ultrasonic gauge for
full range measurement, opened 2007. 27069 is continuing for low flow
measurement. | Subject to severe drowning; backing-up from Swale
(downstream weed growth can also affect flows). Reverse flows observed under
high flow conditions. . This inadequacy results in unrealistic runoff volumes
and a spurious water balance. Theoretical rating - modularity assumed. Flows
above 2 cumecs should be treated with considerable caution - many will be
greatly overestimated. | | A low-lying, largely rural catchment
mostly on Permian/Triassic formations (sandstones and mudstones), with extensive
Drift cover. | Effluent returns and spray irrigation affect the flow
regime. |

Data held against this station are a combined record for Leckby Topcliffe
(27008) and Crakehill (27071). Catchment drains the North Yorkshire Dales and
the Vale of York. | Crump profile weir at Crakehill (20m width) for
low-moderate flows, with high flow calibration based on u/s cableway. Gaugings
done using ARC-Boat. Weir was built in a new channel to the left of the natural
one, and the river diverted into it. This station superseded the velocity area
station at Leckby Topcliffe (27008) 3km u/s, which suffered from heavy weed
growth and closed in 1980. | Weir at Crakehill often drowns before levels
reach the top of the wing walls. Flood banks can be breached u/s (left and
possibly the right bank); bypassing may be cause of poor agreement with check
gaugings at high stages. Gauged almost to AMAX1. Three peak flow ratings across
period of record, 1980-1990, 1990-2010, post 2010 to account for the change.
Fish and eel pass installed late 2014, but have negligible impact on weir
discharge. At Leckby Topcliffe, bypassing began at 6.15m over left bank, and
rating changed in 1968 to account for downstream bank erosion. | Following
statistical assessment of continuity, daily and peak flows held against this
station are a combination of Leckby Topcliffe (27008) pre-1980 and Crakehill
(27071) post-1980; POT thresholds prior to merge were 130.858 and 104 cumecs,
respectively. Suspected overestimation of high flows at Leckby. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed at both sites, prior to merger, and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Catchment drains North Yorkshire Dales,
lower catchment in the flat Vale of York. Mixed geology - mainly Limestones,
Sandstones (especially below Richmond) and Shales; substantial superficial
deposits, predominantly Boulder Clay. Moorland and grassland in headwaters, Vale
of York has substantial arable cover. No known catchment changes. |
Sensibly natural regime, flashy response. No known artificial influences
recorded against either of the merged sites. |

Crump weir in a permeable catchment. Flow regime strongly dependent on
groundwater contribution. | Formal Crump Weir, 5.5m wide, built over a
drainage culvert. There is a concrete apron 3-4m u/s of the weir. A drain runs
beneath the gauge, receiving drainage from low lying land adjacent to Brompton
Beck. | Full range and modular. No drowning due to a large (>3m) d/s
drop to the Derwent. Single theoretical peak flow rating applied across period
of record. Gauged to within 25% of AMAX1, all flow contained within wing
walls. | Artificial drop in flow in July 2003; cause unknown but upstream
damming or abstraction likely, investigation failed to identify the cause. Gap
in data Aug-Oct 1988, cause unknown. Gap Jul-Aug 2002, suspect data was deleted.
Short gap Jun 2003 due to instrument fault. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A mainly
permeable (Corallian) catchment, with Jurassic Calcareous grits in the upper
part of the catchment, Alluvium in the Vale of Pickering overlying Kimmeridge
clay. Rural, predominantly arable. Surface and groundwater catchments may differ
considerably due to a large groundwater component to the catchment. No known
catchment changes. | Stable and sensibly natural regime, although
groundwater abstraction may influence the regime. The flow is largely dependent
on flow from two Corallian Limestone springs in Brompton, augmented in wet
weather by land drainage inflow. |

Crump weir in a largely urban catchment. | Crump Weir. |
Downstream recorder, but processed flows assume modularity; backing-up from
the Calder causes occasional drowning. | | A largely urban
catchment developed mostly on Coal Measures. | Sewage effluent component
evident on hydrograph but since beginning of 1999 artificial influences have
been greatly reduced - closure of STWs and reduction of mine water discharges
upstream; major impact on low flows and significant reduction in runoff. |

Flat-V weir in a heavily urbanised catchment on Bradford Beck. |
Flat-V weir, 1:10 cross-slope in a relatively steep channel. | Weir
drowns below QMED, so high flows are unreliable. There is a downstream level
recorder, but processed flows assume modularity. New rating applied in 2015 -
upper limb reduced from 2m to 1.2m to reflect the modular limit. Flow is
calculated above 1.2m but flagged as estimated. | Flows reprocessed in
2015 after new rating implemented. | A heavily urbanised catchment. |
Some import of water (storm overflows which make for an even flashier
regime) otherwise net effect of abstractions and discharges is small. |

Sidelooker that replaced a multi-path ultrasonic station opened in 1986,
replacing 27004. Catchment is heavily reservoired and affected by complex water
transfers. | Sidelooker since Nov 2021. Previously, multi-path ultrasonic
gauging station positioned on a long straight reach around 45m wide, between
flood banks. Primary gauging station on the River Calder, measures full range of
flow. Constructed in 1986 but ultrasonic gauge records only available from June
1988, replaced earlier station at Newlands (27004) which closed in 1975. |
Multi-path ultrasonic gauge in 45m wide section with raised embankments to
4m stage, no known by-passing. No formal control and variable backwater from
confluence with Aire 1.8km downstream. Very low velocities at low flow affecting
check gauging accuracy, also thermal stratification affecting ultrasonic gauge
in summer. Regular pulsing in velocity observed at low flows, possibly due to
boat movements. High suspended solids and long path lengths can cause signal
attenuation at high flow, a number of periods infilled from back up rating.
Various gauging locations over period of record, originally at cableway at
Newlands, subsequently from road bridge d/s of gauge and recently by ArcBoat in
gauge section. Some variability in gaugings due to lack of formal control but
rating is considered reasonable to use as back up for data infilling when
required. Gauged to 70% of AMAX1. Gauge may have been affected by mining
subsidence during the period of operation. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Catchment draining the eastern flank of the Pennines. The impermeable
geology is predominantly Upper Carboniferous Millstone Grit. Headwaters rise
from rough-grazed, peat-covered moorland. Very steep, often-wooded headwater
valleys cut down through Millstone Grit. The valley floors are strongly
urbanised and industrialised. Significant urbanisation throughout period of
record. Coal mining activity in the lower reaches but this has subsequently
declined in recent years. Flood relief channel built at Dewsbury. | Heavy
influence of reservoirs, estimated 9.3% of catchment area drains through 21
impoundments. Complicated water transfer plan and significant effluent returns.
Sluice/weir systems on the River Aire may influence levels at Methley. |

Triangular Crump weir with fish pass. Replaced Fleet Weir. All data held
against this station number. | Triangular Crump weir (approx. 27m wide)
with fish pass. No cableway. In 1993 it replaced Fleet Weir 320m u/s. Fleet
Weir, built 1985, is a 35m wide Crump weir with a fish pass (not used). Fleet
Weir drowns as a result of backing up from Lemonroyd. Both gauges are located
downstream of Leeds but upstream of the major confluence with the Calder. A
serious bank breach in March 1988 inundated the adjacent open cast coal mine and
was attributed to geological fault. After the breach Lemonroyd was built in a
3km long, S-shaped cut through meandering river channel, further from opencast
mine. Fleet Weir had shown evidence of movement prior to the inundation event.
All data (for 27080 and Fleet Weir) held against this station number. Flows
above Qmed are diverted >600m u/s of gauge through St Aidens Washland, flows
return to the Aire downstream of the gauge. The offtake to the washland was
completed in 2012 (although the washland used prior to this). | Crump weir
with high modular range, no known drowning and all flows retained within the
structure. Construction of St Aidans washland upstream does now cause some
bypassing of Oulton Lemonroyd Weir during flood flows above QMED. This bypass is
stored in large washland area and returns downstream of the weir. Low and medium
flows not affected by the offtake. Aire and Calder Navigation canal bypasses the
station. Gauging originally carried out by boat at low to moderate levels,
higher flows were gauged from the upstream footbridge and now by ADCP upstream
of the weir. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the first
applies to the data from Fleet Weir and the more recent is valid from August
1995. Recent rating shows a good fit to gaugings. | Data for 06/09/1985 to
11/08/1995 from Fleet Weir; 11/08/1995 to present from 27080. All data held
against this station number. December 2015 flood peak thought to have been
significantly delayed and reduced as a result of flow into the St Aidan's
washland upstream. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Largely impervious catchment developed
mainly on Carboniferous Limestone (headwaters), Millstone Grit and Lower Coal
Measures. Extensive superficial deposits, predominantly Boulder Clay. Rough
grazing in Pennine headwaters contrasts with very considerable urban and
industrial development (Leeds and Bradford conurbation) below Skipton. General
increase in areas of development in mid to lower catchment through period of
record. | Significant urban development in the catchment and complex
pattern of water utilisation, including canals and wastewater discharges gives
significant disturbance to runoff regime. Leeds and Bradford sewage treatment
works discharge upstream, there is a net import of water from Wharfe and Nidd
catchments for public water supply. |

Flat-V weir. Catchment highly urbanised and industrialised. | Flat-V
weir, 5m wide (1:10 cross-slope) in steep-sided, straight channel. No cableway.
May be subject to accretion and bank encroachment but well maintained and should
not affect high flow ratings. | High concrete wing-walls prevent
bypassing. Substantial modular range, drops away quickly over a cascade of weirs
downstream of the gauge. Downstream level recorder suggests station remains
modular in all events. One peak flow rating applied across period of record.
Theoretical rating with current meter check gaugings from bridge. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | A small, relatively low-lying impervious (Coal Measures)
catchment with significant urban/suburban development on the periphery of Leeds.
Catchment is traversed by both the M1 and M62. Increasing urbanisation during
period of record. | Stormwater drainage in part of the catchment but very
few abstractions or discharges. An outfall draining a large urban area joins the
beck just downstream of the station. |

Flat-V weir on Cundall Beck that drains to the Swale. | Flat-V weir,
1:10 cross-slope (replaced the original sharp-edged weir). | Weir drowns
at ~0.7cumecs (below QMED), introducing significant uncertainty into higher
flows. | Similar low flows to the 1997 7-day minimum recorded in 1990 and
1995. | A low-lying, relatively flat catchment - developed on
Permo-Triassic sandstones - draining to the Swale. Land use: dominantly
agricultural. | Flow regime is largely natural. Flow augmentation scheme
from boreholes tested late 1980s and early 1990s but never fully implemented.
Impact on flows thought to be very limited. |

Side-looking H-ADVP gauging station 4km u/s of the Foss barrier. |
Side-looking H-ADVP gauging station 4km u/s of the Foss barrier. Until 2009,
the station was an electromagnetic gauge - a buried coil in an insulated
trapezoidal channel. The side-looker and electromagnetic gauge ran in parallel;
and from 2009 the H-ADVP data are used for daily flows. Stage-discharge rating
for peak flows. No cableway. | Open channel section. Most flood events
contained with just some minor out of bank flow on right bank, exception is
December 2015 which had extensive spill on both banks. Original records were
from electromagnetic gauge, supplemented with stage-discharge rating for some
high flow events. Side looking H-ADVP gauge with velocity-index rating from
2009. A peak flow rating, checked independently with current meter gauging, is
used for peak flows. | Daily mean flow records are from the EM gauge (with
occasional infill from stage-discharge rating) until Sep 2009, after which the
velocity-index gauge is used. Peak flows taken from rating curve for period of
record. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2019 (WINFAP Files v8). Drops in summer flows (for example, June 2018, July
2019, May 2020 and Sept 2020) are likely due to weed growth so these flows
should be treated as suspect. | Relatively low lying catchment. Headwaters
on Yearsley Moor but catchment is mostly located in Vale of York. Mixed geology
overlain with Boulder Clay and lacustrine clays. Predominantly arable, with some
urban development above station. No known catchment changes. | Low lying
rural headwaters give relatively slow response to rainfall, urban development in
lower reaches causes some addition from surface water drainage diverted into
catchment at high flows and effluent discharges via Walbutts STW. |

Flat-V weir in a steep Pennine catchment with a natural regime. |
Concrete flat-V weir (14m wide) in widened channel upstream of confluence
with R Aire. | All flows contained, no known bypassing. Backing-up from
the River Aire (confluence <100m downstream) causes drowning at high flows;
d/s levels monitored but processed flows assume modularity - downstream water
levels indicate that there was a hydraulic gradient over the weir for all AMAX
values (where data were available), but not some POTs. Theoretical peak flow
rating applied across period of record. Good fit to available gaugings. |
Tree on weir affected data in Mar/Apr 2004, period in Oct 2006 affected by
silt partially blocking stilling well, suspect rise in May 2008 for same reason,
along with period Jul-Oct 2015. Level may be under-recorded on 31/10/2000, the
downstream gauge recorded a level 0.3m higher than the upstream gauge. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP
Files v11). | Steep Pennine catchment draining to the Aire, developed on
Millstone Grit, with extensive Boulder Clay cover. Largely moorland with rough
grazing the principal land use. Continuing increase in urbanisation through
period of record in the lower catchment (Crosshills). | Natural regime. No
known artificial influences. |

Horizontal ADCP (sidelooker) gauging station in a catchment draining the
Vale of York. | Electromagnetic gauging station, replaced with sidelooker
at end of 2018. No cableway. | The electromagnetic gauge failed at the end
of 2018 and was disconnected. Now gauged using a side looking ADCP within the
same reach. Affected by backing-up from the Swale. | Data
23/11/2014-03/12/2014 & 04/01/2015-21/01/2015 missing due to problems with
the electromagnetic coil. Flow data suspect from 25/07/20 - 11/08/2020 (and
possibly 20-25/08/2020) as H-ADCP performance affected by weed growth in
channel, causing spurious velocity data. | A linear, N-S trending,
catchment draining largely Lower Lias formations in the Vale of York (but
baseflow from the Corallian of the Hambleton Hills also important). Apart from
Thirsk, a very rural catchment. | A sensibly natural regime but spray
irrigation can affect summer flows, particularly in drought years. |

Flat-V weir built to replace original mill weir in 1984. Station closed July
2010 - December 2012 due to construction of Ripon flood alleviation scheme,
re-opened December 2012 at new location 60m upstream. | Flat-V weir opened
1984 (1:20 cross-slopes, 25m wide). Replaced original Alma Weir. Offtake to
Ripon Canal feeder is u/s. Station closed July 2010 - due to construction of
Ripon flood alleviation scheme, reopened December 2012 with new structure 60m
u/s of old site. New weir is lower and expected to drown in high flows.
Ultrasonics installed July 2014 to measure high flows. | Original (1984)
weir had substantial modular range and did not drown. Thought to be reasonably
accurate until (occasionally) overtopped during large events, however no
cableway for check gauging. Considerable accretion on u/s apron. Theoretical
rating developed for new structure and applied from 22/11/2012. It has a lower
modular range and is expected to drown in large events. Subject to skewed
cross-section due to deposition. Ultrasonic gauge installed here 2014 to measure
non-modular flows but performance has been poor so not currently used for peak
flow records. Two peak flow ratings cover period of record, for the original
weir from 1984 and the new weir from 2012. Good fit to available gaugings. Tail
recording by pressure transducer. | No daily flow data for July
2010-December 2012 due to construction of Ripon flood alleviation scheme.
Pre-2010 data reprocessed in 2014 after rating review, including hydraulic
modelling to estimate out of bank flow. Records from December 2012 are at new
location 60m upstream of original station. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Geology:
Millstone Grit and Magnesian Limestone with Boulder Clay in lower catchment. A
predominantly rural catchment below moorland (Pennine) headwaters, although
Ripon is just u/s of station. No major arable farming in catchment. Significant
change in land use with the urban development of Ripon. | Swallow holes
u/s of Laver/Skell confluence greatly reduce summer flows. Flood storage
reservoir constructed on Laver upstream in 2012 will cause some attenuation of
peak flows. Flow regime impacted by Ripon canal feeder. |

Electromagnetic gauge replaced with ultrasonic in low gradient channel,
affected by backwater from Rye confluence downstream (can even flow backwards at
high flows) and diversion of high flows out of upper catchment via Sea Cut. |
Electromagnetic gauge in trapezoidal section with vertical abutments above,
13.5m wide at top water level, provides full range flow measurement. Station was
replaced with an ultrasonic gauging station in June 2022. |
Electromagnetic gauge with overhead coil set across old railway bridge
abutments. Section has a trapezoidal channel, 8m wide at bed and 13.5m wide at
top, with vertical brick abutments above. Weedgrowth in section does not affect
the gauge. Confluence with Rye 2.7km d/s leads to significant backwater and can
cause flow reversal in flood as Rye peaks earlier than Derwent. Diversion of
flood flows from upper catchment via Sea Cut. Early problems with siltation of
tapping pipe largely resolved by installation of new pipe at higher level but
have occasionally reoccurred. Cableway allows check gauging to high level, 2
highest gaugings around 20% above flow recorded by the gauge but other gaugings
are more consistent. No stable stage-discharge relation is possible due to
variable backwater, direct flow measured by the gauge is used throughout the
range. | Flow regularly drops to zero ahead of the peak during flood
events, thought to be due to higher flow inputs from the Rye pushing back up
into the Derwent; the gauge cannot record negative flow and flat lines at zero;
peak flows on the Derwent likely to be a combination of catchment runoff and
water from the Rye draining back out of storage, the majority of AMAX events
affected in this way. Station added to peak flows dataset in September 2022
(WINFAP Files v11). | The catchment drains the eastern part of the North
York Moors. Geology: mostly permeable Oolite and Corallian formations,
superficial deposits (lacustrine clays) in low-lying areas in south. Largely
rural with moorland and wooded headwaters, predominantly arable in lower
reaches. No known catchment changes. | Strong baseflow influence on the
flow regime; largely natural regime but some losses from spray irrigation in
summer and Sea Cut diversion reduces the contributing catchment area by 20% at
high flows (measured at 27033). |

Velocity-index gauge in a steep Pennine catchment. Previously velocity-area
and ultrasonic gauge. | Originally called Caldene Bridge, name changed to
Mytholmroyd in 2008. Gauge changed significantly following construction of flood
alleviation scheme in the town, which has previously suffered significant flood
damages e.g. Dec 2015 flood. Originally multi-path ultrasonic in 10m wide
channel for daily flows and velocity area rated section for peak flows, but
rating used for all flows from October 2017 until gauge removed in June 2018 to
allow construction of defences. Replacement gauge measures stage data in same
location as original gauge near Caldene Bridge but flows are measured by
velocity-index gauge at new site 600m upstream. | No formal control and no
cableway present. Full range station but ultrasonic suffered signal attenuation
due to suspended solids / entrained air in flood conditions. Flow is contained
by high walls to around 3.9m stage, the largest flood events have small amount
of bypass on the left bank and the December 2015 event was much higher than
previous maximum and led to significant by-pass flow along Burnley Road on the
left bank. Ultrasonic prone to failure at high flows so peak flow records
derived from rated flow. One peak flow rating applied to record up to June 2018,
this was revised in 2017 following review and hydraulic modelling and is thought
to give a reasonably good estimate of peak flows including out of bank events.
Since construction of flood defence scheme new bed-mounted velocity-index gauge
installed in straight section under old packhorse bridge (Hawksclough Bridge),
calibrated with check gaugings up to 40 cumecs as of April 2024. | Daily
flows August-September 2007 should be considered suspect. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). Data not
available from July 2018 until September 2022 due to Flood Alleviation Scheme
works at the site. | Steep, Pennine catchment with extensive moorland
draining the eastern flank of the Pennines, above Halifax. Mostly Carboniferous
Millstone Grit, with peat cover in headwaters. Predominantly moorland and
pasture, but heavily urbanised and forested along the lower-lying river valleys.
The valley floors are strongly urbanised and industrialised, including Todmorden
and Hebden Bridge. Continued increases in urbanisation. | Heavily
reservoired. Estimated 21.4% of catchment area drains through around 8
impoundments. Net export of water; Hebden Water Reservoirs provide supply to
Halifax. Effluent and (minor) minewater discharge can affect flow pattern.
Offtake into Rochdale Canal can also reduce flows. |

Multi-path ultrasonic station. Early problems with siltation. Originally
intended to replace 27002 but poor early performance meant both stations still
open. | Multi-path ultrasonic gauging station (cross configuration)
installed in 1990 just u/s of tidal limit of the Wharfe. Bed scouring during
1991 flood necessitated recalibration. Initial problems with sand deposition due
to over-wide channel. 27089 planned to replace 27002 (Flint Mill) but both
stations have been retained. Cableway moved to here from Wetherby. | Only
known bypass in Dec 2015 event, although does regularly overtop the banks d/s.
Attenuation of ultrasonic signal can be a problem in summer due to low velocity
and thermal stratification of river. Rating for infilling gaps in ultrasonic
data revised in 2014 and is used as a backup only. At peak flows (>150
cumecs) data are verified by current metering and a rating curve is sometimes
applied in preference to the ultrasonic data; station rated excellent for high
flow measurement. | Low flows in May-June 2008, due to issues with
Ultrasonic equipment, were infilled from the rating but should be treated with
caution. Rating used to infill ultrasonic data gaps revised in 2014 and slightly
increases low flows and decreases high flows by 10-15%. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Mainly Carboniferous Limestone, grits and Coal Measures, some Magnesian
Limestone above Tadcaster. Signifcant outcrops of Boulder Clay and some alluvial
deposits in valleys. Largely rural catchment - moorland, Pennine headwaters,
arable farming and some urban development in the lower catchment. No known
catchment changes. | Regulation effect of headwater reservoirs evident at
low flows, small net export of water. |

Velocity area station with four-path ultrasonics to monitor low flows.
Replaced 27024 (closed 1980) from 1992. | Velocity area station with
cableway and four-path ultrasonic gauge to monitor low flows. Old road bridge
d/s acts as control at high flows. Superseded 27024 (Richmond) from 1992. 27024
was closed in 1980. | Ultrasonic equipment available to measure low flows
but ratings provides a reasonable fit to available gaugings and is used as the
primary data source. Two peak flow ratings across period of record. |
Flows from 1991 reprocessed in 2002 - all flows reduced. New rating in 2014
(applied back to 2009) had no effect on high flows. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Typical responsive Pennine catchment. Mixed geology, mostly of moderate
permeability - overlain by peat in headwaters and Boulder Clay in lower
catchment. Mostly upland pasture with some afforestation (and considerable
gripping). No known catchment changes. | Abstraction for MOD camp u/s;
otherwise natural regime. |

Multi-path ultrasonic station in a permeable catchment in the North York
Moors. Replaced Esk at Sleights (27050); combined record held at
Briggswath. | Multi-path ultrasonic station installed at Briggswath in a
stable, 30m wide channel in 1992. Gauge has a tendency to drop out on the rising
limb of the hydrograph, due to long path lengths and high suspended solids.
Station replaced 27050 (Sleights, closed January 1998) in 1992, which was a
velocity area station with a broad-crested masonry weir and a fish pass on left
bank. | Five ratings across the period of record (three for Sleights data,
two for Briggswath data). At Briggswath, there is the same limb for peak flows
but different lower flow limbs due to an HEP abstraction downstream at Ruswarp
weir from 2012 altering the low flow control. The ultrasonic gauge is not
affected by the HEP, at low flow the rating is just used for infilling gaps. The
high flow rating is not affected by the HEP and is still used in preference to
the ultrasonic for peak flows. Cableway gaugings extend to a reasonable level.
At Sleights, the weir (25m wide) had a 1m long crest (5.59mAOD) and a fish pass
(11.73m wide and 0.71m lower). Low flows were contained in the fish pass that
was restored in 1993 but with no change to the rating. Largest events at
Sleights were out of bank. | Following statistical assessment of
continuity, mean and peak flow data are combined records for Sleights (27050)
and Briggswath (27092); POT thresholds prior to merge were 59.986 and 57.784,
respectively. Full period of record data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Permeable headwaters (Jurassic limestone of the North
York Moors) thence mainly Middle Oolite and Middle Lias; extensive Drift cover.
A rural catchment with moorland headwaters. No known catchment changes. |
Responsive and sensibly natural flow regime with no known artificial
influences noted at either of the merged sites. |

Ultrasonic gauge with velocity-area rating for low flows, in low lying
catchment draining western flanks of the North York Moors. | Crossed-path
multi-path ultrasonic gauge in rectangular section under bridge, with informal
flat V weir downstream for low flow control. | Ultrasonic gauge performs
well at medium and higher flows but performance is poor at lower flows. The flat
V weir has a rating curve which performs well at low flows, so flows are derived
from this below 0.6m stage (3.4 cumecs) and from the ultrasonic gauge above
this. Gauged to within 40% of QMED. Some minor by-passing through adjacent flood
arches in very large events. | Data should be treated with caution from
10/2018 onwards due to sediment deposition impacting the operation of the
gauge. | A low-lying, largely rural catchment mostly on Permian/Triassic
formations (sandstones and mudstones), with extensive Drift cover. |
Effluent returns and spray irrigation abstractions have some impact on the
flow regime. |

Velocity area station draining from the North Yorkshire Moors. |
Velocity area station in Pickering. Replaces 27056 for peak flow used only.
Station added to peak flows dataset in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Velocity area station with open channel control. Rated by gaugings,
supported by hydraulic model for high flow extrapolation. Gauged well above QMED
and to within 12% of AMAX3. Flows are contained within channel to around 16
cumecs at the gauge section, spills out on the right bank above this but no
bypassing and all flow is accounted for by the rating curve. Two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. | June 2007 peak is significantly
higher than other AMAX events. It is possible this peak was truncated at top of
instrument measurement range, although any measurement error is considered to be
very small. | Catchment drains parts of the North York Moors. Geology:
mostly grits and Limestones of the Corallian. Mixed rural land use; moorland in
headwaters, arable in lower catchment; extensive forestry. Only known catchment
changes are flood alleviation measures upstream. | Flood alleviation
measures upstream since 2015, including a flood storage reservoir with
restricted outflow culvert and natural flood management measures (woody debris
dams, floodplain tree planting, blocking moorland drains). |

Open channel section with ultrasonic gauge, draining upland catchment in
central Pennines. | Open channel section in deep valley with natural
gravel control. Ultrasonic supported by rating curve. Station added to peak
flows dataset in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Ultrasonic gauge for
daily flows but lowest flows (below 1 cumec) are below the range of the gauge
and are infilled from the rating. Gauge frequently drops out due to aeration /
turbulence at high flows so high flow record is taken from the rating curve.
Gauged to within 40% of AMAX1 but flows are well contained with no bypassing.
Gravel control has shifted previously, two ratings apply since start of record
to account for this change. Regular gauging required to monitor future control
changes. | Several periods of record infilled with data from rating curve,
including very low and very high flows. | Predominantly natural upland
catchment on Lower Carboniferous Limestone and Shales. Some Boulder Clay cover
and peat in headwaters. Rural catchment, predominantly moorland and
pasture. | Flashy flow regime. |

Velocity area station upstream of long, broad-crested mill weir. |
Velocity area station, with an approximately 150m wide broad crested mill
weir set at a shallow angle to river flow just downstream. A H-ADVP velocity
meter was also operated at the site from 2009 to 2017 with a velocity index
rating. Station added to peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Relatively straight approach channel to the level gauge located on
the right bank. However the width and shallow angle of the weir are likely to
lead to a variation in head between the right (upstream) and left (downstream)
sides of the structure and it is relatively insensitive to changes in flow.
Modular range is uncertain but rated by check gaugings up to QMED and
extrapolated above. A single rating curve applies to period of record and gives
a good fit to the gaugings. | | Catchment draining the east side of
the Pennines. Geology comprises predominantly Carboniferous Limestone in the
headwaters down to Skipton with Millstone Grit in the lower catchment. Largely
rural headwaters, more urban and industrial development in the lower catchment.
Some influence from reservoirs and flood attenuation washlands. | Fairly
natural regime, rural headwaters but with increasing urbanisation in the lower
valley (including Skipton, Crosshills, Keighley) and several small reservoirs in
the catchment. Washlands with raised embankments around Skipton and Cononley
provide attenuation to some flood peaks. |

Ultrasonic velocity-area station replaced level-only station in 2000.
Catchment is heavily reservoired. | Ultrasonic gauge with additional
velocity area rating, built October 2000. Situated on a meander 30m wide, around
0.6km d/s of where the Dewsbury Flood Defence Channel rejoins the River Calder.
Man-made channel with vertical sided masonry walls, open out to wider channel at
around 2.3m stage, wider channel also has vertical sides. Natural channel was
canalised in early 1970s (finished end of 1974). Replaced existing river
level-only station. Level-only station built in April 1964, and had a pressure
transducer from 1975. Station number previously 27835. | Ultrasonic gauge
with rating curve based on check gaugings. Ultrasonic used for daily flow
records, rating is used to infill periods where ultrasonic data is missing for
daily flows. Rating curve has proved more reliable in flood events and is now
used as the main source for peak flow data. High vertical walls contain all
flows in the section, no known bypassing. | Records pre October 2000 are
derived from the rating curve, after that date daily flows are primarily from
the ultrasonic gauge but peak flows all derived from rating. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Catchment draining the eastern flank of the Pennines. The geology
is predominantly Upper Carboniferous Millstone Grit but includes Lower Coal
Measures. Headwaters rise from peat-covered moorland. From rough grazing, very
steep, often wooded headwater valleys cut down through Millstone Grit. The
valley floors are strongly urbanised and industrialised. Increasing urbanisation
in valley bottom towns. | Catchment is heavily reservoired, mainly by
small impoundments, but including Walshaw Dean. Estimated 12.2% of catchment
drains through around 20 reservoirs. Some abstraction to supply Yorkshire Grid.
Also affected by sewage treatment works discharges, leads to diurnal variations
in flow. |

Full range multi-path ultrasonic gauge. Flood flows from upper part of
catchment diverted to the Sea Cut (measured at 27033). | Full range
multipath ultrasonic gauge, installed in 2001 under the A64 road bridge. Flood
flows from the upper catchment diverted to the Sea Cut (measured at 27033). |
Ultrasonic gauge in relatively straight approach channel. Transducers
mounted on sloping racks up to bankfull with higher paths in vertical racks on
bridge piers. Some flow behind piers in flood conditions is allowed for in the
gauge calculations. Bankfull stage given is channel bank, but all flows
contained by higher embankments set back on floodplain. | Issues with the
ultrasonic gauge 19/02/10 to 26/04/10, data during this period inaccurate and
marked as suspect. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Permeable catchment draining the
southern slopes of the North Yorkshire moors, geology consists of Sandstones,
grits and limestone of the Middle Oolites overlain by clay in the lower
catchment. Contributing catchment area varies due to Sea Cut diversion.
Extensive floodplain upstream of gauge. No known catchment changes. |
Relatively slow response catchment with significant baseflow component.
Artificial influences on flow include straightened sections and drainage for
agriculture upstream of the Rye confluence. Flood flows from 88.8 sq.km of the
Derwent headwaters are diverted (~6% of the catchment) via the Sea Cut (27033) -
relatively small impact downstream of Rye confluence. |

Two shallow flumes with a whaleback divide. Long naturalised series for the
Derwent. | Two shallow profile trapezoidal flumes with a whaleback divide
since 1936; compound sharp-edged weir previously. Below a cascade of 3
reservoirs (built in 1912, 1916, 1946). | Within basin diversions (Ashop)
and imports (Noe); PWS exports. Flume resurfacing works completed in August 2022
returned measurement to original modelled flume rating. For record prior to 2022
a different rating applies as due to impact of poor flume surface. | Long
naturalised series available. Monthly naturalised flows 1905-1950 derived from a
different source. | Steep moorland catchment, with extensive hilltop peat.
Shale and sandstone form the lower parts of the valleys, gritstone tops the
hills (Middle Carboniferous). | Flow regime is dominated by Ladybower
reservoir outflow. Regular compensation flow for large proportion of each year
while reservoirs are not spilling. |

Non-standard broad crested weir by-passed at high flows but providing
accurate flows at lower levels - replaced a side contracted flume in 1994.
Heavily influenced by Blithfield reservoir. | Originally a side contracted
flume with pilot tube tapping. Since 1994 a permanent non-standard, broad
crested weir. Pre-barrage fish pass downstream of the weir. | Station
bypassed above 13.3 cumecs. Various methods used to rate the flume: temporary
sharp-edged weir, formula, current meter and floats. Heavily influenced by
Blithfield Reservoir, built in 1952. Naturalised flow series available. Gauged
within structure using waded or roped ADCP. Flows have been known to be affected
by in-channel and marginal vegetation both up and downstream, though is
managed. | Early data is from before the reservoir impounded and therefore
does not form a continuous series with present-day records. Post-reservoir data
added to the holdings in v12 but rejected for flood estimation. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Catchment mainly drains Keuper Marl and subordinate sandstone, but
widely blanketed with Boulder Clay and glacial sand and gravel. Land use mixed
farming. Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.998, post-reservoir FARL is 0.873. |
Blithfield reservoir built in 1952 - heavily influences the catchment
(controls 75% of catchment area). |

Simple Crump profile weir constructed in 1993 to replace VA gauge subject to
backwater influence and weed growth. | Simple Crump profile weir, 8.5m
wide, located just upstream of Minworth WRW and trunk sewerage system. Site
constructed in 1993 to replace VA gauge subject to backwater influence and weed
growth. Channel re-graded in 1974 - channel control became unstable. | The
low weir drowns and flow can overtop wing walls. Affected by turbulence.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from February-1993 when crump weir constructed. Gaugings show more scatter
at low flows. | Peak flow data 1982-1992 rejected due to abandonment of
flow processing during unstable channel period. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Almost
fully urbanised catchment of moderate relief in Birmingham. Solid geology:
Mercia Mudstone, but subordinate to extensive cover of Boulder Clay and glacial
sands and gravel. | Fast responding catchment with effluent baseflow and
substantial regime disturbance from imports. |

Velocity area station closed in 1984. Measurement recommenced at Hopwas
Bridge (28095) a short distance upstream in 2001. Substantial flow modification
from large imports and industrial/agricultural abstraction. | Velocity
area station Replaced by Hopwas (28095) a short distance upstream. |
Cableway spans river channel only; no measurement of bypassing on rb where
there is a broad floodplain. One rating applied across period of record. Never
satisfactorily gauged beyond limit of cableway (bankfull). Severe summer weed
growth requires rating shifts as flows below bankfull are subject to large
error. | High flows from the site should be treated with caution. |
Substantially urbanised catchment; containing much of Birmingham City and
mixed farming land use. Geology dominated by Keuper Marl and Permian and
Triassic Sandstones overlain by Boulder Clay and glacial sand and gravel in

Velocity area station with broad floodplain with runoff affected by
reservoirs, effluent returns and groundwater abstraction/recharge. |
Velocity area station with broad floodplain. Removed from peak flows dataset
in May 2016 (WINFAP Files v4). | High flows measured by current meter from
bridge - all flows contained through bridge. Station suffers from a shifting
downstream control and bed movements have rendered the site unsuitable for the
processing of flows in recent years, with lots of variation evident in the
gaugings taken. The station has a broad floodplain on the left bank and out of
bank flows occur readily. A canal aqueduct downstream of the site may control
flood levels and flows. Wide scatter is evident in spot gaugings at all
levels. | | Moderate catchment relief, significant urban fraction
in upper catchment (Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme). Keuper Marl. Rural
except for Potteries. | Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff. Runoff
influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Runoff increased by effluent
returns. |

Sidelooker horizontal ADCP, using index velocity method to derive flows from
15/02/2008 onwards. Velocity Index gauge replaced multipath cross-configuration
Ultrasonic Time of Flight gauge in 1991. Prior to 1991, gauge had a
non-operational velocity-area rating which was not suitable to process flow due
to being subject to variable backwater influence of the River Derwent and weed
growth. | Index-Velocity station in the navigable Trent. Main channel
approximately 45m wide. Gauged using ADCP boat. Station re-opened in the peak
flows dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Originally a VA
station but prone to error due to variable backwaters. Multipath
cross-configuration Ultrasonic Time of Flight station installed 1991. Four major
flood relief culverts on right bank and one major culvert on left bank. Velocity
Index station since 2008 has been fully calibrated to highest flood flows which
includes all bypass flow in a two wage index velocity equation and can be used
with confidence across the full flow range from this date onwards. Original TOF
gauge (1991 to 2008) did not record out of bank flows accurately as large areas
of unmeasured bypass flow. Given the low frequency of such flow during the TOF
gauged record an attempt was made to estimate flow at flows above bankfull.
Flows are considered accurate based on extrapolation of recent high flow bypass
gaugings. Early high flow current meter gaugings appear inaccurate compared to
ADCP flood gaugings. | Chart record commences 01/01/1955 with a complete
record. Digital record commences 31/12/1982. Station could reliably be used for
level only POT from 1955 to 1991, hence POT flow record commences 1991. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | Large catchment which contains much of Birmingham City. The
Trent headwaters have small outcrops of Coal Measures whilst the Dove catchment
is dominated by Millstone Grit and Carboniferous Limestone. Approx 25% of the
catchment is overlain by Boulder Clay, 10% valley gravels, terraces and
alluvium. Drift free areas are largely Keuper Marl and sandstone. Diverse land
use from moorland to industrial. | Very substantial flow modifications
owing to imports, WRW, cooling water and industrial usage. Reservoir(s) in
catchment affect runoff. Regulation from surface water and/or ground water.
Runoff reduced by public water supply abstraction and increased by effluent
returns. Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. |

Velocity area station with old mill weir acting as a rather insensitive
control. | Velocity area station approximately 19.8m wide. Hydro-electric
power scheme and larinier fish pass added to control structure in 2011. |
Station bypassed when out of bank (3-4 times per year). Weir crest prone to
algal growth. Gauging from a footbridge and more recently by remote controlled
ADCP adjacent to gauge board, downstream of bridge. No gaugings above bankfull
hence little confidence in rating above this point. Two ratings cover period or
record, revised in 2016. | Early flow data of lower quality than later
records, due to readings taken from gauge boards. Period-of-record maximum flow
is listed as 132.3 cumecs in Dec 1991. The Dec 1960 peak had a higher stage but
the derivation of the flow cannot be verified. The two events were of a broadly
similar magnitude. Rating from 25/11/2011 accounts for fish pass and
hydroelectric power scheme. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | A predominantly upland
catchment in which the headwaters drain Millstone Grit and Carboniferous
Limestone. Lower reaches are Permain and Triassic Sandstones and Triassic
Mudstone. Some superficial deposits within river valleys. Land use is
predominantly moorland and pasture. | Flows natural to within 10% at the

Velocity area station in a deep channel with long record of flows.
Processing of flows ceased in 2004 as low flow rating poor due to shifting
section control. Station replaced with downstream gauge at Whatstandwell. |
Velocity area station about 20 m wide in a deep channel. | Open
channel site with cableway. Rated with two ratings applied across period of
record, the most recent is valid from January-2001. No gaugings above bankfull
but rating fits gaugings well up to the level of the highest gauged flow
(3.1mASD). Highest floods will bypass along the adjacent A6 road. | |
Responsive upland catchment. Geology predominantly Millstone Grit with some
Coal Measures to the east and Carboniferous Limestone in the west draining The
Wye. Peat covered moorlands occur in the headwaters with forestry and pasture
elsewhere. | Substantially affected by Derwent reservoirs and mill
operation, particularly in the early record. |

Ultrasonic gauge on the upper Trent, previously an electromagnetic and
velocity area station. | Two velocity-area sites were used prior to
December 1994. The first (just d/s of bridge) opened 1959 and closed after river
re-grading in 1976, the second and current site (50 m d/s of original site)
began in 1974. Replaced with an electromagnetic gauge in December 1994.
Following failure of the electromagnetic gauge, an ultrasonic gauge was
installed in 2011. Located just downstream of a major road bridge and a smaller
single track arched bridge. | Severe weed growth requires summer rating
adjustments. Cableway measured in-channel flows (some eddying below bridge, can
cause reversal of flows at cableway). Cableway bypassed by highest flows.
Multiple ratings applied across period of record, revised in 2016 and 2024. Many
gaugings, but wide scatter as a result of weed growth in summer. Current rating
is a better fit to out of bank flows, but is not applied to earlier record. |
Training bank built on the right banks in 1986 prevents out-of-bank flows
re-joining river just upstream of gauging station. Large floods can still spill
out-of-bank upstream of the training banks on the right bank, and bypass the
station, flowing through two flood relief culverts under the road. Peak flows
rejected as unrepresentative of the catchment from 1980-1987 because
interpolation of flow data did not providing accurate representation of on-site
conditions. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Large diverse catchment with Coal Measures in
the headwaters and Triassic Mudstone and Permain and Triassic Sandstones
elsewhere. Approx 30% Boulder Clay and Till deposits with large gravel terraces
providing storage alongside the main river. Mixed farming, sand and gravel
extraction, industrial development. | Significant modification to flows
including reservoir(s) in catchment and regulation from surface water and/or
ground water. Runoff is influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge and
effluent returns, and is reduced by industrial/agricultural/public water supply
abstraction. |

Vertical-area station immediately downstream of Holdiford Road bridge. |
Vertical-area station; channel about 25m wide. | Cableway spans 38m.
Subject to severe weed growth (retrospective correction of rating made) and
siltation; variable and imprecise low flows. Channel regraded 1964-7. |
Flows not processed between 1977-92. | Low relief catchment, rural
west, urbanised south and east. Geology: predominantly Keuper Marl in west, with
Permian and Triassic sandstones in east. Appreciable Boulder Clay in south.
Approx 15% of the catchment is urban with other landuse consisting of some mixed
farming, light industry and some forestry. | Flows significantly augmented
from WRW (Cannock, Stafford). |

Station flow derived from ADCP to replace previous electromagnetic and
earlier velocity area stations in a slow responding rural catchment. |
Originally velocity area station; electromagnetic gauge since 1982 in reach
between two bridges and trapezoidal flood banks. Primary recording switched to
Side-looking ADVM 4th July 2015 then to a bed mounted ADVM from 23rd Jan 2018.
Flood flows fully contained. | Original velocity area station was prone to
severe seasonal weed growth and unstable ratings due to variable backwater
effect. Over-bank flow occurring above 1.9m inundating a wide floodplain. In Jan
1982 the channel was re-graded and rating relationship altered considerably;
levels fell and velocities increased. The flow series from pre and post the
electromagnetic gauge (installed 1982) are not consistent. 1982-1994 shows good
agreement to spot flow gaugings. 1994-2015 shows under-recording of flows with a
bias of -6.7%. ADCP installed September 2014 to run in parallel to
electromagnetics during calibration. Primary flow derived from ADCP after
lightning strike rendered electromagnetic gauge inoperable in November
2015. | Pre-electromagnetic data (1965-82) removed as unreliable. Gauge
failed in 2000 floods but peak flow was gauged. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Low
relief catchment, moderate in headwaters. Tributaries rise on Magnesian
Limestone, then traverse outcrop of Sherwood Sandstone. Lower reaches underlain
by alluvium and Mercia Mudstone. A portion of the catchment is urban, with
Mansfield in the headwaters. Otherwise land use is predominantly rural, arable
farming. | Generally slow response. Reservoir(s) in the catchment together
with significant abstraction and effluent returns affect runoff. |

Velocity area station, closed in April 1978. | Velocity area station
just upstream of a double arch masonry bridge. Became level-only in April 1978
due to unreliable rating, and converted to chart/logger site in 1984. Station
closed December 2003, replaced by Wensor Bridge electromagnetic station. Removed
from peak flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Site
suffers from weed growth at low flows. One rating applied across period of
record. Rating is of poor quality underestimating flows throughout the range. No
gaugings above bankfull. Suspicion that flows underestimated. Flood Studies
Report grade A2 for flood flows. | Data gaps exist in 1976 with summer
1976 flows under review. | Area consists of Keuper Marl, Liassic clays and
Oolite. Quaternary deposits include glacial till and alluvium. Some inferior
Oolite limestone at the watershed. Largely agricultural catchment land use.
Catchment boundary manually digitised due to issue with IHDTM incorrectly
connecting streams in the lower catchment. | Runoff increased by effluent
returns. Some small reservoirs. An extensive network of field drains in the
lower part of the catchment could retain much runoff. |

Velocity area station replaced in 1974 with flat V Crump profile weir. |
Velocity area station up to 1974 (bankfull 3.0m), when a Flat V Crump
profile weir was installed. Very wide floodplain. Cableway removed in 2014 -
flow gaugings carried out just downstream of the road bridge, upstream of the
main station building. Fish pass introduced in 2016. | Site is prone to
weed growth and not reliable at high flows as drowns out and has a very wide
floodplain. Cableway 100 yards upstream, but river breaks out of bank upstream
of cableway. Four peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most
recent is valid from November 2016 following fish pass installation. Ratings
reviewed in 2023 where flows from 2016 were reprocessed. Double bank produces 2
break points on curve. Upper limb of current rating derived from hydraulic
model. High flow gaugings have been taken at full range of flows up to 151m3/s
and give a good confidence of using rating 9 at all in bank flows. Cableway
measures in bank flows only and gaugings have never been taken on the floodplain
or Tutbury Mill Fleam and so out of bank flows are not represented. |
Small bypass (Tutbury Mill Fleam) included in naturalised flow series
(<10% of flow at low flows, not as important at high flows). Levels thought
to be overestimated between 31/05/1973 and 01/09/1973. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Middle and upper reaches drain over Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone
Grit. Lower reaches broad and meandering. Below Rocester, Sherwood Sandstone and
Mercia Mudstone dominate. Land use is predominantly pasture, forestry and mixed
farming. | Storage in alluvium, terrace and fluvio-glacial gravel.
Reservoirs in the catchment together with significant public water supply
abstractions from surface water and/or ground water affect runoff. Moderately
affected by imports. |

Velocity area station with complex rating history owing to river regrading
in 1965 and 1973 draining a very large catchment that contains urban and
industrial land use. | Velocity area station. The left bank is a low lying
golf course that is inundated from 2.68mASD. Cableway removed in 2014 - flow
gaugings still performed in old cableway section. | Complex rating history
owing to river re-grading (1965 and 1973). Multiple peak flow ratings,
particularly since 2001. High flow precision limited by ungauged flow over the
left bank. Much storage in valley gravels. A number of gaugings have been taken
to assess out of bank flows; on 1/11/00 gaugings taken at 3.216mASD showed
floodplain flow to be 26% of the total flow of 252m3/s. | Summer flows
reprocessed in 2010 for the period 2006-2010 to account for weed growth. 2011
flows reprocessed to account for severe weed growth. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). The majority
of low flows (~<15 m3/s) between 16 July - 30 September 2018 are flagged as
suspect. | Very large catchment. Small areas of Coal Measures in the Stoke
area. Approx 25% of the catchment is overlain by Boulder Clay and 10% by valley
gravel, terraces and alluvium. Drift free areas mostly Triassic Mudstones and
Triassic and Permian Sandstones. A large area of the catchment is urban with
large urban industrial areas, otherwise, the main land use is mixed
farming. | Flows substantially modified, particularly by imports into the
Tame system. |

Velocity area station with flows significantly affected by abstractions and
effluent returns. | Velocity area station. 500m d/s of Podmore's Mill,
Rocester. Situated in a straight, deep reach of the river with tress on both
banks. | All three ratings used are virtually identical and fit the spot
gaugings very well. No gauging above bankfull. Prone to weed growth and silt
movement. Gaugings taken from a footbridge present at the site. Replaced by
Rochester JCB (4220) in March 1987, which has subsequently been replaced by
Quixhill (4142). Gauge measures to bankfull, but is bypassed during large floods
and water spreads across large floodplain and down to the confluence with the
River Dove. | | Mainly Dinantian Limestone, Namurian Sandstone and
shales and coal measures. Keuper Marl and Triassic sandstone also occur. |
Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff. Regulation from surface water
and/or ground water. Runoff reduced by public water supply abstraction. Runoff
influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Runoff increased by effluent
returns. |

Velocity area station built in 1968 and replaced by ultrasonic gauge in
1996: the station provides the lowest Trent gauge above the tidal limit and
drains a highly industrial catchment with substantial flow modifications. |
Velocity area station from 1968 to 1996. An ultrasonic gauge was installed
in 1996. Highest transducer 7m. The station provides the most downstream gauge
on the Fluvial Trent and lies immediately upstream of Cromwell Weir (Trent tidal
limit). | Single rating applied to period of record. Station flows form a
hybrid record after August 1996 when the time of flight ultrasonic flow meter is
used to measure flows below a stage of 3.0 metres. Out of bank flows are
calculated from the rating above this stage when the transducers are bypassed on
the right bank. Floodplain becomes active from a stage above 3.0 mASD. |
Station record at low flows prior to 1996 processed using rating equation
and are less accurate than the Ultrasonic Record. At high flows the rating has
been fit to gaugings up to a stage of 3.693 metres taken at Holme where the full
river can be measured before the channel bypasses on the right bank. Events in
1977 and 2000 were gauged via a cableway but did not included bypass flow. The
rating has carefully estimated the extent of bypass and is considered as
accurate to the highest level observed in November 2000. Significant hysteresis
is evident in the flow record between flows of 300 and 500 m3/s due to variable
drowning of Cromwell Weir caused by tidal effects. The high flow rating has been
fit to the rising limb gaugings so represents an over estimation of flows on the
falling limb of the hydrograph at the flows. Hysteresis becomes less dominate at
flows in excess of 500 m3/s. Corrections to the falling limb hydrograph have
been made from 1996 onwards as the ultrasonic flow gauge shows the extent of
hysteresis. Prior to 1996 no correction for hysteresis is possible on the
falling limb of the flood hydrograph. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Largest gauged
catchment on Trent, with range of land use. Predominantly impervious owing to
glacial clay and Mercia Mudstone, but some sandstone and limestone (Dove,
Derwent and downstream of Nottingham). | Very substantial flow
modifications owing to imports, WRW, cooling water and industrial usage.
Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff. Regulation from surface water and/or
ground water. Runoff reduced by public water supply abstraction and increased by
effluent returns. Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. |

Open channel section until flat V weir commissioned in 1994. | Open
channel station opened 1965. Problems with severe seasonal weed growth led to
closure of original VA station in 1977 (telemetry of levels maintained). Flat-V
weir (1:20 cross-slopes) commissioned 1994. Located just downstream of bridge in
meandering reach; channel 11m wide. | Open channel station well-rated to
bankfull by gauging, and the December 1965 event gauged by current meter at
2.36m and 27.9 m3/s. There appears to have been a datum shift in March 1970 of
around +0.30m. Applying a datum shift of +0.31m to data before 11/03/1970 and
then applying the pre-weir rating gives similar flows to those shown in most
cases (maximum difference of under 2 m3/s). Stage hydrographs of AMAX events in
early record look reasonable. Although few gaugings above QMED pre- and
post-weir, the highest events in both periods were gauged near the peaks. Most
recent rating valid from April-1994 when weir installed. Pre-weir rated up to
bankfull (2.35m). Post-weir rating valid to 2m; max gauging 1.55m; upper limb
based on 2 gaugings. Post-weir high flows are derived from rating curve fitted
to spot flow gaugings - gaugings suggest channel control at high flows is
stable. Embankment limits spills onto left bank (see photos near peak of October
1998 event). Weir drowns at high flows. Weed/algae problems. | Low flows:
Pre-weir record of limited value due to shifting bed control caused by annual
weed growth. (But 1976 7-day minimum may be lower than that for 1995). No daily
flows recorded 1977 to 1994. Data prior to 1965 is not held on record as deemed
unreliable. | Moderate to high relief catchment in S Pennines.
Carboniferous Limestone with basic sills and intrusions in upper catchment.
Isolated hill top peat. Buxton in the headwaters, otherwise moorland, grazing,
forested main valley. | Modest net augmentation to flows from WRW and
PWS. |

Ultrasonic gauge on the Wreake. | Ultrasonic time of flight gauge
since October 2018, providing good quality data at low and high flows.
Side-looking ADCP gauge 2012-2018. Electromagnetic gauge in use 1982-2012,
replacing the original crump weir 4.6m wide which was originally installed in
1967. | All flows contained. Site difficult to gauge; very low velocities
at low flows and station bypassed at high flows. Three peak flow ratings applied
across period of record. | Issues with low flow data during ADCP period
due to low channel velocities in a deep river section. Levels indicate the March
1975 event may have been higher than the April 1998 event, but the magnitude
cannot be verified due to complications with the rating history. |
Moderate relief catchment, draining west from the Oolitic Limestone scarp.
Predominantly Boulder Clay overlying Liassic clays. Rural catchment, mixed
farming, containing Melton Mowbray. | Fast response to rainfall and
significant augmentation from WRW. |

Crump profile weir with flanking floodbanks to contain out-of-channel flows
draining a highly responsive catchment. | Crump profile weir with flanking
floodbanks to contain out of bank flows - includes a cableway and downstream
recorder. The flow bypasses on the left bank and rejoins downstream after the
railway bridge. | Multiple ratings accross period of record. Variable
drowning makes calculating upper limb difficult. Low modular limit (drowns at
approximately 0.6 m [~8.0 m3/s]) and prone to weed growth, causing variable
drowning and uncertainty with high flows. ADCP gaugings performed between weir
wing walls during summer weed growth. Otherwise the cableway is used. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). | Lower reaches drain Permian and Triassic Sandstones
and the Coal Measures. Sherwood sandstone and Mercia Mudstone over the remainder
of the catchment are widely blanketed with Boulder Clay. Predominantly
agricultural catchment, although contains Nuneaton and Hinkley; with urban land
use accounting a signifcant proportion of the catchment area. |
Substantial modification owing to PWS imports to the catchment. |

Laserflow velocity index gauge installed in 2022 to run in parallel with
Ultrasonic gauge during calibration. Previously multi path Ultrasonic
time-of-flight gauge, and originally rated section. River splits flows through
two rectangular flood drainage channels. | Two rectangular concrete
channels, each 3.9m wide, 3.09m deep, separated by divide wall 1m high. All
flows contained. Opened in 1965 as rated section. Closed in 1984, reopened in
1991 as multi-path ultrasonic gauge. Laserflow velocity index gauge installed in
2022. Pre 1972 the data is from CEH data holdings. Between 1972 and 1992 the
data is the sum of the flows from the left (4027) and right (4227)
channels. | Use pre-ultrasonic record with care especially at low flows
due to unstable rating. Informal low flow controls installed in 1981 produced
some improvement. Stop boards were able to close one channel at low flows. |
| Low to moderate relief catchment draining Carboniferous Coal
Measures with Permian and Triassic rocks on east and south boundaries.
Significant urban fraction, otherwise arable and grazing land use. |
Substantial augmentation from mine drainage and mining towns' STW. Runoff
influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Runoff increased by effluent
returns. Runoff reduced by industrial/agricultural abstraction. Substantial
mining in catchment. |

Crump profile weir somewhat insensitive but good quality data throughout the
range of flows but difficult to gauge at higher flows. | Crump profile
weir, 12.5m wide in a straight reach - modular to bankfull. Rocky bed, somewhat
insensitive but good quality data throughout the range. Gaugings possible with
ADCP just upstream of weir at levels up to around 0.8m after which it becomes
increasingly more difficult due to turbulent flow. Gaugings can also be
performed in Ilam village however are not always reliable. Located downstream of
Ilam town and 700m upstream of Manifold/Dove confluence. Fish baffles and eel
pass installed on weir in July 2015. | One rating applied across period of
record. Top section derived from gaugings. High flow gaugings since 2007
informed new rating applied to flows above 0.465m - leading to slight increases
in high flows across period of record. Digitised record prior to 01/11/1970 is
considered unsuitable for derivation of reliable peak flows. | Water Year
1971/1972 is rejected as the true AMAX occurs during missing period and likely
to be substantially higher. Drop in flow August 2022 due to debris being cleared
from the weir. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Headwaters of moderate relief and drain
sandstone and mudstone of the Millstone Grit; middle reach has cut deep gorges
through Carboniferous Limestone. Responsive catchment. Sheep grazing and
moorland. | Minimal interference from PWS. |

Non-standard pre 2015. Flat-V from 2015 onwards. | Flat-V weir
installed in Jan 2015 to replace the trapezoidal flume built in 1964. 1972-2015
flume was unsatisfactory so site used as velocity area except 1984-1990 when
station was inactive. Built to measure flows entering Sherwood Sandstone
outcrop. | Theoretical Flat-V equation applies from 2015 onwards with tail
water corrections above modular limit of structure. Two ratings applied to
pre-2015 period of record. Mining subsidence in 1976 caused permanent drowning
of flume until downstream channel was re-graded in 1981. | Station closed
between 1984 and 1990. June 2007 and October 2023 high flows beyond limit of
rating curve. | Ribbon-like, SW-NE catchment of moderate relief, rising on
Magnesian Limestone, subordinate Permian Marl and Sherwood Sandstone. Mining was
dominant industry; many spoil tips. Sutton in Ashfield in headwaters, also part
of Mansfield Woodhouse. | Significant proportion of low flows are
comprised of effluent. |

Compound Crump profile weir built to investigate the water balance of a
Millstone Grit catchment typical of the area south of the High Peak. |
Small compound Crump profile weir, crest lengths 1.2 and 3.02m in rocky
channel. Originally an experimental catchment with associated comprehensive
climate station. Station out of action Oct 1986-Oct 1996. | Fully modular,
has never been overtopped. Some trouble with left bank accretion, incised
gauging section, and heavy undergrowth. One rating applied across period of
record, based on rating tables not gaugings. Difficult to gauge higher flows the
largest of which suggests rating underestimates flow. Rating revised in
2016. | Zero flow in Jan 1986 thought to be due to frozen catchment.
Winter 21-22 has no flow to large debris jam in the flume. Unable to apply
correction due to uncertainty in point of accumulation, flows were too high to
keep in. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Headwater gauge for the River Dove. Steep slopes
and flashy regime. Namurian Grits and Shales with some Dinantian limestone
(about 10%). Highland catchment, steep gradients. Mainly rural grazing land.
Catchment heavily instrumented for rainfall and evaporation measurements. |
Natural to within 10% at the 95 percentile flow with flashy regime. |

Station in central Nottingham gauging the baseflow dominated regime of the
Leen. Twin concrete channels in urban area. | Two rectangular concrete
channels, each 3.05m wide, 2.75m deep, separated by divide wall 1m high. All
flows contained. Closed 1984, reopened in 1991 as multiple Ultrasonic operation.
Laser flow gauge operational from 2023. Station added to peak flows dataset in
August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Use pre-ultrasonic record with care
especially at low flows due to unstable rating. Informal low flow controls
installed in 1981 produced some improvement. | Peak Flows available from
the Ultrasonic gauge only after WY1991/1992. | Moderate to low relief
catchment draining south into Nottingham. Geology predominantly Magnesian
Limestone in the west with Permian Mudstones and Sherwood Sandstones to the
east. Significant urban fraction, approx 50%, in lower catchment otherwise
arable and grazing land use. | An extremely urban, flashy catchment
producing a very spiky data record. Minor net disturbance to baseflow dominated
flow regime. There is also a high level of flood attenuation in the catchment,
with a number of dams and storage reservoirs that can hold back flow and
level. |

LaserFlow gauge gauge on the Poulter. Large amounts of missing data. |
Station sites where Poulter leaves Sherwood Sandstone outcrop. Original
4.88m wide Crump profile weir submerged from late 1972 by mining subsidence;
channel regraded in 1981, but no solution. Ultrasonic gauge installed in 1992
revived the station and was replaced by a LaserFlow gauge in October 2017. |
Laserflow capable of measuring full range of flows. | Periods of
missing data from 2007 until 2009 due to difficulties with ultrasonic gauge.
Early flow record for the ultrasonic gauge did not measure bypass flow. Further
periods of suspect data and edited data from 2015-2019 due to measurement
problems. The laser flow gauge post 2019 measures the full range of flows to a
better standard. | Catchment rises on Magnesian Limestone with subordinant
Permian Marl; mainly underlain by Sherwood Sandstone. Predominantly rural; part
of Bolsover and Shirebrook in headwaters. | Minor augmentation from
sewage; inline lakes in Clumber and Welbeck Parks ensure sluggish response. |

Crump profile weir draining an almost totally urbanised catchment with data
used for flood forecasting. | Crump profile weir, 3.66m wide, with
flanking broad-crested weirs set in a formalised, roughly rectangular channel.
Station data is used for flood forecasting. | High flows gauged from
nearby footbridge, but hazardous owing to high velocities. Prone to upstream
siltation. Drowns at high flows. At 0.7m the flows go over the broad-crested
weir shoulders, but all flows are in bank. Possibly some backing up effects but
of uncertain cause. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record, derived
from current meter gaugings. | Summer 2007 peak flows under review. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Almost totally urbanised catchment overlying clay except in
the headwaters in the Lickey Hills. | Very responsive. Significant imports
modify flow regime. Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Crump profile weir draining and urbanised and industrialised catchment with
significant flow modification. | Crump profile weir, 4.12m wide, modular
throughout range. Liable to collect rubbish and fish baffles added in 2012. |
Four peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Current meter
gaugings show a high degree of accuracy compared to rating. Low flow ADCP
gaugings typically carried out between weir wing walls. High flow gaugings
performed off or near upstream footbridge. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Moderate relief catchment, significantly urbanised at Biddulph and Stoke on
Trent, draining the Coal Measures; approximately quarter of catchment is covered
with Boulder Clay. | A responsive catchment affected by impounding
reservoirs, discharges from three WRW's, plus mine drainage. Substantial flow
modification in the early record, but reduced to significant through the 1980s.
Flow affected by STW closure: effluent from Stoke diverted to other STW
downstream of the gauge. |

Site data is a combination of DMFs from Bothamsall (4045) on the Meden and
Haughton (4034) on the Maun - both trapezoidal flumes, rated by C/m - the river
divides upstream of the two gauging points and then joins again downstream.
Station closed in 1984. | The Meden and Maun join then split u/s of the
gauging points. This is a combination record of DMFs from the Meden at
Bothamshall and the Maun at Haughton. No combined peak flows available (those
provided are for the Meden). Both stations originally velocity-area stations
with trapezoidal flumes built in 1963/4 - closed in 1984. | Flows derived
from addition of two subsidiary sites - no ratings. Poor ratings record. |
The levels given are at Bothamsall (the site with greater flows). |
The lower two thirds of the catchment is Permian and Triassic Sandstones
with Permain Magensian Limestone upstream. The catchment includes Mansfield and
adjacent former coal mining area. It is almost entirely free of Drift
deposits. | Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Runoff
increased by effluent returns. |

Crump profile Flat V weir modular to bankfull draining catchment with
natural flow regime. | Crump profile flat vee weir, 7.59m wide, deep
vertical sidewalls, modular to bankfull. Excellent station, narrower than the
main channel. | Fish baffles installed on weir in August 2016. Bypassing
may occur at high flows on the left bank. Two peak flow ratings applied across
period of record. Gaugings generally performed with ADCP within or just upstream
of the weir wing walls across the stage range. | Water Year 1969/1970
rejected due to low confidence. Debris in summer 2022 leading to unusual peak in
August. Unable to correct. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Long narrow catchment. Upper
reaches on Millstone Grit mudstone and sandstone. Western watershed is formed by
a steep Carboniferous Limestone ridge. The Dove's passage across the Carb. l'st
is characterised by deep gorges (Wolfscote Dale, Dove Dale). Largely
moorland. | Flashy response but natural catchment. |

Crump profile Flat V weir station draining baseflow dominated catchment with
substantial augmentation of low flows from WRW. | Crump profile Flat V
weir with reasonable approach d/s of a road bridge. Removed from peak flows
dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Low modular limit (~0.75m,
7-8 cumecs), rating does not take account of non-modular flow conditions. Three
ratings applied across period of record. Ratings have generic upper limb and
slightly different limbs for low flows. Wading gaugings taken u/s of bridge
should site back-up (owing to weed growth). | June 2007 high flows
unreliable as level beyond limit of measuring structure. Flows from October 1999
reprocessed in 2012 to account for negative shift in gaugings of unknown cause -
resulting in lowering of low flow estimates. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Moderate
relief catchment, sited where the river crosses the Triassic Sandstone outcrop,
mostly draining Magnesian Limestone but includes Coal Measures, Permian Marl
& sandstones. Rural catchment arable farming as dominant land use. |

Cross Correlation Doppler flow gauge on the River Torne. | Crump
profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel, 8.9m wide at V-full. Side-looking
doppler installed 50m downstream to allow for reliable low and high flow data
from 2016 onwards. New Cross Correlation Doppler installed 6th May 2021. |
Cross correlation gauge has provided good quality data since 2021. A number
of measurement issues prior to this. Subsidence affected performance in 1990s,
second well installed d/s. Bypassing unlikely but high range unreliable prior to
2021 due to backing up from artificial drainage and/or summer weed growth. Low
local hydraulic gradients: tail water level measurements allowed correction for
drowned flow. Submerged weir rating derived based on gaugings taken when the
submergence ratio was zero. | 1973 peak under review - triggered by 70mm
storm but flow may be over-estimated. Significant weed growth has an impact on
flow record. | R. Torne rises on dip slope of Magnesian L'st and Sherwood
S'st but soon enters Trent/Humber ancient floodplain. Tidally drained. Contains
mine workings and agriculture. | Generally, sluggish response. Substantial
flow augmentation from WRW and mine drainage. |

Crump profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel, with floodbanks to contain
out of channel flows. | Crump profile Flat V weir, 9.1m wide, in
trapezoidal channel, with floodbanks to contain out of channel flows and
cableway to gauge highest flows. Fish and eel pass constructed in 2014. Removed
from peak flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Downstream
channel widened in 2015 to allow for modular conditions throughout the year.
Large amount of scatter in gaugings making flow calculations unreliable,
compounded by bypass flow during flood conditions which is difficult to measure
accuractly. Rating problems include summer weed growth that causes variable
drowning, affecting flow quality at all levels. Sedimentation in the measurement
section can also cause inaccuracies. ADCP gaugings carried out by wading and
remote craft at low flows within measurement section. At high flows, cableway
and remote ADCP gaugings can be carried out in the section, though can be
difficult due to low velocities. | Flows rejected during Jun to Sep 2016
due to weed growth. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Low relief agricultural catchment,
primarily on Mercia Mudstone, with some Sherwood Sandstone in headwaters.

Originally a velocity area station the station was closed in 1983 and
operated at level only until 1990 when a crump profile Flat V weir in
trapezoidal channel was installed. | ADCP gaugings perfomed between weir
wing walls or approximately 15m upstream of weir. High level/flood gaugings
carried out off upstream road bridge. Periodic weed cutting carried out by
contractors during growing season to prevent weir from drowning out
prematurely. | Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record.
Current rating fits corresponding gaugings very well to maximum gaugings (2.3m).
Local bankfull conditions - channel width is 15m. Early drowning caused by weed
growth. | Station closed in 1983 with level only data until 1990 when data
recommences after installation of crump profile weir. Missing data from
2017-05-14 to 2017-09-24 because the site was affected by downstream weed, so
the weir was drowned (non-modular) during the summer months. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7).
Rating reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed from 2015. | Low to moderate
relief catchment, glacial gravels over Mercia Mudstone to the west with Boulder
Clay over Sherwood S'st to the east. Western part of the catchment rural; part
of Wolverhampton in the south and Cannock in the East. Elsewhere, mixed farming
with some forestry. | Substantial augmentation of flows from WRW. |

Crump profile Flat V weir in a trapezoidal channel. | | Some
flow uncertainty possibly caused by substantial sediment deposition in upstream
section, upstream bend, and more recently deteriorating condition of weir
surface. Three ratings applied across period of record, with most recent fit to
a shift in lower flow gaugings from 2016. Modular section of the rating is
theoretical prior to 2016. 1997 rating change updated the non-modular section.
Weir drowns at high flows above 1.1m, starting at 0.5m. Rating limit is level of
highest gauging and bankfull level 1.7m. Bypassing on right bank starts above
this for which the rating is extrapolated and does not account for. Very high
flow backs up from twin arch stone bridge immediately downstream with wrack
marks indicating substantial drawdown at the bridge. | Unusual flow
pattern in Oct 1978 due to drawdown of Thornton Reservoir. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Geology predominantly Mercia Mudstone overlain by Boulder Clay with ancient
Charnwood Forest rocks outcrop to the N. Predominantly rural, but drains a
portion of NW Leicester and contains number of small towns. | Substantial
imports enter the river from WRW. |

Crump profile Flat V weir in a trapezoidal channel draining a baseflow
dominated catchment affected by significant abstractions. | Crump profile
flat V weir (1:10) in a trapezoidal (1:1) channel. Subject to weed growth; low
modular limit. Shallow flow upstream and downstream of the weir. | Two
ratings applied across period of record, the most recent adjusting the
non-modular limb based on new high flow gaugings up to 2007, re-processed back
to January-1990. Older high flow gaugings have better fit to the previous curve.
The same theoretical flat-V weir equation for modular flows applies over whole
period of record. High deviation at low flows may be accounted for by increased
gauging error at low flows and silt accumulation. Subject to weed growth; low
modular limit but rating has high flow component. | Daily flow peak on 4th
August 2018 caused by burst water main in the area which caused water to enter
the river from the nearby areas. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). and in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | The river drains SE from a moderate to low relief catchment.
The bulk of the catchment comprises outcrop Triassic sandstone. Flanking hills
nearer the gauge are of Mercia Mudstone. Predominantly rural catchment with
mixed farming. | Baseflow dominated. Affected by spray irrigation
abstraction and minor WRW effluent. |

Crump profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel draining catchment with
significant modifications to flow regime - replaced 28042 in 1975. | Crump
profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel. Drowns out above +0.55mASD,
especially owing to weed growth. Prescribed flow point. Replaced 28042 in 1975.
At levels above 2.2mASD bypassing occurs along adjacent canal. Cableway can
gauge high flows, but hard to get all due to bypassing. | Four peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. Gaugings up to bankfull, but some
scatter in gaugings and bypassing beyond 2.2m which makes gauging difficult.
Rating less reliable beyond this point but still fits gaugings well. Gaugings
carried out using cableway or remote ADCP craft. At lower levels, gaugings waded
using ADCP upstream of section or using remote craft. | Rejected data in
2011 and 2012 due to downstream weed grwoth and sedimentation issues, and in
2015 due to equipment issues. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Catchment of moderate
relief with mixed geology; primarily Sherwood Sandstone and shales and s'st of
the Millstone Grit series. Some blanketing of Boulder Clay and glacial sand and
gravel. Contains Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir but otherwise low grade

Crump profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel draining a highly urbanised
catchment. | Crump profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel, 10.9m at
V-full, with floodbanks to contain out-of-channel flow. Eel tiles were put on
weir in 2016. Site also referred to as Bacons End. Removed from peak flows
dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Gauged from bridge during
high flows using a rope - formerly a cableway of span 48m, which extended across
floodbanks. Highest flows inundate narrow floodplain. Low flow gaugings measured
by waded ADCP or remote craft. There is wide scatter in gaugings below QMED that
could lead to underestimation of QMED by up to 30%, although a single gauging
above 1.5m which agrees well with the rating. Needs further high flow gaugings
and a review of the rating above bankfull. | Blockage of stilling well
during 2012 resulted in under-recording - with re-processed flows for 2012 based
on downstream site at Swan's Barn used although these are marked as
unreprentative in the Peak Flow Dataset. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Substantially urbanised catchment (S Birmingham suburbs). Underlying
geology: Mercia Mudstone with extensive coverings of Boulder Clay and glacial
sand and gravel. | Responsive catchment. Moderate modification to flows
from effluent returns. |

Crump profile Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel with variable quality high
flows data as weir drowns and can back up from Trent. Laserflow velocity index
gauge installed in 2021 to run in parallel with weir during calibration. |
Crump profile flat vee weir is 27m wide, in trapezoidal channel. Very broad
floodplain - flows readily and extensively occur out of bank at approx 2.0mASD.
20km downstream of St Mary's Bridge; substantial abstractions and returns in
between weir and site. | High flows of variable quality as weir drowns;
calculated by extrapolation from St Mary's Bridge and gaugings at Draycott. At
high flows the gauging site becomes cut off due to floodplain flows and is
impossible to gauge except through the use of a boat. Three peak flow ratings
applied across period of record. Little evidence to support the top end of the
rating. | Flows for the period 01/01/2004 onwards re-processed using new
ratings following rating review in 2014. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Large
catchment with moorland headwaters on Carboniferous Grit and Limestone. Lower
reaches on Sherwood Sandstone and Mercia Mudstone. Valley broadens considerably
below Derby with extensive sand and gravel terraces. Range of agricultural and
industrial activity. | Can back up from Trent. Abstraction point nearby at
Draycott can affect flows (e.g. summer 2018). |

Compound rectangular thin plate weir on the Lathkill, shortly upstream of
the confluence of the Wye. | Compound rectangular thin plate weir. Head
measurement in a stilling well by means of a float and counter weight driven
shaft encoder. Site located 600 metres upstream with confluence of the River Wye
giving potential for backing up in flood conditions. Originally built in 1964
with charts commencing in 1969. Station closed in 1982. Site reinstated 1997 as
part of Environmental change network following significant works. |
Following rating review in 2000 that identified shift from theoretical weir
equation curve a new rating curve was applied from 10/10/2000. | Flow data
between 01/08/76 to 01/05/81 found erroneous following reopening and review of
data and removed from records. Digital records commence in 1998. Data quality
deemed poor due to lack of maintenance of the thin plate weir resulting in
siltation issues behind the crest. A rating curve was fit to gaugings to try and
account for the inaccuracy of the thin plate weir equation. Weed growth upstream
of the structure causes issues with the approach conditions. Data also poor at
high flows as the structure drowns and no high flow rating available. |

inline settlement lagoon - replaces Lea Marston (28004) in 1982. | Unusual
twin bay, chevron shaped Crump profile weirs, 21.5m total width, discharging
into an inline settlement lagoon. Replaced 28004 Lea Marston in 1982 (large
scatter in gaugings at all levels), record combined. Weed booms were installed
in 2001, 30m upstream of twin weirs but produced large head difference. Weed
booms damaged/bent when hit by debris during medium/high flow and were replaced
with automatic screens. These can produce pulses in flow when cleared and still
have a slight head difference but not as bad as previous screens. Automatic
screens removed in 2019. | The weirs are affected by drowning due to high
levels in downstream lake, but this is only minor. Site is known to bypass at
high levels, but this floodplain flow is taken into account in most recent
rating. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent
is valid from June-2001. Ratings fit gaugings well and account for
bypassing. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Substantially urbanised catchment
containing Birmingham. Solid geology: Coal Measures group with sandstones in the
west and Mercia Mudstone elsewhere. Catchment mostly overlain by extensive cover
of Boulder Clay and glacial sand and gravel in equal proportion. |
Substantial flow modification from large imports and urbanised areas. |

An ultrasonic gauging station with trapezoidal flume. | Station opened
1989 to provide flow data for water resources, water quality monitoring and
flood forecasting. Original flume never reached critical velocity since Tame
dredging not carried out to anticipated depth. Ultrasonic installed in 2003 but
appeared to be underestimating flows. Replaced with NivuFlow gauge in June 2020.
Sensor racks located in same position as previous install, though with a
slightly reduced transducer depth so as to minimise impacts of weed and debris
accumulation. | Fully modular, has never been overtopped. Some trouble
with left bank accretion, incised gauging section, and heavy undergrowth.
Difficult to gauge higher flows the largest of which suggests rating
underestimates flow. ADCP gaugings performed within ultrasonic section.
In-channel weed growth immediately upstream of measurement section can cause the
ultrasoinc to over-record. | Low flow data possibly inaccurate, as at best
only two paths are in the river. Routine maintenance helps combat silt and weed
accumulation within the measurement section. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Almost
entirely urbanised catchment just below confluence of upper Tame branches. Solid
geology predominantly Coal Measures overlain by extensive Boulder Clay and sand
and gravel. | Very responsive. Substantial imports from water reclamation
work. Above 70 cumecs washland overspill upstream operates. |

Electromagnetic gauge replaced with cross-correlation from April 2018.
Downstream of a flood relief channel. | Cross-correlation gauge in a
straight reach, replaced an electromagnetic gauge in April 2018. Flood relief
channel joins on the right bank just upstream. Bypassed at high flows above
2.4mASD. Banks raised just upstream of station in 1998 to keep flows in bank to
a higher stage. Replaced Narborough (28051) in 1982. | Prone to weed
growth. During electromagnetic data, a rating was used to derive flows above
2.3m when instrumentation underestimates. EM data during lowest flows unreliable
due to very low velocities. Bypassed at high flows above 2.4mASD. | |
Predominantly agricultural catchment just south of Leicester. Geology
predominantly Mercia Mudstones overlain by extensive Boulder Clay and glacial
gravel cover. Significant river terraces and alluvium in lower reaches. |
Substantial imports via WRW. |

Multipath ultrasonic gauge gauging a relatively urban catchment near
Stoke-on-Trent. | Multipath ultrasonic gauge installed beneath A34 road
bridge on a gentle curve. | Out-of-bank flows inferred by the rated flow
from spot gaugings. Three peak flow rating applied across period of record, used
for flood forecasting only. | Recorded data from 01/04/1985 - 24/08/1987
appears suspect - levels too low. Station undermined in 1987 flood,
reconstructed 1990/1. In 2001-2002, gauge not performing v well. Transducers
failing constantly, especially lower ones (due to silt). Problems in 2002-2003
with rubble in channel now creating skew flows & siltation. | Moderate
relief catchment, substantially urbanised with Stoke-on-Trent and
Newcastle-under-Lyme. Geology mainly Coal Measures and Marls, Millstone Grit and
subordinate Sherwood S'st, widely covered by Boulder Clay. Mining, industrial
and mixed agricultural land use. | Quite responsive but flow regime
dominated by Strongford WRW discharge (Stoke-on-Trent). |

Ten-channel, interleaved cross path US gauge in the centre of Derby.
Replaced Longbridge Weir (28010, 1935-1986) - combined record held at St Marys
Bridge. | Ten-channel, interleaved cross path US gauge in the centre of
Derby, 0.5km upstream of Longbridge Weir (28010) which it replaced. Opened in
1984, ultrasonic gauge reconfigured in March 1993. Record combined with 28010 (a
long, curved broad-crested masonry weir with complex rating history, very
insensitive). | Negligible bypassing. Two ratings shown are applied to
Longbridge Weir record, the most recent valid from August 1970 when the weir was
narrowed. Station is ultrasonic thereafter. | Following statistical
assessment of continuity, mean and peak flow record shown are a combination of
28010 (Longbridge Weir) to 1986, and St Marys Bridge thereafter; POT thresholds
prior to merge were 105.667 and 69.256 cumecs respectively. Chart and CEH POT
date ranges are for 28010. Some Longbridge AMAX pre-1985 are of a smaller
magnitude than daily mean flows as instantaneous data have been re-processed
following rating review. Continuous 15-minute data are awaiting digitisation and
re-processing. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Large, predominantly upland catchment
draining Millstone Grit and Carboniferous Limestone. Lower reaches drain Coal
Measures on the Lb and Triassic sandstones and marls on the Rb. Peat moorland
headwaters; forestry, pasture and some arable. Contains the towns of Matlock and
Buxton. | Substantial flow modification owing to Derwent reservoirs, mill
operations (particularly before 1970s), and PWS abstractions. |

Velocity area station used primarily for water quality purposes - replaces
28005, Elford which was several km upstream. Very broad flood plain on both
banks. | Velocity area station immediately downstream of Hopwas road
bridge with a cableway between training banks that contain the majority of high
flows. Station used primarily for water quality purposes. Some bypassing, but
accounted for in rating. Site replaces 28005, Elford which was several km
upstream. Very broad flood plain on both banks. | Suffers from heavy weed
growth which contributes to over-estimation of runoff requiring retrospective
rating adjustments (not shown) - but all are based on the winter curve applied
here as the majority of floods are in winter and flatten weeds. As a result of
these weeds there is significant scatter in gaugings. Ratings revised in 2016.
Three peak flow ratings across period of record. | Magnitude of June and
July 2007 flood events subject to considerable overestimation due to hydraulic
conditions and increased channel and floodplain rugosity. Gaugings taken during
events suggest peak flows of around 210 cumecs in June and 200 cumecs in July
2007. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Catchment
predominantly Mercia Mudstones with some shales and limestones. Overlain by
Boulder Clay in the headwater with sands and gravels within the valleys. Mixed
farming and urbanised catchment. | |

Velocity area station used for flood warning purposes and a time of travel
pollution assessment point. Key reservoir site. | Velocity area station
commissioned in October 1985 to measure levels on the uppermost reaches of the
River Tame in the Tipton and Oldbury area. River heads northwest from its source
at Oldbury towards West Bromwich and the next flow station at Bescot. Gauge
house replaced in July 2012 following vandalism in June 2010 (station closed
between this period). Either side of the channel are two large balancing lakes
which act as a flood storage area. | Channel is a uniform concrete flume
with a trapezoidal cross-section. High level gaugings problematic due to rapid
response times following heavy rainfall. The channel is generally silt free with
no or very minimal weed growth. | Station closed November 2020. |
Heavy urbanised. | Flashy regime owing to the highly urbanised
catchment and high levels of surface run-off. |

Triangular profile Flat Vee weir set within vertical wing walls, with brick
gauge house and cableway opened in 1998. | Station was built in 1998 and
is located on the late Joseph Cyril Bamford Estate (JCB) near the village of
Rocester. | A Flat Vee triangular profile weir with vertical side walls
provides a hydraulic control to measure discharge. The site has a cableway for
carrying out ADCP gaugings, though can also be done using a remote controlled
ADCP. | Complete period of record flow. Notable peak events in November
2000 and October 2019. | The River Churnet originates approximately 30km
North of Quixhill gauging station on the Middle Hills (7km North East of Leek,
Staffordshire). The river flows in a south-westerly direction where it flows
into Tittesworth Reservoir. The River Churnet then continues in a southerly
direction through Staffordshire. | The Churnet is generally baseflow
dominated and can rise quite rapidly following heavy rainfall, owing to the
upland nature of the catchment. It is a very silty river often with high
sediment load except at the lowest of flows. |

Informal weir rated section in the upper reaches of the Erewash. |
Gauge in the upper reaches of the Erewash. | | Some missing
data between 2001 and 2002. Localised flooding prevents access for gaugings
during recent extreme events, with extreme high flows beyond the limit of the
rating curve. Treat with caution. Low flow section of rating improved in 2023
and historic flow data reprocessed. | Semi-urbanised catchment, draining
agricultural land and coal mines. | |

Crump profile Flat V weir that replaces (1996) 28059 Mansfield STW - closed
in 1984. | Crump profile Flat V (1:10) weir, 4.8m wide, low vertical
wingwalls set in wider channel. Lb at about 2m, Rb higher. Weir prone to u/s
siltation - sand is mobile, especially under high flow conditions and is washed
away in high events - results in variable levels and scatter in gaugings.
Replaced 28059 Mansfield - old site was replaced due to drowning of the flume
and accumulation of rubbish. Structure situated downstream of sewage works in
Mansfield. | Flows are derived from the Flat-V Theoretical equation
throughout the full flow range. Mobilisation of sand results in variable levels,
scatter in gaugings. Difficult to gauge above 0.4mASD due to very flashy
response; difficult to catch events. Structure becomes non-modular at high
flows. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Moderate relief catchment near
headwaters of Maun. Rises on Magnesian Limestone and crosses onto Sherwood S'st.
Heavily urbanised with Mansfield and Sutton in Ashfield immediately u/s. |
Urbanised catchment. Very responsive to rainfall, very rapid rise and fall
in the hydrograph. Low flows dominated by sewage effluent and augmented by
runoff from urban area that effectively increases catchment area. Very atypical
water balance. Second rise in flood hydrograph often follows initial peak from
urban runoff, as flows from the rural upper catchment move downstream. |

Previously Flat V Weir on the Maun to measure flows downstream of the
Sherwood sandstone. Weir was removed in Jan/ Feb 2019 and replaced with a time
of flight ultrasonic flow gauge. Weir also drowned intermittently between
October 2015 and April 2019 for which a tailwater correction was applied to
account for non-modularity. | Time of flight ultrasonic flow gauge post
Jan 2019. Pre-2019 Flat V weir, 5.2m wide with 0.64m high wingwalls. Built to
measure flows d/s of the Sherwood Sandstone aquifer and to complement gauge at
Mansfield (28115) which measures flows u/s of aquifer. Weir drowned during June
2007 high flows, flows over wingwalls. | | Record from
1997-present. | Geology predominantly Sherwood Sandstone with Limestone in
the west and Mercia Mudstone to the east. Little Drift cover. Contains urban
areas of Mansfield and Sutton in Ashfield. Mixed land use of arable and
woodland. | The Maun is influent in the Sherwood Sandstone reaches; low
flows can decline below those at 28115. |

Cross-correlation gauge on the Meden to measure flows downstream of the
Sherwood Sandstone. | Replacing d/s station (28045). Data from
cross-correlation gauge commences in 2019. Prior measurement from Flat V weir
with 1:10 cross slopes, Crump profile, 5.2m wide, wing walls at 0.64m. |
| No daily flow data available July 2013 - September 2016 due to
subsidence of the weir. Flows from October 2016 onwards are calculated through a
new rating and from February 2019 onwards from the cross-correlation gauge. June
2007 high flows were over the wingwalls of the structure. | Moderate to
low relief catchment underlain by the Notts coalfield. The Maun rises on
generally sandy facies of the Magnesian Lst, crosses onto Sherwood Sst, the
gauge sited close to the junction with the Mercia Mudst. Upper catchment
dominated by urban centres (Mansfield) and mining spoil; middle and lower
reaches rural and forest. | Subdued response with WRW effluent augmenting

Compound structure gauging a rural, predominantly Chalk catchment with some
artificial influences. | Simple low flow Crump profile weir 3.073m wide
with flanking broad-crest sections. Total width 9.687m. | A cableway at
Abby Bridge was used to gauge flows in the early 1970's. Both components are
theoretically rated with rating valid to 6.976 cumecs, flows above this limit
are missing. One rating applied across period of record. | Flows to May
1973 suspect due to error in gauged head and rounding of crest during cleaning.
Flows above the rating limit are missing e.g. 25/06/2007. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Predominantly Chalk catchment with around one third of catchment covered
with superficial deposits (Boulder Clay, sands and gravels and alluvium - gravel
beds of glacial origin are found at Aby, South Thoresby, Thetford, South Ormsby
and Brinkhill. Deposits of beach gravels on the edge of Chalk cut through the
Chalk and a line of springs are formed which contribute a high baseflow to the
Eau. Land use is predominantly rural. Rural, predominantly arable land. |
Runoff influenced by gw abstraction/recharge. Small amounts of abstraction
for irrigation in summer. |

Station located in an urban area but gauging a predominantly rural, Chalk
catchment with some artificial influences. | Crump profile weir, 4.569m
wide, at u/s end of long culvert (capacity limited to 20 cumecs - yet to be
exceeded). Flows recorded 1966-1968 at sharp-crested weir at Bridge Street.
Charted data started at Tathwell Nov 1968, and South Elkington Mar-Nov
1968. | Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from January-1968 when theoretical rating applied. Theoretical rating
supported by current metering, but gaugings needed to confirm at high
flows. | Flood of 1920 estimated at approx. 140 cumecs. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Catchment is predominantly Chalk, with around one third covered
with superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Largely rural catchment with
mainly arable farming, although there is urban development (Louth) just upstream
of station. | Groundwater abstraction has a modest impact on flows; mill
regulation can also produce short-term artificial spikes. Work is underway to
construct two retention ponds on the Lud. |

Compound structure, with major artificial influences. | Compound Crump
profile weir, with central crest 2.448m wide and total width of 9.131m. |
Structure drowns in high flows and is affected by weed growth in summer.
Gauging at 0.73m (4.96 cumecs) is thought to be unreliable. Theoretical rating
confirmed to 5.5 cumecs (0.6m). One rating applied across period of record. |
POTs at this site had to be adjusted to account for datum correction. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Flat low-lying catchment. Geology: clay and Lincolnshire
L'st, significant cover of superficial deposits - mainly Boulder Clay and
confined to E half of catchment. Rural, predominantly arable land. |
Regime influenced by gw abstraction/recharge. Flows are very heavily
augmented in summer from Trent-Witham-Ancholme transfer scheme. Reservoir(s) in
catchment affect runoff. |

Structure gauging upper, more natural, parts of catchment. | Crump
profile weir (crest length 3.658m). Removed from peak flows dataset in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Station drowns above about 9 cumecs, and
relationship between u/s and d/s levels depends on weed growth and the
disposition of sluices and gates at Harlam Weir 3.5km d/s. Data removed from
peak flow dataset due to significant scatter in gaugings and two flood-storage
reservoirs impacting flows above QMED. Theoretical calibration. One rating
applied across period of record. | Missing daily flow for June 2019 event
as stage exceeded rating. | Upper parts of the catchment elevated, highest
point around 150mASL (Lincolnshire Wolds), but most of the catchment is flat and
low lying. Predominantly clay, over half of the catchment is covered with
superficial deposits of blown sand and Boulder Clay. Predominantly rural
catchment, mixed arable and pasture. | Abstractions for PWS in the upper
reaches has some effect on summer low flows. Some effluent returns. Missing data
in recent years due to stage exceeding upper limit of the rating. |

Flat V weir immediately u/s of entry point of flows from a reservoir. |
Flat V weir (3.03m wide). The station is immediately u/s of entry point of
flows from Toft Newton reservoir. | There is no drowning or bypassing.
Theoretical calibration, confirmed by check gaugings. Rating expected to be
modular up to bank full but gauging at 0.4m introduces some uncertainty.
Theoretical rating applied across period of record. | POT has been
corrected to zero stage - was previously offset by 1m. Site inoperative due to
vandalism 10/04/2002-05/01/2003. Low flows in May 2003 are suspect. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Flat, low-lying catchment, with elevated upper part, developed on
Lincolnshire L'st and clays, with some Boulder Clay cover in E half.
Predominantly rural, mainly arable land. | No major abstractions or

Gauging a predominantly rural catchment with mixed geology and substantial
artificial influences. | An old three level weir, total width of 24.99m
converted to a standard broad-crested Lea design. | No bypassing or
drowning. Fairly insensitive but range and gauge quality good. Rated by current
meter. Scatter in gaugings evident. One rating applied across period of
record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | The catchment is about half clay and
half limestone, mainly clay d/s of Grantham. Some superficial deposits of
Boulder Clay in headwaters and gravel terrace deposits in valleys. Some drainage
from the Lincolnshire Limestone in the form of springs. Other springs have been
found to emanate from gravel beds perched on the Lias Clays. Largely rural,
although Grantham is within the catchment. | Substantial modification of
low flows by transfer to Rutland Water and PWS at Saltersford; >50% of low
flows may be abstracted representing between 10 and 30% of average flow. Some
effluent returns. |

Several gauging structures have been used at this site, gauging a rural
catchment with mixed geology and some artificial influences. | Ultrasonic
gauge, commissioned 09/03/1999. Originally a natural section until Nov 1965,
replaced by a low flow compound Crump profile weir, which ceased operating in
Sept 1978 and was replaced by a flat V weir in June 1980. | Cableway in
early 1970s used for gauging the station rating. The structure operating since
June 1980 has the theoretical rating confirmed by check gaugings. Structure
drowns at about 19 cumecs. | | Flat catchment. Mixed geology, with
significant superficial deposits, predominantly Boulder Clay. Predominantly
rural but with some new urban development. | Runoff influenced by gw
abstraction/recharge. Runoff reduced by industrial/agricultural abstraction.
Irrigation abstractions reduce summer low flows. |

Gauging a rural catchment with mixed geology located in the Lincolnshire
Wolds, with modest artificial influences. | Broad-crested weir 4.6m wide
situated in old lock; rated by model tests. Small bypass channel u/s feeds
original river course and a disused model flume (wall ht=1.136m), gauged by
sharp-crested weir. | Rating derived from model tests. One rating applied
across period of record. | Flows over bypass not processed since 1981 and
subsequent low flows therefore underestimated however peak flows will not be
significantly affected. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Catchment is mainly Chalk
and clay, with sandstone in the headwaters, largely overlain by superficial
deposits (predominantly Boulder Clay, with alluvium and sands and gravels along
valley bottom). Rural catchment, predominantly arable land. | Revesby
Reservoir has a very minor influence, and abstractions for irrigation may be
significant in summer months. |

Crump weir gauging a rural catchment with mixed geology located in
Lincolnshire Wolds, with minor artificial influences. | Crump weir with 5m
crest. | The weir is probably non-modular at very high flows due to
backing up behind struts and a bridge, but is bypassed just before this point.
Rated by model tests and confirmed by check gaugings to highest gauging of 0.6m.
One rating applied across period of record. | Station was bypassed in Oct
1993. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). | Catchment with mixed permeability bedrock geology and
some superficial deposits. Wholly rural, predominantly arable land use. |
Abstraction for irrigation in upper reaches and some abstraction for PWS may
have effect on low flows in summer. |

Compound structure gauging a rural catchment u/s of Grantham, mixed geology
and significant artificial influences. | Compound weir with round-crested
low flow weir, 1.83m wide, and broad-crested high flow portion, 8.25m wide. The
Measuring Authority recorded these structures separately until 1985. |
Discharge computed from a single stage recorder to 1973, when it was
discovered that a trout screen diverted flow over high flow weir. Second
recorder installed, which was removed in Feb 1985 when trout screen was removed.
One rating applied across period of record. | Data prior to 1973 should
not be used; data from 1973 to 1985 calculated from addition of high & low
flow weir. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Flat catchment, underlain by l'st and

Rectangular thin plate weir gauging a predominantly rural catchment with
gw-dominated regime and very low or zero summer/autumn flows. Significant
artificial influences. | Rectangular thin-plate weir 1.372m wide set in
old gate site, modified in 1984. | Weir does not drown - modular limit pre
weir 3 cumecs and post weir 12 cumecs. Theoretical rating, with section above
thin-plate treated as broad-crested weir. Gaugings taken at footbridge in
Sleaford (below Carre Lane). Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record, pre- and post- modification of the weir, with post-1984 rating
accounting for bypass flow. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Predominantly l'st with some superficial deposits including river terrace
deposits (sand and gravel) in valley. Rural catchment, mixed agriculture, some
urban development in lower catchment u/s of station. | Unresponsive,
gw-dominated catchment with intermittent flow regime. Runoff influenced by
groundwater abstraction/recharge, including abstraction for industry, and
agriculture. Groundwater abstraction has potential for reducing summer low
flows. Limestone spring flow rises and falls rapidly depending on groundwater
level. |

Crump weir gauging a rural catchment with mixed geology, located in the
Lincolnshire Wolds. | Free-fall drop under bridge calibrated by c/m until
Dec 1969 and standard full-range Crump profile weir (crest length 4.877m) since
Aug 1971 (no records between). | Three ratings applied across period of
record, the first pre-weir, the second valid from 1971 when Crump installed, the
third from 1979 following rating review. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Catchment on the scarp slope of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Underlain by Chalk
and s'st with more than half of the catchment covered with superficial deposits,
mainly Boulder Clay and some sands and gravels. Rural catchment, predominantly
arable farming. | Regime influenced by gw abstraction/recharge.
Abstraction for irrigation could have significant effect on low flows in dry
summers. Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff. |

Gauging a predominantly rural catchment with upper part located in the
Lincolnshire Wolds, minimal artificial influences. | Before 1998, compound
Crump profile weir with (non-processed) crest tapping which became non-modular
above about 2 cumec (stage 0.42m) leading to uncertainty in high flows. Central
weir 1.225m wide, total width 5.791m. Divide piers lowered in 1986 to stop
debris entrapment. Replaced by 8m wide Flat V with crest tapping. | Use
mainframe rating up to maximum rating limit, no out of bank rating
available. | Missing data from 12/1997-10/1998 due to construction of new
weir during this period. Peak flow on 25/04/1981-26/04/1981 not available as
station non-modular, stage peaked at 1.61m. | Upper part of the catchment
located in Lincolnshire Wolds but lower part near the station is flat and low
lying. Underlain by Kimmeridge Clay. Extensive superficial deposits, mainly
Boulder Clay, blown sand and alluvium. Rural, mixed farming with minor urban
development along river valley u/s of station. | No major abstractions or
returns. |

Crump weir gauging a rural, limestone catchment with minor artificial
influences. | British Standard Crump profile weir 2.445m wide, 2.667mAOD,
at centre section. Raised walls at Crump weir sides, level 3.426mAOD, with flat
concrete surface between each wall and channel bank 1.53m wide. | When
upstream level higher than Crump walls, whole structure acts as non-standard
compound weir. Known to drown at high flows. No high flow gaugings are available
and so higher flows should be treated with caution. Theoretical calibration. One
rating applied across period of record. | GDF POR maximum listed as 5.69
cumecs in Jan 1998. Maximum peak flow of 12.9 cumecs registered in Jul 2001.
This was undoubtedly a large event caused by >80mm rainfall, but considerable
uncertainty surrounds the magnitude owing to extrapolation. Unusual pattern of
flows in Apr 2007 thought to be due to accretion and weir cleaning. Some
anomalous recessions in e.g. 1994, 1998, 1999, the reason for which is unknown.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Drainage channel in low lying area draining highland
limestone, largely covered with Boulder Clay. Rural catchment with mixed farming
and, mainly in upper catchment, significant woodland. Catchment area is 11.05 sq
km in 1972 ref, 11.9 sq km in NRFA. | Abstractions for irrigation have
minor effect on summer low flows (e.g. August 2017). |

Compound structures gauging the total flow of the river Glen from a rural
catchment with mixed geology and significant artificial influences. |
Compound structure site. Kates Bridge was originally a broad-crested weir,
replaced in Nov 1971 by Flat V weir, 9.7m wide, Ultrasonic gauge for high flows
installed in 1999. Combined with standing-wave flume at King Street. Ultrasonic
measurement closed in February 2013. | All recorded flows within modular
limits. During flood periods, some flow is diverted from the Glen down the
Greatford Cut, which is measured at King Street. The diversion is about 4 km
upstream from Kates Bridge on the Glen. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Mixed
geology of clay and limestone in headwaters. Significant superficial deposits,
mainly Boulder Clay. Rural catchment, mixed agricultural land use with some
woodland. Glen becomes a Fenland river below the gauging stations, and is a
losing stream in its upper reaches. Digital catchment created from separate
DTM-derived catchments for compound structure sites. | The Glen is
influent in upper reaches. Low flows reduced by irrigation abstractions,
influenced by pumping from gravel works and groundwater abstraction outside the
catchment. Flows also affected by Gwash-Glen transfer scheme since 1989. |

Compound site of three parts, gauging a predominantly rural catchment with
mixed geology, with significant artificial influences including the Rutland
water reservoir, record post 1994 are for indicative purposes only. |
Compound site. Flows measured over broad-crested weir (total width 28.35m)
on main River Welland/Maxey Cutand, two Crump profile weirs (both with 6.1m
crest length) on West Deeping, plus flow into Tallington stream and Lolham Mill
stream. Total flow is sum of three records - Lolham, West Deeping, and
Tallington. | Weir at Lolham drowns in summer due to weeds, and true flows
estimated. New improved theoretical rating developed to account for new Larinier
fish pass channel (0.6m wide) installed in December 2014. | Post-1994 flow
record contains many gaps and anomalous sequences and should be used for
indicative purposes only, particularly at low flows. 10 days missing in
March-April 2018 due to new huts at Lolham and West Deeping. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Site is at a place where river becomes Fenland river. Largely
clay, with some Boulder Clay cover. Rural catchment, mixed farming, some urban
development u/s of station. | About 11% of the catchment area drains into
Rutland Water construction on Gwash (drinking water reservoir) opened in 1976.
Significant quantities of water also abstracted u/s for transmission to Rutland
Water with significant effect on low flows. Abstraction in catchment also for
PWS, industry and agriculture. Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Station measuring peak flows from a rural catchment with mixed geology and
some artificial influences. | Rated VA station with cableway. A Crump weir
at Barrowden upstream measures the low flow range up to 4.3 cumecs, with Tixover
used above this. | Sluices at Doddington downstream affect flow below
11.33 cumecs, but are always open during high floods. Channel works as part of
the Stamford to Market Harborough improvement scheme in 1971 affected the rating
at Tixover - hence new rating from 01/10/1971. Two ratings applied across period
of record, the most recent is valid from 01/10/1971 after channel works were
conducted. Both ratings assume gates fully open at Doddington. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP

Crump weir gauging a predominantly rural catchment with flow largely
affected by the Rutland Water reservoir that began filling in 1975. Removed from
Peak Flow Dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Crump profile
weir (crest length 8.5m). | No drowning problems, designed to be modular
throughout range. Has been suggested that flow estimates are less reliable above
0.4m stage, but no gaugings to confirm either way. Theoretical Crump formula
rating used for the whole POR. | The presented POT data include only the
pre-reservoir period. | Clay and l'st, Boulder Clay covers about a third
of the catchment. Predominantly rural catchment with mixed farming, but
dominated by reservoir. Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.979 and should be used with the
pre-reservoir part of the records. Post-reservoir FARL is 0.757. | Station
is 13 km downstream of Rutland Water, which began filling in February 1975.
Flows since 1975 are dominated by this reservoir. Flows also affected by
Gwash-Glen transfer scheme, and PWS abstraction. Station is also downstream of
Ryhall pumping station. |

Crump weir gauge on the Welland. High flows bypass weir. | Crump weir
3.04m wide measures flows to 4.2 cumecs. Flow record from 1996 subject to
truncation when flows exceed this limit. High flows measured at Tixover
(31005). | Higher flows bypass weir via syphon and are measured d/s at
Tixover (31005). Tixover is a rated section about 18m wide with rating depending
on position of d/s sluices: assumed open in floods. Very high Tixover flows
possibly influenced by overbank spillage u/s. | Period-of-record maximum
flow of 107.8 cumecs recorded in March 1975, but the flood record is not
homogeneous owing to changes post-1997. Missing data in 2017 due to fish pass
construction. | Geology is mostly l'st overlain by 30% Boulder Clay and
alluvium. Rural catchment with mixed farming. | Eye brook reservoir has
little influence, but low flows reduced by abstractions. |

Simple Crump profile weir and multipath US gauge on the West Glen. Issues
with truncation of high flows. | Simple Crump profile weir, crest 1.83m
broad. Rated up to 0.49m (3.0 cumecs - flows truncated, hence not a full range
station). Multi-path, cross configuration ultrasonic gauge installed to measure
high flows from 2000, although truncation problem persists in recent flow
record. | Truncated and missing flows make for an unrepresentative annual
runoff. | Data from 1971-present. Missing data for 1992-1994. |
Predominantly agricultural catchment draining area east of the A1 between
Grantham and Stamford. | Flow regime affected by the Gwash-Glen transfer
scheme. Missing data in recent years due to stage exceeding upper limit of the
rating. |

Gauging a predominantly rural catchment with low permeability and with some
artificial influences. | Crump profile weir in realigned channel beneath
bridge. Weir has crest length of 6.97m. Original prebarrage and drop off weirs
removed in 2013. Replaced by broad-crested weir 8.7m downstream of gauging weir,
with rock prebarrage 3m further downstream. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Flows above 22 cumecs - including all
floods - influenced by bridge soffit and are therefore unreliable - removed from
peak flow dataset due to this truncation. Weir is theoretically calibrated to
wing wall height with rated section above. Theoretical rating applied to wing
wall height across period of record. | | Catchment developed on low
permeability bedrock geology with significant superficial deposits, mainly
Boulder Clay. Rural catchment with mixed farming; Market Harborough is in upper
catchment. | Abstractions for irrigation, and reservoir for maintenance of
canal flow. Some effluent returns. Missing data in recent years due to stage
exceeding upper limit of the rating. |

Series of sluices, weirs and lock on the Nene. | Series of sluices,
weirs and lock. High flows measured at Wansford (32010) and corrected. |
Ratings revised and historical data altered in 1975 and 1983. Ultrasonic
gauge tested in 1976 but abandoned. Flows >17 cumecs measured at Wansford
(32010) 12km u/s and corrected for smaller area. Wansford was a rated section
(ratings and data revised in 1981) but now has a cross, multiple path ultrasonic
gauge measuring the full-range. Provenance of 1947 peak data is uncertain and
under review, but this was undoubtedly an exceptional event. | |

Flat V weir gauging a predominantly urban catchment with significant urban
cover in the upper part. Artificial influences evident at low flows. |
From 2000, Flat V weir (with wall height 16.42mAOD). Pre-2000, structure was
a flume (1.676m wide throat, wall height 16.6mAOD). | Flat V weir is
subject to bypassing and considered unreliable above 1.2m. Pre-2000 flume rating
based on model tests, bypassing occurred at 6.5 cumecs and was not allowed for.
The most recent rating is valid from 2000 when weir reconstructed. Two ratings
applied across period of record. Pre-2000 rating considered unreliable above
1.38m; post-2000 rating considered unreliable above 1.2m. Flood plain flow is
considerable above QMED. | 1938-2000 record considered unreliable above
1.38m because of poor rating for that period. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Underlain
by clay in headwaters and some l'st, around half Boulder Clay cover. Largely
rural with mixed farming in lower catchment, but includes Corby in upper
catchment. Diversion caused loss of 4.66 sq.km of catchment to Harpers Brook in
1963. | Three small reservoirs continue to have minor influence on low
flows. Low flows significantly influenced by abstractions for Corby steelworks
(including imports from Eye Brook) until 1980. |

Site with several gauging structures throughout POR, gauging a predominantly
rural, natural catchment. | Rated section prior to 1965, then compound
Crump profile weir (central crest 1.22m, total crest length 3.66m). Replaced in
1998 by flat V (4.04m wide between existing wing walls). | The compound
Crump profile had calibration confirmed to 4.8 cumecs, but the weir drowned
around 7 cumecs and was bypassed in extreme floods. Current flat V is modular to
approx. 20 cumecs. Considerable floodplain inundation above about 1.5 QMED,
therefore significant uncertainty attends highest flows. Two ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from Oct 1998 when flat-V
installed. No ratings have out of bank limbs; 1938-1964 considered unreliable
above 1.99m, 1964-1998 unreliable above 1.67m, 1998-date unreliable above
1.7m. | Highest peak flow of 22 cumecs in 1981 is extrapolated and should
be treated with caution. The HIF of 15.6 cumecs on 10/04/1998 is likely to be an
under-estimate; the flow was not captured but it may have been the highest on
record. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Natural catchment. Low-lying impervious
catchment, clay largely covered with Boulder Clay. Predominantly agricultural
with some forest. Some ironstone mines working until early 1980s. Catchment area
increased by 8% (4.66sq.km) after diversion from Willow Brook in 1963. In April
1979, 3.64sq.km was diverted from Harpers Brook to Ise Brook - this is not
accounted for in the catchment area. | Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Site with several different structures installed throughout POR, gauging a
rural catchment with mixed geology and some artificial influences. | A
weir existed already in 1936, so a rectangular notch was cut in in Oct 1936. In
Jun-Dec 1943, the rectangular notch was replaced by a flume with low flow notch
and the bypass channel was straightened. In 1964, this flume was replaced by a
compound Crump weir (its construction. Finally, in 1976, a flat V weir with
5.15m crest was constructed. | Considerable flood plain flow above
bankfull. Crump weir was modular to 15.6 cumecs (but bypassed at 14.2 cumecs).
Flat V is also bypassed. Multiple ratings for various structures applied across
period of record, the most recent is valid from April-1976 (flat V) and accounts
for the bypassing. 1943-1965 rating considered unreliable above 1.6m, 1965-1976
rating unreliable above 1.39m. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Underlain by
clay and sandstone, nearly half covered with superficial deposits, mainly in
higher areas on catchment margins. Predominantly rural catchment of mixed
farming, but includes Kettering in lower catchment. | Two small storage
reservoirs with minor influence on low flows; receives Kettering effluent. |

Compound site of main channel and bypass channel with long POR gauging a
rural catchment on clay, with some artificial influences. | Compound site.
Main channel flow measured in 3.2m wide standing wave flume under mill. Flow in
bypass channel measured at Crump profile weir (crest 6.12m) since 1969 and flows
summed to produce total. | Very high flows bypass both channels. Before
1969 flows through bypass controlled by broad-crested weir with no recorder, and
total flows based on average relationship between levels in main channel and
bypass; rating for this period considered unreliable above 1.2m. Since 1969,
flows measured separately at mill and bypass; respective limits of reliability
are 1.2m (mill) and 1.05m (bypass). | | Mostly clay with some
superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. predominantly rural catchment with
land use of mixed farming. | No major abstractions but several sewage work
effluent returns. |

Compound site located in Northampton, gauging a catchment with mixed geology
and three reservoirs significantly affecting runoff. | Compound site. Main
channel flow measured in 2.743m wide standing-wave flume in mill race. Flow in
bypass channel measured at 9.11m wide broad-crested weir and flows summed to
produce total. | Bypassing of both structures commences at about 17
cumecs. No recorder on bypass before 1969, total flows were estimated using
average relationship between levels in flume and bypass. 1940-1969 AMAX gives
total flow at mill and bypass sites; considered unreliable above 1.39m.
Post-1969 mill rating unreliable above 1.11m. | | Mixed geology,
mostly clay, about one third covered with Boulder Clay. Predominantly rural
catchment of mixed farming. Urban development (Northampton) in lower catchment,
u/s of station. Significant water reservoirs in the catchment. |
Abstraction from reservoirs reduce low flows. Some effluent returns.
Pitsford reservoir (filled between 1952 and 1956) is the largest of the three
PWS reservoirs controlling flow from about one third of the catchment. |

Gauging a catchment with mixed geology, predominantly rural land use, and
with some significant artificial influences. | Crump profile weir with
2.667m crest replaced broad-crested weir with low flow notch in 1967. |
Weir theoretically calibrated, but bypassing begins at 7 cumecs (1.038m).
Weir can drown at high flows, floodplain flow is considerable once the river is
out of bank, so flows are significantly underestimated from about 1.1m stage.
Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from Dec
1966 when weir was replaced. No allowances for out of bank flow, thus ratings
unreliable above 1.45m pre-1966 and 1.4m post-1966. Scatter in gaugings above
0.3m. High flows measured 2km upstream at Flore Hill. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Mostly clay with nearly half of the catchment covered with
superficial deposits (Boulder Clay, glacial sand and gravel in lower valley).
Predominantly rural with mixed farming but some urban areas present, especially
in W. Daventry and Drayton reservoirs in catchment (8.65 sq.km), built in 1804.
Motorways (M1, M45) cross the catchment. | Reservoirs and abstractions
affect regime, and low flows influenced by returns from STW. Abstraction for
supply to Grand Union Canal. |

Velocity-area station measuring peak flows only superseded by an ultrasonic
station in 1996. Gauging a predominantly rural catchment with significant urban
areas, with mixed geology, and with significant artificial influences. |
Cross, multiple path (6 velocity and 1 depth) ultrasonic gauge installed
01/06/1996. Previously was a 97m wide VA station with cable way for current
metering and sounding, for flows over 28.3 cumecs, used for high flow
measurement on River Nene, with low and medium flows measured at Nene at Orton
(32001). | Structure spills into a lake on the right bank. Bankfull was
originally 9.4 mAOD, increasing to 10.3 mAOD after bank raising work in 1964.
Datum used for majority of record is 7.9mAOD but discrepancies found over years
(maximum 120mm), accepted level record accuracy +-50mm. Multiple peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. Current rating unreliable above 1.9m
with no out of bank limb post-1964 (2.34m). | Dataset up to October 1970
has been reset to same datum (7.9 mAOD). Peak flows held (no daily means) during
velocity area operation and rejected until 1964 because of rating uncertainty.
Although ultrasonics were installed in 1996, data quality was poor until 2004
when the NRFA daily flow record begins. Missing data in May 2020 due to upgrade
of ultrasonic gauge. | Mixed geology, moderate to very low permeability.
Predominantly agricultural land use but several small towns in the catchment.
Northampton is completely within this catchment on R. Nene. | Flows
influenced by abstractions for public water supply. Water level below 8.36mAOD
affected by mill operation at Water Newton. Navigation retention level is
8.0mAOD. |

Flat V weir gauge on the Slade Brook, recording full range post-1995. Most
high flows truncated or missing pre-1995. | Full-range Flat V weir.
Replaced low flow simple Crump profile weir (crest 2.42m broad, rated up to
0.3m: 0.848 cumecs) in early 1988, following river improvements. | |
Most high flows are truncated or missing in pre-1995 record; water balance
more realistic over subsequent years. Due to subsisdence at the station, low
flow data from 17th November 2023 onwards may be of reduced quality. Temporary
equipment has been used since this date until the station can be rebuilt. |
Catchment is 50% clay and 50% s'st, with over 20% cover of Boulder Clay.
Rural headwaters, with urban development (Kettering) in lower catchment. |

Trapezoidal critical depth flume gauging only low flows of a responsive
catchment but producing a patchy record. | Trapezoidal critical depth
flume. Low flows only. Built upstream of the culvert beneath the M1 motorway.
Station removed from peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Rated to 1.92m (8.49 cumecs). Rating based on theoretical equations for
flume. No check gauging carried out at this site. One peak flow rating across
period of record. | Patchy record. | Entirely rural and consists
mainly of Jurassic and drift clay. There are small pockets of limestone and
gravel sand. | Responsive regime. |

Complex structure measuring discharge from Bedford Ouse, providing
indication of runoff patterns between 1936 and 1962. | Station consisted
of a navigation lock and three radial gates with a low flow notch. |
Complicated hydrometric arrangement, with no unique stage-discharge
relationship. Low flows based on gate openings. Rated section for high flows,
using calibration by float measurement. | Record likely to be of poor
quality, but provides indication of runoff patterns from 1936-62. | Large,
mixed catchment. Geology of Great Oolite and Oxford clays, with substantial
Boulder Clay cover. Mixed rural land use, some urban development in lower
valleys. | |

Compound broad-crested weir with the oldest record in HA 33. From 1972, more
convincing flow series available from Roxton d/s (33039). Station closed
31/12/2015. | 3 broad-crested weirs, 30m, 20m and 12m wide + 3 vertical
sluice gates (either fully open/closed). Duckmill Weir is a broad crested weir
with 2 sluice gates; width 30.48m, wing wall 25.885mAOD. Boathouse Weir is a
broad crested weir, width 19.5m. Newnham Weir is a weir with 1 sluice gate,
width 11.8m. Removed from peak flows dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP Files
v6). | Above bankfull, water spills over right bank to join d/s channel.
Lock gates opened at high flows. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Confirmed by current meter measurements, the rating assumes set gate
openings. Recommended to be used to bankfull only. | From 1972, more
convincing flow series available from Roxton d/s (33039). The Apr 1998 peak flow
is thought to be an overestimate. The period-of-record maximum is believed to
have occurred in Mar 1947; no peak flow available but is unlikely to be
significantly higher than the DMF (278 cumecs). Records before 1959 based on
daily gauge-board levels and gate openings (limited accuracy, few HIFs &
many replicated GDFs). Flow record may be inaccurate due to flow manipulation
(kayaking) and 33039 should be used instead. | Predominantly clay. Mainly
agricultural land use with substantial urban development over last 25
years. | Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff. Surface and groundwater
abstractions in catchment for PWS and Milton Keynes' effluent significant. |

Station gauging a navigation lock with Bury St Edmunds and large gw
abstractions in the catchment dominated by Chalk geology and arable
agriculture. | Navigation lock with vertical lift gate u/s plus a 16m
broad high level weir in bypass channel for flood flows only. Small notch
inserted in 1980. 1986 weir was lowered, altered to triangular profile and flows
diverted to the bypass channel. The lock is now used during high flows
only. | | Since 1968 major peaks diverted through cutoff channel
(10km u/s) - to the Relief Channel at Denver. | Chalk, predominantly
arable. | Two large gw abstractions (Bury St Edmunds). |

Flow records generally affected by sluice movement and implementation of
digital recording in 1979. | Flat V Crump profile weir 10.2m wide and two
sluice gates 3.6m broad. Before 1976 weir was broad-crested with centre V
notch. | A bypass channel exists, but operation of gates has ensured the
highest flows have been recorded. Significant scatter in gaugings as a result of
differing gate positions. | Since 1979, peak flow recordings have been
digital but recorded only upstream stage, not gate opening and downstream level.
Peak flows since 1979 are therefore unreliable and rejected. Daily flows not
calculated since Aug 1991. Inaccurate DMF measurement complicated by automatic
sluice movement which was not integrated into flow calculation methods. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | The catchment is flat and lies mainly on the Great Oolite.
One large tributary drains an area of Oxford Clay. There is a water supply
reservoir and a number of ornamental lakes in the catchment. | Flows
affected by reservoirs in catchment. Abstraction for public water supply, and
industrial and agricultural uses reduces runoff. Runoff increased by effluent
returns. |

Single site until 1983, since then a compound site with flows calculated as
summation of the main flume and a side flume. | Flow record is summation
of a rectangular critical depth flume (4.9m wide) and a flume on a separate side
stream which takes approx. 30-40% of the runoff. Streams rejoin just d/s of
gauges. Post-1983, the flow from the second weir (side stream) was recorded, and
33006 is the summation of both structures. Eel tiles are installed on the main
stream. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Drowning common - flows adjusted. Flows are the summation of two
weirs. In 1980, Northwold Brook was diverted into the Wissey and Little River
equally. More recently, all flow has been diverted into the Little River. |
DMF in June-Dec 2007 were anomalously high and therefore adjusted by the
Environment Agency; values appear plausible but should be treated with caution.
Since 2012, non-modular flow has become more common and occurs at lower stages.
This is currently under investigation. | Chalk largely overlain by Boulder
Clay (permeable in parts). Low population density. Largely arable in upper
(northern) catchment, extensive grassland, heathland, and some woodland in lower
(southern) part of catchment. | Abstraction for public water supply,
industry and agriculture. Effluent returns increase runoff. Limited net impact
of abstractions and discharges but spray irrigation increasing (substantial
proportion from groundwater). |

Critical depth flume measuring Chalk catchment with predominantly
agricultural land use. | Round nosed horizontal crest weir (7.13m wide).
Prior to April 1982, low flow flume in centre making structure 7.47m wide (now
sealed off). | Weed growth can be a problem during summer if not cut
regularly. Level measurements taken just upstream of weir. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record. Modular limit is estimated at 6 cumecs and is
accounted for in the current rating. | Anomalous summer flows in June 2004
and August 2006, resulting from locals damming the weir. HIF POR updated in
2014. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). | Chalk catchment overlain by Boulder Clay in upper
reaches. Agricultural land use, predominantly arable. | Surface water
abstraction for PWS immediately u/s of station. Also surface/groundwater
abstraction in catchment for industry/agriculture. Three small underground
abstractions were abandoned in 1986. Effluent returns may increase runoff. |

Compound weir gauging a predominantly clay catchment with near-natural flow
regime. | Compound weir with triangular profile centre section 3m wide and
broad-crested flanks in a trapezoidal channel, 8.5m wide. One of 3 stations used
to calculate Offord flow to determine abstraction regime at Grafham Water. No
major bridge/weir change from 1959 drawings to H Reed 1994 survey. |
Downstream level used to flag non-modularity. Peak flow rating takes
non-modularity into account but there is a high degree of scatter. One peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. There is a stage offset of +1m in
WISKI. This has been applied to all stage data, ratings, gaugings, bankfull and
wingwall height. | Peak flows rejected between 1963 and 1966 due to low
confidence. Water year 2002/2003 rejected due to AMAX occurring during missing
period in Jan-Mar 2003. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Predominantly clay catchment
- very flashy by Anglian standards. Agricultural, predominantly arable. |
Predominantly natural regime with modest abstractions for agriculture. Some
effluent returns. |

Gauging a catchment with minor artificial influences using a theoretical
rating. | Rectangular thin-plate weir, 8.8m broad, suppressed end
contractions. | Rating theoretical. Rating confirmed by gaugings to 0.6m,
non-modular conditions unaccounted for. One rating applied across period of
record. | Flows in 2014 may be affected by periodic damming. Since 2012
the site suffers from sudden and localized changes in river flow which manifest
as short term increase, decrease, and recovery in GDF and as HIF much higher
than GDF. Occasional gate openings upstream cause short-term increases in flow
which only last a few hours. During low flows these increases may be reflected
in HIFs and AMAX but have a minor effect on GDFs. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). |
Predominately Chalk with Boulder Clay cover. Agricultural land use,
predominantly arable. | Minor groundwater abstractions for PWS and

Gauging a predominantly rural catchment with mixed bedrock, influenced by
Leighton Buzzard and by Milton Keys in the lower part, high flows may be
underestimated. | Flat V Crump profile weir (10m broad) and sluices. The
present weir replaced a compound broad-crested weir (10m broad) with bypass
channel in 1977 when the river was realigned. | Radial lifting gate
immediately u/s of weir diverts very high flows to adjacent balancing reservoir
which empties d/s of weir. This may result in high flows being appreciably less
than those seen upstream at Bletchley (33058). Annual floods do not bypass. FSR
Grade A1 in 1971. Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent
is valid from July 1977 when weir rebuilt. | Monthly maxima (HIFs) may be
offset from daily mean flows during periods of gate movement. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Mixed bedrock geology, with Greensand and Oxford Clay and some
Boulder Clay cover. Primarily a rural catchment of mixed agriculture, although
Leighton Buzzard is in catchment, and southern suburbs of Milton Keynes are
situated in lower valley just u/s of station. | Runoff influenced by
industrial/agricultural abstraction and effluent returns. |

Compound broad-crested weir gauging a predominantly Chalk catchment. Station
has record length over 50 years. | Compound broad-crested trapezoidal
weir, 7.6m broad; central notch, 2.7m broad. | The weir is subject to
drowning at high flows with some bypassing on the left bank; further gaugings
required to confirm extent of this. Theoretical rating since Aug 1970.
Previously, rating derived using a hydraulic model. Full EA rating developed in
2012 combining existing EA rating for first 3 segments, regression through check
gaugings for segments 4 and 5, and an EA modelled high flow rating used for the
top segment. New rating applied to length of record. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Predominantly Chalk overlain with 50% Boulder Clay. Agricultural
land use. | Runoff increased by effluent returns and reduced by
industrial/agricultural abstraction. |

Triangular profile weir gauging rural, predominantly Chalk catchment, and
with some artificial influences. | Triangular profile weir, 6.2m
broad. | Infrequent drowning due to weed growth. Intense localised
rainfall causes flashy response. Theoretical rating modified Apr 68. One peak
flow rating applied across period of record. Out of bank and non-modular
gaugings required to review rating. | Significant high flow event in
September 1968 missing from record. Flows in autumn 2003 raised by flow
augmentation during drought conditions. 2007-2008 late summer peak flows suspect
due to possible stilling well blockage causing underestimation of flows. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | Predominantly Chalk catchment largely overlain by Boulder
Clay. Primarily arable land, with some grassland and forestry. | Flows are
affected by groundwater abstraction for agriculture/industry, and by groundwater
augmentation during drought conditions which can significantly raise flows.
Sharp increases and decreases in flow due to surface water outfall just upstream
of weir.Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Flat V weir gauging a rural, impervious catchment with some artificial
influences. Record includes data from earlier broad-crested weir. | Flat V
weir in trapezoidal channel (used to have ultrasonic for use when head above
crest >1m) replaced (from 03/06/1995) former broad-crested CP weir with
central low flow notch (closed in Sep 1993). Removed from peak flows dataset in
May 2016 (WINFAP Files v4). | Drowns at approx. 1m stage and spills at 2m
on a nearby horse racecourse. High flows impeded by bridges u/s and d/s.
Theoretical rating but hydraulic model calibration for flanks prior to Apr 1978.
Pre 1993 rating modified by current meter measurement to correct for
drowning. | The highest flow on record is estimated by the EA to be 70
cumecs on 10/04/1998, although the gauge was subject to bypassing. Data post
1995 reprocessed following rating review. High flows from pre-1995 structure and
post-1995 structure appear inconsistent. | Predominantly impervious
catchment, Boulder Clay covers about half of the area. Agricultural land use,
mainly arable. | Runoff affected by industrial/agricultural abstraction
and effluent returns. |

Trapezoidal weir gauging a predominantly Chalk catchment with primarily
arable land and with significant artificial influences. | Trapezoidal
cross-section weir with triangular profile crest, 6.1m broad. Also called
Haslingfield (Burnt Mill). Consistent records available of groundwater pump
operation. Pre barrage fish pass and eel tiles installed. | Weir drowns at
high flows, starting from 0.48m stage and drowns completely at higher flows,
worsened during summer due to weed growth d/s. Non-modular conditions are
accounted for in the current rating. Rating modified by current meter
measurements to correct for drowning and applied across period of record. Part
of the Rhee groundwater support scheme, which triggers at combined flow of 301
l/s to maintain flow. | GDF and HIF from 2013/10/24 to 2015/03/04 was
updated after September 2014 to compensate for site maintenance. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Predominantly Chalk catchment partly overlain with Boulder Clay in
NW. Primarily arable land. | Substantial groundwater abstractions for PWS,
plus industrial and agricultural abstractions. Some effluent returns.
Augmentation from gw sources to regulate river flow - scheme aims to maintain
minimum 0.3 cumecs flow at g/s. |

Crump profile gauging a catchment with mixed bedrock and significant
artificial influences. | Crump profile weir 7.31m wide. Drowning occurs at
0.91m (rating includes drowning correction). Significant bypassing of station
upstream. Pre-1966 record of poorer quality. One of 3 stations used to calculate
Offord flows to determine abstraction regime at Grafham Water. |
Significant bypassing when stage exceeds 1.1m causing 'truncation' effect in
annual maxima series. Hydrograph reflects u/s mill operation. One rating applied
across period of record based on current meter gaugings. There is no correction
for non modularity as spot flows suggest modular to at least 1m. No correction
has been made for out of bank flow and spot flows are taken downstream of
bypass. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | The Ivel rises near Hitchin and flows
north across Greensand, Chalk and Gault Clays to meet the Great Ouse east of
Bedford. Predominantly superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay with some
glacial sands and gravels. Predominantly agricultural, with some urban
development. | Effluent from STW has substantial effect on low flows. Many
abstractions for spray irrigation, and groundwater abstractions for PWS. |

Station gauging a relatively small spring-fed stream with relatively short
record of unrealistic runoff. | Sharp-crested weir inside converted mill
building, with a bypass gate to a mill wheel. | | Owners
manipulated bypass gate, with no record kept of such openings, which limits
accuracy of flows (particularly high flows, so unsuitable for flood
purposes). | Small rural catchment, Chalk with some Boulder Clay. |
Spring-fed stream, with unrealistic runoff because contributing area is
greater than topographical catchment. |

Complex structure with no formal gauging. Offord flow is calculated using
stations Roxton: 33039, Meagre Farm: 33012 and Blunham: 33022. | Offord
Flow = (33039 + 33012 + 33022) x 1.08 - abstraction. The contribution of the
station components depends on catchment response, with Roxton: 33039
contributing ~70-90%, Meagre Farm: 33012 contributing ~0-5% and Blunham: 33022
contributing the rest.Historic gauging from complex of automatic radial tilting
weir, 15.2m broad; triangular profile weir, 14.8m broad; compound broad-crested
weir, 22.7m broad. | Navigation lock opened at flows above 40 cumecs. |
October 2016 - full period of record for net flows provided and loaded to
NRFA, peak flow data were deleted as this is a complex site. Pollution
monitoring can lead to the cessation of the abstraction pumps resulting in flow
increases and subsequent drops, e.g., 03/09/2007-11/09/2007 and
20/02/2008-25/02/2008. | Large catchment of mixed geology, with
substantial superficial deposits (about half Boulder Clay). Mixed agricultural
land use with some substantial urban areas (Milton Keynes, Bedford) although
overall urban fraction is small. | Substantial surface water abstractions
for PWS, industry and agriculture. Significant gw abstractions. Abstraction 2km
u/s for Grafham Water Res. (approx. 2 cumecs). |

Two crump weirs gauging a predominantly Chalk catchment with agricultural
land use, topographical catchment area substantially exceeds the true
contributing area. | Two Crump profile weirs in parallel, 3m broad in
total. | Weirs never drown. Small bypass channel with weir upstream of
station, rejoining downstream of weir, is factored in to the stage-discharge
relationship. One rating applied across period of record. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Topographical catchment area substantially exceeds the true
contributing area (by a factor of about two). Catchment area was determined in
different ways. Area 55 sq. km is taken from the GA catchment area review of the
Heacham/Wensum catchment boundary in 1996. This reduces the area from 59 sq. km,

Crump profile gauging a predominantly Chalk catchment with arable farming
and urban development, flows affected by weir drowning and artificial influences
in the catchment. | Crump profile weir, 7m broad. Removed from peak flows
dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Highest recorded flow was
contained by weir banks. Subject to drowning at peak flows, but flows are not
corrected. Out of bank rare and floodplain limb not verified. Few gaugings to
confirm rating which is uncertain. Station subject to drowning with no
non-modular correction. | Flows in August 2010 affected by drowning. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Predominantly Chalk catchment, with significant superficial
deposits (Boulder Clay, sands and gravels). Predominantly arable farming but
with significant urban development (Hitchin). | Significant gw
abstractions for PWS. Industrial/agricultural abstractions also occur.
Augmentation by effluent affects diurnal flow pattern. |

Rectangular section Crump profile weir gauging predominantly rural, Chalk
catchment with some artificial influences.Eel tiles installed. |
Rectangular section Crump profile weir with downstream recorder. Replaced
33008 (Thetford Staunch) in 1968. | Weir subject to drowning and spills on
rare occasions, with a very small amount of bypassing on left bank at high
flows, but potential for further erosion. Subject to weed growth, on crest and
in channel. One peak flow rating applied across period of record, not thought to
account for out of bank flows. | Instrument hut vandalised in August 2000
and rebuilt in 2001/2002, peak flow data missing until August 2002. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Chalk with largely overlain with superficial deposits, mainly
Boulder Clay. Predominantly arable with significant areas of forest and
heathland, particularly in centre and E. Urban development (Thetford) just u/s
of station. | Affected by gw abstraction/recharge and, since the late
1980s, low flows augmented with groundwater in drought conditions. Abstraction
mainly for industry and agriculture. Some effluent returns. |

Complex structure gauging the whole of Ely Ouse catchment but with major
gaps and inconsistencies in the flow record so the data should be used with
great caution. | Three sluices: d/s sluice discharges flow to maintain
level in Relief Channel; u/s sluice diverts surplus into Cut Off Channel;
dividing sluice can raise level by 0.6m, reversing flow in the Cut Off Channel
where it is abstracted at Blackdyke and diverted into the headwaters of Essex
rivers (Ely Ouse/Essex Transfer Scheme). Larrinier fish pass installed. |
| Data should be used with great caution. In high floods gates are
raised permitting channel to be used for original flood protection purpose.
Complexity of the structure and its management is reflected in the homogeneity
of the flow series - which has extensive periods with no data or zero
flows. | Low lying catchment. Mixed geology with predominantly peat and
alluvium on Fenland Plain and with Chalk overlain with Boulder Clay in higher
regions to E and S. W is predominantly clay. High quality agricultural
land. | Abstractions and diversion into the headwaters of Essex rivers
(Ely Ouse/Essex Transfer Scheme). |

Compound site of main weir and mill weir gauging a catchment with mixed
geology and mixed land use. | Compound site. Main weir is Compound Crump
profile weir (29.3m broad), with central notch (3m broad) and downstream
recorder. Separate, complementary Crump weir (3.7m broad) constructed in old
mill throttle, 7m u/s of a double arch culvert. Flow record combines the main
weir with a weir in the mill channel. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | The mill weir is subject to drowning
at high flows and therefore affects the total flows too. Combined rating for
both main and mill weirs, based on stage at main weir. This rating is not used
for generation of modern flow data. Rating fits poorly to available gaugings at
extreme high flows, however this is likely to be due to flow bypassing/channels
becoming undefined. | Early peak flow data rejected due to uncertainty in
stage data and rating. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Mixed geology with
significant component of permeable rocks, much of which is overlain by Boulder
Clay. Mixed land use, arable land and grassland, some forest and some urban
development in lower catchment. | Influenced by gw abstraction/recharge
and some effluent returns. Abstractions for PWS approx. 25km u/s, and
abstractions within catchment for industry/agriculture. |

Flat V Crump profile weir gauging a mixed land use catchment, mixed geology
and with some artificial influences. | Flat V Crump profile weir (26m
broad) with downstream recorder, situated immediately u/s of confluence with R.
Ivel. Use in preference to Bedford (33002) if possible. | Drowns at very
high flows (e.g. Easter Floods 1998), is influenced by timing of flood peak on
R. Ivel, and can spill on rare occasions. Adjacent lock acts as an overspill in
flood conditions. There is great uncertainty when levels go above 1.8m above
crest. A single rating applied across period of record, however, there are
multiple ratings that have been used in its history. Includes floodplain and
non-modular flow. Assumes lock shut. | The POR maximum flow in April 1998
was extrapolated and subject to bypassing but thought to be a reasonable
estimate in a contemporary report by WS Atkins. POR reprocessed in 2018, changes
mainly in 2010 to 2013. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Mixed geology, including
significant Clay and Greensand fractions, with about half of the catchment
covered with Boulder Clay. Predominantly agricultural with substantial urban
development (Milton Keynes and Bedford). | Regime influenced by
groundwater abstraction/recharge. Some effluent returns. Significant surface
water and gw abstractions for PWS, industry and agriculture. One of 3 stations
used to calculate Offord flows to determine abstraction regime at Grafham
Water. |

Crump weir gauging a Chalk rural catchment with some artificial influences,
station reconstructed in 1979. | Crump profile weir, 6m broad. Prior to
Oct 1979, broad-crested weir (crest: 7.4m), situated under double-arch
bridge. | Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most
recent is valid from October-1979. Current rating only reliable to bankfull.
Dredging increased modular limit. Theoretical rating for original weir confirmed
by c/m measurements. Part of the Thet-Little Ouse groundwater support scheme,
which triggers at 350 l/s to maintain flow. These trigger flows apply when the
scheme is being used as a river support scheme for water users (not for Ely Ouse
to Essex Transfer Scheme). The amount pumped in any one season is initially
limited to 3 per cent of the annual licenced quantity of the Thet-Little Ouse
scheme. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Chalk with large Boulder Clay cover.
Rural catchment, arable with some forest and grassland, several small
towns. | Regime influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge.

Compound broad-crested weir gauging a Chalk catchment with large Boulder
Clay overlay and predominantly arable land use. Flows are heavily affected by
artificial influences. | Compound broad-crested weir (crest 3m), with
central notch separated by splitter plates; situated under a road bridge. |
No out of bank flow rating and weir known to drown during high flows which
is not accounted for. Road embankment prevents bypassing. One rating applied
across period of record. Theoretical rating modified by current meter
measurements suitable to 0.64m. | Weir drowned in 1968 floods. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Predominantly Chalk largely overlain with Boulder Clay.
Predominantly arable land. | Flow regime altered by pumping of two
boreholes into the river u/s of Quidenham to support Ely Ouse to Essex Transfer
Scheme (abstraction point at Hockwold on the Little Ouse). This can lead to
artifically raised flows during the summer. Other abstractions in the
catchment. |

Crump profile gauging a Chalk catchment largely overlain with Boulder Clay
and with predominantly agricultural land use, some artificial influences. |
Crump profile weir, 4m broad. Ultrasonic flow gauge (sidelooker) installed
in 2012 to measure non-modular flows more accurately. | Theoretical rating
confirmed by current metering to structure full, thereafter rating allows for
drowning and spilling, but there is significant scatter in gaugings beyond 0.3m.
One rating applied across period of record. Since 2007 there has been an
increase in the frequency of occurrence of non-modular flows, and since 2013
this station has been non-modular or drowned 90% of the time. This is thought to
be caused by changes in land use downstream affecting downstream water levels.
An ultrasonic flow gauge was installed in 2012. In modular flow conditions flows
are calculated with the conventional rating, in non-modular conditions flows are
calculated from the index-velocity rating based on the measurements of the
ultrasonic flow gauge. | Sept 1968 flooded entire area under water,
maximum POR level recorded as 17.5cumecs, flow extrapolated as the river was out
of bank. GDF and HIF POR updated in 2014. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Chalk largely
overlain with Boulder Clay. Agricultural land use, predominantly arable. |

Discontinued station situated between two lakes used to measure discharge
from pilot groundwater scheme in a Chalk catchment overlain by Boulder Clay,
nearly natural flow at Q95. | Site used pre-existing broad-crested weir
between two small lakes. Station was designed to measure discharge from pilot
groundwater scheme area, although is largely natural. Lake outlet is at TL 834
953, joining Wissey 0.5 miles downstream of station. Punch tape recorder at
upstream face introduced in Jan 1973. The recorder measured the level of the
lake, and runoff of whole catchment drained to the lake, hence catchment area is
calculated to the outlet. Watercourse is also referred to as Buckenham Tofts
Stream. | Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from October-1973. | | Chalk overlain by Boulder Clay with
some gravel and alluvium in the valley. Predominantly impervious. |

Flat V Crump (with a side weir in 1974-1985) gauging a predominantly rural
and predominantly Chalk catchment with significant artificial influences. |
Flat V Crump profile weir (Fordham No1 mill main station), 4m broad. From
Oct 1974, a subsidiary Crump profile weir (Fordham No2 side stream station),
0.7m broad, measured bypass channel discharge. Flows were combined into single
series. Side weir was removed in Dec 1984 and main weir rating adjusted to
compensate (flows increased by 2%). | One rating applied across period of
record, valid to modular limit. Flows prior to 1984 were calculated using tables
and adding together flow at the main and side weir. Side weir was removed in Dec
1984 and main weir rating adjusted to compensate (flows increased by 2%). Part
of the Lodes-Granta groundwater support scheme, operated according to site
conditions. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released

Structure gauging a Chalk catchment with some superficial deposits,
predominantly arable land use, and significant artificial influences. |
Triangular profile Flat V weir, 8.3m broad; constructed on an old brick
weir. Height of wing walls above crest - 0.6m. Also called Babraham Hall. |
The station is drowned and bypassed at high flows. Current rating accounts
for out of bank flow. However, from 12.94cumecs (0.95m) floodplain flow is over
a wide area with great uncertainty in flows, and no gaugings above 0.4m to
verify rating. Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from January 1979. Part of the Lodes-Granta groundwater support scheme,
which triggers at 26 l/s to maintain flow. | The POR maximum flow in Oct
2001 derived from peak flow measurements as 20.41 cumecs, but this is subject to
considerable uncertainty - high proportion of overbank flows. Water year
1996/1997 rejected due to low confidence on whether AMAX occurred during a
missing data period. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Chalk catchment with superficial
deposits in headwater areas. Predominantly arable land use. | Regime
influenced by gw abstraction/recharge. Significant gw abstractions for PWS and
for industrial/agricultural uses. Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Station gauging a Chalk catchment with significant artificial
influences. | Pre-cast fibreglass flume set in concrete; long-crested
flume crest 0.1m broad. | Part of the Rhee groundwater support scheme,
operated according to site conditions. | Flow from 2014/11/20 to
2015/02/25 was likely non-modular. Flow from 2015/03/02 to 2015/06/15 may be
affected by the Rhee Groundwater Support Scheme and flows during that period are
higher than what could be expected based on nearby stations. | Chalk
catchment used mainly for mixed farming but with significant built-up area
(Royston). | Flows affected by effluent from Royston STW u/s of
station. |

Frequently bypassed structure gauging a rural, Chalk catchment with
superficial deposits and with significant artificial influences. | A
compound weir 11.9m wide reconstructed in Jan 1964 from single level
broad-crested weir. The present structure has a Crump section 8.9m wide
separated by a pier from a broad-crested weir at a lower level. | Mill
sluices artificially regulate flow, but have little influence on flood flows.
Frequent bypassing on the left bank. Road bridge built downstream in the late
1990s, after which all gaugings above 1m were taken which fit poorly to rating.
One peak flow rating applied across period of record. | Groundwater river
support scheme extensively used in 1974, 1976 and 1990s to augment low flows.
Not used in 2018, so flows are much lower. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Topographical catchment exceeds contributing area (groundwater catchment),
discrepancies along the south eastern boundary in the headwaters of the
Blackwater and Tiffey. However the total estimated groundwater and surface water
catchment areas are almost identical. No major changes during the period of
record. Chalk catchment with superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay and
alluvium - glacial till and some sand and gravel. Rural catchment, land use is
predominantly arable. | Groundwater is abstracted for agricultural uses.
Significant seasonal variations in abstractions due to the use of water for
spray irrigation in the summer. |

Several times modified structure with poor rating in high flows and pre 1970
flows, gauging a rural, Chalk catchment overlain by till and with some
artificial influences. | Originally a flume set between high rough walls
bypassed at 14 cumecs. Reconstructed in 1970 as a Flat V Crump and a bypass
channel with movable gates added in 1980 on the left bank, as part of Newton
Flotman flood alleviation scheme. | Some high flows only partially gauged
as water diverts around the station through the bypass channel. Bypass thought
to cause more frequent drowning out. Bypass channel has not been successfully
rated, due to inadequate records of gate position. Flood peaks derived assuming
gate is fully open during flood conditions. No rating found applicable for the
pre-1970 flume. Source of present rating unknown. | Magnitude of flood
peak in Sept 1968 is uncertain owing to bypassing, but was undoubtedly an
exceptional event generated by 80-100mm rainfall. Peaks 25-28/04/1981 and
02-04/05/1981 suspect due to instrument fault. Period of 5 May- 25 August 1986
has been deleted due to anomalously low flows - probable stage shift. Data for
Jan-Apr 1989 are missing due to instrument fault. | Groundwater catchment
thought to be 24% smaller than the surface catchment (differences mainly in E).
Predominantly Chalk, almost entirely overlain with drift, mainly Boulder Clay.
Rural catchment, mainly arable. No major changes during the period of
record. | Runoff reduced by groundwater abstractions for public water
supply and agriculture. Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Structure gauging a predominantly arable catchment with mixed geology and
with some artificial influences and significant seasonal variation in flow. |
Two ogee profile weirs beneath bridge arches. Wingwall height not
known. | Arches bypassed (through low spots in the bank about 400m u/s) at
4.3 cumecs, but station maintains modularity. Occasionally drowns owing to weed
and reed growth - some contention with coincident SSSI regime means that weed
clearance is only done annually. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Good fit to available gaugings. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Mixed Clay
and Chalk geology, overlain with superficial deposits of Boulder Clay and
glacial sands and gravels. Agricultural land use, predominantly arable. |
Important seasonal variation in flow. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. Limited ground and surface water abstractions with some
returns from public and agricultural uses. |

Complex structure with crump weirs and gates gauging a rural, predominantly
Chalk catchment overlain by deposits, with moderate artificial influences. |
Complex structure comprising 30m Crump weir in main channel (crescent shape
in plan view, but standard Crump profile slopes); the parallel mill channel has
tilting gate and 1.5m wide Crump weir. Also artificial regulation by sluice
action at Taversham. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | The tilting gate is moved between three positions to maintain
stable water level upstream and to maintain level through the mill race, and was
fully automated in 1998. At 20-25 cumecs, which does not occur frequently,
bypassed further upstream on the left bank. Multiple ratings apply across period
of record depending on gate settings. | Very low flows in July 2006
believed to be due to over-abstraction. | Predominantly Chalk catchment
almost entirely overlain with superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay but with
sands and gravels in valley bottoms. Rural, predominantly arable farming. No
major changes during the period of record. | Moderate surface and gw
abstractions, influential in low flow years. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge and surface water abstraction for Norwich. Mill sluices
artificially regulate water levels, but have little influence on flood
flows. |

Structure gauging a Chalk catchment with gw catchment smaller than
topographical catchment, some artificial influences. | Four trapezoidal
standing-wave flumes under a road bridge. | Dam boards placed across the
two outer arches to increase the sensitivity of low flow measurements. Dam
boards are only used at very low flows, less than 1 cumec. Thought to be drowned
above 10.5 cumecs (April 1981 flood). The rating is valid when all flumes are
open. An alternative rating is used when dam boards are placed across the two
outer arches for very low flows. Early part of the record affected by a mill

Main weir and side weir gauging a rural catchment with clay and Chalk
bedrock, weed growth and u/s sluice action apparent in flow record. |
Compound Crump weir 8.5m wide in main channel with single crested Crump in
mill bypass. | Suffers from weed growth problems. Sluice action at mill
2.4km u/s is infrequent but evident in flow records; sluice rarely open after
1985. Multiple ratings applied to period of record. Rating shapes comparable to
bankfull/QMED before they diverge. Reasonable fit to gaugings. Rating takes
account of both the main weir and the mill bypass. Flows between 16.8m3/s and
24.4m3/s are non-modular and flows over 25.5m3/s are non-modular with some
bypassing of the weir accounted for by modelling. | Record affected by the
Waveney Groundwater Scheme between 1975 and 1979. Rating reviewed in 2022 and
data reprocessed from 1980. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Clay and Chalk largely
overlain with Boulder Clay. Rural, predominantly arable land. | Record
affected by the Waveney Groundwater Scheme between 1975 and 1979 and during some

Gauging a rural, Chalk and clay catchment with Boulder Clay cover,
significant gw abstraction in 1975-1979 due to the Waveney Groundwater
Scheme. | Compound Crump weir with low flow notch and crest tapping. |
Non-modular at 13 cumecs and bypassed at 18 cumecs. Obstructions on the weir
have occasionally led to erroneously high summer flows. Good fit to gaugings
below 0.7m The SG value of 1.74m is believed theoretical and the FQ of 38.6
cumecs is an estimate (including the bypass), not a gauging. One rating applied
across period of record. Station was reviewed in 2014 but rating was not changed
because no method for estimating non-modular flows was found. | No POT
data are presented for this station as they have no non-modular flow correction
applied. AMAX data have been corrected (pre-2007 only, affecting suitability for
trend analysis), but in some cases can be below the daily flow as these are not
corrected. Three suspect events in spring 2015 (2015/03/26, 2015/03/26,
2015/04/26, 2015/04/27, 2015/05/25, 2015/05/26) which also affect HIF for those
months. Occasionally suffers from drops in level due to operation of upstream
mill, identified by a large spike in GDF followed by a large drop. Examples of
mill effects on 15/08/2016 and 15/09/2018. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Chalk and
clay catchment, largely overlain with Boulder Clay. Predominately arable
land. | Records affected by the Waveney Groundwater Scheme between 1975
and 1979 and during some summers e.g. Jun-Sep 2022. Groundwater abstractions and
effluent returns have a minor net effect on flows. Occasional effects from
operation of upstream mill. |

Structure utilising the fall of an old navigation lock, gauging a rural
catchment with sand, gravel, and loam, some flow bypasses the station through a
marsh u/s of station. | Crump type weir utilising the fall of an old
navigation lock. No chart back up: limited space within kiosk. | One
rating applied across period of record. | Logger failure Jan 1998 so no
DMFs. Suspect data in summer 1996. Pre-digital data peak flow data are rejected
as stage cannot be reprocessed following a datum change pre-1992. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8).
No data between 17 May 2019 to 3 July 2019 due to due to weir works to restore
upstream levels. | Predominantly rural catchment of approximately half
sand and gravel and half loam. Immediately u/s is a large marshy area with dense
weed growth from which some flow bypasses the station. | Groundwater
abstractions for public water supply moderately reduce the natural runoff. |

Compound site where bypassing and drowning can affect flows, gauging a Chalk
catchment with Boulder Clay overlay, effects of Waveney Groundwater Scheme
significant in 1975-1979. | Compound site of two structures located u/s of
two bridge arches: a compound Crump with low flow notch and a simple Crump with
lifting gate to retain higher summer levels. Removed from peak flows dataset in
May 2016 (WINFAP Files v4). | Flows above 1.66 cumecs are only available
when the structure gate is open, otherwise they cannot be calculated. Bypassing
occurs at 6.4 cumecs, drowning can result from sluice action at Hoxne Mill
(manual correction applied). The compound weir is insensitive and suffers
occasional drowning due to d/s weed growth. Summer flows (e.g. July 2008) on the
simple crump weir can be affected by partial gate movements. Partial gate
movements due to maintenance are not logged and are unrated, resulting in
erroneous data in the flow record. | Affected by Waveney Groundwater
Scheme between 1975 and 1979. Crest tapping blocked 25/11/2008-05/12/2008,
estimation of hydrograph peak not possible. July 2008 flows on the simple crump
weir affected by partial gate movements. Drop out in flows between 30th October
2016 and 6th November 2016 suspect, likely result of partial gate operation for
maintenance. | Chalk catchment largely overlain with Boulder Clay,
supporting mixed agriculture, predominantly arable land. | Runoff reduced
by industrial/agricultural gw abstraction and by effluent returns. |

Station gauging a Chalk catchment with mainly permeable soil types that
contribute to muted flood response, minimal gw extractions. | Compound
Crump with low flow notch, immediately u/s of Fakenham Mill. Removed from peak
flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | An automated lifting
gate for retaining summer levels acts as a sharp-crested weir. Gate is raised in
winter to pass high flows. Unlikely to be bypassed apart from in exceptional
events, not known to go non modular within operating range, theoretically rated.
There are two ratings at the site, one for gate open and one for gate closed.
When gate is up (open) there appears to be a small underestimation of flow by
the rating, probably due to small amount of bypass at structure. | No data
for 17/01/2020 to 02/03/2020 due to manual gate movements. Unable to calculate
flow when gate is manually operated. | Low-lying Chalk catchment largely
overlain with Boulder Clay and some sands and gravels. Mainly permeable soil
types. Predominantly arable. | Permeable soils contribute to muted flood
response. Groundwater abstractions have a minimal impact on runoff. |

Crump weir gauging a gw influenced, rural catchment with Chalk bedrock
overlain with superficial deposits and with only minor artificial influences,
station is bypassed at high flows. | Compound Crump weir with three
sections - central low flow crest 0.6m, flanked by two crests 1.2m wide
each. | Bypasses at 2.3 cumecs. Can be affected by mill operations c 50m
u/s. One rating applied across period of record. | Low flows in summer
2005 and 2008 affected by u/s mill operation. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Predominantly Boulder Clay with some sand and gravel, underlying Chalk
exposed in the valleys. Rural, predominantly arable. | Gw-influenced
regime, annual hydrographs reflect high baseflow component from the Chalk
aquifer. Industrial/agricultural abstraction reduces natural runoff but impacts
are minimal. Effluent returns increase runoff and may produce a minor net import

Total flow of a compound site gauging a rural catchment, predominantly Chalk
overlain with drift, and with moderate artificial influences. | Two
structures 150m apart operate in parallel. There is a two-arch bridge with two
crump weirs and a three-arch bridge with three crump weirs in the arches. |
Beneath the two-arch bridge are two Crump weirs which sometimes display
non-modular flow as a result of summer weed growth d/s. | | Chalk
overlain by drift (predominantly Boulder Clay with sands and gravels). Rural,
predominantly arable land. | Gw abstractions cause a moderate reduction in
the natural runoff. |

Gauging a rural, Chalk catchment, largely covered with Boulder Clay, with
gw-influenced regime and significant artificial influences. | Flat V weir
with crest tapping, 4m wide. ADCP installed in 2012 and used when the structure
becomes non-modular. | Drowns above 0.8 cumecs. Riffle constructed d/s.
One rating applied across period of record. Prior to 1978 (when dredging took
place) d/s weed growth during summer months could cause complete drowning of
gauging structure at lower flows. | No POT data are presented for this
station as they have no non-modular flow correction applied. AMAX data have been
corrected, but in some cases can be below the daily flow as these are not
corrected. HIF in July 2015 is not aligned with the highest GDF for that
month. | Chalk catchment largely covered with Boulder Clay. Rural,
predominantly arable. | Groundwater-influenced regime. Large gw
abstractions for PWS, in addition to industrial/agricultural abstractions, cause
a significant reduction in the natural runoff. |

Station gauging a rural catchment, flow record significantly affected by
flow control operations. | Compound Crump weir consisting of 5 Crumps: 4
at fixed levels, the narrowest of which incorporates a fish pass. A vertical
lift gate converts the largest to a sharp edge weir, this gate is used, during
summer months, to retain u/s water levels. | | Hydrograph closely
reflects mill gate operation. Data for 1997 - 2000 was reprocessed and loaded in
2003, previous data was suspect owing to error in rating. | Low lying

Only measures flow at low tide. U/s and d/s bends are measured to correct
for drowning. Weir calibrated by model tests, no checks made. | Large gaps
in periods of unreliable data. | Boulder Clay overlying Chalk.
Predominantly rural catchment, the only major town is Ipswich where the station
is located. | Gw-influenced regime. Major artificial influences but net
import is minor. Runoff reduced by industrial/agricultural abstraction. High

Broad-crested weir gauging a rural, groundwater-influenced, clay and Chalk
catchment. | Broad-crested weir of ogee section with low flow notch and
steel plate divide walls. | Rating is non-modular at high flows (above
0.838m stage) and flows go out of bank; rating confirmed by gaugings. Rating
accounts for drowning but significant scatter in gaugings between 0.6m and 1.1m.
Outside of this range rating fits well to gaugings. One rating applied across
period of record. | No POT data are presented for this station as they
have no non-modular flow correction applied. AMAX data have been corrected, but
in some cases can be below the daily flow as these are not corrected. AMAX data
are calculated through the extrapolated range of the modular rating for
non-modular flows and all flows over 15.5 cumecs (0.838m) are overstimated. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7). | The gw contours show only token relationship to the surface
topography. Predominantly clay and Chalk, overlain mainly by Boulder Clay and
some sands and gravels. Rural, predominantly arable land. | Gw-influenced
regime. Significant gw abstractions for industry/agriculture, some water
exported from the catchment. |

Structure able to contain all flows, gauging a flashy rural catchment with
some artificial influences. | Compound Crump weir rebuilt in 1966 from a
compound broad-crested weir, with spillway in tail. | All flows contained
with one rating applied across period of record. Modular throughout range of
flows. Eel pass installed in summer 2017, pumped but with negligible flow. |
Missing data in June and July 2017 due to equipment removed from site for
renovation. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Minimal natural storage within the
catchment, flashy response. Predominantly clay and Chalk largely overlain with
Boulder Clay with valley sand and gravel. Rural, mainly arable land, some urban
development just u/s of station. | Industrial/agricultural abstractions
broadly balance with effluent returns. High flows have been significantly
affected by flood relief scheme since the late 1980s. |

Compound Crump weir gauging a rural, gw-influenced, clay and Chalk catchment
with significant artificial influences. | Compound Crump weir with 2m, 5m
& 12m sections. The largest section is in the middle and uses flood gate
(automated during summer 2001) to convert to a sharp-edge weir. The 5m weir, on
the left, is heavily truncated on the down slope - historically used for narrow
boat transition. The weir on the right side is the lowest, or "fish-pass"
weir. | Bypassing occurs at 12 cumecs and sluice operation on the weir is
evident in the daily flow record. Separate ratings for open and closed gates
apply to period of record. | Missing data 03-04-2017 as gates removed
while eel pass constructed, resulting in erroneous data. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9).
WY2018/2019 marked as rejected because the AMAX is on a data spike due to gate
movement. GDF have been infilled. | Predominantly clay and Chalk, overlain
by superficial deposits - mainly Boulder Clay and some crag deposits. Rural,
predominantly arable land, some urban development in the valley. |
Groundwater-influenced regime. Groundwater abstractions have a significant
impact on the natural runoff. |

Structure know to suffer from bypassing even at moderate flood flows,
gauging a small rural catchment. | Trapezoidal sharp-edged weir in an old
mill stream. | Site known to suffer from bypassing. Watercourse is an old
mill stream on a steep valley side so flows tend not to return to the channel
once overflowing occurs. Weir bypassed by moderate flood flows on many
occasions. | | Small rural catchment formed on Crag geology, outer
suburbs of Ipswich at the upstream end. | Runoff reduced by

Complex, theoretically rated station gauging a predominantly rural,
predominantly Chalk catchment with a long period of record. | Three
separate weirs and five sluice gates operated by Essex and Suffolk Water plc at
Stratford St Mary WTW. | Extreme floods bypass on rb. Theoretically rated.
Since Apr 1978 upper limit of reliable gauging 16 cumecs. | Daily
naturalised flows from 1932 to 1976. | Chalk overlain by Boulder Clay in
upper catchment and London Clay in lower part. Predominantly agricultural land
use, mainly arable, but some towns present in the catchment. |
Gw-influenced regime. WTW (including PWS abstractions) and, to lesser extent
Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme (since 1971), highly influence flow. Runoff increased

Trapezoidal flume gauging a gw-influenced, rural catchment, bypassing at
high flows and with problematic rating. | Trapezoidal flume. |
Bypassing at high flows, occasional problems with weed growth. Modest
modular limit, but downstream level recorder can allow for drowning. Flow
appears to go non-modular around 0.75m, but drowning may be variable, caused at
least in part by the Stour downstream. Gaugings above 1m are float runs and do
not account for bypassing. Highest floods unreliably gauged. From Oct 1969, the
rating applied allows for average drowning conditions. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record, derived from a combination of theory and
hydraulic modelling. Affected by Cranmore Green borehole pumping, e.g. elevated
flows 05-07-18 to 30-07-18. | No POT data are presented for this station
as they have no non-modular flow correction applied. AMAX data have been
corrected, but in some cases can be below the daily flow as these are not
corrected. Naturalised flows from 1960 to Sep 1976. Exceptional minimum in Oct
1997 follows cessation of augmentation (via Cranmore Green outfall) in Sept
1997. Flow during summer 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 affected by Cranmore Green
augementation borehole, hence abrupt high values. GDF POR reprocessed in 2014.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Rural catchment of the Upper Stour. Upper Chalk
(exposed in river valley sides) is overlain by glacial sand and gravel and
semi-pervious Boulder Clay. Rural, predominantly arable land. |

An 'Essex' profile with side weir which can be affected by drowning in
summer, gauging a rural, Chalk catchment completely covered with Boulder
Clay. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with low flow side
weir. | Low flow side weir drowns in summer due to weed growth. Poorly
maintained channel also influences modular limit. High flow spillway accurate to
1.1m. Theoretically rated. Full range with convincing water-balance but low flow
data should be treated as indicative only. One rating applied across period of
record. | Naturalised flows from 1965 to 1976. Missing data in 2010 and
2011 is as a result of water level management practices which caused the
structure to become non-modular. Magnitude of POR maximum flow in Sept 1968 is
supported by EA, but may be an underestimate as flow known to have been
extrapolated. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Chalk with complete cover of Boulder
Clay. Rural catchment, predominantly arable farming. | Gw-influenced

Station provides high quality record from a rural catchment with minor urban
areas, although some bypassing and artificial influences are significant. |
Twin-trapezoidal flume with throat tapping. Spillway channel with
broad-crested weir constructed in 12/1985 takes some flow above 1.45m. Excellent
site. | Bypassing occurs over opposite bank above 1.85m. More bypassing
possible from 0.5km u/s during extreme events. One rating applied across period
of record. Throat tapping installed during flume construction. Around 2003 the
data from this point moved from chart to logger. No adjustments are made to
flows, or thought necessary, for non-modularity. Above a stage of 1.435m,
spillway flow should be added to rated flow. | No POT data are presented
for this station as they have no spillway correction applied. AMAX data have
been corrected, but in some cases can be below the daily flow as these are not
corrected. June and July 2008 affected by PWS abstractions. Naturalised flows to
September 1976. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Chalk outcrops in N, London Clay in S,
overlain by superficial deposits, mainly semi-pervious Boulder Clay. Mainly
rural catchment, predominantly arable land, with minor urban development in
valley bottom. | Gw-influenced. Runoff reduced by surface water and ground
water abstraction for PWS, industry and agriculture. Decreased flow since ~2014
due to increased intake for PWS. Occasional augmentation from Stour Augmentation
Groundwater Scheme (SAGS) borehole pumping, and intermittent pumping from
Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme. Occasional peaks due to mill operation. Pumping
periodically carried out on the Stour, resulting in noisy stage value and
observed as a step up in stage from September 2019 to October 2019. |

Record of low accuracy from a rural, Upper Chalk catchment with major
artificial influences. The site theoretically has a modular limit of around
1.7m. | Compound trapezoidal critical depth flume with d/s level
recorder. | Affected by weed growth but rarely drowns out. Above 1.15m
some flow passes over a broad-crested weir 100m u/s into a spillway. The
gaugings for this station are float runs and are less accurate than standard
methods and result in some scatter around the rating. One rating applied across
period of record. Affected by non-modular flow. | No POT data are
presented for this station as they have no non-modular flow correction applied.
AMAX data have been corrected, but in some cases can be below the daily flow as
these are not corrected. Archived daily flows adjusted for the effects of
Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme until 1976. Peak flow in December 2014 not available
(non-modular). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Upper Chalk overlain by superficial
deposits, mainly semi-pervious Boulder Clay and some sand and gravel. Rural,
predominantly arable land. | Gw-influenced regime. Since 22/3/1971, flow
augmented by intermittent pumping from the Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme. Runoff also
influenced by industrial/agricultural abstraction from surface and groundwater,
and effluent returns. |

'Essex' profile weir gauging a small, groundwater-influenced catchment with
significant artificial influences. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V
Crump) weir with crest tapping, insensitive. | Modular limit approx. 5.0
cumecs. Rating accounts for non-modular flow. One rating applied across period
of record. | No POT data are presented for this station as they have no
non-modular flow correction applied. AMAX data have been corrected, but in some
cases can be below the daily flow as these are not corrected. Flood in Sept 1968
inundated the station and has been separately estimated. Adjustments were made
for industrial and sewage effluent and gw abstractions from 1968 to 1976. AMAX
events in Nov 2000, Feb 2009 and Nov 2014 rejected as suspect crest tapping data
affected non-modular adjustment. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Chalk with
superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Upper catchment is mainly rural
(arable farming), considerable urban development (Haverhill) in lower
catchment. | Gw-influenced regime. Runoff reduced by
industrial/agricultural abstraction. Station is immediately d/s of Haverhill -
urban runoff and STW discharges cause short, sharp peaks. |

Insensitive 'Essex' profile gauging a small, rural, Chalk catchment. |
'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with crest tapping. No
spillway. | Insensitive. High downstream levels make estimate of flow peak
uncertain. Ponding u/s above 11.5 cumecs. Rating above bank full tends to
overestimate flows. Crest tapping prone to siltation which made modular limit
uncertain until 1970, when channel improved for Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme, making
station full range. Structure built on peat, some percolation beneath.
Adjustments have been to flows to account for non-modularity. One rating applied
across period of record. | Station was completely overwhelmed in Sept 1968
floods, which is the highest event on record. Post 1976 adjustments made for
Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Boulder Clay overlying
Chalk, some outcropping. Rural, predominantly arable land. | Gw-influenced
regime. Effect of Transfer Scheme results in unrealistic water balance.
Abstraction from surface water and gw for industrial/agricultural purposes.
Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Station gauging the whole catchment of R Brett, heavily affected by
drowning. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with crest
tapping. Located approx. 450m u/s from confluence with R. Stour. | Flows
not calculated when drowning. Very low modular limit due to backing up from
Essex and Suffolk Water plc waterworks on Stour at Stratford St Mary. |
Record is incomplete due to drowning, gaps present especially before
2003. | Upper Chalk covered with semi-pervious Boulder Clay N of Hadleigh,
lower reaches mainly London Clay overlain by superficial deposits. Predominantly
rural catchment (except for Hadleigh). | |

Station using float runs for gauging a predominantly rural catchment with
mixed geology and with major artificial influences. | Flat V weir with low
flow sharp-crested rectangular notch. | No spillway. Flood banks contain
approx. 35 cumecs. Reasonable fit to gaugings up to bank full. Breaching u/s may
cause bypassing. Gaugings for this station are float runs, and less accurate
than standard methods. One rating applied across period of record. | No
POT data are presented for this station as they have no non-modular flow
correction applied. AMAX data have been corrected, but in some cases can be
below the daily flow as these are not corrected. Naturalised flows 1972-1976,
since then adjustments needed for abstractions, discharges and PWS predominantly
for Haverhill. First year of record rejected due to partial data. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Mainly Upper Chalk with some London Clay in S, overlain by
superficial deposits (predominantly Boulder Clay). Mainly rural, predominantly
arable land, some built-up areas. | Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme adjustments
already made. Runoff reduced by public water supply (predominantly for
Haverhill), industrial and agricultural abstraction from surface water and gw.
Runoff increased by effluent returns. Flow affected by Ely/Ouse Transfer
Scheme. |

A non-standard Essex profile Flat V weir based in the Roding catchment with
rural headwaters but influenced by urban development in the lower reaches. The
flow regime has artificial influences. | Originally a broad crested weir
but was replaced due to insensitivity at low flows. Replaced by the current
Essex profile weir (modified Flat V weir) in 1962. Used for both flood
warning/forecasting and water resource purposes. | One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Rating may not estimate flow accurately above
1m. Calibration above 35 cumecs is based upon model tests. | Significant
floods in Nov 1974 and Oct 2000. Questions whether gauge drowned during these
events. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Low lying, mainly impervious (London Clay and
superficial deposits) catchment. Land use is rural with significant urban
development close to the G/s. | Pattern of low flows influenced by
abstractions and effluent returns. Flows augmented by moderate net import of
water from Thames Water Utilities but this was eliminated to produce naturalised
flows between 1951-1975. The diversion of Luxborough Lane STW effluent,
completed in 1987, reduced DMFs in Redbridge. |

Station with complex hydrometric history with rural catchment on London Clay
with significant urban development. | Sharp-crested, shallow V profile
weir (insensitive), replaced broad-crested timber weir in 1972. | Complex
hydrometric history. Weir provides head for lock (navigable river), discharge
through lock not measured. Lock thought to influence flow pattern at low flows
during busy periods, e.g. in summer of 2006. Weir repaired in 1982 because of
serious leakage. No accurate measure of low or high flow, upper limit is 0.7m
(19.99 cumecs). Bypassing begins at 0.57m. | GDF in 2006 may be affected
by lock. Weir was being repaired in 1982 to fix serious leakage. | Mainly
London Clay with extensive superficial deposits (predominantly Boulder Clay).
Overall rural (arable farming), but significant urban development (especially
Chelmsford u/s of station) and with dense road network. | |

Long period of record from a rural catchment, includes daily flow record of
a former, less accurate station Hatfield Peverel. | Trapezoidal flume with
throat tapping and low flow control, replaced less accurate station - Hatfield
Peverel, 900m d/s, in 1964. Hatfield Peverel record held with this station
(1932-1964). | Theoretically rated. Modular limit ~0.2m, depending on
downstream weed, no level yet recorded above 1.6m (structurefull). Scatter in
gaugings beyond QMED caused by drowning. One peak flow rating applied across
period of record. | No POT data are presented for this station as they
have no non-modular flow correction applied. AMAX data have been corrected.
Records in 1932-1964 are from a former, less accurate Hatfield Peverel station.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020

'Essex' profile gauging a rural catchment on London Clay, flows
significantly increased by STW effluent especially in summer. | 'Essex'
profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir. | Rated spillway starts at 1.25m.
Full range, modular station. Weir began to subside in 1991. Flow during summer
months consists predominantly of STW discharge, of which approximately 0.08
cumecs is derived from outside the catchment, adjustments needed for this. One
rating applied across period of record. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Low-lying catchment on London Clay with scattered areas of Boulder Clay
cover. Mainly rural, mixed arable and grassland, with significant urban
component. | Responsive catchment. Runoff increased by STW effluent
returns with net import, which significantly affects flows especially in summer.
Runoff reduced by industrial/agricultural abstraction. |

Station gauging a groundwater-influenced rural catchment with major
artificial influences. | Double throated trapezoidal flume with throat
tappings and a high flow rated spillway. | Spilling onto spillway stats at
1.80m, drowning starts at 1.2m (13.0 cumecs). Degree of drowning variable.
Rating accounts for non-modular flow. One peak flow rating applied across period
of record. | No POT data are presented for this station as they have no
non-modular flow correction applied. AMAX data have been corrected, but in some
cases can be below the daily flow as these are not corrected. Irregular record
from 01/10/1962. POT independence criteria applied to early (chart) record
appears to require separation of 7 days. Exceptionally high flow recorded in Oct
2001, magnitude suspect as likely to have been affected by drowning. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | London Clay with Chalk in the headwaters, overlain with Boulder
Clay and some sands and gravels. Rural, predominantly arable land. |
Gw-influenced regime. Intermittently affected, since 1971, by Ely/Ouse
Transfer Scheme pumping, significantly affected in the late 1980s and in the
1990s. Abstractions from both Chalk and gravel aquifers for PWS. |

Good record of a responsive, rural catchment with mixed geology and with
minor artificial influences. | Trapezoidal flume (with central division
wall which commences above the lowest contraction) with throat recorder and
spillway for flows over 1.42m. Secondary instrument to record non-modular flows
installed in 2003. | Measures up to the 1 in 10 year flood (approx. 1.69m)
above which bypassing occurs. Drowning is minimal but more gaugings required at
higher flows to confirm rating. Two rating applied across period of record
confirmed by gaugings to 1.58m. | The sudden drop in flow on 20/07/2015
may be due to works on Elmbridge Mill gates located downstream of Churchend at
Little Easton. The periods of high flows from 2015/05/12 to 2015/05/16 and from
2015/06/05 to 2015/06/10 were probably cased by vandalism (dams on the weir)
which often occurs in summer months. Missing data in September 2017 due to
lightning strike which damaged telemetry and data logger. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Upland (for East Anglia) catchment at head of R. Chelmer. Upper quarter of
catchment is Chalk, remainder is London Clay, both largely overlain with Boulder
Clay. Rural, predominantly arable farming. | Responsive catchment. Some
industrial/agricultural abstraction but minimal adjustments needed. |

Located in upper part of the Colne, with very low to no flows in
summer. | Trapezoidal flume with throat tapping. High flow spillway. |
Flume is rarely non-modular. High flows spill onto a spillway (above 1.34m)
and flows above wingwall height (1.6m) are estimated because of major bypassing.
One peak flow rating applied across period of record. | No POT data are
presented for this station as they have no non-modular flow correction applied.
AMAX data have been corrected, but in some cases can be below the daily flow as
these are not corrected. Missing data in 2020 due to levels below the lower
limit of the rating. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Upland (for East Anglia)
catchment. Upper Chalk with London Clay present in southern half, all overlain
with Boulder Clay and minor patches of sands and gravels. Rural, predominantly
arable land. | Great Yeldham PWS borehole may influence flows, but
unquantifiable. Period of Ely/Ouse Transfer Scheme pumping in 1982. Some
industrial/agricultural abstraction. |

Insensitive 'Essex' profile weir gauging a rural catchment with reservoirs
affecting the regime. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with
crest tapping. | Insensitive. One peak flow rating applied across period
of record. Modular limit around 0.6m. All but highest flows contained. The flow
is derived through the rating curve and then under non-modular conditions, a
macro is applied within WISKI which applies a reduction factor. Therefore, under
high flows, the stage and flow won't match through the modular rating. Subject
to weed growth and siltation, particularly downstream. | No POT data are
presented for this station as they have no non-modular flow correction applied.
AMAX data have been corrected. Some float-run gaugings are thought to be
unreliable. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | CA includes 13.7 sq.km draining to Hanningfield
Reservoir 10km u/s. London Clay with sand and gravel over high ground in NE,
Boulder Clay in S. Rural, mainly arable land with some grassland. |
Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff. Naturalised flows (1963-1976)
account for reservoir compensation water (0.011 cumecs) and storm overflows.
Minor additions from industrial effluent. |

Highest flow gauging station on the River Roding. Essex modified Flat V weir
that was superceded by Ultrasonic time of flight due to repeated drowning. |
Ultrasonic time of flight in an 11m section. Ultrasonic replaced Essex weir
rating in November 2012. Essex weir used to maintain head for measuring cross
section. Used for both water resource and flood warning/forecasting
purposes. | Originally Essex weir superseded by Ultrasonic time of flight
with the weir used to retain depth. Bypassing can also occur on both banks and
can occur surprisingly quickly. Structure subject to drowning during high flows
due to backwater effects from two d/s bridges. Heavy in-channel vegetation and
surcharging of bridge soffit also influence drowning. Evidence that the modular
limit has reduced over time due to the reduction in channel clearance and
maintenance. Evidence of weir settlement discovered in 1991. Flows were
corrected from 1987-91 to take account of this. | Levels can exceed
bankfull and gauge is bypassed. Naturalised flows available between 1964 and
1976. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021
(WINFAP Files v10). | Generally low lying, largely impermeable (London
Clay/glacial deposits), agricultural catchment with some industrial land
use. | Responsive flow regime. Minimal net import into the catchment but
flows are influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Abstraction for
industrial/agricultural purposes, particularly spray irrigation, can
substantially deplete low flows. |

Flat V weir located on Crispey Brook, a North London sub-catchment of the
River Roding. | Flat V weir (5.6m broad) installed in 1981. It superseded
a compound thin-plate weir of limited capacity. | Modular calibration -
therefore over-estimation of flows during periods of drowned flow (e.g. autumn
2000 - exceptionally high flow on the 29th Oct.). | Most early flows
truncated at around 2.5 cumecs. Flows missing (probably including POR minima)
for much of 1976. | Predominantly impermeable catchment (London Clay but
with extensive areas of glacial deposits). A rural catchment where agriculture
is the primary land use. | Responsive flow regime. Sewage effluent is an
important component of low flows. Impact of abstraction also evident on the
hydrograph. |

'Essex' profile gauging a predominantly Chalk catchment affected by
artificial influences including urban runoff and Ely Ouse/Essex scheme. |
'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with crest tapping. No
spillway. | Modest modular limit (around 0.62m) affected by weed growth.
No spillway. VA rating for high flows. One peak flow rating applied across
period of record. Some of the gaugings were based on float-runs and may not be
reliable. Post-1979, flow is derived through the rating curve and then under
non-modular conditions, a macro is applied within WISKI which applies a
reduction factor. Therefore, under high flows, the stage and flow will not match
through the modular rating. In the earlier record, however, adjustment for
non-modularity appears to have been made by correcting the artifical elevation
of stage, and these events therefore agree through the rating. | No POT
data are presented for this station as they have no non-modular flow correction
applied. AMAX data have been corrected, but in some cases can be below the daily
flow as these are not corrected. Flows can be artificially increased by Ely Ouse
transfer scheme (e.g. June 2015). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Upper two-thirds of
catchment are Chalk, remainder London Clay (exposed in valleys), all overlain
with Boulder Clay and some glacial gravel. Mainly rural (arable predominates)
but with Braintree urban area in lower valley, just u/s of station. |
Urban runoff from Braintree. Minor adjustments needed for ground and surface
water abstractions, sewage and industrial effluent and Ely Ouse/Essex
discharges. Net effect - minor export of water. |

'Essex' profile that replaced a temporary weir in 1969, structure suffers
from severe drowning. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with
crest tapping from 11/03/1970, replaced originally a temporary broad-crested
weir 03/1965-09/1969 with low flow V notch (data suspect). | Low modular
limit (0.4m), problems with drowning. Weir is known to drown but rating fits
well to gaugings up to 1.2m. Affected by weed growth and siltation Limited
overspill starts at 0.35m (3.0 cumecs). One rating applied across period of
record. | Data since 31/08/1991 not stored on NRFA due to continuing
problems with drowning. Structure drowned from winter 1990/1991 to May 1992 and
problems continue. | London Clay covered with glacial gravel and Boulder
Clay in the upper third. Rural catchment in conservation area. |
Gw-influenced regime. Runoff increased by effluent returns. Runoff reduced
by industrial/agricultural abstraction. |

Station heavily influenced by tide and with significant abstractions at low
flows. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir (very insensitive)
with crest tapping. | Tidal influence very important, gauging limits
variable due to d/s tidal conditions, with drowning starting at very low levels.
Very gentle river gradient makes siltation a major problem, accompanied by weed
growth. | | London Clay with some Boulder Clay cover in NW. Rural,
predominantly arable with some grassland. | Abstractions are significant
at low flows. |

Ultrasonic gauging station located in the mid reaches of the River Roding
catchment. | An ultrasonic gauge has been operating at the site since the
05/02/2012. The gauge consists of 12 paths, in a cross configuration, installed
in a trapezoidal concrete section just u/s of the crump weir. The system
replaced the historic crump weir (single crest) that was installed in 1989; the
modular limit was approx. 0.6m. (no tail or d/s levels recorded). C/m
calibration, updated following gaugings taken during 2000 and 2002 floods. Prior
to 1983: 'Essex' weir, subject to drowning. | The installation was
commissioned for two reasons: to combat the regular occurrence of non-modular
flow conditions that readily formed during high flows and secondly due to the
extensive weed growth in this reach of the river that hampered measurement
during low flows. | No flow data from 1982-88. High flow rating under
review; treat flows with caution. | Predominantly impermeable catchment
(London clay and glacial deposits). The main land use is agriculture but the
catchment contains significant urban areas. | |

Station gauging a predominantly rural catchment with mixed geology and
significant artificial influences, prone to siltation. | 'Essex' profile
(modified Flat V Crump) weir with crest tapping. | Prone to siltation.
Flows are estimated when siltation severely affects response of station. Low

Gauging full range of a very responsive, totally urbanized catchment on an
industrial estate on the outskirts of Southend. | Non-standard weir,
insensitive at low flows, however, a good stepped fall, so no drowning. In 1996,
replaced original weir decommissioned in April 1995 (hence missing data). New
weir is a replica of previous structure, non-standard flat V weir. Telemetry was
installed at the beginning of 1997. | Full range station, all events
within bank. Rapid response means peak levels can be missed by the 15 min
telemetry readings. One rating applied across period of record. Weir not
expected to drown with rating form confirmed by hydraulic modelling. |
High flows on 12 and 13/09/2003 (not seen at surrounding sites) are the
result of a burst water main within the catchment. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Small, low-lying. Underlying geology is London Clay, some superficial
deposits. Totally urbanised catchment on an industrial estate on the outskirts
of Southend. | Very flashy, composed almost entirely of urban runoff.
Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Station gauging a tributary of The Thames with catchment partly below the
sea level, affected by weed growth and low modular limit. Station closed as of
01/10/2021. The site has suffered from bad non-modularity for some time now and
the decision was made to stop recording flow. Various reasons for the
non-modular flows include reduced maintenance downstream and the tidal influence
downstream. This is now a level recording only site for flood warning purposes
only. | 'Essex' profile (modified Flat V Crump) weir with d/s
tapping. | Low modular limit, degree of drowning variable: backs up from
tidal gates 3km d/s. Reverse flow possible. Mar Dyke flood alleviation measures
have widened channel and increased height of the banks; only overtopped in
extreme events. Suffers from summer weed growth. | Some large gaps in the
record around 1990 to 2004. | G: Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction and/or recharge. E: Runoff increased by effluent returns. I: Runoff
reduced by industrial and/or agricultural abstraction. | |

Located in the middle reaches of the River Lee, this station is marked by a
complex history of changes to channel controls and bypassing. |
Historically the station was a 29m wide thin-plate weir (found to be
insensitive) and 3 vertical-lift sluices controlling a parallel flood relief
channel. The weir is immediately downstream of the confluence of the rivers Lee
and Stort. Building started in 1976 and it completed in 1978 to improve
hydrometric range and precision. Pre-1976 there was a barrage of gates/sluices
(operation evident on hydrographs, pre-1930 especially) to control flows. From
1/1/97, flows normally the sum of stations 38027 (Stort at Glen Faba) and 38031
(Lee at Rye Bridge). In 2004 flow calculation changed to using a combination of
weir and gate levels rather than summation. An ultrasonic station was built d/s
and opened on the 01/01/2008. | All flows (bar lockages) now contained but
Ryemeads STW effluent bypasses the station. Flood flows on the Lee can cause
reverse flows on Stort. Flows up to about 4.7 cumecs discharge over the weir;
higher flows enter a flood channel. One rating applied across period of record.
Weir rated using a physical model, with flood channel flows computed
separately. | Occasional erratic performance of the two u/s stations
(summed for total flow) can impact on the precision of Feildes Weir flows. Early
peak flow data from the 1850s are estimates. Naturalised flows (New River
abstraction only) from 1883. Gauging instigated by Beardmore during the 1850s
(flood of October 1857 estimated as >250 cumecs, greatly exceeding any
subsequent event). Annual calendar year maximum GDFs thereafter. This flow was
particularly uncertain. Until 1931, GDFs were calculated as the mean of three
daily readings recorded by lock keeper. Chart record from March 1932. Low flows
probably under-estimated during this period (especially pre-1930). Measured peak
flows post 1965. Station was out of commission in 1976, Naturalised flows have
been modelled between March 1976 to April 1978 by EA. The quality of the record
improved after these dates. Mill operation could produce particularly low flows
in the early record (e.g. on Sundays). | A mainly pervious (Chalk)
catchment with extensive Drift cover. Predominantly rural headwaters with
significant urban growth in lower valley. | Runoff reduced by abstraction
for industry, agriculture and pws. Significant gw abstraction, with net export
from catchment. Runoff increased by effluent returns. Effluent from Rymeads STW
bypasses measuring structure, as does lockage from the Lee Navigation. |

Flat V weir that is located in the lower Ash catchment. | Flat V weir
(1:10 cross-slope) 3.9m wide, constructed in 1979. The current station replaced
the original hump flume weir that was built in 1939. The old station was not
good due to the obstruction caused by the old gate at the mill bypass channel.
It was insensitive, subject to bypassing and was inaccurate at low flows. Hence
discharges was assessed at the d/s station at Easneye (38005). | No rating
available for original hump flume weir. Remains modular and is virtually full
range. Rating is valid from 1981 - theoretical standard Flat V calculation,
extended in January 2012, using modelled flow to account for stages 0.9mASD to
3mASD. Peak flow rating is reasonably accurate. Some bypassing is known to occur
at extreme flows. One peak flow rating across period of record. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | Solid geology of Upper Chalk extensively overlain by boulder
clay, glacial sands & gravel and alluvium in the valleys. Rural catchment in
character. | Baseflow dominated regime but significant runoff generated
from the clays in the headwaters. U/s lake storage, sluice activity and gw
abstractions for industry/agriculture have a minor effect on flows. |

Station located in the lower catchment of the River Mimram. |
Critical-depth flume; 5m wide. All flows are contained. | One rating
applied across period of record. Rating is reasonably accurate, though
overestimates flow. Theoretical calibration confirmed by gaugings but computed
flows may be slightly overestimated by as much as 10%. The gauge was reviewed in
2014. | Frequent discharges caused by fish farm are eliminated to produce
naturalised flows. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A predominantly permeable catchment
(Upper Chalk overlain by glacial deposits near headwaters). Mainly rural but
substantial urban growth in the lower valley - the Mimram drains Welwyn Garden
City. | Appreciable net export of water. Considerable gw abstraction for
industry & agriculture occurs in the headwaters. Very high baseflow
component but peak flows increasing due to urbanisation. AMAX is commonly
recorded during the summer half-year. |

Compound structured gauging station located in the lower Rib catchment. |
Non conforming Trapezoidal flume operated as a rated section with a Crump
weir on the overflow channel. | One rating applied across the POR.
Reasonable fit to gaugings although evidence suggests rating underestimates flow
slightly. Modular calibration has applied during rare periods of drowned
flow. | All except highest floods contained. GDF data available (1957-83)
for d/s limited range station (Rib at Herts Training School - 38006). Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP

clay; glacial sands and gravel in the valleys. Predominantly a rural catchment.
Significant runoff generated from the towns of Buntingford and Thundridge as
well as clays high up the catchment. | A flashy regime. Flows influenced
by significant groundwater abstractions for industrial and agricultural purposes
(net export). |

Station located in the lower region of Canons Brook before it joins the
Stort. It is an important (>50 yr) urban time series. | Full range
critical-depth flume in rectangular section. Between the years 1965 to 1980, low
flows were monitored at a (less sensitive) Crump weir that was in series with
the flume. | 3 limb power law rating based on the theory of flumes applied
since flume became only form of measurement in 1979. Single rating across the
period of record. Rating extends to 11 cumecs but majority of gaugings taken at
low flows. Performance at low flows is poor, with flows being overestimated.
However at medium to high flows gaugings suggest flow is underestimated. Further
gaugings are required in the medium to high flow range. | Low flow record
since 1979 thought to be inaccurate due to insensitive control. Uncertainty in
the medium to high flow record due to lack of calibration gaugings. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | The catchment geology is impervious dominated by London Clay. Rural
headwaters but heavily urbanised d/s. | Balancing resevoirs in Harlow (and
the New Town development itself) influence the flow pattern but there are no
significant abstractions or discharges. Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Crump profile weir located on the mid reaches of the River Mimram. |
Crump profile weir, 2.75m wide, built in the mid 1970s. Originally the
station was comprised of two complementary thin-plate weirs. Prior to 1993,
gauging was a sum of flows through the mill weir and a leaky wooden weir. The
station was not used as a full gauging station from 07/1984. It was used solely
for low flows for licence purposes from 09/1984 to 05/1990. The data was
processed but not archived during this period. However, due to demand, the site
came back online in 1990 and the data was stored. | Standard crump weir
rating that extends to 2.5 cumecs. The station was not designed for peak flow
measurement and is insensitive at low flows. | Accurate at modular flow,
but large discrepancies at non-modular flow (> 0.18m). Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Chalk catchment (with overlying glacial deposits in some areas).
Predominantly rural. | Flows substantially diminished by gw abstractions
(Three Valleys Water plc) with a considerable net export of water. The weir
drowns easily possibly due to seasonal weed growth (cut prior to 1993). It has
not been possible to remove weeds due to a Brown Trout (Salmo trutta)
conservation project that was initiated in 1993. |

Flat V weir located on the Stevenage Brook, a tributary of the River Beane
and sub-catchment of the River Lee in North London. | Flat V weir - 2.75m
wide. It was constructed in 1974 to supersede the original broad-crested weir
operated by Stevenage Development Corporation. | | Flow records
prior to 1974 are sporadic and of poor quality. The weir remains modular up to
4.1 cumecs. Higher magnitude floods uncorrected, including the notable November
2003 peak flow. | A chalk catchment now largely urbanised. | Gw
abstractions significantly reduce runoff and the release of water from flood
storage lagoons can influence the flashy flow regime. |

Gauging station that is located in the Upper Lee catchment. | The
station has been replaced by a d/s site; the Upper Lee at Luton East Hyde
(38033). The station was closed on the 12/05/2013. Rectangular thin-plate weir
(0.92m wide) plus and insensitive broad-crested overfall weir (10m wide) for
flows > 0.33 cumecs. The side weir has a removable board(s) that have at
times been removed with knowledge of measuring authority. The small side weir
was re-built in January 1989. The large weir then operated at a stage of 0.223m
not at the original 0.304m level. | One rating applied across period of
record. Derived theoretically and matched to a very few check gaugings. |
Only very high floods, such as September 1968, exceed the capacity of the
overfall weir. The time series is to be used with caution, pre-1966 data
particularly. A stoplog may be used to regulate lake levels and this can result
in spurious zero flows. | A Chalk catchment (with Drift) now substantially
urbanised. | There is storage capacity in Luton Hoo lakes and the station
is d/s of the outfall from an ornamental lake. Flows are substantially reduced
as a result of gw abstractions (significant export). Considerable interludes of
zero flow, occasionally interrupted by small sluice releases (above the
thin-plate weir). Some surface water drainage from Luton bypasses the gauge via
the East Hyde STW. |

5m wide (insensitive at low flows) in a slightly trapezoidal section. It
superseded a less effective (particularly at very low flows) compound
broad-crested structure in 1980. | Backing-up behind the d/s culvert can
(rarely) result in drowning during flood conditions. | | Impervious
(London Clay) catchment. Salmon Brook rises on Enfield Chase and in the lower

A largely rural based gauging station within the north eastern part of the
Thames Basin. | Two complementary thin-plate weirs (rectangular and 90
degree V notch) measuring spring flow discharging to the River Stort. The V
notch weir was rebuilt in 1989 and new rating table used. | | Very
stable discharge but station can be overwhelmed in exceptional floods.
21/10/2001 peak triggered by >90mm storm. | The contributing area to
the chalk springs is mainly rural. The hydrological catchment cannot be readily
determined hence runoff is not representative. | Significant local gw
abstraction producing substantial net export of water. |

The station is located in the upper Mimram catchment. | Crump weir,
1.0m crest (rather insensitive) within wider section. | All flows are
contained and are modular. | Dry for over three months in late 1997. |
A predominantly pervious (Chalk), rural catchment. Hydrological catchment
divide is uncertain. | Generally stable flow regime, sustained from Chalk
springs. Low flows are occasionally augmented by pumping from local tube wells
but overall runoff is significantly reduced by gw abstraction. U/s cress-beds
can influence low flow pattern. |

Station located in the Upper Lee catchment above the confluences of
tributary rivers. | Crump weir approximately 6m wide. Present station
built in October 1971 to replace two temporary stations at Waterhall Farm and
Roxford Farm. River course altered for gravel works and current station was
built within this new artificial section. | Modular throughout the flow
range. Standard Crump weir calculation. Theoretical rating has a reasonable
level of accuracy. Approach channel can become heavily choked with vegetation
and has to be regularly managed. | All flows contained. Some early data
(of limited quality) from two nearby gauging stations. There was a station on
the River Lee at Roxford (38801) which, started in November 1952. In order to
produce a single record, some correlations were undertaken between these
stations. They had an overlapping record from September 1971 to August 1972.
These were compared and a formula was used to derive Water Hall values. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Catchment is mainly pervious (Chalk) but with glacial Drift
in the headwaters. The land uses are principally agricultural with some
important (expanding) urban centres. | Luton STW effluent augments flows
and strongly effects the low flow regime. Moderate net import of water. |

This station, opened in June 1971, is on a small tributary of the River Lee
within a suburban area. The station has a relatively large capacity gauging
structure and has a flow record in excess of forty years. | Trapezoidal
critical-depth flume with an overall width of 10m. | Drowning and damage
to the exit transition (repaired in 1992) influences the performance of the
station. Two ratings have been applied across the POR. The most recent is valid
from October 1982. This post M25 construction rating was derived by hydraulic
modelling (Halcrow). It includes backwater effects from the M25 culvert (350m
d/s of the station) and a double pipe crossing (500m d/s). Two existing ratings
are very similar up to 1m. | The gap in the record from June 1982 to May
1983 inclusive was due to the building of the M25 motorway; flows could not be
estimated as the river was diverted through two pipes which were too small for
the purpose. In January 1992 repairs were carried out to the exit transit which
was damaged and affecting performance. There is also a gap of 2 months - August
& September 1994 - for repairs to the weir. Recorded flows may be
overestimates and the structure is insensitive at low flows. | Cobbins
Brook drains an impervious (London Clay) catchment which includes part of Epping
Forest. Substantial urban development occurs in the vicinity of the gauging
station but this constitutes a small percentage of the overall catchment
landuse. | The net impact of PWS abstractions and discharges on the
natural responsive flow pattern is minimal. M25 motorway runoff can, however, be
significant. In 2010 a large flood storage area was built near Cobbins Brook to
protect Waltham Abbey and so will reduce flood peaks at Sewardstone Road. |

Station located on a small tributary of the River Lee that has flow record
of over fifty years. It is located within an suburban area with relatively low
rainfall. | Flat V weir, 6m wide, situated within but at the end of a
concrete-lined channel, the river then flows into a restored naturalised reach
through an urban park. | Structure operates in accordance with theory of
Flat V weirs. Tailwater recorder proves a high modular limit, however since the
river restoration works in March 2021 this has reduced. Very few gaugings to
prove theoretical rating. | The structure remains unaltered from its
original design other than occasional repairs for damage sustained to the weir
crest resulting from vandalism. Level data and rating available for 1972 to 1979
data. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | A largely impervious catchment (Tertiary clays and
glacial deposits). The headwaters drain Enfield Chase but there is significant
urban development near the gauging station. Mix of land use is typical of much
of the English Lowlands. | Very responsive flow regime. Minor net export
due to gw abstractions. Abstractions for pws. Large ornamental lake in
headwaters. Levels occasionally affected by the new river overspill at Maidens
Bridge. |

Station located on the Pymmes Brook with a catchment dominated by urban land
use. | Crump weir (crest width 6.16m) in a concrete trapezoidal channel.
Installed in 1972 a few metres upstream of the original station (Alcazaar
38025). The original station was commissioned in 1954 and operated as a rated
section. | Theoretical crump weir formula used to calculate flows since
the weir was built. Crest tapping and tail levels suggest the weir remains
modular throughout the flow range. Station performs well at low flows but too
few gaugings at mid to high flows to confirm levels of uncertainty. |
Original rating superseded in 1963 by a new discharge table and the old
records were corrected. This was replaced in 1981 by one which took into account
the trapezoidal nature of the channel. Data from November 1972 to 1981 was
recalculated and the new rating was adopted since 1982. Flows corrected for weir
drowning since 1982. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Impervious (London Clay) catchment.
Pymmes Brook rises on Enfield Chase but the catchment is now dominated by urban
land use. | Pre-1965 runoff substantially enhanced by sewage effluent (now
treated outside the catchment). Currently no significant abstractions or
discharges. Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Station located on a tributary of the River Stort. Flow regime affected by
abstractions and irrigation. | Flat V weir (1:10.9 cross-slope) 4.02m
wide. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Bypassing occurs at high flows (e.g. Oct 2001 flood). Flows > 17 cumecs
exceed the capacity of the structure. At tail recorder was added in February
2011, to account for issues with non-modular flow. Non-modularity may have been
increasing during the period of record. Flows derived from standard Flat V
calculation. Rating is accurate, though more gauging is required to validate
high flow range (no current meter readings above 0.6m). All flow is within bank,
but by-passing does occur during floods. | Data for period of record
re-processed to correct for non-modularity. In the peak flow data, this
correction has only been applied for 1982 onwards. For the daily flow data
relevant modern levels of non-modularity were utilised to derive reprocessed
flows. | Pervious (Chalk) headwaters, mainly London Clay in lowest
reaches. Land use mainly agricultural but the Pincey Brook drains Stansted
Airport and Hatfield Forest. | Flows reduced by public water supply
abstraction. Spray irrigation can be significant (especially in the upper part
of the catchment). Balancing ponds at Stansted Airport provide some headwater
regulation. |

The ultrasonic gauging station is located in the lower River Stort, a
tributary in the upper River Lee catchment. | Multi-path US (cross-path),
superseded a single-path device. | All but exceptional floods contained.
Very low velocities (canalised river) hampered calibration. | Some early
dmfs estimated due to instrumentation malfunction. | Chalk headwaters,
London Clay dominates lower catchment (considerable Drift cover). Rural upper
catchment, substantial urban development (including Harlow & Bishops
Stortford) in the valley. | Limited net impact of artificial influences

The gauging station is located on Stansted Brook in a largely rural
catchment that contains Stansted Airport. | Flat V weir (1:10 cross-slope)
in slightly trapezoidal channel (3.5m wide). | The weir is modular and all
flows are contained. | Some early data (from 1964) available for a
limited-range weir d/s. | Mixed geology with clear west-east contrast.
Chalk dipping occur below Eocene clays and there is extensive Drift cover.
Largely rural but with substantial urban development above the catchment
outlet. | Stable discharge at very low flows, due to spring outflows, but
is subject to artificial disturbance. Very few abstractions in the catchment but
flows are influenced by motorway runoff and an u/s storage lagoon at Stansted
Airport. Lagoon sluice closures can result in occasional zero flows. |

The station is a replacement of the former upstream gauging station, the
Upper Lee at Luton Hoo (38013). | The station is a replacement of the d/s
gauging station, the Upper Lee at Luton Hoo (38013). It is a rated section
located 400m d/s of the old structure. | Rated section (using a control
section) within an existing channel. | Insensitive at very low flows.
Significant periods of near zero flow. | A Chalk catchment (with Drift)
that is heavily urbanised. | The station is located d/s of the outfall
from an ornamental lake (with storage capacity) at Luton Hoo Park. It is also
located above a significant discharge from a STW. Flows are substantially
reduced as a result of gw abstractions. The catchment has substantial amounts of
urbanisation resulting in rapid run-off and a flashy response. |

The Thames at Kingston, replacing the d/s Teddington weir measurement
structures, has one of the longest flow records associated with any UK flow
gauging station. Dating from 1883, it is of major historical and modern day
significance. Naturalised flows are available for the period of record. In May
2023, Kingston was recognised by the World Meteorological Organization for
having more than 100 years of hydrological observations. | Until 1974 the
GDFs were derived from Teddington Weir (a 150m long complex of gates, sluices,
weirs and locks that span 70m across the river), where a tailwater rating was
used with twice-daily levels (at low tide) to compute flows >85 cumecs. In
1974 a single path US was commissioned 2km upstream to replace the weir as the
primary method for flow derivation. This was upgraded to a multi-path
configuration (6 paths) US in 1986, and a second US was installed in 1991 to
confirm the performance of the primary gauge. Work undertaken in 2018 to further
upgrade the ultrasonics to make the station resilient to a 1-in-1000 year flood
event. | Kingston: US (6 paths) with back-up to confirm the performance of
the primary gauge. During warm weather the gauge can malfunction as the
ultrasonic beam is bent by temperature gradients in the river, however this is
unlikely to affect high flows but can effect gauge performance at low flows. No
issues from temperature gradients have been seen in the past 20years. Increased
channel capacity means that bank-full is now very rarely exceeded and the
ultrasonic gauge is capable of measuring all within bank flows. Generally,
accuracy is good at peak flows, although less so for flows below 5 cumecs.
Teddington Weir: Only DMFs are estimated. High hydrometric accuracy is made
difficult by leakage, lockages and the general complexity of the site.
Significant structural improvements have been made since 1883, but high
hydrometric accuracy not achievable for the pre-1951 record. The history of flow
measurement at Teddington is detailed in Chapter 6 of Hydrometry: Principles and
Practices (1978), Ed. R. W. Herschy, John Wiley and Sons. | Daily
naturalised flows available. Daily abstractions between Windsor (39072) and
Teddington are added to the DMFs. Leakage and lockages were allowed for in the
Teddington flow calculation, but may have resulted in the underestimation of
early low flows This was likely to have been a particular problem in the 1930s
and 1940s. Gauged flow fell to zero in August 1976. The 1894 peak GDF was
re-assessed in 2002 (800 cumecs). The AMAX provided are derived from the
definitive natural annual maximum mean daily flow series (not instantaneous
AMAX). | Diverse topography, geology and land use, which, together with
the pattern of water utilisation, has undergone important historical
changes. | Baseflow sustained mainly from the Chalk and the Oolites.
Regulation from surface water and/or ground water and reservoir(s) in the
catchment affect runoff. Flashy response from tributaries draining the clay
dominated catchments. Some effluent derived from outside the catchment increases
runoff but overall this is substantially less than major PWS and
industrial/agricultural abstractions. Gw abstraction/recharge may also
contribute to runoff patterns. |

Gauging station complex situated in the mid reaches of the main River
Thames. Naturalised flows are available for part of the period of record.
Station closed 2018, use Sutton Courtenay (39046) as a replacement. |
Adjustable thin-plate weir (5.48m wide) plus 15 radial gates, replaced a
barrage of radial and buck gates in 1969. An US 8.5 km u/s at Sutton Courtenay
(39046) also measures flow in the Thames (US since 1982, records from 1973),
immediately below the abstraction point and u/s of the offtake point for Didcot
Power Station. Station closed in 2018, use Sutton Courtenay as the
replacement. | Non-standard weir calculation for peak flows that is
specific to this site. Rating formulae based upon gaugings - tailwater
calibration applies for flows > 70 cumecs; above 100 cumecs overspill occurs.
Tail levels are recorded relative to standard head level. | Daily
naturalised flows for part of the POR (equal to gauged flows up to 1973) - allow
for Didcot Power Station losses only. Hydraulic modelling has indicated that the
exceptional March 1947 flood may be overestimated. | Mixed geology
(Oolitic Limestone headwaters, Oxford Clay downstream). Predominantly rural with
development concentrated along the valley. Swindon and Oxford are large urban
areas within the catchment. | Runoff reduced by abstraction for public
water supply and industrial/agricultural abstraction; increased by effluent
returns. River levels affected by lock movements and gates. D/s confluence with
the Thame may also cause backwater effects. |

Station is sum of rectangular critical-depth flume with additional side
flume. Artificial flow pattern, influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge,
urban runoff. | Compound station, consisting rectangular critical-depth
flume, 5.5m wide. A compound station since 1999, when a side flume was added - a
small rectangular flume, approx 1m wide with approx 1m wingwalls. The side
channel contributes only 2-5% of the total flow. Superseded (following channel
improvements) Wandle Park immediately u/s (sporadic data available 1939-1960).
Side channel flume performs poorly due to weed in channel. Flat +3% contribution
from side channel added to main flume until structure can be improved. |
Drowns (and bypassed) during notable floods. 'Pitot' effect noted in 1986
and inlet pipe altered accordingly. Original theoretical calibration broadly
confirmed by subsequent gauging programme and hydraulic modelling. |
September 1968 peak flow estimated at c40 cumecs (earlier est. of 56 cumecs
includes runoff from the Graveney). In the July 2007 event slight drowning and
bypassing began at an estimated flow of about 30 m3/s. AMAX data 1964 to 2004
reviewed, previous data from Wandle Park is excluded. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | The
Wandle is spring-fed from Chalk headwaters but the lower catchment is largely
London Clay. Urban/suburban (but some river restoration underway) with
significant areas of parkland. | The flow regime has a large baseflow
component, influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Urban runoff and
sewage effluent (some deriving from outside the catchment) also strongly
influence flow patterns. Very artificial flow pattern. Automatic weirs affect
pattern, otherwise no processing issues. Topographic catchment substantially
exceeds effective drainage area, estimated as 54 km2. This estimate of the
effective area includes 34 km2 between Beddington Park & Connolly's Mill
plus the estimate of 20 km2 to Beddington Park. |

Velocity area stations gauging a very flashy catchment with complex water
utilisation. Station closed in 2016. | Velocity area station. Station was
previously electromagnetic (buried coil), a compound Crump weir (1964-1991,
bankfull flow 5.73 cumecs) and very insensitive broad-crested weir (1939-1964).
Some of the photos show a structure constructed (probably around 1992) to keep
head levels high in summer, located 50m downstream of the gauging station. |
The compound Crump weir was subject to hydrometric problems, such as
siltation, inaccurate zero settings, algal growth, which continued into the
1980s. Siltation in channel causes uncertainties in level measurement that may
affect low flows, but flows corrected to allow for this. In spite of the above
comments, QMED is similar for Crump Weir and EM station. Theoretical peak flow
rating provided from Crump weir, with some check gaugings, though few at high
flows. Gauging programme to confirm calibration is ongoing. | Suspect data
in recent years due to low confidence in rating, new measurement technique being
investigated. Missing data in summer 2016 due to instrument failure. Historical
record poor. Peak flow data reviewed by hydraulic modelling after July 2007
event. | Primarily a Chalk catchment (with significant Drift cover) but
London Clay predominates near to the gauging station. Suburban/urban land use
dominates the lowest third of the catchment. Suburban/urban land use. Effective
drainage area is much smaller than topographical catchment in .cd2 file (a value
of the order of 20km2 has been suggested). Effective catchment area contributing
to flows in the Croydon Branch of the River Wandle upstream of Beddington Park
is considered remarkably smaller than 122km2, of the order of 20km2. |
Very flashy catchment creates difficulties in gauging high flows. Relatively
stable baseflow but urban runoff and complex water utilisation (including
substantial groundwater abstraction) influence flow patterns; flashy storm
response. |

Trapezoidal flume with patchy record before 1983. | Trapezoidal flume
from November 1939, with nominal capacity 26.7m/3s but no standing-wave formed
until invert raised in 1961. Overall channel width: 10m. Original station built
1935 as a flume: details unknown, but thought to have had maximum capacity of
around 6.2m3/s. | Capacities of u/s and d/s culverts can influence flood
flows. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. Gaugings confirm
rating to ~1.7m with some scatter evident. Highest gauging c0.7 QMED. Ongoing
gauging programme to verify rating (which overestimates flows). | Very
patchy flow record prior to 1983. Bypassed during flood of September 1968; peak
estimated at 24-34 cumecs. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A narrow catchment; Chalk
headwaters but a largely London Clay catchment of urban/suburban character.
Topographic catchment slightly exceeds effective drainage area. |
Artificial flow pattern; runoff augmented by sewage effluent which has
increased over the record. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. |

Ultrasonic site located just u/s of the confluence with the Thames. The
catchment is mainly pervious limestone; flows are influenced by various
abstractions. | Ultrasonic site replaced compound broad-crested weir
(total crest width 8.3m) with complementary side-spilling weir (14.9m wide) into
bypass channel in March 2010 . A fish pass was established u/s of the weir in
April 2010 following the modification of a bypass channel that was formerly
controlled by a sluice from 1996. A side cut has existed for an unknown period
of time, but most likely since the fish pass was established in 2010. |
Now an ultrasonic site established upstream of large capacity weir that
suffered subsidence and was subject to drowning. Both weirs drown were bypassed
at very high flows. Weed build up, especially during summer, on the crest of the
main channel concrete control structure was a historical problem. From 1962 a
calibration based upon gaugings was adopted resulting in a good rating. Rating
estimated flows to a good level of accuracy but needed confirmation at the
highest flows where gauging was difficult. The weir rating was very insensitive
at low flows for the main weir structure. The fish pass built in April 2010
bypassed the existing gauge. An index velocity flow meter was installed to
quantify the bypass flow but is now decommissioned. Its rating may have been
insensitive due to variable weed growth within this narrow channel. Flow through
the side cut is ungauged since July 2016. Total flow measured by Ultrasonic
gauge upstream of weir since. | Estimated flood peak of 28-31 cumecs in
March 1947 (07/03/1947). This was before the commissioning of the station. Early
data may be overestimated due to lack of weed cutting. Improvements in the
method of water level measurement were made in 1969. Flow data gap between
23/9/03 and 12/1/04 estimated by the EA. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A predominantly
pervious (Oolitic L'st) catchment on the dip-slope of the Cotswolds. Mainly
rural but the lower valley contains Witney and extensive gravel pit
workings. | Flows influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge.
Abstraction occurs for public water supply and industrial/agricultural uses.
Runoff diminished by a small net export of water (minor bypassing via side
channels also occurs). |

Station located on the Blackwater just above the confluence with the River
Loddon. Combined flow from two Crump weirs which replaced the existing flume in
1970. The original structures dated from October 1952. | Two Crump weirs
(main 4.6m wide, capacity 14.5 cumecs; side 2.7m wide, capacity 11 cumecs) based
within separate channels due to limitations on bridge openings and channel
capacities. These superseded the original flume (capacity 4.5 cumecs) and a 9m
wide side-spilling weir (capacity 27 cumecs) during 1970. The main weir is
constructed on the site of the flume and the second weir is 300m u/s on the
adjacent channel. | Both weirs have separate ratings and crest tappings.
Crest heights were selected to improve flood water levels and maintain equable
distribution of flow between the channels. Minor bypassing of the side weir
occurs in flood conditions. Overflows were more frequent pre-1970. One peak flow
rating applied across the period of record has been derived by hydraulic
modelling. Total flow is determined from the stage recorded on the flume/main
weir site. From 2002, crest (pressure) tapping was installed, and used to
correct for drowning of either weir (which may occur above 1m). On the side
weir, crest tapping was replaced by tail corrections (1/5/2018). Pre-1970 peak
flow data should be used with caution. More detailed modelling is required to
improve out-of-bank rating. | Non-modular flow may occur above 1m. Use
data pre 1970 with caution. | Permeable Chalk in the headwaters; clay,
sands and alluvium in the valley. Substantial and expanding urban development in
the eastern Blackwater Valley, but some large rural tracts of arable and pasture
land remain. There are also significant areas of heath and woodland. Exact
delineation of the hydrological catchment near the North Wey is difficult. |
Responsive flow regime. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge, increased by effluent returns. Sewage effluent is a major
component of low flows (large STWs at Camberley and Sandhurst), also some net
import of sewage effluent. Overall modest increase in runoff. |

Complex structure utilised to estimate flows based on the main river channel
within the Upper Thames Catchment. Naturalised flows are available during the
period of record. | Complex barrage of gates and weirs with a total
breadth of 30m. Farmoor ultrasonic station (39129) was intended to replace flow
measurement at Eynsham. | Bypassed at peak flows through an uncalibrated
side channel, though flow estimates are reasonably accurate. Non-standard
site-specific flow calculation. Needs manual entry of lock gates movements from
Tackle sheets to calculate flows. Tail levels are recorded relative to a
different datum to the head levels. The two datums correspond (approx.) to the
Standard Head and Standard Tail Water Levels for the weir (the weir crest levels
of Eynsham and the d/s weir at Kings). | Naturalised flows available
during the period of record. Early flow data derived from once-daily gaugeboard
readings. July 2007 peak estimated at 135 cumecs. Some flows estimated from
Farmoor (39129) e.g. 16 November to the 31 December 2010. | The geology is
mixed with pervious headwaters (Oolitic L'st) and Oxford Clay in lower reaches.
Mainly rural with development concentrated along the valley bottom and u/s
around Swindon. | Reservoir(s) within catchment affect flows, including
Farmoor Reservoir immediately u/s. The off-take, operating from 1955 and is
immediately u/s of the station, can take a large proportion of the flow. Flows
reduced by public water supply abstraction but increased by effluent returns.
Levels affected by gate and lock movements. |

The station, closed 1982, is located in the middle reaches of the River
Thames. | Complex barrage of gates and sluices with a substantial leakage
rate. | Not a primary gauging station. | Flows are indicative

One of the major gauging stations on the middle section of the River
Colne. | Twin semi-circular broad-crested weirs (one section feeds the
Frays River). Overall crest length 30m. Used for both water resource and flood
warning/forecasting purposes. | Power law rating derived using a
simplified broad crested weir formula with a discharge coefficient that remians
constant with stage. No corrections made for non modular or drowned flow.
Maintenance of weir no longer carried out due to Health and Safety concerns, in
channel vegetation can become widespread in growing season. Insensitive to low
flows. Some by-passing can occur at extreme stages. Single rating used
throughout record. | Frays River part of weir sandbagged for downstream
channel works between Jan 2008 and 21st April 2008. Levels artificially high.
Bypassing of weir observed in winter floods of 2002/03. In mid-2016 the large
bridge upstream of the weir collapsed in the channel and it was rebuilt in Nov
2016. Gaugings since have a predominantly negative bias. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). |
A largely Chalk catchment with Drift cover. Clays in the valleys
supplemented by extensive gravel tracts. The Chilterns scarp is largely rural in
the headwaters but considerable suburban development characterises the middle
and lower reaches. Hydrological and topographical divides do not coincide. |
Complex water utilisation within the catchment. Baseflow from the Chalk
remains important but considerable groundwater abstraction leads to net
reductions in flows. However, increasing effluent contribution (including Maple
Lodge STW) makes up a large proportion of low and medium flows. Abstraction is
mainly for industry/agriculture. |

One of the main gauging stations in the Upper Wey Catchment that measures
flow from the South and North Wey tributaries. | Crump weir (crest: 12m
wide) replaced an informal broad-crested structure in 1972 that was incapable of
precise flow measurement. | A tail recorder was installed in May 2013. The
weir was originally constructed with a pressure tapping, but this is almost
permanently blocked by silt. The weir is bypassed during peak flows. One peak
flow rating applied across period of record incorporating the effects of
drowning. Gauged rating replaced Crump calibration in March 1997. | Early
low flows likely to be over-estimates e.g. 1958 & 1969); differing
hydrometric performance reflected in flow records. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | A
predominantly pervious catchment (Chalk and Upper Greensand). Mainly rural with
substantial mixed woodland in the headwaters while arable agriculture
predominates in the western part of the catchment. Topographical catchment
exceeds the gw catchment. | Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. Flows increased by effluent returns. Small net export of
water. Substantial baseflow but very responsive to storm events. |

Non-standard flume with broad-crested weir. Responsive regime but flows are
influenced by water imports and sewage effluent. | Non-standard flume with
bed invert/broad crested weir, 9.1m broad situated in a short reach between u/s
and d/s bends. Baffles installed on downstream face of structure for fish
passage. | Modular to beyond MAF. One peak flow rating applied across
period of record. Rating reasonably accurate, though less so above 0.6m.
Non-modular flow above this level is not well described by the current rating.
Baffles installed Feb 2017 and a gauging programme was carried out by JBA in the
following years. No requirement for rating adjustment was concluded. |
Some pre-war data available; station relocated following post-war river
works. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A largely urban/suburban catchment in SW London
developed mainly on London Clay but headwaters are on the edge of the chalk of
the North Downs. | Responsive regime but sewage effluent, which has
increased over time, dominates the dry weather flow. Chalk headwaters contribute
to baseflow during wet winters. Significant imports of water, hence
unrepresentative runoff. |

The gauging station is located in the upper River Colne catchment. |
Compound Crump Weir with substantial fall d/s (but backwater effects noted
during the 2000 and 2003 floods). Superseded (in 1991) a compound thin-plate
weir (9.0m broad - often drowned and bypassed). | | | A
largely pervious (Chalk) catchment with extensive Drift cover. Rural headwaters;
considerable urban development in the valley. Extensive gravel workings.
catchment difficult to delineate. | Flows over the new weir include those
for the Bucknall's Brook. Effluent (Blackbird's STW) is now a major component of
low flows - can produce abrupt changes in a relatively stable flow regime. Gw
catchment that is difficult to delineate; losses occur (to the River Lee) via
swallow holes. Runoff also diminished by long term gw abstraction (restoration
programme began in 1991). |

Most downstream gauging structure on the River Ver composed of a Compound
Crump weir. | Compound Crump weir with 2 crests, each 2.44m broad.
Superseded the original broad-crested weir in 1969 (plus a bypass channel). |
Theoretical crump weir formula used to calculate flow, evidence suggests
weir rarely drowns or by-passed. Uncertainty in calibration gaugings influenced
by the difficulty in finding a suitable gauging location. In March 2016, low
cost baffles were installed to aid fish passage. | The early flow data are
of a lesser quality (pre-1969). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Permeable Chalk
catchment, with significant Drift cover. Mostly rural headwaters but with
significant urban development in the lower valley. Topographical catchment area
significantly exceeds the hydrological catchment. | Relatively stable,
spring-fed flow regime but artificial influences (sewage effluent returns
especially) evident in low flow patterns. Changing gw abstraction pattern over
time. Runoff diminished by large gw abstractions (including pws for Luton).
These increased sharply from 1950, changing the river's character, until a
restoration programme (ALF) was initiated in the early 1990s; abstractions much
reduced by the late 1990s. |

Crump weir gauging station located within the Upper Loddon catchment. |
Opened as a crump weir (width 3.24m), full range with crest tapping,
superseding a nearby insensitive rectangular thin-plate weir in 1975 that was
operated originally by Mid-Southern Water Company. Index-velocity installed in
2016, but ongoing issues with installation and operation. Removed from peak
flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | The channel is of
low gradient so the weir is vulnerable to drowning (especially in summer when
d/s weed growth can be heavy on the tail). Modular limit approximate 0.13m,
station is highly susceptible to non-modular flow conditions. Standard Crump
weir calculation using tail levels (previously crest tapping). Editing required,
though d/s correction is usually good. Sluice movements u/s affect flows and
levels. River banks damaged by livestock increases siltation issues at the site.
High flows are generally non-modular and rating uncertain under these
conditions. Extreme flows are frequently out of bank. | Data prior to 1975
are of much poorer quality (e.g. resulting from clinging nappe and damaged
crest). Archived data: 1910-1926 monthly flows, 1927-1963 daily (but 7-day
sequences of identical flows); from 1964 onwards GDFs. No mean flow data after
2016 due to ongoing issues with index velocity instrumentation - difficult to
get a reliable relationship. | Catchment is developed almost entirely on
Chalk (with modest Drift cover) and is rural in character with scattered
settlements. | Stable regime that is baseflow dominated. Runoff influenced
by groundwater abstractions and STW outflows. Upstream sluices (at old mill
pond) and informal damming of the weir can also significantly disturb the flow
pattern. Part of the catchment drains into the Basingstoke Canal; a proportion
of this runoff returns to the Whitewater catchment. Occasional fluctuations in
levels probably caused either by siphons under the canal or the canal
overfall. |

Crump weir, the most downstream gauging station on the Kennet. Since 2014
there have been issues with the channel and a new location is being considered
for the lower Kennet gauging station. Closed in 2019 and undergoing
decommissioning. | Crump weir (15.9m broad) equipped with crest pressure
tapping (not used in flow calculations) and d/s recorder. The station is in an
artificially straightened section of the Kennet. Since 2014 the station has
experienced problems with channel morphology and a new gauging station
downstream of Blakes Lock (Reading) has been installed as a possible
replacement. | Stilling well with radar and pressure sensors. Head and
tail levels gauged, crest tapping not used. Cableway installed in 1999 but it
was subsequently removed. The weir has subsided with a difference in level from
left to right of 41mm across the weir crest. Standard Crump weir equation using
tail levels (measured since 2005). Flows tend to be non-modular above 10 cumecs.
Bypassing occurs above 29 cumecs, through gravel pits on the south side of the
flood plain, hence flood flows may be underestimated by the peak flow rating. An
increasing number of bottlenecks downstream causes drowning at increasingly
lower flow rates. | Flows of >24 cumecs and stages of 0.77m+ are
questionable: the rest of the flows gauged are believed to good. Bypassing, flow
in Kennet and Avon Canal and over-reduction of drowned flows may cause
underestimation of peak flows. GDFs 04-24/12/98 estimated by the NRFA using the
Kennet at Newbury (39103). This was due to missing levels, as the gauging hut
was refurbished. Since 2014 there have been issues with the channel rendering
data unsuitable for flood estimation so peak flows are rejected. |
Primarily a rural catchment, especially in the headwaters, with scattered
settlements (Newbury is the largest town) and significant urban development
concentrated along the Kennet Valley. A mainly pervious catchment (Chalk with
significant Drift cover) but the lowest quarter is largely impermeable. |
High baseflow component but responsive contribution from the R. Enbourne.
Can react quickly to heavy rainfall. Flows influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge (WBGS), particularly during drought. Abstraction for
industrial/agricultural purposes but have little net impact. Minor contribution
to the Kennet & Avon Canal. |

Representative catchment that is important in terms of a national network.
It is now a key gauging station for climate change research in the UK. Operated
as an experimental basin by IH until 1987. Subsequently managed by Thames Water
and then by the EA. | Flat V weir, rebuilt in 1998, within a channel 6.5m
wide. The first records for the new weir from 26 March, 1999. Originally a
trapezoidal critical-depth flume with the capacity increased in 1964 to make
station full range. | Easily drowns owing to restriction caused by d/s
culvert. Weir likely to become non-modular before bankful limit. Bypassing
observed in exceptional floods but is not rated. Point at which the weir drowned
(and therefore the flow calculation is completely uncertain) depends on d/s
water levels, may be between 0.3m and 0.55m u/s stage (equivalent to approx 1.5
cumecs). One rating applied across period of record that operates to a standard
theoretical rating. The weir is non modular during peak flows as the structure
is designed primarily as a low flow structure. The last rating review was 2013.
The modular limit is less than Qmed. | Some data loss during 1998 rebuild.
Data from 1982-86 less reliable and incomplete. Natural flows to within 10% at
Q95. | Relatively flat, impermeable (Oxford Clay) catchment largely given
over to agriculture. | Negligible artificial disturbance to the very
flashy, responsive flow regime. |

Peak flow station located just downstream of the current flow measuring
structure on the River Ock in Abingdon (39081). It operated between 1962 to
1978. | Three adjacent broad crested weirs. | Bypassing occurs above
1.3m (12 cumecs), and can be up to 25% of high flows. Consequently, this station
is likely to underestimate flows above a 1 in 2 year flood event. One peak
rating applied across period of record. Rating by current meter
observation. | Bypassing means station underestimates high flows. |
Flat, rural valley in the Vale of The White Horse. There is a mixed geology
that a high proportion of a pervious nature. Chalk downland forms southern
watershed with the remainder mostly Tertiary clays. Characterised by Corallian
Beds, Greensand, Chalk, Kimmeridge Clay, Gault & Alluvium. Contributing area
exceeds topographical catchment. | Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. Flows augmented by sewage effluent (derived from outside
catchment). |

The lowest gauging station in the Lambourn Valley, a crump weir that
measures this baseflow dominated catchment. The weir at Shaw was removed in
November 2019 to aid fish passage in the Lambourn. | Crump weir (10.67m
wide) with auxiliary d/s recorder. A pond discharge ditch, running parallel to
the main river, bypasses the weir. An ultrasonic flow gauge was temporarily
installed into the discharge ditch d/s of the weir and below the A339 road
bridge (mean flow 0.2 cumecs). Another multi-path ultrasonic has also been
installed within the road bridge structure for future operational reasons. |
There is a possibility of bypassing (overspilling) on the left bank upstream
of weir in high floods when storage may be provided by Donnington Lake. Most
flows in the modular range. Modular limit reduced to 4.8 cumecs following
habitat enhancement d/s (January 2010). Theoretical Crump weir rating confirmed
by gaugings. | The impact of a bypass drainage ditch on gauged flows is
currently under investigation. Flows at this station are from the weir and end
in 2019, pending assessment of continuity with the new ultrasonic gauge that was
installed. | A rural catchment in the Chalk of the Berkshire Downs.
However there are significant Clay-with-Flints cover with alluvium in the
valleys. Local suburban growth near the gauging station but it is primarily a
rural catchment dominated by agricultural land use (predominantly arable and
grassland). | Runoff influenced by gw abstraction/recharge. PWS
abstraction occurs in the headwaters. D/s sluices (occasionally) influence
flows. Net artificial disturbance to the regime is limited (apart from periods
during which the WBGS is operating to provide low flow support, e.g. Autumn,

Crump weir located in the mid catchment of the River Coln. | British
Standard Crump weir (9.1m broad). Some overspill onto floodplain before design
capacity reached. | Modular throughout the range. Estimates flows well.
Rated by a standard crump weir calculation confirmed by gaugings. |
Overspill might be significant in extreme events (e.g. late-2000 floods and,
particularly, July 2007). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9) and in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Pervious (Oolitic L'st) catchment on the dip-slope of the
Cotswolds. Predominantly rural and dominated largely by agricultural land use
(arable and grassland). Some scattered settlements also. | Baseflow
dominated flow regime. Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge.
Limited overall impact of artificial influences on river flows - minor net
import from sewage effluent discharges. |

The station is based in a largely rural catchment that contains the North
Oxfordshire town of Banbury. | Asymmetrical compound Crump weir (crests:
3.05m and 6.10m) with side-spilling overfall weir for flows > 10 cumecs. |
Structure remains modular but flows > 16 cumecs (head of around 0.9m)
spill onto floodplain. Bypassing the weir occurs a few hundred metres upstream.
Crump weir does not normally drown. Some weed growth u/s. The main weir operates
in accordance with Crump weir theory. The main Crump weir uses BS standard
equation while the side-spilling weir uses a power law up to a flow of 8 cumecs.
A modelled peak flow power law rating is used when the combined weir flow
exceeds 8 cumecs. A tail water flow corrections in use from 2012 on main
weir. | Limited utility for flood analysis; level measurement imprecise
prior to 1967 and bypassing has varied in magnitude through time. Recorded peaks
are underestimates; the peak in April 1998 probably exceeded 100 cumecs whilst
the July 2007 peak was estimated at 85 cumecs. This is used when the weir is
drowned. Flows, post-2005, have been recalculated. | A largely rural
catchment but with Banbury at its centre in the upper reaches of the Cherwell.
The geology is mixed but is predominantly impermeable Liassic formations
(clay). | Flows reduced by public water supply abstraction and increased
by effluent returns. Limited overall impact of artificial influences on the
runoff (net reduction). |

This station contains a combination of structures that include two crump
weirs and a by-pass flume. These structures superseded a flume and side-spilling
weir which were historically subject to bypassing. | Two Crump weirs (2.1m
crest, plus 6.9m crest oblique to channel flow) were installed in 1970. A flume
was also installed in a new by-pass channel in mid 2002. The flume is not
functional and takes less than 1% of the flow under normal flow conditions. This
decreases at higher flows. It is not currently used for flow calculations. It is
being re-evaluated for possible fish passage viability. | Both Crump weirs
remain modular. Protected flows are derived from standard Crump weir equations
using both crests. All but extreme flows are contained. | Bypassing within
the flume is estimated to be up to 10% at peak flows. Outstation problems
reported between 1999 and 2000. There was a sudden short-term drop in levels.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023
(WINFAP Files v12). | Headwaters are in the Chalk of the North Downs but
the catchment is largely impervious. A predominantly rural catchment, containing
some important (and growing) urban centres. | Responsive flow regime with
significant baseflow and effluent components. Flows increased by net a import of
water into the catchment (e.g. via Basingstoke STW). Runoff influenced by
groundwater abstraction/recharge. Abstraction is for industrial/agricultural
purposes. Weed growth some distance u/s may affect accurate flow estimates. |

The lowest site on the Wye, located downstream of Wycombe. | British
Standard Crump weir, 6.1m broad installed on a slight bend. | Bend in
channel causes a build-up of very mobile silt on the upstream right hand apron,
which changes the channel cross-sectional area. Site not originally located on
bend; fisheries enhancements have changed the channel. Modular throughout the
flow range. All but extreme floods contained. Protected flows derived from
standard Crump weir equation. | Mill operation evident in early record.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Dip-slope valley in the Chiltern. A mainly pervious
(Chalk) catchment with an overburden of Clay-with-Flints (glacial deposits) on
the higher ground. Rural headwaters but contains several growing urban/suburban
centres in the lower valley (including Wycombe). | The flow regime
(especially during low flows) is significantly influenced by artificial
influences especially abstractions (particularly gw). The recent closure of the
u/s High Wycombe STW has meant that sewage effluent has been redirected to
Marlow STW. A groundwater compensation flow has been put in place for the river.
However there is no daily variation damping at low flows. Flashy response from
growing urban fraction but regime remains baseflow dominated. |

Velocity-area station. Responsive regime. Discontinued 1976, replaced by
39086. | 70m long open concrete culvert of uniform section and bed
gradient. Stage pile erected in the deep water section above the culvert
length. | Lack of gauging data means rating curve is difficult to
evaluate. Unsatisfactory rating and flows frequently went beyond the range of
the recorder. Recorder range is limited to a maximum of 265 cusecs (7.5m/s).
Higher flows have been extrapolated from the trace. The September 1968 flood,
for instance, had an estimated peak stage of 2.32m, corresponding to a flow of
15.3m/s according to an extrapolation of the rating curve. | Discontinued
1976, replaced by 39086. | Upper Tunbridge Wells sand (hard and soft
sandstones and silts with local development of Cuckfield Clay) covers most of
the catchment area. The Gatwick Stream has cut down through the Upper Tunbridge
Wells Sand to expose the Grinstead Clay in some places south of the confluence
of the Worth Brook. Grinstead Clay and Lower Tunbridge Wells Sand are also
exposed by the headwaters of the Worth Brook. Weald Caly covers the catchment
area north of the Tilgate Brook and in the northern projection of this area.
Substantially urbanised catchment, with significant woodland. | Moderate
permeability. |

The station is located in the responsive Enbourne catchment. | Station
comprises asymmetrical compound Crump weir (crest widths 3.0m and 4.56m,
separated by 0.3m wide divide pier). A timber baffle fish pass has been
installed below the crest of the low flow crump weir (lb). | Generally
good high flow calibration (the station remains modular up to 18 cumecs) but the
highest flows are underestimated due to bypassing over the left bank. Between
1967 and 1977, the rating was a standard Crump formula with no correction for
drowned flows. In 1977, the rating was altered to allow for drowned flows (where
levels were greater than 0.96m) and flows were revised. However, this
underestimated flow when the river was out of bank. In 1992, a d/s tail recorder
was installed and the standard Theoretical Crump weir rating using head and tail
levels was used to adjust for non-modularity and to correct for drowned flows.
Still no adjustment made for out of bank flow. A total flow flood forecasting
rating is available. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Catchment is mainly
impervious (Tertiary clays), and responsive. Chalk outcrops and Upper Greensand
in the headwaters. Land use is principally agricultural with significant
woodland and scattered settlements. | Responsive regime. Runoff is
influenced by gw abstraction/recharge but overall this is moderate and there is
a net export of water. Abstractions occur for industrial/agricultural use. From
1989 the impact of WBGS may be evident on low flows with a specific example
being between October and November, 2012. |

Asymmetrical compound Crump-type weir within a largely rural catchment that
is influenced by abstraction, STWs and the Oxford canal. | Asymmetrical
non-standard compound Crump-type weir (crest widths: 3.05m, 8.94m). U/s gradient
1:2; d/s gradient 1:3. Design and built dimensions differ so rating under
review. The low flow weir is separated from the wider high flow weir by a
vertical steel plate that is supported by metal struts fastened to the rb
abutment. | Modular limit is approximately 22 cumecs (c. 1.1m). Rated by
standard compound Crump weir equation using tail levels, pending
non-standardisation. D/s tail level monitoring only introduced in 1992 but tail
water levels fall below intake pipe (low to medium flows) so only applied at
peak flows. Rating is fairly accurate up to modular limit (approx 1.1m). Peak
flow flood forecasting rating available, thought to be more accurate than tail
water corrections. | April 1998 peak estimated at around 90 cumecs (but
level exceeded structure-full by c. 1.5m). Flows above 30 cumecs should be
treated with caution because of the impact of Banbury flood storage area. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | A largely impermeable catchment mainly of Liassic formations.
Mainly rural but with considerable urban development near the catchment
outfall. | A relatively responsive regime but flows influenced by public
water supply abstraction and STW. A large u/s abstraction (Grimsbury) can
appreciably distort the low flow hydrograph. Sewage effluent also appreciable.
Approx. 50 sq.km of the catchment drains directly to the Oxford Canal; some of
this runoff returns (via an overfall weir) u/s of Banbury. The flood storage
area at Banbury has a capacity of 3 million cubic metres and was completed in
2012. The two outlets are designed to hold the flow at about 2x18 = 36 cumecs
until the spillway begins to operate. |

Station within a rural, mainly chalk, catchment with some influence from
abstraction and the main Thames in times of flooding. | Crump weir, 4.0m
broad. A tail-water tapping was installed in 2000 (data from 01/07/2001) to
replace previous crest-tappings. Low cost fish baffles are present, but they
have no impact on the weir. | Stilling well with shaft encoders. The
modular limit is approximately 0.4m. Non-modular flows are adjusted via
tail-water tapping. Backwater effects, created by the River Thames confluence
137m downstream, cause drowning or even submergence. Correction for drowning is
difficult due to the unreliability of the pressure tapping (performance has
declined through time). Crest-tapping is no longer used due to siltation. There
is greater uncertainty in flows at stages above 0.4m and below 0.1m. No local
bypassing but extensive overspilling occurs into Sulham Brook near Tidmarsh
during extreme floods (e.g. July 2007 when weir was also drowned). Peak flow
rating based on a Standard Crump weir calculation using tail levels. Peak flow
rating estimates flow to a good level of accuracy, if not drowned or
bypassed. | High flows should be treated with caution where overspill
occurs into Sulham Brook (e.g. July 2007), or drowning is caused by the Thames.
Increased flows in October / November 2017 evident in both upstream and
downstream level, cause unknown. Fish baffles have no impact on weir. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Catchment is principally pervious (Chalk) but a low
percentage is impermeable (Reading Beds, London Clay and Alluvium); appreciable
Drift/Clay-with-Flint cover also. A largely rural catchment with appreciable
woodland and scattered settlements. | Abstraction mainly for
industrial/agricultural use. Flow/runoff substantially diminished by groundwater
abstractions, although there has been a large reduction in the Compton
abstraction from the early 1990s. Occasional impact of WBGS but otherwise
relatively few artificial influences on flows. |

Station located in a mainly rural chalk based catchment dominated by a
natural baseflow. | Crump weir, 10.7m broad. Full range and modular. |
Peak flow rating based on a standard Crump Weir calculation. Flow slightly
underestimated due to differences in design and actual weir dimensions. |
Flat line in flows in June 2018 caused my shaft encoder wire issue, no
substitute data available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | A mainly pervious (Chalk)
catchment but with appreciable Clay-with-Flints cover in the northern part of
the catchment. Rural character (chiefly agricultural but the Dun drains part of
Savernake Forest). | Abstractions and discharges are of minor
significance. Small net loss, but essentially a natural baseflow-dominated flow
regime, natural to within 10% at Q95. Levels affected by the lock on the
canal. |

Station influenced by drainage from the North Downs, a d/s artificial pond
and high flows from the River Wye. | Crump weir, 5.5m broad immediately
d/s of ornamental pond. A tail recorder was added in August 2013. | High
flows often overestimated (backing-up from Wey causes drowning, crest-tapping
operational but often blocked - requires regular cleaning and pumping out). If
the tapping is blocked, an approximate rating for drowned flow is used. This is
inaccurate because the weir will drown at different head values depending on the
water levels in the River Wey. Rated by a standard Crump weir calculation.
Rating for modular flow is reasonably accurate, but there are some discrepancies
in both the gaugings and the rating extension for non-modular flow. One peak
flow rating across the period of record. | | The main valley is
broad, but the headwaters drain the North Downs scarp and hilly terrain to the
south also. The geology is dominated by the Lower Greensand that is nominally
pervious. The catchment is responsive to heavy rainfall due to a large clay
component within the geology. A rural catchment predominantly agricultural but
with substantial woodland and many scattered settlements. | Sensibly
natural runoff pattern (natural to within 10% at Q95), but substantial baseflow
component to flow regime but also responsive to heavy rainfall. Runoff
influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Some artificial flow regulation
and very minor effect of industrial/agricultural abstractions and
discharges. |

The gauging station is located in the lower part of the River Gade
catchment. | Compound Crump-type weir (three sections, total breadth
10.1m); sharp bend immediately d/s. All flows are contained. | |
The negligible inflow from the Grand Union Canal via an overfall weir is no
longer monitored. | Primarily a permeable (Chalk) draining the dip-slope
of the Chilterns; appreciable Drift cover. Mixed land use: rural headwaters,
considerable urban development below. | Baseflow dominated regime but with
significant artificial influences evident, particularly at low flows. The net
effect of abstractions and discharges is to make the runoff rather
unrepresentative; overall a net export of water occurs. |

The station was initially set up to assess the results of the Lambourn
Groundwater recharge pilot scheme. The station was decommissioned in September
1983. It was then recommissioned in March 2003 as part of LOCAR project. |
Mainly low flow station, consisting of 2 Crump weirs and a broad crested
weir built under 3 arches of a bridge. Each weir is 2.92m long and the crest of
the BC weir is set 0.31m higher than the 2 Crump weirs. The bridge had
previously housed 3 sluice gates. The station is located on a bend at the end of
a long reach. Removed from peak flows dataset in April 2017 (WINFAP Files
v5). | This is a poor location for gauging high flows. Stage recorded on
Munro recorder on outside of bend, whereas Crump weirs are on inside and centre
of bend. Last gauged in January 2011, however catchment and site are stable.
Flow data generated using unverified rating equation. | Flows June to
September 2011 estimated due to equipment failure. | A rural catchment
(largely arable and grassland) developed on the Chalk of the Berkshire Downs
(but significant Clay-with-Flints cover and alluvium in the valleys). A largely
natural baseflow-dominated regime. | Artificial regulation upstream.
Occasional minor hydrograph blips; no good for analysis. Runoff influenced by
groundwater abstraction/recharge. Some gw abstraction and occasional impacted by
the WBGS (e.g. Oct/Nov 2012). |

The station is located in the Upper Lambourn valley and was utilised during
various periods as a flow guaging site. | Compound Crump weir with a low
centre crest 4.57m long and two side crests 0.3m higher and each 2.29m long.
Located in a good, straight reach and the flow pattern over the weir is
excellent. The station was decommissioned in 1983, recommissioned in 2003 as
part of LOCAR (Lowland Catchment Research) project and was closed again in 2009.
Removed from peak flows dataset in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | All but
very extreme flows contained (wing walls overtopped at around 7.1 cumecs). Some
weed growth u/s. Calibration by standard Crump formula. | | A rural

The station is located in the lower reaches of the Winterbourne Stream,
close to the confluence of the River Lambourn. | Crump weir, 3m wide, but
was originally 5.5m wide and was reduced to improve sensitivity in 1968. Prone
to siltation upstream of weir. | Full range. Resurveyed in 1997 and a new
datum was recorded. Non-modular flow conditions can occur when stage is in
excess of 0.25m. Protected flows derived from standard Crump weir
calculation. | 2017/2018 AMAX accounts for West Berks Groundwater Scheme
pump test in May 2018. 2018/2019 AMAX not affected by WBGS. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files

This gauging station utilises two different weir structures (crump and side
spilling weir) to estimate flow for the site. | Complex configuration.
Compound Crump weirs (crests: 2.445m and 3.7m wide) plus two side spilling weirs
40m u/s discharging into a canal section. These consists of a 4.614m wide Crump
weir and a 7.46m wide broad-crested weir. | Cassington is the combination
of two weirs (1 Crump using BS equation & one side spill using a power law)
up to 16 cumecs. A modelled peak flow power law rating is used when the combined
weir flow exceeds 16 cumecs and bypassing 500m upstream begins. A detailed
hydraulic modelling and review of rating was carried out after a July 2007
event, to account for spillage into the floodplain about 500m upstream which
bypasses the gauging station. Rating adjusted from hydraulic modelling (EdenVale
Young). One peak flow rating applied across the period of record. |
Heavily bypassed during the extreme flood of July 2007; peak estimated at 75
cumecs. Series reviewed and extended back to 1971 by Black & Veatch. |
Headwaters largely impervious (Lias Series), pervious Oolitic L'st in lower
reaches. Responsive regime. A mainly agricultural catchment with scattered
settlements. Rural in character. | Near-natural catchment. Some influence
from industrial/agricultural abstraction and effluent returns. Small net import
of water. Some limited storage in Blenheim Lake. |

Station located downstream of Cirencester on the River Churn. |
Asymmetrical compound Crump weir (crests: 1.8m and 3.7m wide). | Full
range (and modular) but bypassing can occur at peak flows. This maybe due to
peak flow water conveyance in a low lying area that containing a drainage
channel. This lies 100m from the river between the main river channel and a
disused canal. Very limited head during periods of low flow, hence sensitivity
problems. Characterised by a fast rise in water levels during a low flow period.
A landowner has occasionally used lasher boards at one crest to impound water
for animal watering. Flow is within bank and rating estimate flows fairly
accurately. | The river experiences periods of zero flow in some years.
Flows generally lower than Cirencester GS due to gravel working. Peak flows
probably under-estimated during 2000/01 and July 2007 due to channel bypassing.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Linear catchment on the dip-slope of the Cotwolds.
Primarily a pervious (Jurassic oolitic L'st) catchment but with Oxford Clay in
lower reaches. Rural in character. Cirencester is the largest town. Extensive
open water (Cotswold Water Park) just u/s of Cerney Wick. |
Groundwater-fed regime with notably steep seasonal recoveries during wet
autumn/early winters. Runoff reduced by industrial/agricultural abstraction but
increased by effluent returns. Gw abstractions result in significant loss to the
catchment. Evaporation from gravel pits may also be a factor in recent years.
Flow sometimes affected by discharges from South Cerney Halford quarry SU 072
967 (consent 13Ml/d from 1986). |

The station is located on Law Brook, a tributary of the Tilling Bourne
within the Wey Catchment. | Rectangular thin-plate weir, 2.7m broad. |
Flood discharges can exceed weir capacity and bypassing occurs on the right
bank; some leakage below weir plate also suspected to have occurred. Heavy
accretion (silting) u/s needs dredging regularly as it causes the weir to
underestimate flow. Weir damaged in 1996. One rating applied across period of
record. Rating is accurate before 1983. No gaugings 1983 to 1993 but post-1993
rating may generally underestimate GDFs and peak flows. | Some peak flows
are beyond the upper limit of the rating and so should be treated with
caution.(e.g. during 2012). Low flow data from June & July 1996 maybe
underestimated due to damaged sustained by the weir. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Small, relatively steep, rural catchment draining from the Winterfold Forest
and Hurtwood. Mainly pervious , developed principally on Hythe Beds (Upper
Greensand). There is substantial woodland and appreciable urban development in
the lower catchment. | Baseflow dominated regime but responsive on
occasions. Apparent very late response (autumn) to winter recharge. Low flow
pattern affected by inputs from artesian boreholes (supporting watercress beds).
Runoff is less diminished since the closure of the Thames Water gw abstraction
near to the station. |

Station based in the chalk dominated upper catchment of the River
Kennet. | Crump weir, 6.1m broad, with crest-tapping plus a broad-crested
side weir for high flows. Fish passage baffles fitted to back face of the main
crump weir in 2014. | Full range and only subject to occasional drowning.
One peak flow rating applied across period of record. Rating curve currently
underestimates flows beyond 0.442m when the rating should be based on a crump
and broad crested weir. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | A Chalk catchment
with some Clay-with-Flints cover in the lower catchment. It is predominantly
rural with Marlborough, a market town, close to outfall. The runoff is low and
overall is a baseflow dominated catchment. The hydrological catchment is smaller
than the topographical catchment. | Baseflow dominated regime where runoff
is low. The hydrological catchment is smaller than the topographical catchment;
some diminution (reduction) in flow also results from gw abstraction. |

Broad crested weir gauging a tributary of the Thames, closed in 1994 and
replaced by Wheatley (39105). | Broad-crested weir (width 10.5m),
decommissioned in 1994. It was replaced by Wheatley (39105) located 10.5km
downstream where the floodplain is contrained by an old railway embankment.
Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Gauged by current meter, imprecise at peak flows when flows often exceed
bank full. Weir drowns easily and is sometimes bypassed (on right bank above
1.0m). Rating is theoretical with modification for non-modular flow using tail
water measurements, but remains uncertain above 1.0m. | | A rural
catchment draining from the Chilterns scarp (Chalk) but developed mainly on
clays and Greensand. | Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge and increased by effluent returns. Responsive regime with a
small baseflow flow contribution from the Chalk scarp of the Chilterns. |

The gauging station is located in the upper River Wye catchment. |
Flat V (1:10 cross-slope) with crest tapping installed, in 1996, as part of
ALF programme. Structure width exceeds natural channel width. Previously flows
were monitored, from 1937, at the same site using two thin-plate weirs (1.8 and
1.4m broad). | Non-modular for significant periods due to heavy
weed-growth in d/s section. | Discontinued in 1975 due to poor hydrometric
performance - data unreliable (not held on NRFA). | A Chalk catchment with
significant Clay-with-Flints cover. Mostly rural but appreciable urban and
commercial development above the g/s. | Stable, spring-fed regime but
impact of artificial influences evident. |

Compound Crump weir based in the main channel within the Upper Thames
Catchment. | Compound Crump weir (crests: 2.5m and 4.5m wide) with
crest-tapping. The site is adjacent to a SSSI site and an SAC. The weir is
believed to assist in maintaining levels in the meadow. | Gaugings suggest
the tail reduces the flow too much. The d/s levels is used for drowning
adjustment and this may reduce flows too much. Standard Crump weir calculation
(2 crests) using tail levels. Needs more calibration at peak flows. The channel
capacity d/s has decreased over time. The weir becomes non-modular at a lower
head level than previously. This should not affect calculated flows. |
Drowning now more frequent during high flows due to reduced channel capacity
d/s. Bypassing during extreme floods e.g. during winter of 2000/2001. |
The catchment is characterised by a mixed geology. he Thames rises on the
Cotswolds (Oolitic L'st) with the lower catchment being chiefly Oxford Clay.
Overall the catchment is predominantly Great Oolite and Oxford Clay with some
Cornbrash. The predominant land use is agricultural. Extensive gravel workings
in the main valley. | Groundwater-fed regime but notable seasonal
recoveries during wet autumns. Artificial influences evident at low flows.
Runoff is somewhat diminished by gw abstractions for PWS, industry (gravel
dewatering) and agriculture but more than compensated for by effluent imports
from Cirencester. Small daily fluctuations in levels are caused by STW effluent
returns. |

The station is located on the lower River Leach, less than a kilometre above
the confluence with the River Thames. | Crump weir, 4.5m broad with
crest-tapping. | D/s weed growth and backing-up from the Thames can result
in drowning (flows adjusted using tail levels). Bypasses at high flows. Station
does not measure all the flow from the catchment. An overflow channel 2-3 km u/s
above gauging station flows into a distributary, the Leach back stream (gaugings
have measured 0.05 - 1.24 cumecs). Standard Crump weir equation using tail
levels to adjust for non-modular flows. Estimates flow accurately, including
non-modular flow above 0.4m. | Occasional rapid changes in level within
the POR (e.g. April 94 during work on the walls). Previous maxima exceeded
during November/December 2000 but flows not computed. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | A
linear catchment on the dip-slope of the Cotswolds. The geology is mainly on the
Oolitic L'st (also various amounts of Forest Marble, Alluvium, Cronsbrash, Clay
and Gravels). Mostly agricultural with scattered settlements. Extensive gravel
pits occur just above the catchment outfall. | Baseflow dominated regime
but responsive to significant storm events. Runoff reduced by PWS abstraction
and increased by effluent returns (sewage outfall u/s of weir). Effluent derived
from outside the catchment results in small net augmentation of runoff.
Otherwise artificial influences are minimal. |

The gauging station is located in the upper section of the River Kennet
between Marlborough and Hungerford. | Two Crump weirs: 13.7m crest on the
main channel plus a 1.7m crest on the Littlecote Stream. | Good general
association in flow patterns with u/s and d/s gauging stations but the river has
a very flat gradient. Some bypassing occurs during flood events. The main river
is subject to frequent drowning (weed growth/siltation) with very high
submergence ratios. | Some pre-1980 flows uncorrected, data under
review. | A Chalk catchment (limited Clay-with-Flints cover). Mainly rural
(includes part of Savernake Forest) but some urban growth in the valley. |
Baseflow dominates the flow regime. Flows slightly diminished by gw
abstraction. |

The station is located on the River Hart above the confluence with the River
Whitewater. | Crump weir, 4.0m broad. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Standard Crump weir calculation with
non-modular corrections. Weir is non-modular throughout most of the range,
requiring considerable adjustments to flows. Crest tapping used until 2014 for
non-modular corrections, replaced by tail water level recording. Banks
overtopped in extreme floods. | Weir is drowned during majority of peak
flow events, and flow is often out of bank. Also poor low flow record due to
weed-induced drowning. | Chalk headwaters but a mainly impermeable (Eocene
formations with a limited overburden of glacial deposits) catchment. Mixed land
use. Rural tracts with considerable woodland but also includes growing urban
development in the headwaters including Camberley and Farnborough. | Flows
augmented by effluent derived from outside the catchment. |

The ultrasonic gauging station is located on the River Thames between the
off-take and discharge for Didcot Power Station. | NIVUS multi-path
ultrasonic replaced earlier Sarasota multi-path ultrasonic in 2021. This
replaced an earlier multi-path ultrasonic no later than 2006, which replaced the
original (first in the UK) single-path device in 1982. | NIVUS ultrasonic
gauge has 4 transducers at 45 degrees to flow. No skewness in flow. Spikes in
data can be caused when weed growth interferes with the ultrasonic beams; these
are removed manually in WISKI. US beam status is logged and sent via telemetry,
so hydrometrists are aware of problems before visiting. Very rarely, boats moor
in the US path and affect readings. Radar sensor for water level measurement
installed in 2021 - previously stilling well with shaft encoder. The radar
always chooses the strongest echo and suppresses weaker echoes. It can struggle
with duck weed and lilies dispersing the beam. All but the highest flows are
contained with significant bypassing in exceptional floods. Remote control ADCP
boats are used to gauge at this site. Exceptionally high flows are difficult to
gauge as the right-hand floodplain is separated from the river by a fence. Low
flows can be difficult to gauge as lock movements nearby u/s and d/s can create
slow waves, which may cause negative flows. Gaugings are taken in the early
morning whenever possible to avoid lock effects, and 8 transects are taken
instead of 4. | Early data of lower precision with isolated extreme minima
and some negative flows in 1976 (not archived). Naturalised daily flows are
available. No data between November 2019 and March 2021 due to gauge failure.
Data are set as missing when there are so many spikes recorded that the despiked
data are unrepresentative. GDF can exceed peak flow if a spike occurs at the
time of peak flow. | Mixed geology: Oolitic L'st headwaters, Oxford Clay
below. Mainly rural with development concentrated in the valleys. |
Rectangular channel in straight, navigable reach where levels and the
velocity profile can be influenced by u/s and d/s locks. |

The station is located on the Silk Stream, a small tributary of the River
Brent. The station is used in a number of national studies of urban and suburban
runoff response. | Flat V weir (1:10 cross slope, width: 8.5m). | A
d/s bridge acts as a control in high flows (1.3m gauge height) and may cause the
weir to drown. Tail recorder data shows that the modular limit is variable but
generally occurs at stages between 0.4 and 0.5m. Tail measurements are not used
to correct non-modular flows. Debris in the channel can influence the
hydrometric performance and siltation between the weir and d/s bridge is also a
problem. Significant u/s deposition can occur and this can also alter the
performance of the weir. The surrounding open space has been used as a dumping
ground. One theoretical rating applied across period of record. The structure is
operated as a rated section with 2 limbs. The lower limb is based on the
theoretical rating for a Flat V weir, gaugings suggest there is a tendency to
underestimate flows. The upper limb, which covers the non-modular range, was
derived from very limited gaugings and confidence remains low. | Some
bypassing occurs during floods (July 2007 flood exceeded the calibration limit
and peak flow may be underestimated). Patchy flow record prior to 1981. Daily
flow data from 1975-1978 estimated using modelling and should be treated with
caution. Poorer quality pre-1973 data available for two earlier stations on the
river (built in 1928 and 1944); significant river improvements undertaken in the
1950s. | Catchment is largely London Clay with a little Drift cover.
Rural/suburban headwaters and is heavily urbanised downstream. Responsive
regime. | Responsive regime. Net impact of abstractions and discharges
uncertain; artificial influences evident at low flows. |

The station is located in the lower reaches of Sor Brook, a tributary of the
River Cherwell. | Crump weir, commissioned in 1982, superseded a compound
broad-crested weir (3.6m broad) plus sluice gates. | Monitoring of the
sluice position complicated the computation of the early flow data. High flow
calibration for the Crump weir not fully defined. | Record ends in
1988. | An impervious (Middle Lias), mainly rural catchment. | Some
bypassing during floods. Minor impact of artificial disturbances on the flow

The station was established to assess the effect on flow due to the growth
of Bracknell, although the structure (previously existing) was not ideal for
this. | Broad-crested weir (13.7m wide) plus adjustable low flow notch
(crest 1.22m wide), that was added in 1968, at outfall from an ornamental
lake. | Possibly some flow under main weir and leakage at the notch
(adjustable weir). Probably unlikely to drown as there is a large drop over
weir. One rating applied across the period of record; tends to underestimate
flows in the AMAX range. This was derived using broad-crested weir theory, with
flows treated as sum of two broad-crested weirs. | Early flow data (prior
to installation of the low flow notch) was less precise. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
An impermeable catchment (London Clay). Rural headwaters, including
considerable woodland, but major new town development (Bracknell) built upstream
since late 1940s. Downstream the land use within the catchment is almost a third
urban overall (with a substantial increase over the POR). | Hydrograph
shows mixed rural/urban response - including the effect of balancing ponds.
Runoff increased by effluent returns and reduced by industrial/agricultural
abstraction. Significant and increasing effluent component during periods of low
flow (primarily from Ascot STW - this represents a net import of water). |

Compound broad-crested weir. Runoff reduced by public water supply
abstraction and increased by increasing sewage effluent contribution. |
Central notch: 2.44m broad (crest changed in July 2003 to Crump profile with
significantly lower crest level, to reduce u/s impoundment) plus flanking
crests: 10.96m broad, no divide walls. | Probably drowns, rated section at
high flows; well rated to 30 cumecs but considerable uncertainty in extreme flow
range. Significant scatter in gaugings surrounding the current rating. Two

Ultrasonic station gauging an impervious catchment with some urban land
use. | Since 2005, an ultrasonic station 200m downstream of original
station - rectangular flume (2.74m broad) in culvert below airport runway plus
Crump weir in overflow channel (built in 1984, and appears to influence the
homogeneity of the flow record). Station added to peak flows dataset in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Six-path ultrasonic gauge, replacing
four-path gauge in September 2019. | Ran dry for the first time in summer
of 1995. Four-path gauge failed in 2016, no data available until re-opening in
September 2019. Multiple years rejected in the Peak Flow Dataset due to missing
data. | Impervious (Weald Clay) catchment; mostly rural but heavy urban
development in the eastern third. | Very limited disturbance to the
responsive, natural flow regime (Gatwick Airport is not in the catchment); small
net export of water. |

Gauging station located on Yeading Brook West, a small tributary of the
River Crane. The station was closed in 1995. | Flat V weir (width: 5.02m,
1:20 cross-slope) u/s of culvert below the Western Avenue. Station demolished
1995. | Limited depth of approach - structure drowns readily at low
discharges (0.28 cumecs) but there is a satisfactory gauged rating. Control
passes to the culvert d/s of the station. Since 1983 some bypassing has occurred
via a feeder ditch. One rating applied across period of record. Capable of
providing good quality data but persistant problems with the correct zero
setting of the stage recorders in the 1970s. | Flow data recorded during
1995 was very unreliable and as verifying the GDF record was difficult the POR
within the NRFA ceases at the end of July 1994. | Impervious, suburban
catchment in NW London, including some of the runoff from Northolt Airport. Some
agricultural land immediately u/s of the station. | Additional floodplain
storage (provided as part of 1983 river improvement scheme) increased lag
times. |

Trapezoidal flume; regime heavily affected by urbanisation. |
Trapezoidal flume; breadth at the critical section: 4.267m; insensitive.
Full range. | One rating applied across period of record. Rating adjusted
from theoretical to better fit spot flow measurements. Due to flashy nature of
channel, EA have been unable to capture flows in third limb of rating and so it
remains unproven. Because of this, Limb 3 remains theoretical with no adjustment
for spot flow measurements in lower limbs. | Full record reprocessed Feb
2019 when new rating was developed. Peak flows marked as rejected between 1986
and 1987 as ascending oscillations are present and appear suspicious. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | The Ravensbourne rises as Tertiary sandstone springs in
Keston Park (dry chalk valleys extend into the North Downs). The lower catchment
is mainly impervious Eocene deposits. Below the headwaters the catchment is
largely within London. | Artificial influences evident at low flows.
Regime heavily affected by urbanisation. Artificial influences (including sewage
outflow and urban runoff) very evident at low flows - see June 2009. |

Flume located on the mid reaches of the River Crane. The regime is affected
by complex water utilisation. | Non-standard critical depth flume
improvised from the invert of a footbridge. Straight reach, banks stabilised by
timber revetments. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Bypassing occurs on left bank above a stage of about 1.3m.
Structure drowns at 1.2 m. Two ratings applied across period of record, the most
recent is valid from April, 1978. Rating derived partly from hydraulic theory
that does not accurately estimate flows. Flume is non-modular before QMED, which
is not accounted for in the current rating. | Pre-1984 flows generally
less reliable. | A flat, generally impervious (mostly London Clay)
catchment of urban / suburban character. It includes Northolt Airport. |
Complex water utilisation. Small natural import of water from the Colne
catchment along the Duke of Northumberland's River. A relatively responsive
regime. |

Trapezoidal flume, runoff is reduced by groundwater abstractions. |
Trapezoidal, critical depth flume constructed in 1974 located approximately
0.5km upstream of confluence with the Ravensbourne. The site replaces a previous
station (Selworthy Road, 39827) that was located approximately 300m upstream of
the current site and which was operational 1961-71. Removed from peak flows
dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP Files v6). | Algal growth causes apparent
higher flow than d/s site at Catford Hill (39056). Rating is derived
theoretically for the structure and assumes no drowning or by-passing. Spot
gaugings support the lower end of the rating but the maximum gauged flow is
substantially below QMED. A 2009 modelling study confirmed the theoretical
rating and found that the station doesn't drown and that all flow is contained
within the structure to flows beyond QMED, so the rating curve is considered
valid to above QMED. The rating history of the site is complex and has required
flows to be reprocessed in the past. This has resulted from changes in
measurement units and errors in rating derivation, rather than changes to the
station control, however, and the current rating (FQ/migrated.V1) is considered
definitive for the whole period of record in the absence of spot flow gaugings
at higher stages. | Daily flows reprocessed from Jan 1985. Some earlier
daily flow data (1961-71) exist for an u/s site - Selworthy Road (39827). |
The Pool River rises as Chalk springs (below Addington Hill) but flows
mostly over impervious Eocene deposits. Land use: primarily a suburban/urban
catchment in south London. | Runoff is reduced by groundwater abstractions
and artificial influences evident at low flows. |

The gauging station is located in the upper section of Letcombe Brook, just
downstream of Letcombe Brook at Arabellas Lake (39112). | Flat V weir
(3.0m wide) superseded original rectangular notch (1.0 m wide) in 1981. |
| Gw augmentation noticeable (eg. 2004). | Rural catchment on
scarp slope of the Lambourn Downs (Chalk - Drift free except for peat on the
highest hills in the south). Catchment area derived from a Digital Terrain
Model. | Baseflow dominated regime. Runoff suggests that the topographic
catchment is considerably smaller than the actual contributing area. Flows
substantially reduced by pumping from the Childrey Warren boreholes (gw
pumping). This can impact substantially on low flow patterns. The ALF scheme was
implemented in 1992. |

Headwater gauging station, based in a chalk catchment, that flows into the
middle sections of the River Thames. | Flat V weir (width: 2m) installed
in 1980 superseding (after 4-yr break) and built on top of a thin-plate weir
(width: 1.524m). Significant pre-1950 artificial channel re-alignment in
Ewelme. | Water level measured by radar sensor with pressure sensor for
backup. Originally, a shaft encoder was used. Very long weir tail does not cause
drowning as critical flow is achieved. Limited head - algal growth on crest can
be a problem - flow is assumed (but not confirmed) to remain modular. Tail level
is not measured. Gravel from river bed can build up on apron. Weeds (water
crowfoot) can build up on apron when they are cut and not removed from the
upstream channel. | Missing data from June 1976 to April 1980 due to weir
replacement works. 2000/01 daily flows outstanding. | A rural/agricultural
catchment developed on the scarp-slope of the Chilterns (Chalk with some Drift
cover). Ewelme village is the largest settlement. Groundwater catchment is
smaller than the topographical catchment. | Natural, stable flow regime
(but local surface runoff can produce sub-daily events). Occasional bypassing
via informal sluice upstream. Pristine chalk stream, gravel bed (but largely
impermeable in some reaches). Cress beds downstream can impact flows through
action of sluices (e.g. summer 2018). Upstream in-channel weed growth and
clearance can impact flows. |

Crump weir (15.0m broad) superseded original mill weir (velocity-area rated)
in 1978. | Crump weir with side channel for old mill, which rejoins the
main river downstream. | Crump weir is modular to structurefull. All but
very high flows contained. British standard weir calculation with tail
correction. | No flow data 03/76-01/78. | Impervious (mostly Weald
Clay) catchment. Mixed land use with considerable urban/suburban
development. | Significant net import of water (sewage effluent). |

Rectangular flume, levels respond quickly to rainfall. | Rectangular
flume, 7.1m wide at throat, and 1.48m wide rectangular side sluice. Removed from
peak flows dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP Files v6). | Flow bypasses the
weir above 2.4m head (30 m3/s). Considerable flow in the road at levels
approaching 3 m. Calibration based on current meter gaugings which extend beyond
bankfull. Bypassing occurs at flows >30m3s-1; flows therefore uncertain in
the highest range. One rating applied across period of record. Calibration based
on current meter gaugings which extend beyond bankfull; rating overestimates
flow beyond bankfull and is increasingly uncertain above 2.4m stage. |
Patchy record in the 1970's. | A largely impervious catchment (mostly
Weald Clay)but more permeable headwaters. Very mixed land use of rural tracts
and urban centres; Crawley and Gatwick Airport are in the catchment. |
Responsive regime (reflecting growing urban contribution) and substantial
effluent component (STWs at Crawley, Horley and Burstow) with a significant net
import which has increasing over time (runoff therefore unrepresentative);
otherwise moderate impact of artificial influences. Urban extent almost doubled
between 1960 and 2002. Levels respond quickly to rainfall. |

Flat-V weir. It is the nearest gauging station to the source of the
Thames. | Upgraded to full-width Flat V in 2002, full range capability.
Previously, a Flat V weir (4.0 metres broad, 1:10 cross-slope) with thin-plate
overfalls. It is not considered a primary station. | Pre-2002 weir was
very prone to drowning. Current weir is slightly prone to drowning. |
Pre-2002 data removed from NRFA as it was very prone to drowning, resulting
in incomplete high flow record. | A small rural Cotswolds catchment
developed on permeable Middle Jurassic formations (mostly Upper Oolite). |
Zero discharge during extended droughts. Gw abstractions in catchment result
in a small net export of water. Flows can be affected by weed growth. Flows can
go slightly out-of-bank. |

Multi-path ultrasonic gauging station based in the lower River Thames
catchment. | Multi-path US superseded, in 1988, original single-path
configuration (installed 1978). | Post-1992 gaps filled by using
equi-percentile flows with Reading (39130) as a surrogate, earlier gaps filled
using Kingston (39001) naturalised flows as a surrogate. Calibration confirmed
by gaugings. | All but exceptional floods contained. 01/2003 peak: c405
cumecs. | Scarp and vale topography developed on diverse geology.
Predominantly rural headwaters contrast with considerable suburban growth in the
lower valley. Representative of large lowland catchments in England. |
Baseflow from the Chalk and Oolitic L'st, quicker response from the Oxford
Clay and Lower London Tertiaries. Station is u/s of the major PWS off-takes for
London. |

The gauging station is located in the middle section of the River Churn just
above Cirencester, in the western Thames Basin. | Flat V weir (1:10
cross-slope, 4.5m broad). Auxiliary d/s water level recorder. | |
All flows contained but bypassing can occur at very high flows (as in late
2000); hydrographs appear truncated. Zero flows occur during notable
droughts. | Pervious (Oolitic L'st) catchment on the dip-slope of the
Cotswolds. Primarily rural with small, scattered settlements. |
Baseflow-dominated regime. Significant diminution of runoff due to
groundwater and surface water abstractions. |

The station is located in the upper River Thames catchment on Ampney
Brook. | Flat V weir (1:10 cross-slope, 4.5m broad). Often drowned. |
Calibration under review - gaugings indicate that the drowned flow reduction
factor (based on tailwater levels) over-compensates for non-modularity. Limited
head at low flows, therefore insensitive. | | The Ampney Brook
rises in the pervious Great Oolite series but the lower catchment is principally
Oxford Clay. A rural catchment. | Some bypassing at highest flows. Small
diminution of flow due to abstraction, otherwise a naturally responding
catchment. |

The ultrasonic gauging station is located in the middle reaches of the River
Windrush. | Multi-path ultrasonic commissioned in December, 1995.
Previously two adjustable radial gate (sharp-crested) weirs. | It is
principally a low flow station. Flood flows are commonly not calculated. |
Some early flow data (from 1942) held by the measuring authority for the
original rhymer weir. There is also a very patchy record pre-1977. Drowning is
very rare but high flows are unreliable. | A pervious (Oolitic L'st)
catchment (with some low-permeability tracts) on the dip-slope of the Cotswolds.
Predominantly rural - Witney is the largest settlement. | Large baseflow
component but responsive to storm events. Negligible disturbance to the natural
flow regime. |

The gauging station is located on the River Wey near Farnham. |
Modified Crump weir (width: 9.14m) with thin-plate along the crest
line. | Calibration is theoretically and is based on a few confirmatory
gaugings. Non-modular at high flows - also possible bypassing via culvert
immediately u/s. | August 1997 dmfs estimated. | A mainly Chalk
catchment with Gault Clay in the lower reaches. Predominantly rural, some urban
development on the watershed and close to the station. | High baseflow
component but very responsive to rainfall. Runoff considerably diminished by gw
abstractions in the headwaters. |

The ultrasonic gauging station monitors the complete River Wey system. |
A multi-path cross-configuration ultrasonic replaced a single-path US
(Harwell design) in 2003. | Gaugings were used to develop adjustment
factors. Weed-growth, low velocities and velocity distribution caused
problems. | No data between January 2019 and July 2020 due to gauge
failure. | Diverse geology and land use. Largely permeable upper catchment
(Chalk and Upper Greensand of the North Downs); impermeable Tertiary formations
dominate the lower catchment. Land use: rural tracts with mixed woodland;
considerable suburban development below the headwaters. | U/s storage
produces some flood attenuation. Responsive regime. The confluence with canal is
just u/s. |

It is the main flow measuring structure on the River Ock, just upstream of
another peak flow station within Abingdon (39018) that it superseded. |
Crump weir, 7.79m wide, with auxiliary d/s tapping. Superseded original
compound structure in 1979 (with associated gaps in the record). Due for fish
passage baffles FY 2019-20. | Substantial channel improvements but
drowning became more frequent again. Standard Crump weir calculation using tail
levels. Part of the weir is subject to non-modular flow conditions (0.5m), as
the channel splits into a high and low level channel on the d/s side of the
weir. Inaccurate at low flows, but otherwise reasonably accurate. Slight
overestimation could result in anomalies at higher flows. A flood forecasting
rating is available which estimates total flows including those on the flood
plain. Sandford Brook flows into the side channel just downstream of the
structure (piped from left bank under the channel). | Although
hydrometrically much improved it is still imprecise at low flows. Substantial
channel improvements were completed but the weir drowns during floods and
overspill can occur into Sandford Brook. This was more common pre-1979. There
are doubts about the homogeneity of peak flows. No flow adjustment made. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Flat, rural valley in
Vale of The White Horse. Largely flat, rural valley in Vale of The White Horse.
Mixed geology that is largely pervious. Chalk downland forms southern watershed
while the remainder mostly Tertiary clays. Geology includes Corallian Beds,
Greensand, Chalk, Kimmeridge Clay, Gault & Alluvium. Contributing area
exceeds topographical catchment. | Runoff influenced by a significant
number gw abstraction/recharge. Runoff augmented by sewage effluent (derived
from outside catchment). |

The station is located in the upper Brent Catchment, North London. |
Rectangular thin-plate weir with rectangular notch. | Limited number
of check gaugings, highest at 4.1 cumecs; they suggest that calibration modestly

Crump weir gauging a mainly impervious catchment which responds quickly to
rainfall. | Crump weir (4.6m broad) with crest-tapping (almost permanently
blocked but weir remains modular except during exceptional floods); located at
the end of a culvert. Superseded earlier u/s velocity-area station,
1952-1977. | Modular apart from exceptional discharges. One rating applied
across period of record. Rating uses a modelled rating that accounts for
drowning over the full period of record. | Weir records begin in 1975.
Rating adjusted in 1990 to include drowned flow, and back-dated over record.
Records also exist from 1952-1977 for a rated section at a site 2 km u/s
(station 39024); accuracy at this site was poor. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Mixed
geology but mainly impervious (Weald Clay). Mixed land use with significant
urban and forested areas. Catchment does not include Gatwick Airport. |
Very responsive to rainfall and flow pattern affected by sewage effluent and
urban runoff; large net import to the catchment. Urban extent more than doubled
between 1960-2002. |

A ultrasonic gauging station located on the River Ray, in the upper Thames
catchment. | Multi-path US superseded (in 1989) a Crump weir (width:
5.195m) with crest and d/s recorders. | | Thames backwater caused
frequent drowning and high submergence ratios thus flood data are of limited
precision. | The Ray rises in the Marlborough Downs and drains a
relatively flat, mainly impervious, catchment. Largely agricultural land use but
very substantial and growing urban component (Swindon). | Responsive
regime. Flows heavily influenced by Swindon runoff (sewage effluent, balancing
ponds etc.). A net import of water results. |

The station is located in the lower catchment of the River Chess. | A
crump weir (6.0m broad) with d/s recorder for non-modularity adjustment. Used
for both water resource and flood warning/forecasting purposes. | Full
range station but non-modular at high flows (tail levels monitored). A very
small channel that is fed from a spring approximately 150m upstream, bypasses
the weir and enters the river just downstream. The modular limit is c 0.23m.
Extremely non-modular flows can occur but instances are rare. Protected flows
derived from standard Crump weir equation using tail levels. Weir equation used
since construction. | Generally a very reliable record throughout the
range of flows. Periods of extremely non-modular flows in Feb 2001. Tail level
adjustments used but surrounding data suggests the reduction factor has
underestimated the true flow. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | The Chess is a Chalk stream
draining the dip-slope of the Chilterns (significant Drift cover). Headwaters
are rural with significant urban growth in the lower valley. Chesham is the
largest town. | Baseflow-dominated flow regime but artificial influences
(primarily STW effluent) evident on the hydrograph. Abstractions are of a mainly
low consumptive type with some gw abstractions for PWS. There is a small net
export from the catchment. |

The station is located in the upper catchment of the River Gade, a tributary
of the River Colne. | Rectangular flume with side contractions installed
by Hemel Hempstead Development Corporation in the mid 1960s. The station was
operated by the local authority until the mid 1970s when its operation passed to
Thames Water. | A leak in the stilling well was discovered in 1990. The
original instrumentation was a Lea Integrating recorder and early records were
of poor quality. Vandalism and debris in channel can create problems. One rating
applied across period of record. Rating has tendency to underestimate peak
flows. | There is a trash screen just u/s of the g/s. Historically the
screen and/or channel can become blocked causing the river to flow out of banks,
flooding Gade Park and bypassing the station. Excess flows d/s of the g/s divert
into a culvert that emerges d/s of Hemel Hempstead. | Dip-slope stream
draining the Chilterns. The solid geology is Chalk with some tertiary and
extensive boulder clay cover. A mainly rural catchment draining to Hemel
Hempstead (part of which is u/s of the station). | Baseflow-dominated
regime with significant artificial disturbance. The urban response runoff has a
significant effect on flood peaks. Balancing ponds u/s within built-up
area. |

The station, located in the lower River Cole catchment, forms part of the
structure that splits the channel into two distributaries that flow into the
River Thames. | Compound Crump Weir (high central crest). | The
channel divides immediately below the weir, so levels in the left channel are
higher than in the right channel. Part of the structure (left-hand side) is
subject to non-modular conditions due to the differing levels in the weirs and
this can cause significant data processing problems. Drowning, due to weed
growth in summer, is likely. Standard Crump weir equation (summation of 3
crests) using tail levels. Tail reduction is employed in the left hand weir.
Seems to estimate flows well. | Peak flows, calculated before the current
methods of calculation (pre-1992), may be too low as the whole weir was assumed
to be drowned. D/s correction only applied to part of the structure, so some
overestimation at extreme flows. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Chalk scarp headwaters
but catchment is largely low-lying and impervious (clay). A mainly rural
catchment with urban growth below the headwaters. The rapid development of
eastern Swindon has been a recent major change. Storage ponds are also a
catchment feature near Swindon. | Responsive regime with some baseflow
from the Chalk. Runoff is influenced by gw abstraction/recharge. |

The station is located in the upper reaches of the River Misbourne. |
Informal broad-crested control - secondary station, superseded in 1984 by
the new Denham Lodge station d/s. | | | The Misbourne is a
dip-slope stream draining from the Chilterns - Chalk with a little Drift cover.
Significant residential development in the valley but a largely rural (Green
Belt) catchment given over to agriculture with scattered tracts of coniferous
and mixed woodland. | Complex baseflow dominated regime (the Misbourne has
a number of influent reaches). Substantial gw abstraction (especially for
Aylesbury and Amersham) - historical decline in Misbourne flows. |

Station is located on Dollis Brook, within the upper catchment of the River
Brent. The station was closed on the 13/05/2014 due to major siltation issues
affecting flow measurements. | Flat V weir has replaced a compound
broad-crested weir with rectangular thin-plate inset. Removed from peak flows
dataset in May 2016 (WINFAP Files v4). | It suffers from a lack of
confirmatory gaugings and severe siltation (both u/s and of the stilling well)
though this is occasionally moderated by flushing via a sluice below weir. This
can seriously affect hydrometric performance e.g. summer 2007. Unlikely to drown
as there is a 2m drop over weir. Accumulation point for urban debris (trolleys,
tyres, etc), especially in the u/s channel. Protected flows derived from
standard flat V weir equation. Modular throughout the flow range. Poor fit to
gaugings which precede rebuild in 1994. Lack of gaugings since the station was
rebuilt in 1994. In April 2010, major de-silting works took place which restored
operation for a time, however the scale and cost of ongoing maintenance was
prohibitive to keeping the station operable. | Some anomalous low flows
(e.g. March 1997). Time series should be used with caution. | Catchment in
north-west of London that contain the suburbs of Barnet and Hendon. There are
significant rural tracts in the western headwaters. the geology is entirely
London Clay of Eocene age. It is largely Drift free. | Very responsive
regime. |

The station is located in North-West London on the River Brent, below
Wealdstone Brook confluence and the Brent Reservoir. | Critical depth
flume (rectangular) in a concrete channel, d/s of Brent Reservoir (informally
called the Welsh Harp Reservoir). | One rating applied across period of
record. The weir is insensitive at low flows. There are discrepancies between
the rating and low flow gaugings. However at stages higher than 0.25m the rating
is much more reliable. | Peak flow data before water-year 1978/1979 has
not been re-calculated using rating New1 as there is no stage data available.
These events are calculated through the old rating. New rating gave minimal
change to flow magnitude across the flow range so flows pre-1978 are still
usable. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A largely urban/suburban catchment in
North-West London. | Responsive regime with very artificial low flow
pattern (Welsh Harp reservoir is u/s). |

The station is located in the lower catchment of the River Crane, just above
the confluence with the River Thames in London. | Rectangular critical
depth flume (insensitive) in a straight concrete channel. Capacity approx. 30
cumecs; yet to be exceeded. | Theoretical rating; modular limit to be
determined. | | Very flat catchment. The drainage network is
difficult to delineate. Mainly urban; catchment contains Heathrow Airport and
several pumped storage reservoirs (abstracting from Thames). | Substantial
artificial influence on flow pattern - evident at low flows: sewage effluent,
automatic weir u/s diverts flow into the Duke's River (may result in negligible
flows), considerable area of gravel workings. Some natural runoff gain from the
River Colne catchment (but unlikely to compensate for the u/s diversion). |

A critical depth flume. Very responsive regime. | A critical depth
flume (width: 4m, wing wall height: 2m) in a concrete channel. Removed from peak
flows dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP Files v6). Station closed. | The
flume was constructed in 1961 and calibrated theoretically - the low flow rating
has since been revised on the basis of c/m gauging results; more gauging
required to confirm the high flow rating). Modular range uncertain. One peak
flow rating applied across period of record. Current rating derived by hydraulic
modelling. Good fit to gaugings although none at high flows. More current meter
readings needed from 0.4m to bankfull at 2m. | The structure was
overwhelmed by the 1968 flood but sensibly full range otherwise. The September
1968 flood estimated at about 15 cumecs - bypassed the station, and exceeded the
range of the recorder. Until June 1978, flows read from chart (rather than
stage) - stages derived from rating applied, or GLC data where available. |
The catchment is a mixture of urban and suburban development. | Very
responsive regime. |

North-West London station located in the urbanised middle reaches of the
River Brent. | Flat V profile weir in a culvert (below Olympic Way
Wembley). Following modifications to the structure in 1978, it was refurbished
but the crest is sub-standard. | Not originally designed as a measurement
structure but as a method of hydraulically reducing the head to allow free
conveyance under the culverts supporting beams. The station was reviewed in
2010. A discharge point, that entered the channel immediately d/s of the weir,
compromised gaugings. Approach conditions not ideal in high flow. One rating
applied across period of record. The structure is non-standard and a few
gaugings suggest that the theoretical rating may not be applicable especially in
peak flow range. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A largely impervious
urban/suburban catchment in West London. | Responsive regime. |

Gauging station located on the main River Thames channel in the upper
catchment that was closed in 1998. | Complex weir - radial gates and
overfall weirs - embracing two channels. Two u/s and two d/s head
recorders. | All but highest flows contained. Calibrated using c/m
measurements. | | Mixed geology; runoff from the Cotswolds (Oolitic
L'st) provides a significant baseflow but the Oxford Clay valley is much more
responsive. Land use: rural/agricultural with settlements concentrated in the
valley where gravel extraction is significant. | Small net export of water
(due to gw abstraction). |

West London flood warning level-only gauging station located on the River
Pinn at Uxbridge. | Initially an EM (overhead coil) in a formalised
trapezoidal section. EM coil removed in 2004 - now a level-only flood warning
site. | Full-range capability but limited number of higher flow gaugings
suggest substantial overestimation in this range. | Multiple 0.01 cumecs
entries are an instrumental artifact. | An impermeable (largely London
Clay) surburban catchment west of London. Headwaters rise in the countryside but
substantial urban development throughout the catchment - including Pinner,
Ruislip and Ickenham. | Very flashy regime. Very limited impact of
artificial influences on the flow pattern, particularly given its suburban
character. |

The station is located within the upper Thames catchment in the headwaters
of Ampney Brook. | Flat V weir, 1:10 cross-slope. | Theoretical
calibration confirmed by gaugings. Drowning unlikely (but d/s stilling well
installed). Full range. | Realistic late-2000 flow pattern (rare amongst
Cotswold stations). | The Ampney Brook is a dip-slope stream draining the
pervious Great Oolite of the Cotswolds. A rural catchment with small, scattered
settlements. The contributing area is greater than the topographical
catchment. | Primarily natural baseflow-dominated regime but gw
abstraction lower down the Churn catchment is likely to have an impact. Station
is located just d/s of a fish farm (now closed). |

The gauging station is located on Swill Brook, in the headwaters of the
River Thames. | Flat V weir installed in 2002 (with US installed more
recently to improve measurement when FV drowned). Superseded unreliable EM. Not
a primary gauging station. | Some bypassing at high flows over 2.2
cumecs. | Early flow record is patchy. Large range of velocities. Zero
flow during most summers and monitoring of the lowest flow rates is
suspect. | Relatively flat, rural catchment given over to agriculture.
Primarily impervious (Oxford Clay). | Essentially natural, responsive,
flow regime but runoff may be influenced by gw pumping from the confined Oolite
aquifer. |

The gauging station is located on the Aldbourne River, a tributary of the
River Kennet, on the site of an old matchstick plantation. Site declared unsafe
due to over mature trees rooted in shallow soil blowing over. Station closed in
2015 and decommissioned in 2017-18, removing barriers to fish movement along an
important tributary of the Kennet SSSi. | Two Flat V weirs - 1:10
cross-slopes (one is located on a bypass stream). | Theoretical
calibration. All flows contained. | Flows 3/8/2000-28/10/2000 modelled by
EA. Stilling well froze in Nov/Dec 2010; late-winter and spring flows under
review. Some flows in Nov and Dec 2011 were estimated due to equipment
failure. | The Aldbourne drains a Chalk downland catchment (very modest
Drift cover). Land use: predominantly agricultural - Aldbourne is the only
significant settlement. | Sensibly natural baseflow-dominated flow
regime. |

The gauging station is located on the lower River Misbourne, close to the
confluence of the River Colne. | Crump weir (crest: 3.5m wide) plus Flat V
(width: 2.0m, 1:10 cross-slope) on small distributary. | High flow range
under review but drowning rare. Bypassed only in exceptional floods. |
| Elongated dip-slope catchment in the Chilterns (Chalk with
appreciable Drift cover). Significant urban growth in valley but catchment is
largely Green Belt - agriculture with scattered tracts of woodland.
Topographical CA confirmed as 94.8 sq.km (Gw catchment estimated at 81
sq.km.). | Baseflow dominated Chalk stream, influent in some reaches (e.g.
near the Chalfonts). Runoff substantially diminished by PWS abstractions;
partially counteracted by alleviation of low flow scheme from 1992. |

Cross-correlation gauge located in Newbury, in the middle reaches of the
River Kennet. | From December 2019 onwards, a cross-correlation gauge.
From November 2016 onwards a side-looking ADCP gauge. Pre-November 2016, an
ultrasonic with six pairs of transducers in cross-path configuration. |
Full range, but relatively high velocities. | No data held for period
of side looker installation (November 2016 - December 2019). | Principally
a Chalk catchment but small tracts of low permeability above the station. Mainly
rural (arable and mixed farming) with some urban growth concentrated along the
valley. | Sensibly natural baseflow dominated flow regime but possible
small impact of WBGS during drought conditions. |

Ultrasonic gauging station situation on Mole Flood Aleviation Scheme. Gates
upstream and downstream of the section. | New ultrasonic, full range
capability and improved reliability. Replaced earlier US just u/s (in a reach
created as part of the Mole Flood alleviation Scheme); debris and siltation
(blocking transducers) and high temperature gradients caused substantial
malfunction particularly at low flows. New gauge is prone to weed in channel,
which can cause issues at low flows. Station added to peak flows dataset in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Flow and levels are affected by
downstream Island Barn Weir and upstream Viaduct Sluice. Both are operated as
part of the Lower Mole Flood Aleviation Scheme in high flows. | Several
drop outs in record including December 2016 due to level being dropped
downstream to perform channel maintenance work. WY1998/1999 rejected because it
is a partial first year of the record, and WY2009/2010 rejected as AMAX likely
occured during period of fault with the gauge - GDF infilled. | A largely
impervious catchment divided by the W-E trending ridge of the North Downs (Chalk
and Upper Greensand). Diverse land use - rural tracts and considerable suburban
development. | Responsive regime. Some sewage effluent derives from
outside the catchment. |

Located on the River Thame at Wheatley the ultrasonic gauging station
superseded the upstream station at Shabbington (39038). | Multi-path US
(cross- configuration). | Full range, railway embankment ensures no
bypassing. Skewed flow, weed-growth and summer temperature gradients can limit
accuracy particularly at low flows (e.g. early autumn 2009). |
Approximately 80 cumecs gauged in 01/2003. Flows in August 2017 affected by
weed growth. Missing data in December 2019 due to station upgrade works. |
The Thame drains a typical clay (principally Oxford Clay, some Greensand
also) vale NW of the Chiltern escarpment. Land use is largely agricultural
(considerable grassland) while the urban areas within the catchment include the
town is Aylesbury. | Some spring flow contribution but responsive regime.
Net import of water; sewage effluent is a significant component of low
flows. |

Ultrasonic station gauging a mixed land use catchment. | Currently
ultrasonic, replacing an electromagnetic gauge in 2009. | | Gap and
some flow truncation in the time series between 1996 and 2009. | A
predominantly impervious (Weald Clay) catchment which drains through the Box
Hill gap in the North Downs (Chalk and Upper Greensand). Diverse land use. |
Some sewage effluent derives from outside the catchment; Gw abstraction from
the Chalk headwaters also. |

Rectangular flume; stage-discharge relation confirmed by c/m gaugings. |
Rectangular flume; Modular. Overfall u/s. Frequently vandalised. Station
downgraded in 2010 to level only. | Grounding of float (stilling well
floor corresponds to throat level of flume) can affect low flow accuracy. Debris
on u/s grill can influence levels. | Patchy flow record. | A largely
suburban catchment developed mostly on Chalk (dip-slope of North Downs). Mean
runoff suggests that topographical catchment greatly exceeds the contributing
area. | |

Gauging station located in the ephemeral stretch of the River Pang. |
Flat V weir. | Floods exceed bankfull and weed growth causes
occasional drowning (flows adjusted but high submergence ratios limit accuracy).
Monitors progress of ALF programme (headwater abstractions - currently much
diminished - having substantially reduced runoff in the past). | |
A largely permeable (Chalk with modest Drift cover) rural catchment; mostly
arable and pasture with significant woodland on the Tertiary outcrops (in the
south). | Baseflow dominated regime; effluent can form a significant
component of low flows. |

Gauging station located in the mid reaches of the River Pang. | Flat V
weir. | All flows contained but weed growth causes drowning. Monitors
progress of ALF programme (headwater abstractions substantially reduced runoff
but abstractions have been greatly reduced since 1992). | Flows adjusted
(due to weed growth) but high submergence ratios limit accuracy (e.g. May/June
1995 when flows unreliable). | A very rural and largely permeable (Chalk
with modest Drift cover)) catchment with significant areas of woodland on the
Tertiary outcrops. | Flows affected by STW effluent and, rarely, by West

Gauging station located on Sulham Brook, a small tributary of the main River
Thames. | Flat V weir. U/s and d/s levels monitored. | Modest d/s
gradient and limited channel capacity/siltation cause the structure to drown for
substantial periods. Silt build-up regularly caused by cows wading upstream of
the weir. Both factors affect flow calculation. | | A very rural
catchment developed mostly on Chalk (with substantial Drift cover); some
woodland on the Tertiary outcrops. | Relatively responsive regime.
Topographical catchment is substantially less than the true contributing area;
runoff (which is reduced by gw abstraction) is therefore unrepresentative - in
wet years runoff can greatly exceed rainfall. Levels/flows affected by STW until
the mid-1990s (when effluent diverted). |

Ultrasonic gauging station located on the main channel of the River
Thames. | Multi-path, cross configuration US. | Gaugings confirm
calibration. In hot weather the gauge can malfunction (due to temperature
gradients in the measuring section). | No routine naturalisation -
therefore d/s Kingston (39001) series is more hydrologically
representative). | Scarp and vale topography developed on diverse geology.

Gauging station located on Cranleigh Waters, a tributary that flows into the
River Wey, south of the town of Guilford. | Multi-path cross-configuration
ultrasonic gauging station beneath road bridge. | Enlarged bridge opening
creates large capacity but, correspondingly, low velocities; these can impact on
low flow precision. Full range station. | Notable Nov. 2000 peak under
review. | Predominantly impervious Weald Clay with some Lower Greensand in
lower reaches. A largely rural catchment (south of Guildford) centred on
Cranleigh. | Flashy response with lengthy periods of very low flow. Low
flows influenced by effluent returns. Station is used for flood monitoring
purposes. |

Side-look Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) gauge located on the
River Blackwater at Farnborough. | Currently side-look ADCP. Side-look US
installed in February 2009. This replaced the decommissioned EM. The EM had been
installed as part of a R&D project into flow within two stage channels. |
Calibration to be completed. Gaugings indicate that EM flows are
overestimated in the low and medium range. | September 1997 and 1998 flows
particularly suspect but all flows should be treated with caution. |
Tertiary geology - mainly Bagshot Beds with London Clay in the headwaters
and alluvium in the valley. Substantial and expanding urban development
including Farnborough and Aldershot but large rural tracts remain; significant
areas of heathland and woodland. | Flows managed by STW, supplemented in
summer. Siltation occurs. |

Gauging station located in the headwaters of the River Misbourne. |
Rectangular thin-plate weir with flanking Crump crests. | Theoretical
rating supported by gaugings (more scheduled to confirm calibration). Screen u/s
of weir requires regular maintenance. | Very rare, and minor, bypassing
during extreme flood conditions (e.g. Feb. 2001). Instrumentation difficulties
over the 12/2006 - 5/2007 period, data under review. | A mostly rural
catchment on the dip-slope of the Chilterns (Chalk); some development in the
lower catchment. | The Misbourne is a Chalk stream; ephemeral, and
influent in some reaches. Heavy (but declining) gw pumping in the headwaters has
reduced base flows (the Misbourne is included in the EA Low Flow Alleviation
Programme). |

Ultrasonic station with patchy early record. | Cross-path
time-of-flight ultrasonic station installed in 2012/13. After becoming
ultrasonic, a bund was added to promote head level at low flows. Prior to
ultrasonic, this was a velocity area station - low level sharp-crested weir
(rather insensitive with poor approach conditions). | Control passes to
road bridge at medium/high flows. Some confirmatory gaugings up to approx. 10
cumecs. Possible bypassing into R. Wey system (via canal) at very high flows.
Rating change in Oct 1993 (earlier data may need reprocessing). | Patchy
early record (when no back-up recorder). | The geology is largely
impermeable Bagshot Beds. Very mixed land use with woodland and heath plus
significant urban development. | Responsive regime. |

Flat V weir (1:10 cross slope) with vertical wing walls. Very responsive
flow regime. | Flat V weir (1:10 cross slope) with vertical wing walls.
Straight approach with no significant modification to flow regime. Original
structure built in 1962 as a critical depth flume. The structure was rebuilt in
1992. | Full range station, which has been theoretically rated (standard
Flat V weir calculation). Higher gaugings show the structure appears to
over-estimate higher flows. More gaugings are needed, but due to responsive
regime it is difficult to capture high flow gaugings. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | The Ravensbourne rises from springs fed by Tertiary Sandstones (in
Holwood Park). The majority of the lower catchment is mainly impervious, due to
Eocene clay deposits and high levels of urban development (South London). |
Very responsive flow regime. |

Gauging station, employing ADCP devices, located in the lower stages of the
River Loddon just above the confluence with the River Thames. | Two
side-looking ADCP devices, installed since 2010, located within two rectangular
road bridge culverts. Previously, data was supplied by a multi-path US (cross
configuration) located 200m d/s on a gently curving reach spanning the total
length of the lower stages of the river. | Full range. MAF easily
contained. Significant weed growth in summer. Large step in middle of channel
leads to two levels of water. | Ultrasonics affected by power supply and
instrumentation problems (e.g. siltation caused difficulties with the lowest of
the six flight paths) causing some record gaps. No flows recorded 2006-2010 due
to removal of ultrasonic equipment, installation of ADCPs and development of
index velocity rating. | Mixed geology and land use. Chalk headwaters,
mainly London Clay below. Large rural tracts but substantial urban development,
in the eastern catchment particularly. | U/s spillage (floodplain storage
rather than bypassing) begins around 60 cumecs. |

Earliest extant gauging station in the UK. It provides a unique insight into
spring flow variability in the 19th century. | Thin-plate weir (0.91m
wide) monitoring outflow from the Wendover Springs (into the Wendover Arm of the
Grand Union Canal). | The station was commissioned in the 1962, processed
flows from 1989 (microfilmed level charts for pre-1989 period). Complemented by
historical monthly series 1841-1897; method of flow measurement uncertain but
runoff patterns consistent with rainfall. Algal/weed growth on and u/s of the
crest can affect levels - overestimating runoff. | | The Wendover
Springs issue from the scarp slope of the Chilterns - Chalk (with a limited
amount of Drift cover). Land use is mostly woodland and pasture but significant
urban growth occurs near the gauging station. | |

Combined flow series from two separate stations Teston (low flows) and East
Farleigh (high flows). Gauges a mixed geology catchment with complex water
utilisation. | Combination of low flows from Teston (Fish Pass and Crump
Weir) and flows > 17 cumecs from East Farleigh (velocity-area station) 2km
downstream. | The river is canalised from the tidal sluices near Maidstone
to Tonbridge and there are several controls both automatic and manually
operated. Site is subject to some tidal influence under certain conditions, and
vegetation can cause gauging problems. Rating developed using gaugings with
hydraulic model beyond gauged range. Confidence in extrapolation to
bankfull. | Combination of flows from Teston and East Farleigh may not be
complete on National River Flow Archive. Peak flows given are exclusively from
East Farleigh data. Patchy daily flow record 1966-1973. Pre-1970, errors in data
caused by leakage and blockage of sluices - this was later dealt with through
reconstruction. Naturalised flows available. No POTs shown after water year
2011-12. | Main tributaries upstream include the Rivers Eden, Bourne,
Teise & Beult. Mixed geology comprising Hastings Beds, Weald Clay &
Lower Greensand. The Hastings Beds are composed of Sandstones, Siltstones &
Clays. Impervious formations constitute up to half of the catchment. Diverse
land use; predominantly rural with significant areas of woodland and orchard;
several substantial towns also (including East Grinstead, Forest Row,
Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells). | Locally important aquifers feed
springs which provide the baseflow for the headwaters of the tributaries of the
Medway, but a responsive regime. Complex water utilisation with significant
artificial disturbance. Three public water supply reservoirs exist in the Medway
catchment upstream of the gauging station: Weir Wood Reservoir on the Upper
Medway, Bough Beech Reservoir on a tributary of the Eden, Bewl Water Reservoir
on the River Bewl, a tributary of the River Teise. These reservoirs affect the
runoff within the catchment, occupying 0.5% of the total catchment area. Runoff
is also affected by groundwater abstraction and/or recharge, regulation and by
industrial abstraction. Radial flood gates at Yalding can alter flow frequently.
Leigh Barrier (22.16km upstream of Teston) constructed 1981, consists of a flood
storage reservoir capable of retaining up to 5.58 million cubic metres of water
and is the largest 'on line' flood storage reservoir of its kind in the UK. |

control for low stages that was insensitive at low flows. Deformation of crest
was suspected and station rebuilt as a new flat-V weir with cableway in July
1992. Previously a broad-crested weir (1961-1992) and velocity-area section
(pre-1961) (274m d/s of road bridge) and a flume at Robertsbridge pumping
station (for flows below 1.54 m3/s, some turbulence was experienced at lower
flows). | Section consists of a narrow, well-defined channel with rock bed
and good fall. Flows confined except in extreme floods when station is bypassed.
Weir is non-modular above 0.6 m, and drowns early (due to downstream tidal
sluice). Ultrasonics were installed in 2012 to calculate flows above the
non-modular limit. Flood embankment constructed to encapsulate higher flows up
to 1.54 m3/s. Stage-discharge relationship affected by downstream conditions
following high flows. Difficult to produce fixed rating due to backwater effects
and land drainage works. | Revised and alternating ratings Historic_Summer
and Historic_Winter have been applied between 1992 and 2012. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Catchment developed on sands and clays of the Wealden Series -
impervious types predominate. Includes mostly Weald Clay and Upper and Lower
Tunbridge Wells Sand, with the remainder made up of Upper Greensand, Ashdown
Sand, Folkestone Beds, Sandgate Beds, Hythe Beds, and Atherfield, Grinstead,
Gault and Wadhurst Clays. Resulting in a responsive flow regime in a small
baseflow supported from the Upper Greensand. Predominantly rural catchment with
scattered settlements including Edenbridge, Godstone, Lingfield and East
Grinstead (which occupy approx. 3% of the total catchment area). With a
catchment area u/s of Penshurst of 224km2,, with Penshurst G/S only 2.8km U/S of
the confluence with the River Medway. | Large areas of on-field storage
exist during flood events, floodplain is approx. 400m wide at the gauge site.
Offtake for Bough Beech Reservoir is upstream - occupying less than 1 per cent
of the total catchment area, it causes a small net export of water but does not
operate during summer periods. Some slight regulation by Hever Castle Lake 3.2km
upstream. Leigh Flood Barrier, constructed 1981, d/s can cause some hysteresis
at the gauge. Consists of a flood storage reservoir capable of retaining up to
5.58 million cubic metres of water and is the largest on line flood storage
reservoir of its kind in the UK. Vexour Bridge is one of the main flood warning
stations used for input to the Leigh Barrier. Possible change in channel
dimensions over time. Large areas of on-field storage exist during flood events
(floodplain is approx. 400m wide at the gauge site). |

Flat-V weir with high flow rating. Ultrasonics used to validate high flow
rating. Predominantly clay catchment on the largest tributary of the
Medway. | Flat V-weir with high flow rating and single-path ultrasonics
installed to help validate high flows. The station is located on a long and
reasonably straight reach of the River Beult approx. 110m downstream of the
Stile bridge, 12 km upstream of the Medway confluence. Constructed in 2001 to
replace existing weir ~30m d/s, a compound broad-crested structure, with the
central flume separated by short divide piers (which could trap debris) from the
broad-crested flanking sections. The ends of the dividing walls caused
disturbance of flow, although modelling showed a negligible overall impact.
Regarded as full range aside from largest exceptional events. | Flat V
weir is primary flow calculation. Flood banks confine flows, the floodplain
beyond this is approx. 300-400m wide and water now seeps through into adjacent
field due to rabbit burrowing. Out-of-bank flows can be significant but are
accounted for in the rating. Stepping boards in place on upstream bridge in
summer to maintain levels; their insertion and removal is managed separately so
the time of adjustment of levels in unknown. But they are far enough upstream to
not affect the gauge. Heavy upstream weed growth causes issues with lower
ultrasonic paths during summer months. Regular maintenance required but
difficult due to depth of channel. Upper ultrasonic paths function well despite
this meaning that portion of flow calculated through this method is reliable.
The Medway may control the levels in severe floods. Station calibrated by model
tests and cableway gaugings (79 cumecs gauged during Oct 2000 flood), though
cableway no longer in place. | Peak flow data pre-2001 are from the weir
site. Post-2001 are from weir and ultrasonics. Drop out in daily flows in April
2015 confirmed by the EA, pattern also seen at upstream station. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | The Beult forms the largest tributary of the River Medway. Weald
clay accounts for 78% of the catchment. Base flow is very low for a Kent
catchment. Very little natural storage exists causing a flashy runoff regime.
Some spring flow is received from Lower Greensand outcrop along northern margin
(6% of the catchment) and also from Hastings Beds (consisting of Tunbridge Wells
Sands, Wadhurst Clay & Ashdown Sands) which outcrop in the south (16% of the
catchment). Predominantly rural with scattered settlements, total urban coverage
<1% of total catchment area. | Small overall impact of artificial
influences - all abstraction is agricultural (and therefore very variable).
Runoff increased by effluent returns. Some upstream temporary summer weirs and
sluices in past. Minor baseflow (from the Lower Greensand) but very responsive
regime. |

Electromagnetic gauge installed July 2002, located in a formalised flume
structure. Flow record often incomplete. Capable of flashy response. |
Electromagnetic gauge installed July 2002, located in a formalised flume
structure, situated on a 0.2 km straight reach of the River Bourne approx 100m
d/s of the A26 bridge at Hadlow. At the end of the measurement reach the river
passes under a farm bridge. Originally a trapezoidal (long throated) critical
depth flume, with stated capacity 8.5m3/s, though drowned at high flows -
variable modular limit and constant dredging needed downstream. Removed from
peak flows dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP Files v6). | EM flume has
significantly bigger cross-section (and thus flow capacity) than previous
trapezoidal (long throated) flume. Long throated flume rating based on hydraulic
calculations. Rated to bankfull and hydraulic modelling beyond. No high-flow or
out-of-bank gaugings to confirm rating. | Flow estimates for both the
original flume and EM gauge are poor, with a step change between the two
records. 1968 peak flow estimated at 57 cumecs on basis of wrack marks. |
A largely baseflow dominated regime, the River Bourne rises on Gault Clay
below the scarp of the North Downs, forming a tributary to the River Medway. The
river flows south cutting through Ragstone Ridge, an outcrop of Lower Greensand,
before entering the Vale of Kent. It is fed by springs from the Lower Greensand
but runoff is predominantly generated from the Weald Clays of the Vale of Kent.
Area of the catchment naturally impervious and pervious (half-and-half),
including Upper, Middle & Lower Chalk, Folkestone Beds, Atherfield Clay,
Gault Clay, Sandgate Beds, Hythe Beds, Weald Clay. A mainly rural catchment,
excluding Borough Green which occupies <1% of the total catchment area.
Remainder is grazing and woodland with a substantial acreage devoted to
orchards. | Capable of flashy response; rapid runoff from the Weald Clay.
Some artificial regulation from a mill half a mile u/s, this effect causes
differences of up to 3 cumecs. Significant spray irrigation. Runoff increased by
effluent returns. Very substantial baseflow contribution but capable of flashy
response. Some artificial regulation from mill upstream. Significant spray
irrigation. Public water supply abstractions from groundwater. |

Combined flow series from two separate stations Chafford (low flows) and
Colliers Land Bridge (high flows). Gauging a mixed geology catchment with
responsive regime despite significant baseflow. | Combination of low flows
from Chafford (humped trapezoidal flume) and high flows from Colliers Land
Bridge (Ultrasonic and velocity-area station). Located ~3km upstream of the
confluence with River Eden at Penshurst and ~9km upstream of the Leigh flood
barrier. | As of Feb-2012 flow measurement methodology at Colliers Land
Bridge has changed significantly. The site is now a full range station with time
ultrasonics used to 3.4m with velocity area method above this. Channel subject
to erosion. In major historical events (1960, 2000) bypassing over Spring Hill
road has covered full width of grass floodplain. | The flows for the 1968
and 2000 events show flat topping, due to the exceedance of the stilling well.
The modelled upper limb of the rating underestimates flows based on the flow
through the Leigh barrier during the 2000 event. Drop outs in daily flow in July
2019 and September confirmed as true by EA - due to sluice movements. No POTs
are shown after water year 2011-12. | The Medway originates as a spring
just above Turners Hill (West Sussex) and flows in a northeasterly direction to
Colliers Land Bridge. Geology is mixed but mainly Ashdown Sands and Wadhurst
Clay. Also Upper Tunbridge Wells Sand, Grinstead clay and Lower Tunbridge Wells
Sands. One-third of the catchment is naturally impervious, two-thirds permeable.
The Medway drains from Ashdown Forest and the catchment is predominantly rural
in character, apart from East Grinstead, Forest Row and Crowborough which occupy
approximately 3% of the catchment area. | Quite a responsive regime
despite significant baseflow - locally important aquifers feed the numerous
springs which provide the baseflow for the headwaters. Catchment includes Weir
Wood Reservoir, which provides compensation flows. Small net export of water.
Sluices upstream can influence levels. Runoff increased by effluent returns.
Leigh Barrier constructed downstream 1981, consists of a flood storage reservoir
capable of retaining up to 5.58 million cubic metres of water & is the
largest 'online' flood storage reservoir of its kind in the UK. Colliers Land
Bridge is used as one of the main flood warning stations for input to the Leigh
Barrier. Bewl Water reservoir constructed in 1975. |

Triangular crump weir (width 7.61m) - drowns at <3 cumecs (no flow
adjustment) and velocity-area station throughout the peak flow range. Weed
growth can cause overestimation of flows. | Triangular crump weir (width
7.61m) - drowns at <3 cumecs (no flow adjustment). Velocity area station
(just downstream) for high flows. The River Stour is wide & shallow at the
gauging station, the floodplain is limited by the railway line. Previously a
broad crested weir (1960-62) which was subject to premature drowning frequently
due to weed growth and the low design of the weir sill. | The weir
conforms to British Standards up to 0.3m stage. Wye Bridge contains 5 arches
with secondary arches between the river & railway line to accommodate very
high flows. Bank is overtopped at 1.65m stage, flow contained in floodplain to
1.85m stage. Inspection of the gauge in 2002 for a rating review suggests a
secondary flow path upstream of Wye Bridge possibly results in flow through the
secondary culverts, bypassing the gauge. Weed growth can cause overestimation of
flows. Siltation also an issue. In 1962, sill was raised and the downstream
section was dredged approx. 23cm. It was proposed to clear the weed annually to
prevent further drowning, however conservation concerns have halted this in
recent years. Peak flow rating beyond 0.8m derived from hydraulic modelling,
confirmed with gaugings to 1.6m. | Low confidence in this site. Data
reprocessed in 2010; summer 2007 high flows significantly modified, 2000 flows
added. 1976 drought minimum (lowest flow on record) estimated. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | The east and west branches of the River Stour flow over
impermeable (mainly) Weald Clay; below Ashford (the only major settlement).
Catchment is half-and-half impervious and pervious. A rural catchment with mixed
land use. | M20 motorway & Channel Tunnel rail link are increasing the
development pressures on the catchment. Effluent from Ashford is a significant
component of low flows; small net import of water. Flood retention reservoirs
above Ashford (constructed 1990-2). Hydrographs show evidence of upstream mill
sluice operation (declining); regulation in early records from Wye Mill 160m
upstream. The catchment exhibits little storage. |

Flat V weir (commissioned Sep 1995), superseded broad-crested weir.
Significant baseflow regime but also responsive. | Flat V weir 7m wide,
located 50 m d/s of a minor road bridge between Horsmonden and Brandfold, in a
relatively straight approach. Station used as control point for Bewl Water
Reservoir (offtake is ~1km upstream), data inspected regularly by Southern
Water. Superseded broad-crested weir (crest width: 5.95m; weir capacity: ~3
cumecs) in trapezoidal section. | Weed growth can cause problems and no
high flow gaugings pre-1995. Crest tapping no longer used. Cableway at site -
calibration now extends throughout the flow range (but less reliable above
bankfull); gauging of 54 cumecs after Oct 2000 peak. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from September-1995
when new structure installed necessitating a rating change. Pre-1995 rating
valid to bankfull. Post-1995 rating derived from hydraulic modelling and well
calibrated to bankfull. | Missing flows July 1994 - August 1995 during
construction of new structure. Isolated and anomalous low flows (e.g. 2004)
reflect influence of abstractions for Bewl Water. GDF minimum (0.033 cumecs on
16/02/2005) resulted from significant upstream abstraction. POT and AMAX are
pre- and post- Bewl Bridge Reservoir (1975), pre-reservoir rejected. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Bewl Water Reservoir constructed 1975, occupies approx. 3% of
total catchment area. The River Teise originates to the south east of Tunbridge
Wells, and flows east to its confluence with the River Bewl, then north towards
the River Medway. Catchment developed on the Wealden Series: comprises Hastings
Beds, composed of sandstones, siltstones & clays; Tunbridge Wells Sand,
Wadhurst Clay, Ashdown Sand; one quarter impervious, three quarters pervious.
The more permeable components are locally important aquifers feeding the
numerous springs which provide the baseflow for the headwaters. Catchment is
predominantly rural. | Significant baseflow but also responsive.
Augmentation (from Bewl Water) dominates post-1975 low flow patterns; e.g.
1989/90. Runoff influenced by public water supply abstraction and effluent
returns. Some artificial regulation from Hope Mill Sluice approx. 3.2km
upstream. |

Combined flow series from two separate stations Penshurst (low flows) and
Vexour Bridge (high flows). Gauges a predominantly impervious catchment with
some settlements. | Combination of low flows from Penshurst (Flat V weir)
and high flows Vexour Bridge (time of flight ultrasonic) 3km upstream. Out of
bank flows at Vexour calculated via high flow rating when stage rises above 3.3m
at Vexour. The ultrasonic gauge was installed in 2003 to quantify hysteresis
effects due to water impoundment at the Leigh Barrier (13 km d/s). | The
River Eden is a meandering channel where bank erosion and accretion continually
change the channel morphology. Some siltation problems within measuring channel
at Ultrasonic station affecting lower paths. All but exceptional flows
contained. Rating is a good fit to gaugings (not held because flows are combined
from Penshurst and Vexour). High confidence to bankfull (large number &
range of flow gaugings), reasonable confidence above. | Post-1995 low and
high flows combined (with adjustment for catchment area) but combination of
earlier gauged daily flows is incomplete. Evidence of draining and refilling
Hever Castle lake in daily flow record - e.g. March 2014 and September 2016.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020
(WINFAP Files v9). | Catchment developed on sands and clays of the Wealden
Series - impervious types predominate. Includes mostly Weald Clay and Upper and
Lower Tunbridge Wells Sand, with the remainder made up of Upper Greensand,
Ashdown Sand, Folkestone Beds, Sandgate Beds, Hythe Beds, and Atherfield,
Grinstead, Gault and Wadhurst Clays. Resulting in a responsive flow regime in a
small baseflow supported from the Upper Greensand. Predominantly rural catchment
with scattered settlements including Edenbridge, Godstone, Lingfield and East
Grinstead (which occupy approx. 3% of the total catchment area). With a
catchment area u/s of Penshurst of 224km2, with Penshurst G/S only 2.8km U/S of
the confluence with the River Medway. | Large areas of on-field storage
exist during flood events, floodplain is approx. 400m wide at the gauge site.
Offtake for Bough Beech Reservoir is upstream - occupying <1% of the total
catchment area, it causes a small net export of water but does not operate
during summer periods. Some slight regulation by Hever Castle Lake 3.2km
upstream. Leigh Flood Barrier, constructed 1981, d/s can cause some hysteresis
at the gauge. Consists of a flood storage reservoir capable of retaining up to
5.58 million cubic metres of water and is the largest on line flood storage
reservoir of its kind in the UK. Vexour Bridge is one of the main flood warning
stations used for input to the Leigh Barrier. Possible change in channel
dimensions over time. Large areas of on-field storage exist during flood events
(floodplain is approx. 400m wide at the gauge site). |

Broad-crested weir in trapezoidal section plus a Velocity-Area section for
flows >20 cumecs. | Broad-crested weir (width: 10.55m, insensitive) in
trapezoidal section plus a velocity-area section for flows >20 cumecs. There
is a confluence 0.2 km upstream of the gauge, upstream of which the Stour flows
through multiple channels. | The weir is British Standard horizontal and
broad crested, both upstream and downstream faces having a rounded nose;
however, non-standard 0.02 m height variation along the crest width (1.8m). Flow
is contained by sloping side bunds, with no wing walls. Throughout the record
the station has never gone out of range at the weir, however a 2002 station
review revealed secondary flow paths along the public footpath between the
channel and sewage ponds. Problems with downstream channel erosion at the end of
the concrete structure, resulting in a local channel widening of approx. 2m.
Electromagnetic gauge installed 1992 but rarely used as weir rating is so
reliable. Theoretical rating endorsed by gaugings. Two peak flow ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from January-1969. Current
rating reliable; derived from a modified theoretical weir equation and valid to
1.5m when flow is out of bank. | Intermittent discharge noted in files
(1965) from a water wheel on a controlled tributary stream. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | The east and west branches of the Stour flow over Weald Clay;
below the confluence (at Ashford - the only significant urban area). Chalk
dominates, also Gault Clay, Folkestone Beds, Sandgate Beds, Hythe Beds, Weald
Clay. Remainder London Clay, Woolwich Beds, Thanet Beds, Atherfield Clay. A
rural catchment with mixed land use; Ashford is the only significant urban area.
M20 motorway and Channel Tunnel rail link are increasing the development
pressures on the catchment. River bed is open textured gravel of considerable
depth, which is a feature of the River Stour from Wye to Canterbury. |
Substantial baseflow but relatively flashy storm response. Very modest net
impact of artificial influences on runoff (import of 0.03 m3/s in 1998). Modest
public water supply and irrigation abstractions in lower valley - some
counterbalancing due to small amounts of effluent (from outside catchment).
Considerable abstractions from boreholes within 8km upstream and downstream
(started 1968/1969). Station adjacent to sewage treatment ponds and in extreme
events could spill into the ponds. Upstream regulation from Chartham Paper Mills
(0.8km upstream) evident on hydrographs. Runoff increased by effluent returns.
Flood storage reservoirs (Hothfield & Aldington), constructed above Ashford
(1990-92). In 1968 a number of water pumping stations opened on the River Stour,
namely Chilham and Chartham pumping stations. Upstream mill regulation evident
in hydrographs. |

Crump weir gauging a Chalk catchment with increasing groundwater
abstractions over time. | British Standard Crump weir, crest width 7.62 m;
concrete channel tapers in from the right bank resulting in narrowing d/s.
Straight approach in bridge invert, canalised section d/s follows a gentle right
hand curve. Modular to bankfull. | Large structure capacity but bypassed
(right bank) during extreme flood of Sep 1968 (flow estimated at ~50 cumecs).
Station is immediately d/s of a road bridge which may impede flows once the
soffit level (1.21 m stage) is exceeded. Possible summer weed growth problems.
Crest width may be restricted during periods of low flow to increase
sensitivity. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. |
Influent upstream; flows commonly lower than at Lullingstone (40018).
Augmentation pumps affected flows 08/08/2007 to 04/12/2007. Between 21/09/1972 -
09/11/1972 a temporary structure was erected on the weir, and in the past
temporary stop boards have been used to increase low flow sensitivity. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | The River Darent is a 32km long chalk stream. A mainly
pervious (Chalk and Lower Greensand) catchment with some sand/clay; Blackheath
Beds 1%, Thanet Sand 3.9%, Upper Chalk 33.8%, Middle Chalk 10%, Lower Chalk
7.6%, Upper Greensand 0.2%, Gault Clay 11.3%, Folkestone Beds 11.4%, Sandgate
Beds 4.4% Hythe Beds 15.9%, Atherfield Clay 0.5%. Predominantly rural with some
expanding urban centres. Maximum altitude of catchment 246mAOD. | Changes
in groundwater abstraction and Darent Augmentation Scheme have altered the
regime and character of the Darent through time. New road bridge directly over
gauge may have been installed after the gauge. There have been changes in flood
banks and floodplains since 1968 floods. Construction of M25 and A2. Office
developments. Sluices and abstractions to and returns from gravel workings
upstream affect flow - evident at low flow (e.g. Oct 1989). Baseflows were
greatly reduced by increasing ground water abstractions, but the Darent
Augmentation Scheme now operates and supports baseflow in the Darent.
Abstraction at Brasted, Sundridge, Lullingstone and Eynsford boreholes have been
phased out or reduced and down-gradient abstractions located further from the
river increased to compensate. The Darent Augmentation Scheme uses 3 boreholes
to augment flows to support ecology in the river during dry conditions. Some
artificial regulation by u/s mills/sluices in the past. Gravel washing may
extract water, used to wash during the day and release water at night. |

Compound Crump profile weir in baseflow-dominated catchment, but responsive
to storms. Removed from Peak Flow Dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Compound Crump profile weir; main crest width 3.04m with two side
crests each 2.286m; crest tapping and u/s, d/s gauge boards. Relatively straight
reach with a bend 30 m d/s. Floodplain is extensive on the right bank, but
narrow on the left. Replaced velocity-area station in 1969. | Modular
limit between 3 and 10 m3/s; central section may become non-modular at very
different stage to outer sections. Structure drowns completely before bankfull.
Reliable over full range. Structure width exceeds natural channel width, in the
past this has caused bank encroachment and upstream accretion of berms with
mature weed growth. This reduced area of approach influences weir performance,
possibly causing stilling well lag, which is exacerbated by poor velocity
distribution in approach section. Berms encroach on approach section almost to
the divide piers. Silting can occur on d/s slope of central crest. D/s levels
affected by summer weed growth. Channel was dredged in 1967 by 0.3m. Bypass
channel constructed 1964 around one of the principal gravel workings to reduce
the siltation load. Peak flow rating reviewed in 2002 and applied to full
record. Accounts for drowning & extended to include levels above wing wall
height. Rating deviates from gaugings beyond 0.2m. | Data since January
2014 is highly erroneous due to downstream weeds causing a backup of water and
non-modular conditions during the majority of the year. With no way to identify
the significant and variable modular limit, flow data from this site should not
be used until channel conditions can be improved. POT data only from April 1990
- prior to this daily mean flows available from February 1969, but no daily
maxima. 2000 event gaugings taken from the road bridges in Otford High Street,
as the channel splits into two branches downstream of the gauging station.
September 1968 floods estimated at 23 m3/s. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A mainly
pervious catchment, made up of Lower Greensand (60%), with considerable areas of
Gault (25%) and Chalk (15%) u/s of station. Baseflow almost entirely from
Folkestone Beds of the Lower Greensand. Runoff from Gault during heavy rainfall.
Responsive regime (for a pervious catchment). Predominantly rural with some
expanding urban centres, including Sevenoaks and Westerham. |
Baseflow-dominated regime but responsive to storms. Upstream groundwater
abstractions, which showed a substantial historical increase, have been reduced
- helping increase flows during dry periods. New roads constructed late 1960s
(M25), have greatly influenced runoff. Minor regulation by 'Morley' (a tile
company) (1988). The River Darent flows through a number of gravel pits upstream
of station, which have a balancing effect on flood flows. Backwater effects
caused in the past by Otford Mill and a drainage culvert which passes beneath
river channel 0.91km downstream of the station. |

120 degree V-notch weir; capacity of notch ~0.09 cumecs. | Station
closed in 2007. | Drowns for extended periods - poorly maintained
downstream channel subject to blockage after high flows. Site suffers from weed
and silt drowning out the weir during the summer months. | | Mainly
Chalk - overlain in parts by Drift - plus Tertiary deposits; baseflows derive
from the Thanet Sands. Predominantly rural embracing the village of Ash. |

Trapezoidal critical depth flume designed for modular operation. |
Principally a low flow station. Occasional overtopping onto wide alluvial
floodplain. Calibration limit ~2.7 cumecs. | Flume tends to silt up, also
blocking of stilling intake (e.g. in autumn 2000) - impacting on computed
flows. | High flow event in Oct 2000 under review. | Mixed geology:
Chalk and Lower London Tertiaries provide baseflow, surface runoff from the
London Clay. | Runoff diminished due to groundwater abstraction from the
Chalk. Sewage effluent - discharging 1km upstream - formed a major component of
low flows until 1991 (treatment now undertaken outside catchment). |

Compound weir with Larinier Fish Pass on lower crest accompanied by larger
Flat-V. | Compound structure. Low flow Larinier on left bank has width of
1.5m. Larger Flat-V has width of 9.120 and a crest of 6.449mAOD. Eel tiles also
present inside right bank wing wall. Site was rebuilt in 2015. Previously
asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir; left bank weir width 3.052m, right
bank weir width 7.612 m. The weirs are separated by a 0.23m wide concrete wall
and are both contained within wing walls. Located in a very straight reach with
some bank encroachment especially in weeded section immediately upstream of the
tapping pipe outlet. Crests frequently vandalised. | Modular limit ~6
cumecs, occasional drowning. The right bank floodplain is of a lower elevation
than the weir crest, however the limits of sections taken up to 840m upstream
indicate that no significant bypassing would occur under most flows. Weed growth
was a problem before structure was rebuilt. Significant structural instability
is an issue. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record, although no
gaugings above 0.3m to confirm rating. | Missing data 01/07/2015 to
06/11/2015 due to station re-build. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A mainly
pervious (Chalk) catchment; the Cray flows in an alluvial tract which has been
widely exploited for gravel/sand. Urban land use is extensive and increasing
particularly in the lower catchment. Urban land use is significant. Chalk
outcrops over a quarter of the area and is covered by permeable drift deposits,
producing little or no surface runoff. Lower London Tertiaries comprising
Blackheath Beds, Woolwich Beds, London Clay & Thanet Sands, overlie the
chalk in the northern basin, occupying around half of the area. These are
relatively impermeable deposits, producing some runoff. Mostly pervious
catchment. The river appears as chalk springs in Orpington 8km north of the
gauging station. During prolonged dry periods the flow virtually ceases. |
Major baseflow component but responsive to storms. Flows are substantially
affected by artificial influences; surface and groundwater abstractions, storm
water overflows and extensive local gravel workings. Considerable net export of
water & diminution of runoff. River flows in alluvial tract which has been
widely exploited for gravel/sand. |

Crump profile weir. Patchy records for 1970's and 1980's. Removed from Peak
Flow Dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Crump profile weir
(crest: 4.88m) in straight reach, containing an energy dissipator and crest
tapping (not used). Between 1967 and 1968 a temporary rated section was in place
to monitor flows prior to the construction of the permanent station. This
station had a 3m range and produced monthly charts. | Few gaugings at high
flows. Trash may gather in energy dissipator. Steep banks contain all but
exceptional flows. Wide and flat floodplain. Bypassing at stages >1m; maximum
recorded stage significantly above bankfull. Modular limit 6.259 m3/s. One peak
flow rating applied across period of record, does not take account of bypassing
or drowning. | Some truncation of peaks around modular limit (~6 cumecs).
Data are not presented for the earlier station. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A
relatively steep catchment draining from the High Weald. Geology: mostly Ashdown
Sands (variable permeability) with Purbeck Sands, Wells Sands, Wadhurst Clay;
catchment predominantly pervious. River Dudwell forms a tributary to the River
Rother. A largely rural catchment with significant woodland and scattered
settlements. | Responsive and essentially natural flow regime - to within
10% at Q95. The station is high in the headwaters. |

Three bay, non-standard broad-crested weir at the outfall of an ornamental
lake in the grounds of Lullingstone Castle. | Three bay, non-standard
broad-crested weir, each bay approx. 3-4m wide, total crest width 11m. Channel
bends downstream of structure. | Inlet approx. 300m across lake (hence
stage range is limited). Substantial fall downstream hence always modular.
Relatively insensitive, stop boards fitted in past (1965-68) to confine flow to
one bay and increase low flow sensitivity. Pressure transducer for flood
telemetry. Reasonable flow figures but Otford is a more reliable site for
gauging the River Darent. Wind fetch and storage at Lullingstone Lake possibly
affect levels. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. |
1968 flood greatly exceeded subsequent maxima. Significant period of missing
data from Feb - Nov 2009 attributed to re-design and re-build of gauging
station. Recorder lost during 1968 floods and no estimate made, flow would have
been of same order as at Otford (approx. 23 m3/s). Stop boards present Sept 1965
- Jul 1968; no account of stop boards taken by rating, therefore data prior to
1968 is regarded as of poorer quality. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Catchment is
predominantly pervious (Chalk). Mixed land use: agricultural with woodland plus
expanding urban centres in the headwaters (including Sevenoaks). Some water
meadows upstream (e.g. at Shoreham). | Baseflow-dominated regime.
Baseflows were previously greatly diminished by major groundwater abstractions
but augmentation scheme now operates (Lullingstone augmentation borehole
upstream). Some channel losses also where the Darent is influent downstream of
Lullingstone. Stage range is limited by the storage capacity of Lullingstone
Lake. Sewage outflows from Sevenoaks now piped direct to Dartford. |

Triangular profile Flat-V weir, constructed summer 1983, which superseded a
velocity area station. Station is one of control points for Medway barrage. A
temporary station was installed in late spring 1992, 250m downstream of Eridge
railway station; removed Nov/Dec 1992. | Triangular profile flat V weir
(width: 5.6m) superseded velocity-area station (data: 1973-83). Modular limit
1.89 m. Weir is 50 m downstream of B2188 road bridge, previous station was
upstream of this bridge. Station located approx. 2km upstream of the confluence
with the River Medway. Removed from peak flows dataset in February 2018 (WINFAP
Files v6). | Out of bank conditions have not been witnessed at this site
and no bypassing occurs. Significant u/s accretion can influence medium &
high flows. Good fall off crest, Modular limit ~1.9m. Theoretically rated, high
flow rating not defined. Most of the gaugings are for the original VA station,
therefore don't fit rating curve. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Rating extended with ISIS model for out of bank. Single valid high flow
gauging taken in 1981 (1.3m, 7m3s-1) casts doubt on rating form. | Patchy
record prior to 1986. | Catchment drains Wealden area of Sussex/Kent,
encompassing Hastings Beds, Tunbridge Wells Sand, Wadhurst Clay and Ashdown
Beds. Catchment is impervious (one quarter) and pervious (three quarters).
Rural, mainly agricultural land use with some woodland. The Eridge Stream rises
at an elevation of over 200m at Saxonbury Hill, and flows in a north westerly
direction. | Responsive regime. Runoff increased by effluent returns. A
number of old mill sluices exist on the stream and an artificial lake in Eridge
Park with a sluice outlet (6.07 hectares). None of these sluices are believed to
be operational. Locally important aquifers feed numerous springs which provide
baseflow for the headwaters. |

Trapezoidal critical depth flume. | Structure capacity 2.25 cumecs,
channel capacity is considerably greater but bypassing on left bank. Station
added to peak flows dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Power
law rating in three sections. Records indicate it is based on hydraulic theory
for a trapezoidal flume. Site is difficult to gauge at high flows due to the
flashy nature of the catchment. | WY1980/1981 rejected because it was
likely to have occured during period of missing data. | A relatively
narrow catchment trending SE from headwaters in the High Weald (source is in
Bedgebury Forest). Rural land use, some woodland - developed on Wadhurst Clay
(about half) and the overlying Tunbridge Wells Sands. | |

Flat-V weir affected by vegetation and siltation problems and some upstream
regulation. | Flat V weir (7.96m broad; shallow approach depth - modular
limit >0.217m) superseded - in 1979 - a velocity-area station (level records
from 1967). The VA station was installed to provide design data for future
structure; was subject to vegetation problems. Gauge is located 3.5km upstream
of the confluence with the East Stour. | The weir does not conform to
British Standard as the downstream slope is inadequate and the approach channel
is not straight and uniform. Flow becomes non-modular at stages. The low modular
limit, Singleton Lake outflows and backwater effects from the B2229 road bridge
hinder the gauges effectiveness at high flows. Vegetation and channel siltation
problems, the latter possibly caused by concrete energy dissipation blocks
downstream of the gauge. The 2002 review suggests that these may reduce the
effectiveness of the gauge at moderate flows due to the already limited drop off
of the weir outflow from Singleton Lake will impact flow over the weir. Gaugings
taken by wading with rods, which can result in an underestimation of flow
through the gauge. Theoretical ratings, velocity-area calibration for high flows
- but wide uncertainty band. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record. Most recent rating extended to 1.8m by hydraulic modelling but low
confidence beyond 1.13m as out of bank. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A largely
impervious catchment, with mostly Clay soils, but some baseflow from the North
Downs, trending south east towards Ashford. Rural grazing with some woodlands
urban development near to station. M20 motorway & Channel Tunnel rail link
are increasing the development pressures on the catchment. | Some upstream
regulation: Hothfield flood retention reservoir upstream has a major impact on
flood flows - designed to limit d/s flows to <6 m3/s. Spill into Singleton
Lake (200m upstream), occurs at high flows with inflow to the river
approximately 20m upstream gauged via a flapped outlet. Spills into Singleton
Lake are unlikely to bypass the gauge. |

Flat V weir, 1:10 cross-slope, superseded a Velocity-Area station. |
Flat V weir, superseded a Velocity-Area station. | Theoretical rating
- to 5.3 cumecs (under review). Improved downstream conditions have increased
modular range. Almost all flows contained but flood alleviation scheme truncates
peaks. Mill sluice operation and, from 1990, flood retention reservoirs provide
a degree of regulation. | Affected by weed-growth in 1976. | A rural
catchment, developed mostly on clay. Significant land use change from the late
1980s (industrial / commercial development, by-pass etc) above Ashford. |
Runoff increased by sewage effluent. |

rated. | Most flows contained but most peaks truncated at ~3.8
cumecs. | Dec 2002 maximum generated by notable storm but flow is
indicative only. | Geology: Lower Greensand, Folkestone and Hythe Beds.
Predominantly rural land use, although urbanised in lower catchment near
confluence with the Medway. | Very little artificial influence in the
catchment. There are historical structures controlling the water levels within
the stream - an online lake and mill ponds in the top of the catchment - which
can be opened for storage before rainfall events. Reliable springs sustain flows

Flat-V weir, velocity-area station prior to 1984. | Flat-V weir (1:20
cross-slope, capacity: 1 cumec) within concrete berms in brick-lined section,
almost all flows contained. Replaced velocity-area station in 1984. |
Modular. Most flows contained. Possible changes in bed datum of previous
rated section caused by scour; gravel and chalk form the bed substrate.
Theoretical rating - extends to 1.59 cumecs; exceeded in Feb/Mar 1995 and in
early 2001, when outstanding flows (confirmed by current metering 03/02/2001)
reflect record groundwater levels and substantial urban runoff following
>40mm storm. Spot gauging of 0.06 cumecs on 05/10/1976 represents good
approximation for 1976 drought minimum. One peak flow rating applied across
period of record. Large amount of scatter in gaugings. | Data estimated
for Jun - Aug 1995. Reprocessing of high flow data carried out in May 2007
following rating review by Peter Brett Associates. Period between 1979 and 1984
rejected because the values were taken from a different site and not
reprocessed. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | The Dour is a spring-fed Chalk stream
(two main branches) draining to Dover. Rural headwaters but significant urban
development in the lower valley above Crabble Mill. | Baseflow-dominated
regime. Possible changes to abstractions. Urban fraction of catchment very
responsive to notable storms. Runoff reduced by substantial groundwater
abstraction. Ornamental lakes upstream. |

setup in 2003 as a new flood forecasting site. Flow was measured using an
ultrasonic flow gauge with 4 single paths. In March 2020, ultrasonics were
replaced with a rating derived from data produced by the ultrasonic gauge.
Station added to peak flows dataset in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Concrete section with vertical walls. Small non-standard structure exists
downstream, originally to raise head above lowest transducer path. | Much
of the data between 01/07/2004 and 09/01/2013 has been flagged as 'suspect' by
the EA due to performance problems with the ultrasonic gauge specifically at low
flows. Peaks still appear good and infills have been provided for DMF values
where needed. WY2005/2006 and WY2012/2012 rejected as AMAX likely occured during
period of missing data. | Predominantly clay catchment, gauge itself in a

Compound Crump weir. | From May 1981 to November 2005, thin plate weir
(insensitive) used in summer to overcome drowning of flume and to increase depth
for 'wet fencing' upstream. Thin plate removed in winter and weir used
exclusively. Changeover day between winter and summer ratings varied by year;
thin plate no longer used. | Frequency of drowning reduced following
downstream channel improvements - under non-modular conditions flows estimated
using 41002. Since November 2005, thin plate weir not been installed during
summer months for environmental reasons and because check gaugings suggest
drowning no longer occurs. Currently, weir and corresponding rating in place all
year round; accuracy of weir verified in summer. Many peaks truncated at ~9
cumecs; lack of high flow rating at this site. Structure and channel choked by
vegetation, extending downstream when flow not sufficient to flush vegetation
through. | Early flow records unreliable. | Varied topography
developed on Hastings Beds - some permeable strata (Ashdown Sands). Land use is
mainly arable with considerable woodland. | Essentially natural responsive
regime, although sewage treatment works upstream. Groundwater augmentation
during droughts (e.g. 1989/90). |

Compound thin-plate weir with compound critical depth flume (with minor
tilting). | Compound thin-plate weir used in summer (maintains depth for
'wet fencing' upstream); insensitive and flow pattern can be erratic due to
raising / lowering of plate. | Frequency of drowning reduced following
downstream channel improvements in 1953. Highest flows exceed the structure
calibration; few check gaugings available. | | A mainly impervious
catchment (Wadhurst Clay) of rural character, with considerable woodland. |
Limited storage in Ashburnham Lake. Minor net effect of abstractions and
discharges but significant groundwater augmentation (from Ashdown Sands) in most
summers - evidently artificial low flow pattern. |

Flat-V weir, high flows measured at velocity-area station upstream at
velocity-area station upstream at Arlington. Relatively narrow catchment
developed on mixed geology. Responsive flow pattern but can provide periods of
sustained high flow in winter. | Flat-V weir (width 10m, cross-slope
1:10), with crest tapping. High flows gauged at velocity-area section upstream
at Arlington, previously calculated using a slope-area section and stage
measured at Milton Lock 1.6km downstream. Prior to 1994: compound broad-crested
weir - drowned regularly (tidal locking in extreme events, especially in winter)
when ratio of downstream to upstream head was >40%. Flows then assessed using
fall-discharge method (adjustment discontinued 1981 - peaks truncated at ~5
cumecs until ~1990). Removed from peak flows dataset in May 2016 (WINFAP Files
v4). | All but exceptional flows contained, but peaks truncated at ~27
cumecs - common in 2000. Reliable station for low to medium flows, but becomes
non-modular at ~6 cumecs, flows >10 cumecs unreliable; river goes out of bank
across adjacent fields at high flows. Some bypassing noted in CEH files (1970),
via a small culvert operative during floods - uncertain what level this occurs,
or if this still applies. Currently still tidally affected downstream (from 0.7m
stage), two point flows taken. Very few check gaugings available at high
flows. | No flows 29/02/1992 - 03/03/1994 due to rebuild. Flows >10
cumecs are unreliable. | Relatively narrow catchment developed on mixed
geology (mainly Hastings Beds and Gault Clay). Primarily a rural catchment with
significant areas of woodland. | Responsive flow pattern but can provide
periods of sustained high flow in winter. Arlington pumped storage reservoir is
upstream, for which there is an abstraction which influences flows. Runoff
reduced by public water supply abstraction. Sewage treatment works downstream of
gauge has a sluice in place to prevent upstream movement of effluent - this is
often overtopped. Limited net effect. Increased urbanisation. |

In 1994, a four-path ultrasonic gauge superseded (except for minimum flows)
complex structure (weirs and sluices) - subject to drowning. Sluice operation
further complicates the derivation of discharges. | Ultrasonics moved
upstream of abstraction intake in 1999. | High flow measurement problems
remain; goes out of bank at high flows. Sluice operation further complicates the
derivation of discharges. | | Geology: mixed - Hastings Beds
(mainly permeable) predominate. A largely rural catchment with substantial
woodland and scattered urban centres. | Water utilisation in the catchment
is complex; major abstraction located immediately upstream and Ardingly
reservoir (2km upstream) provides regulation. |

Flat-V weir superseded a compound short-crested semi-circular weir, the new
weir is more accurate at low flows. Flow record patchy 1992-1994 due to
construction/remedial work. Flows are heavily influenced by Ardingly
Reservoir. | Flat-V weir (crest: 10m wide, cross slope 1:10) commissioned
July 1992. Velocity area section with cableway for higher flows, but problems
associated with upstream influences. Superseded a compound short-crested
semi-circular weir (width 10.7m, central section 1.22m wide & 2 flanking
sections, 3.15m wide, elevated by 0.15m). The modular limit of this weir was
0.6m stage / 5.6 cumecs, or a ratio of upstream to downstream head >
40%. | Two subsidiary culverts accommodate overflow, bank re-profiling has
been carried out to negate the effects of this water entering the gauging
section at high flows; relatively successful. Exact modular limit is not known
but lies between 0.8m - 0.9m stage / 8.2 - 10.5 cumecs. The abutment walls at
the weir, earth bank upstream and alongside the weir and gauge section give full
containment, to all but exceptional flows; the EA doubt whether significant
bypassing actually occurs until the upstream head exceeds 3.05m. No overtopping
of flood banks in Oct 2000; 85 cumecs current-meter gauging following peak, and
site has many check gaugings available. A 2002 station review suggests a mistake
in the dimensioning of the upstream truncation of the weir block during design.
1996 & 2001 survey drawings show significant sediment deposition upstream of
the weir (up to approx. 600mm against left abutment); this is sufficient to have
a tangible effect on the upper part of the stage-discharge relationship.
Sediment was removed following the 2000 event, but may have returned. Work was
done (1993-1994), on 3 bank sections near to the weir which had slipped, more
widespread bank stability measures also implemented. Changes in tailwater levels
between 1960-61 & 1967-69. Upstream & downstream head causes a need for
some 2 point gaugings. Frequently gauged but no low flow gaugings, although the
new weir is more accurate at low flows. Possible errors at higher flows due to
flow separation & circulatory flow against the left bank - caused by the
entrance of a drainage ditch upstream of the station carrying the flow from 3
culverts under the A272; it is uncertain whether this is still the case, as
notes indicate that the culverts may no longer be in use. Two ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from July-1992 when weir was
replaced necessitating a change in rating. Both ratings fit to their respective
gaugings well and account for bypassing when >90m3s-1. | Flow record
patchy 1992-1994 due to construction/remedial work. Full daily flow record
reprocessed in 2003. Data estimated for Jun - Jul 1983 and for Sep 1993. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | Mixed geology with substantial permeable outcrops -
particularly the Tunbridge Wells Sands. Diverse land use - chiefly rural with
significant woodland but some urban centres including Haywards Heath. Some
increase in urbanisation. The River Ouse is subject to flashy flows in summer
& more prolonged flooding in winter. Flooding can be extensive with the
valleys either side of the river inundated. | Flows are heavily influenced
by Ardingly Reservoir which impounds the Shell Brook tributary upstream
(catchment area 22.6sq. km). Reservoir releases augment low flows and supply the
downstream river abstraction at Barcombe Mills. Sewage treatment works also have
a limited influence on the responsive regime. |

Flat-V weir. Very responsive regime. Discharge from sewage treatment works
affects low flows during summer. Automatic flood gates upstream at Uckfield Mill
can produce abrupt flow changes. | Flat-V weir (crest width 7.62m; 1:10
cross-slope) with cableway. Crest tapping (not currently instrumented) and some
non-standard elements (e.g. experimental fish-ladder which has now been removed)
between the abutments of a pre-existing Crump weir. Fish baffles installed in
August 2019 on the downstream slope of the weir. Station is well sited
downstream of railway embankment with large capacity bridge opening, 2km
upstream of the Isfield Road Bridge. Superseded (in Sept 1999) a Crump profile
weir (crest width 7.62m, crest level from bed 1.13m), with crest tapping. Flow
capacity of earlier Crump was 51 cumecs but was subject to drowning in the mid
flow range (10-30 cumecs), with a return to modular conditions at high flows due
to overbank flow and the valley shape downstream. Prior to weir replacement
(1999), retaining wall around old structure was in poor condition with the
masonry on the right bank in danger of collapse. | Flow gaugings using the
crest tappings were made during about the first 10 years of operation. Weir was
built with a 24 inch bypass pipe controlled by a penstock at its upstream end.
Flow bypassing commenced at a gauged head of about 2.35m (51.61 cumecs) prior to
April 2002. Following repair and rising of the eroded bank in April 2002, flow
bypassing would occur at a gauged head of about 2.40m (55.85 cumecs). Present
weir does not comply with BS 3680 requirements (upstream gauging location is
closer to crest than recommended for gauged heads >1.4m approx). Experimental
fish ladder installed on the downstream face, no effects noticed so far. Both
original and existing weirs exhibit mid-range drowning (~10-30 cumecs). In 2002
a 6m section of the left hand bank immediately upstream of weir was rebuilt as
was washed away, the bank around the weir was piled and work done on the
upstream approach. Cableway installed in 1999 improved high flow capability;
lots of check gaugings available. Ratings differ pre and post 1999 (when weir
upgraded). Good confidence in mid-range flows although no account for remedial
work in 2002 when bypassing reduced. All gaugings >2m are post remedial work
and confirm that rating now overestimates flow. Two peak flow ratings applied
across the period of record. | Data infilled with modelled data
30/07/2019-22/08/2019 due to fish baffle installation. | Catchment geology
very mixed; Hastings Beds predominate. Above Isfield the catchment is rural with
significant areas of woodland, but the Uckfield urban area is expanding. The
River Uck is the principal tributary of the River Ouse. | Very responsive
regime. No substantial abstractions but discharge from sewage treatment works
affects low flows during summer. Automatic flood gates upstream at Uckfield Mill
can produce abrupt flow changes. Runoff increased by effluent returns. OUSENAT
flow naturalisation scheme. Urban expansion around Uckfield. |

Compound Crump weir and flood gate (installed in 1982) superseded a
broad-crested weir. | Lower Crump section acts as fish pass and flood gate
is rarely used. | Water can back-up from downstream confluence of Rother
and Arun, causing station to drown at 16 cumecs or less (dependent on tide
level). River also goes out of bank over adjacent fields at such flows. High
flows extrapolated from Velocity-Area station at Fittleworth ~3km upstream. |
Flows truncated at ~16 cumecs since 1982 due to backwater and drowned weir
conditions. No data on National River Flow Archive 1977-82. | |
Abstractions for public water supply (offtake is immediately upstream);
minor spray irrigation impact. |

Three-bay rectangular critical-depth structure. Station closed in 2005. |
Flanking sections (each 2.16m wide) can be closed to concentrate flow in the
central bay (0.864m). Station closed in 2005. | Stop-board removal can
produce odd flow patterns. Structure non-modular at ~5 cumecs; few high flow
gaugings. Prior to 2003, two different ratings (summer and winter) were applied.
Flood flows bypass the structure across adjacent fields due to shallow river
bank. Almost all flood flows truncated at ~11 cumecs (very common in
2000-02). | | A rural catchment developed principally on impervious
formations - Weald Clay dominates. | Sensibly natural - and very

present downstream at Fittleworth to measure high flows. Prior to 1968 an
existing penstock weir was in place, consisting of 5 irregularly shaped masonry
piers & abutments, constructed in the late 18th century. The 6 wooden
ratchet operated doors had fallen into disuse. | Weir was originally
designed to measure flows up to 51 cumecs, actual capacity when built 45 cumecs.
Upstream approach not central, probably affecting uniformity of flows in weir
section. Non-modular only during high flows (conveyance affected by growth of
trees obstructing a downstream bridge; downstream siltation may also be a
factor). Sept 2000 visit notes suggest flood flows during Dec 1999 had deposited
up to 0.6m of sand on the right bank downstream of the structure, adding to
effects of the bridge downstream causing drowning. Bankfull stage 1.9m above
weir crest. One rating applied across period of record. Derived from hydraulic
modelling, it fits well to the maximum gauging of 0.6m. | 1968 is largest
high flow event on record, when the channel was overtopped a maximum level 0.7m
above structure full was obtained; flow was estimated at 100-150 cumecs.
Significantly greater than late 2000 maxima when all flows were contained with
no overtopping or bypassing. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Mixed geology; 2/3 pervious,
1/3 naturally impervious. Large tracts of Lower Greensand. A mainly rural
catchment with some urban development. The river originates by Liss, flows
southwest to Petersfield then east towards confluence with the River Arun. The
main river is confined to the sandy measures of Lower Greensand which comprise
almost 50% of catchment area giving rise to very fine silty and sandy alluvium.
North of the Rother the area is mainly occupied by an outcrop of the Hythe
Formation and to the south by an outcrop of the Folkestone Formation. Numerous
fed springs originate at the Chalk and Gault Clay boundary, drain northwards
into the Rother and cut across the Folkestone Formation. The catchment is
predominantly rural with some urban development, mixed woodland & arable
use. | Many springs provide a large baseflow component but the Rother is
very responsive to rainfall. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. Petersfield forms a significant urban area. Abstractions
for spray irrigation and sewage treatment works discharges affect the flow
regime, particularly low flows - but limited impact overall. The Rother is
influent above Iping Mill. |

Compound Crump profile weir. Largely rural lower catchment, responsive
regime. | Compound Crump profile weir (crests: 1.219m and 2 x 2.438m,
total width 6.71m right-hand crest is 0.01m higher than left-hand crest).
Present weir was constructed between 14/05/1966 - 10/10/1967, along with work on
a local improvement in river section and alignment plus replacement of old
penstock. Old penstock weir crest was lifted in 1964 to avoid backwater
effects. | Maximum capacity 45 cumecs. Crest tapping (seldom used) removed
in 1993-94 when weir crest and wing-walls replaced (the weir profile remained
the same). Modularity limitations at medium-high flow due to downstream channel
conditions, but flows rarely corrected for frequent drowning as point of
drowning unknown. Although not directly tidally affected, outfall sluices
approx. 3.5km downstream forming the tidal limit of the Adur restrict the
floodplain and embanked section downstream of the gauge, exacerbating drowning
problems. One rating applied across period of record, based on hydraulic
properties of Crump weir. Problems in past development of rating curve due to
frequent drowning & subsequent scatter of points on rating curve. Station
graded C for mean annual flood range. | Flows on 13/08/2004 and for
Aug-Sep 2007 recession considered suspect. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Mixed
geology - permeable headwaters but predominantly Weald Clay in the lower
reaches. Largely rural lower catchment but significant urban growth along the
eastern catchment boundary (including Cuckfield, Burgess Hill and Haywards
Heath). The frequency of summer flooding may be increasing. | Responsive
regime. No substantial abstractions, small net import of water. Burgess Hill
sewage effluent has substantial impact on low flows. |

Compound thin-plate weir with compound critical depth flume for higher
flows. | Compound thin-plate weir with compound critical depth flume for
higher flows. | Downstream dredging in 1952 facilitated modular operation
(earlier data suspect) but intermittent drowning still factor. Few check
gaugings available. Pre-2006, changeover between summer and winter ratings
unclear. | | Huggletts Stream flows south from the main High Weald
drainage divide. A rural catchment developed mostly on impervious formations -
extensive tracts of Wadhurst Clay. | Responsive, essentially natural, flow

Flat-V weir (installed in 1994 when station was moved to Pallingham Manor
Farm) with (from 2002) ultrasonics for high flows. Runoff increased by effluent
returns. A predominantly impervious catchment. A relatively natural catchment.
Growing urban fraction especially around Horsham. | Flat-V weir (installed
in 1994 when station moved to Pallingham Manor Farm) with ultrasonics for high
flows (from 2002, poor performance in early period). Superseded an insensitive
broad-crested weir at Pallingham Quay (15m wide), with 0.03m fall along crest
due to settlement, cableway at Park Mound. Possibly also early broad-crested
weir at Park Mound (1960-1970). | Work undertaken (2013-2014) to improve
ultrasonics, lack of mid/high flow calibrations exist. Weir can drown at higher
tides, and above 2 m3/s. Cableway present, but the velocity-area measurement is
restricted by the effects of tidal lag at high flows. All but exceptional floods
contained (overtopped by 1974 flood) but most post-1979 peak flows truncated at
~55 cumecs. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Pre-1994
rating derived for broad crested crump weir with post 1994 developed for Flat-V
weir. Limited gaugings to confirm rating. Tidal influence only allows reasonable
relationship (still scattered) at flows > 50 m3/s. Newer (modelled) rating
increases flows at high stages compared to FEH data. | From 2009, flows
truncated at 5.56 cumecs due to poor performance above this level; more gaugings
required before rating can be extended. Record generally complete, some partial
data in 1980's and 1990's. Flows comparable to the 1973 minimum occurred in
several years. | A predominantly impervious catchment consisting largely
of Weald Clay and Lower Greensand. Land use mixed, mainly rural, substantial
woodland. A relatively natural catchment. Growing urban fraction especially
around Horsham. | The Arun has a relatively natural, and very responsive,
regime although runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Asymmetrical compound Crump weir gauging a river with baseflow-dominated
regime. Significant net export of water from catchment, but also some flow
augmentation. | Asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir; crests: 0.61m
(showing effects of erosion) and 4.12m broad. Located 160m upstream of Hampshire
Bridge. | Structure limit 5.08 cumecs, modular throughout the flow range.
Flows were above structure limit during 2000 event for long periods of time. All
flows contained. Differential drawdown can affect river level measurement. One
theoretical rating applied across period of record, but appears to overestimate
flows. | | The Ems - which is ephemeral over much of its length -
is a Chalk stream draining the South Downs; Drift cover is minimal. A rural
catchment with significant woodland and scattered settlements. Geology
principally chalk, therefore flow is predominantly from groundwater. Largely
rural with significant woodland. No significant catchment changes known. |
Baseflow-dominated regime. Flood events are typically small, runoff normally
approximately 1%. Significant net export of water from the catchment
(groundwater abstractions) but low flows augmented by compensation water (from
borehole). |

An asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir with reinforced concrete crests.
A rural catchment (with a significant urban fraction in the headwaters) on mixed
geology. Responsive to rainfall on impervious part of catchment. Large
groundwater component. | An asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir with
reinforced concrete crests 2.13m and 2.97m broad. with crest tapping. Second
crest is 0.15 m above lower crest. | Transition of flow from small weir to
larger weir at 0.4 m head, derived flows above this level can be suspect. Very
limited head during droughts, and crest tapping is necessary at stages >0.6 m
(not currently used, silted up regularly). Weir drowns around 0.75 m/5.8 m3/s
and capacity is exceeded in large floods (structure-full 1.46 m); weir prone to
bypassing. Bridge downstream causes choking, affecting the weir. New crest
installed 2002, no change in crest level. One modelled rating applied across
period of record. Good check gauging via downstream velocity-area station using
current meter and derrick. At height of sidewalls flow can be between 10-15
m3/s. | Early daily flow data (1939-67) is of poorer quality (daily mean
flows) and relates to low flows only, when a low flow weir was in place with a
further low flow structure (V-notch), 180m downstream; some data have been
infilled. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A rural catchment (with a significant
urban fraction in the headwaters) developed on mixed geology, Hastings Beds
predominate, with a Wealden mixture dominating the pervious parts of the
catchment. | Large groundwater component, but responsive to rainfall on
impervious part of catchment. Sewage treatment works discharges upstream.
Earlier surface and groundwater abstractions have ceased; previously an
abstraction intake existed immediately upstream of weir. Abstraction for public
water supply. |

Compound Crump profile weir. | Compound Crump profile weir (crests:
2.44m and 2 x 2.13m broad) subject to frequent drowning. Station level-only from
2004, due to bypassing and access issues. | Station prone to drowning due
to tide locking after rainfall events. Full range station. Poor differentiation
between low flows over lengthy periods (repeated sequences of 0.02 cumecs being
common). | Earliest data less reliable due to subsidence of the weir. |

Crump weir draining impervious catchment with natural regime. Station closed
from October 2001. | Station closed from October 2001. Crump profile weir
(8.7m broad - fall of 0.012m along crest due to settlement) with crest tapping
(not used for most recent data before station closure). Located 3.23km upstream
of confluence with River Arun. A low retention weir existed 305m downstream of
the site at the time of construction. It was originally intended that the water
upstream of the new weir could be drained through a 0.61m diameter pipe in order
to facilitate maintenance on the upstream side. | Structure is insensitive
and subject to drowning at low flows - modular limit between 0.7 - 0.85m.
Bypassed at high flows (February 1974 event overtopped by 0.15 - 0.3m). One
rating applied across period of record using hydraulic modelling for high
flows. | Subject to zero flow during prolonged dry periods. | An
impervious (Weald Clay) catchment given over to agriculture; some extensive
woodland tracts. Slight urbanisation has occurred in the catchment. | Very
minor impact of artificial influences on the responsive flow regime. Natural to
within 10% at Q95. |

Asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir. | Asymmetrical compound
Crump profile weir(crests: 4.0m and 6.0m broad). | Crest tapping not
currently used; over-estimation of high flows (structure drowns frequently); but
1996-2002 flows truncated at ~15 cumecs. 1983 minima under review (those of Aug
1976 look more realistic). Stilling well leakage can influence water
levels. | | Principally an impervious (Weald Clay) catchment -
mainly rural but includes Horsham. | Limited impact of artificial
influences on responsive flow regime - small net augmentation due to sewage
effluent, which can significantly affect low flow patterns. |

Crump profile weir (with ultrasonic) gauging a small primarily impervious
responsive rural catchment. | Crump profile weir (crest 6m broad) in
straight reach of realigned channel, approx 100m downstream of road bridge. Weir
altered by the insertion of low flow crump weir (0.5m wide) in centre of
structure in Oct 2005 (new crest 0.521m below the rest of the weir). Low flow
weir generates substantial fall below station; two sets of baffles (with notches
in sides for fish passage) reduce scour on downstream side of weir. Two
cross-path ultrasonic gauge installed January 2007. Evidence for two previous
structures in locality. | Constructed with crest tappings, but these not
used since 1981. Stream channel narrows downstream of structure, exacerbated in
summer by weed growth. Crest width of 6m is too large for accurate low flow
measurement. Bypassing of the original structure above 1.15m as the river is on
higher ground than the surrounding land. Possible via a number of routes - a
ditch downstream of Clappers Bridge, overtopping of the banks upstream of the
weir and overtopping of the abutments at the gauging station. Bypassing is also
known to have occurred over the Spithurst Road southwest of Clappers Bridge.
However, since redevelopment of weir in Oct 2005, no bypassing observed during
instances with stage >1.15m. Two ratings applied across period of record,
latest from Oct-2005 when weir modified. Gaugings show good fit to rating.
Rating of the original weir is consistent with theoretical rating at low stages;
it has an allowance for bypassing for stages above 1.15m, but has not been
validated above this level. A rating for the new structure was obtained after
extensive program of check gauging, up to nearly bankfull. | Since
February 2013, all flow data from this site derived using solely ultrasonic
(except 12/03 - 09/04/2014 and 01/01 - 30/09/2020). | One of the largest
tributaries of the River Ouse. A small primarily impervious catchment draining
east & north from the South Downs, north flowing tributaries providing
significant baseflow. Geology is predominantly Weald Clay with outcrops of
chalk, Upper & Lower Greensand & Gault Clay on South Downs. A rural
catchment with considerable woodland. Slight urbanisation in the catchment. |
Substantial winter baseflow with rapid response to rainfall leading to short
duration high flood flows. Runoff affected by effluent returns but negligible
impact of artificial influences on responsive flow regime on all but lowest
river flow. |

Crump profile weir. The Clayhill stream is ephemeral and drains an
impervious catchment. | Crump profile weir (crest width: 3.0m) with crest
tapping and flushing point. Located 0.57 km upstream of confluence with Iron
River. | Structure drowns at approx. 0.45m (1.87 m3/s). Algal growth on
crest can influence stage and is burnt off when flows are suitable or by-pass
channel can be used. Insensitive at low flow; should be sensitive at high flow.
Possibly bypasses at higher flows upstream of the gauge, although this has never
been witnessed. The date of removal of the cableway is unknown but was prior to
1989. New crest weir installed during 10/10/05 to 16/11/05, no change in crest
height. One rating applied across period of record. Rating based on hydraulic
calculations for Crump profile weir, no spot flow gaugings available for
verification. No rating available for non-modular range. | Extended
periods with zero flow in summer. Some (sporadic) early flow data available (at
Southern Water) from 1955. Data for during 10/10/05 to 16/11/05 during
installation of new crest weir. | The Clayhill stream is ephemeral and
drains an impervious (Weald Clay) catchment. Land use: almost exclusively rural
with considerable woodland and scattered settlements. | Ephemeral river;
zero flows common in dry years. Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Crump profile weir. Primarily an impervious catchment. Minor flow regulation
associated with upstream mill. Flashy response caused by steep clay topography
in the upper catchment. | Crump profile weir (crest 7.05m broad). |
Crest tapping present (not currently used as area is very sandy and blocks
easily but when in operation reduction factors of 0.8 assessed for high flows).
Structure limit (from 1974 records) 1.95m / 41.49 cumecs. However, one or two
floods have an appreciable crest tapping level, giving reduction factors of 0.8.
All but highest flows modular. Footbridge just upstream of weir crest can
control flow - effectively limits the free water surface at 1.95m. Some
bypassing in exceptional floods. Good current meter record. Rating confirmed to
10 cumecs by gaugings but footbridge can control flows above ~40 cumecs. One
peak flow rating applied across period of record. Developed using slope-area
method for the lowest stage and ISIS modelling for the remaining flow range;
confirmed to 14 m3s-1 with spot flow gaugings. Some bypassing in exceptional
floods. | Data estimated for Nov 2000 - Jan 2001. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
The River Lod originates to the northwest of Fernhurst and flows southeast
to the confluence with the River Rother east of Midhurst in Selham. Primarily an
impervious catchment with Weald Clay more extensive than pervious Lower
Greensand. A Greensand band exists just upstream of the station. The underlying
geology comprises Hythe Beds composed of sandstones, siltstones & clays.
Rural with considerable woodland. No significant catchment changes known. |
Very responsive regime caused by steep clay topography in the upper
catchment. The more permeable components feed springs that provide the baseflow
for the tributary headwaters. Flows are natural with a small net export of water
due to groundwater abstraction. Minor flow regulation associated with upstream
mill. |

Flat-V weir gauging an ephemeral stream in a permeable catchment.
Baseflow-dominated regime affected by significant groundwater abstraction. |
Flat-V weir (crest width 5.0 m, cross-slope 1:10, maximum head 1m, capacity
6 cumecs). The River Lavant has a long history of flooding, the last major
events occurring in 1960, 1994-5 and 2000. | Bypassing during extreme
events (e.g. Jan 1994 and Nov 2000 when peaks were ~8 cumecs - based on
current-meter gaugings). November 2000 event was gauged at 7.925 m3/s; bypassing
of the gauge occurred at this time with further groundwater issuing from banks
into the stream downstream of the gauge. Severe weed growth especially during
summer can cause structure to drown out if not cleared. Structure suffers from
velocity problems (underestimation of flow) at higher flows but this has been
gauged. Gauge board had levelling problems in the past, this was amended
following the rating review, May 2003. Major channel works carried out for Flood
Alleviation scheme after 1994 flood; review in 2003 suggested rating should
change in 1994 to accommodate channel clearance work. Two ratings applied across
period of record, the most recent is valid from August-1994. Hydraulic modelling
was used to derive upper limbs of the current rating. | Extended periods
with zero flow as the stream is spring fed, which can give very low AMAX flows
and no POT data are presented. Some years no flow altogether (e.g. WY1995/1996
and WY1996/1997). During summer 1963, low and medium flows were gauged by
current meter on portable rods at weekly intervals until the Lavant dried up;
gauging was continued on the downstream side of the Marsh Lane Bridge. Complete
flow record from the 1970s. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | The Lavant is an
ephemeral stream within a permeable catchment, with an upper steep chalk
catchment on the South Downs above Westhampnett and a flat, gravel plain lower
catchment. Land use is agricultural with significant woodland in the upper
catchment; the lower catchment is far more developed, especially close to
Graylingwell and Chichester. Church Farm Pit, a water filled worked out gravel
pit, is a good indicator of groundwater levels in the lower catchment. The
oldest known continuous groundwater level record exists at Chilgrove House,
within the catchment. This record, dating back to 1836, gives early warning of
flood flows for Chichester. | A winterbourne stream with
baseflow-dominated regime but spring outflows can increase dramatically
following exceptional rainfall. Runoff is substantially reduced by groundwater
abstraction. Flood alleviation scheme for Chichester had been completed
sufficiently by 1992-93 for water to be taken from the Lavant downstream of the
weir, through culverts to Church Farm Pit, through Forebridge Rife and
discharged to Pagham Harbour through Pagham Rife. The oldest known continuous
groundwater level record exists at Chilgrove House, within the catchment. This
record, dating back to 1836, gives early warning of flood flows for Chichester.
The area to the east and south of Chichester has undergone large scale gravel
extraction over the past 50 years, leaving many worked out pits either filled in
and developed, or water filled. This has possibly enhanced groundwater levels as
the bulk flow is now confined to narrow corridors between former workings. |

Asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir gauging a river with very
responsive flow regime. Construction of an aqueduct u/s of the station may
affect flood flows in the future. | Asymmetrical compound Crump profile
weir, crest widths 2.0m and 4.0m. Located 50m upstream of road bridge, 20m
upstream of canal aqueduct (built 2002). Upstream of the gauging station the
river winds across the floodplain, the embankment of the Wey & Arun Canal
(situated on the left edge of the flood plain) acts to reduce the floodplain.
Downstream of the gauge the river narrows & meanders sharply across the
floodplain. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Crest tapping present, no detectable fall across the crest.
Structure insensitive at very low flows. Loxwood Stream is susceptible to
siltation (e.g. in 2005). Approx. 150m downstream of the gauge a box culvert
exists (5.3m wide, 2.9m high); this possibly has a smaller capacity than the
gauge and may raise tailwater levels at the gauge. Full range - all but extreme
flows contained; side bunds rise from the wing walls to give station capacity of
~57cumecs and contain larger flood events, forcing water through the gauging
point - designed to overtop during very large events. Rated up to 149 cumecs
although structure drowns at ~0.7m, invalidating rating on occasion (may result
from construction of an aqueduct downstream; high levels in the Arun can also be
a factor). One rating applied across period of record. Current rating uses
hydraulic modelling beyond modular limit (0.7m) although it fits poorly to
available gaugings. | Data estimated for Oct-Nov 1985. May-Oct 2005 flows
are suspect due to siltation. Annual minimum (and 2004-06 drought minimum) in
Oct 2005 accurate owing to flushing of stilling well. | A rural catchment
composed predominantly of Weald Clay, with Lower Greensand, Hythe Sandstone
& Atherfield Clay outcropping along the western & north-western
watershed. The Weald Clay is mainly argillaceous but includes subordinate
sandstones & silts. | Very responsive flow regime. Abstractions and
discharges have a negligible impact on overall runoff but occasional anomalous
behaviour at low flow. Aqueduct may affect flood flows in the future, as it
restricts the downstream floodplain although at present it has been difficult to
estimate its effect on flows, it may increase drowning. |

Crump profile weir gauging a relatively undisturbed catchment with limited
impact of abstractions and discharges. | Crump profile weir, crest 3.5m
broad, for low and medium flows. Velocity area calibration for high flows.
Removed from peak flows dataset in May 2016 (WINFAP Files v4). | Weir has
very good, straight approach conditions, but becomes non-modular fairly quickly
(approx. 0.5m / 2.65 cumecs). All flows contained - training banks were
constructed when the station was built. New crest installed summer 2002, level
remained the same. Good performance at low flows. Cableway was planned but never
constructed, so velocity-area calibration for high flows has ceased and is
incomplete; few check gaugings available due to issues of accessibility. |
Nearly complete record, some years of partial data. High flows historically
and continuing to be truncated at ~8 cumecs. | Geology is mixed, chiefly
Hastings Beds; Also Ashdown Sands, Wadhurst Clay, Tunbridge Wells Sand.
Catchment is almost half and half naturally impervious, and pervious with some
mixed or intermediately pervious types. A rural catchment, mixed agriculture
with considerable areas of woodland. Ardingley reservoir constructed in the
catchment, completed 1978. | Undisturbed catchment, although some
abstraction for public water supply (limited impact of abstractions and
discharges on river flow; small net loss). OUSENAT flow naturalisation scheme
1992-1996. |

Crump profile weir draining a predominantly Chalk catchment in the
headwaters. Regime is responsive but dominated by baseflow. | Crump
profile weir, crest 5m broad. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Large capacity structure, but modular limit is ~0.7m.
Problem of drowning illustrated by spot flow data, 2003 rating review suggests
due to road bridge 0.27 km downstream. This is thought to act as the hydraulic
control at high flows. Downstream silt deposition during floods can occasionally
cause temporary drowning also, however is soon removed by re-suspension under
normal flows. Crest tapping present but not currently used. Bridge across centre
of weir, not good for gaugings but good for maintenance. Hysteresis problems
experienced at the site. Downstream head recorder installed, used to correct
data for backwater effects. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Rating derived from hydraulic modelling, mid-range gaugings suggest that
the rating is seriously overestimating flows, but also some gaugings
underestimate flows. | Flows > 6 cumecs should be treated with
caution. | Geology is mixed, Chalk predominates in the headwaters. Upper
Greensand, Gault Clay, Folkestone Beds, Sandgate Beds & Hythe Beds also
present. Half of the catchment naturally impervious, half pervious. Land use
predominantly rural with large woodland tracts and significant urban development
in the lower catchment. | Significant baseflow but responsive regime.
Abstractions and discharges have a minor impact on flows - small net loss.
Runoff is increased by effluent returns; station is adjacent to sewage works at
Petersfield UDC. |

The station was refurbished between July 2004 and December 2004 and the
separate flume and weir were replaced with a combined concrete structure. Weed
growth downstream can be a problem at high flows. Very responsive regime but
with spring-fed baseflow. | Central notch for summer/low flows inside a
higher wider weir section for winter/high flows, total width approx 3.36m.
Located 100m downstream of Chess Bridge. Prior to 2004, the station consisted of
two separate structures - rectangular flume and compound thin-plate weir, the
weir was lowered into the flume for low flows (normally in place May to
November). Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Flows remain modular at all but highest flows, when structure
suffers from drowning and significant bypassing. Weed growth downstream can be a
problem at high flows, although the drop over the weir crest is generally
sufficient to prevent drowning at normal flows. Downstream water levels are not
recorded at the station, it has been assumed in the past. Multiple ratings
applied across period of record. Pre 2004 theoretical ratings for summer and
winter applied. Post 2004, when a combined concrete structure was installed, a
combined rating has been applied. Few gaugings available to confirm rating. |
Some partial data in 1980's and 1990's. Pre-1994 station design resulted in
some discontinuities in processed flows. | Very mixed geology; the Chess
Stream rises on the Chalk scarp of the South downs but lower catchment is
largely impervious clay. Agriculture is the predominant land use; small but
increasing urban fraction. Chalk outcropping along the southern watershed
provides baseflow. | Very responsive regime but with spring-fed baseflow.
No significant abstractions, very minor effluent contribution to runoff from
sewage treatment works upstream. Upstream penstock operation can influence flow.
Natural to within 10% at Q95. Possible irrigation abstraction upstream during
summer months. |

Flat-V weir, constructed in 1978. | Flat-V weir, (crest width: 5m,
cross-slope 1:10). Both upstream and downstream stilling wells present, but only
upstream well still in use. | Theoretically rated, all flows contained by
structure and upstream by artificial embankment; very good high flow
performance. Not many gaugings due to site access difficulties at high flows;
downstream fields inundated as river goes out of bank. Some eddying immediately
upstream of structure causes occasional reverse flows. | Data estimated
for Feb-Apr 2001, in place of missing data due to Foot & Mouth restrictions.
Jun 1989 flows under review. | Rural catchment draining the High Weald.
Mixed geology. | An essentially natural and responsive flow regime with
minimal abstraction. |

Flat-V weir installed 1991, 250m upstream of the M27 river crossing. Flashy
response but with appreciable baseflow. | Flat-V weir (1:10 cross slope, 6
m wide) installed 1991, 250m upstream of the M27 river crossing. Replaced a
compound critical depth flume with total crest width 4.8m, comprising central
low flow channel and two side channels (0.39 m above central channel) which
operated from 0.567 m3/s and was occasionally blocked by debris. | Modular
limit 1.0m, stage peaks truncated at ~20 cumecs; weir drowns. Numerous potential
bypassing locations u/s of the gauge; bypassing occurs before water level
reaches the top of wing walls. Upstream of the station floodplain is typically
less than 150m wide and river meanders from one side to the other. Flooding
exacerbated by Wallington Bridge 1km d/s of the weir, and spring tides can
extend u/s of the bridge. Between the gauge and M27 crossing the river consists
of a series of interconnected pools with mobile channel bed, considerable bank
erosion and debris in the channel. A 3m section of bank u/s of the station has
been stabilised with rock and concrete, the d/s bank has been stabilised with
loose rock covered by fencing. Bridge across weir can make current meter
measurement difficult in flood flows. Two peak flow ratings applied across
period of record, the most recent is valid from November-1991. Current rating
developed from hydraulic model and confirmed by gaugings. | Peak flow data
only available from October 1976 onwards. Pre-1991, flows were truncated at ~10
cumecs (due to bypassing via the upstream eastern bank) and estimated using
42003. No data 20/07/91-03/12/91 due to station reconstruction. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Permeable headwaters (Chalk) with impervious Eocene clays
dominating below the headwaters. Upper Chalk with isolated patches of
clay-with-flints covers northern half of catchment & a narrow belt on
Southern boundary. Reading Beds (predominantly clays), London Clay, Bagshot Sand
& Bracklesham Beds (sands & clays) occur between the two chalk outcrops,
with alluvium dominating the valleys. On leaving the central basin the river
cuts through the edge of the Portsdown Chalk ridge and flows over Tertiary clays
into the sea. A largely rural catchment, but with an expanding developed area
encompassing Waterlooville, Denmead & Purbrook in the headwaters. |
Flashy response but with appreciable baseflow - zero flow in 1976 only.
Groundwater catchment smaller than topographic catchment. In the upper
catchment, runoff is negligible, except during wet winters when the bournes or
lavants (seasonal streams) are running. Ground water abstraction causes a net
diminution in runoff. Spray irrigation can significantly reduce summer flows. No
direct surface water abstractions. Runoff from M27 motorway, 200m downstream of
weir. Springs at Havant derive water from the Wallington area, therefore the
Wallington is not typical of the area as a whole. |

Compound rectangular thin-plate weir installed in 1996, replacing original
station from 1959. Catchment drains the New Forest with a responsive regime and
limited baseflow. | Compound rectangular thin-plate weir, width 7.3m,
installed in 1996; channel geometry and course immediately upstream
straightened, but no change in hydrological regime or characteristics. Pre-1996:
a thin-plate weir with V-notch (no divide piers) - total breadth 8.48m -
primarily for low and medium flows. Installed with punch-tape recorder which
provided flows from theoretical relationship. No stage records available until
digital logger installed in 1982. Flood Studies Report Grade E for pre-1996
structure. | Flood water bypasses the station in several braided channels
through the forest - photo 6 shows typical high flows on the Lymington through
the forest. Water goes out of bank during highest flows most years. Two ratings
applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from October-1996 when
new weir built. Rating based on spot flow gaugings with all high flow gaugings
for new weir (up to ~30 cumecs). High flows gauged upstream where bypassing does
not occur. Reasonably confident in current rating. | Peak flow data for
pre-1996 are not provided; little confidence in flows above 7 m3/s. Historic
lack of homogeneity at high flows (bypassing occurs above 7 cumecs and most
pre-1980 flows truncated at ~10 cumecs) but high flow rating now in place and
performs well. Original station opened in Feb 1959, but intermittent record
until Oct 1960. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Principally an impervious catchment
(Tertiary clay; sand and gravel), overlain between the valleys by extensive
sheets of plateau gravels. A quarter of the catchment is naturally impervious,
the remainder is divided between mixed or intermediate permeability and
naturally pervious. This is the only catchment in Hampshire with barely any
chalk. Large tracts of heathland and forest with valley bogs in the New Forest.
Land use mainly pasture with scattered small settlements; Brockenhurst is the
only significant town. Large areas on either side of the channel are under water
during high flows and the waterway through the 'forest' is almost impossible to
assess. | Responsive regime with limited baseflow. Artificial influences
have a negligible impact on flows but land drainage has a long history within
the catchment (and some wetland restoration began in 1997). A very small sewage
works at Brockenhurst is insignificant. Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Velocity area station, affected by severe weed growth and uneven velocity
distribution. | Velocity area station. | Difficult to calibrate -
severe weed growth and an uneven velocity distribution, but adequate at low
flows. Hence flows from adjacent electromagnetic station (42013) often used to
estimate or infill the Broadlands record. Six M27 motorway bridges capture all
flow in River Test, even at high flows, using ultrasonic gauges. | Daily
mean flow series calculated from daily mean stage rather than 15-min flows. As
such, instantaneous peak flows unavailable. Flows can exceed 30 cumecs in very
wet winters, e.g. 2000/01 and 1960/61 (when flows estimated). | Highly
permeable catchment (mostly Chalk) but with some Tertiary deposits and some
patchy Drift cover - alluvium in the lower valley. Downland given over largely
to agriculture with a few urban centres. | Baseflow dominated regime but
some rapid runoff from the lower reaches of the Dun catchment. Topographic
catchment slightly exceeds the drainage area. Considerable fish farming activity
but sensibly natural flow regime. |

Rectangular thin plate weir draining an entirely pervious Chalk catchment.
Runoff is influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. | Rectangular
thin plate weir without end contractions. Station closed for peak flows in July
2012. | Wide chalk stream with bypassing at very high groundwater levels,
but generally a good flow range. Crest length previously thought to be 4.87m,
but confirmed as 6.009m in early 2002. Downstream weed growth can raise
tailwater levels. Upper limit of the weir 0.3m, maximum flow measurable 1.812
cumecs. Bypassing occurs at exceptionally high flows. Upper limit of the chart
recorder has been exceeded on two occasions (late 1960 floods). Single rating
applied across period of record. Few gaugings exist but confirm rating to 0.13m.
Flood Studies Report grade B. | All flows recalculated following
confirmation of crest length (2002). Flows estimated during late 1960 floods
(when chart recorder limit exceeded). Sporadic missing data 1992 - 1997 due to
recording problems. Site has a long record; some data 1955 to present, digital
data 1986 to present. Data infilled from Bossington from 01/01/07 to
02/01/08. | The Wallop Brook drains a completely pervious catchment
composed entirely of Upper Chalk with very little cover of clay-with-flint.
Topographical catchment exceeds the groundwater catchment, which may be only 36
sq km. Typical open downland of a rural character, the 'Wallops' are the only
significant settlements. Increasing urbanisation within the catchment. |
Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge - PWS borehole 1km
upstream. Some spray irrigation has a minor impact. |

Flat-V weir draining a predominantly permeable catchment. Flow regime more
flashy than nearby Test and Itchen due to some areas of lower permeability. |
Flat-V weir (breadth: 6.6m, theoretically rated - also gauged to 0.56m)
upstream of a small five-arch bridge. Superseded (in November 2000) a critical
depth flume (breadth: 3.66m, theoretical rating - flow limit: 5.7 cumecs). The
flume was infrequently bypassed via the upstream left bank at flows above
0.77m. | Artificial embankment on left bank keeps flows fairly well
contained, although water ponds on adjacent fields but without bypassing. Weed
growth immediately upstream does not affect gauging station. Weir can suffer
from weed growth on the crest and movement of stream bed in the upstream
channel. Upstream channel conditions are not ideal for gauging. Since weir
constructed in 2000, theoretical rating based on hydraulic calculations is
applied. Present structure check-gauged to 0.83m. Previous structure
(rectangular critical depth flume) was also rated theoretically. | Data
missing during rebuilding phase for new weir (completed November 2000). Some
stage data missing during Dec 2000 flood but ~11 cumecs gauging completed near
peak. Before Nov 1982 flows were recorded directly on the chart. Levels recorded
from Nov 1982. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | River Meon down to Mislingford is a
groundwater-dominated chalk stream although flows are relatively more variable
than the Test and Itchen due to its hydrogeological setting and elevation above
sea level. Predominantly permeable catchment, nearly all Chalk (pervious) but
considerable outcrops of the less permeable Lower & Middle Chalk, causing a
flashy response. Some superficial cover. Impervious Reading beds in the south. A
rural catchment with some uncultivated downland and scattered settlements. |
Groundwater abstraction has noticeable impact on flow regime; small net
export of water from the catchment. |

Combination of flows from main and side weir on the largest tributary on the
Itchen. Gauges a predominantly Chalk catchment with baseflow dominated
regime. | Combination of a main weir (2.5m wide Crump) and side weir (1.5m
wide Crump). | Bypassing occurs on the side weir component, but across the
combined record bypassing is not significant. Using the two gauges flood flows
are contained. Monthly current meter gaugings available from 1956. Theoretical
ratings for both Crump weirs. | Total flow obtained by recording the
annual maximum on the large weir & then deriving the appropriate level on
the smaller side weir. Annual maxima largely derived by taking highest stage on
2.5m weir and using highest stage on corresponding day at 1.5m weir. Pre-1979
data available from main weir only and therefore peak flows are marked as
rejected. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | The River Alre is the largest
tributary of the River Itchen. Principally a permeable catchment (Upper Chalk
overlain in patches by clay-with-flints). Groundwater catchment area
substantially exceeds topographical catchment area. Rural character - rolling
downland of mixed farming; some woodland. Very limited urbanisation - but
concentrated near to the gauging station. | Baseflow-dominated regime with
narrow flow range but local surface runoff can generate very transitory peaks.
From 1989, groundwater augmentation during drought conditions. Extensive
watercress beds may attenuate flood flows. Spray irrigation may affect flows.
Artesian wells present in catchment. Alre receives sewage from Alresford to
Otford. |

Crump profile weir measuring a permaeable catchment with very stable flow
regime. Surface runoff can generate minor hydrograph spikes. | Granite
crested Crump profile weir (crest width 3.0m), with an approach channel approx.
2.6 times the crest width. | Good hydrometric performance, all flows
contained but drowns at high flows (e.g. 2000) due to backing up from confluence
with larger channel downstream. Downstream level recorder installed. Corrections
made for algal growth noted on sill. Some sand deposits in approach channel.
Possible downstream weed problems, unless cut regularly (regular cutting in
past). Theoretical rating for a Crump weir. Confirmed by spot flows to 0.45m and
probably valid to bankfull (0.77m). | A monthly series of gaugings
available from the measuring authority from 1956. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | A
very permeable (Upper Chalk) catchment - isolated patches of Clay-with-Flints
occur on high ground. Rural land use; arable, with considerable downland and
woodland areas (but Alresford is adjacent to the station). Contributing area
differs considerably from topographical catchment. | The Cheriton Stream
is ephemeral in its upper reaches. Very stable regime (surface runoff can
generate minor hydrograph spikes). Low flows influenced by neighbouring River
Itchen augmentation scheme (from 1989), which causes a slight reduction in
discharge. Industrial abstraction & cress farming may have a small influence
on flows. |

Crump profile weir draining unresponsive Chalk catchment. Runoff influenced
by groundwater abstraction and Itchen groundwater augmentation scheme. |
Crump profile weir (crest: 2.99m broad) located 100m downstream of
bridge. | Upper stage limit 0.95m, modular throughout the range. All flows
contained and no bypassing. Good record. Theoretical rating for Crump weir. No
rating for natural section pre-1970. Confirmed by gaugings to 0.47m. |
Frequent spikes appear on trace from March 1974 probably due to opening of
cress beds immediately upstream. Monthly gaugings available from 1956, prior to
weir construction. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Groundwater & topographical
catchments differ considerably. An unresponsive catchment; Upper Chalk with some
patches of superficial deposits such as clay-with-flint, 100% pervious. Many
perennial springs, often supporting cress beds. Predominantly rural land use
with some woodland. | Runoff reduced by surface and groundwater
abstractions. Impact of Itchen groundwater augmentation scheme is important in
notable droughts e.g. 1976, 1989, 2005, 2011 and dry summers e.g. 1989. Spray
irrigation. |

Combination of flows from two stations at Highbridge and Allbrook. Gauges a
predominantly Chalk catchment with baseflow dominated regime and complex water
utilisation. | Combination of flows from main weir (4.75m Crump) and side
weir (1m Crump). Full range station. Since 2017 the side channel is routinely
drowned due to weed growth in the channel downstream of the weir. |
Combined site contains most flows (rare bypassing resulted from wrong sluice
settings). Bypassing very rare, including in Dec 2000 - remarkable peak flow
confirmed by gauging; good performance across flow regime. Both sites gauged up
to 100-150% above what had previously been gauged in the 2000 event. River banks
are very low, typically 20-30cm, summer levels often higher than winter due to
weeding. However, flooding on any scale is rare. Both weirs rated theoretically
and ratings confirmed by gaugings. | Flows for Allbrook for Nov/Dec 1993
were estimated due to fish pass construction. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | The River
Itchen rises from springs above Alresford, its 3 main tributaries are the
Candover Stream, Cheriton Stream & the River Alre. River Itchen begins at
their confluence above Alresford. Very permeable catchment (<10% mixed
permeability). Mostly Chalk, with sparse clay-with-flints cover on the eastern
border. Tertiary deposits, mostly clay, overlie chalk at southern end of
catchment. Groundwater catchment (~490 sq. km), exceeds topographical catchment
(360 sq. km). Land use mainly arable with scattered settlements (but Winchester
is just upstream). Digital catchment created from separate DTM-derived
catchments for compound structure sites. | Baseflow-dominated regime.
Groundwater augmentation possible during droughts, but has never been used.
Artificial influences (groundwater abstractions, cress farms) have moderate but
increasing impact on regime. Small net export of water. A new flow condition at
a major abstraction at Otterbourne upstream will reduce abstraction in drought
years from 2018 and close it entirely once in 150 years. Flow augmentation from
groundwater during droughts, a 2nd augmentation scheme (Candover) was developed
in 1976, importing groundwater from the Alre catchment. Reinstated in 1989
drought, contributing about 0.15 cumecs to the Itchen flows. FIRAS augmentation
scheme from 1989 provided groundwater support (derived from the Alre
sub-catchment), estimated to have increased flows at Highbridge by 0.46 cumecs.
Groundwater abstractions for public water supply & cress farms have minor,
but increasing impact on baseflow dominated regime; small net export of water.
Strong fishing influence on river management, the Itchen one of the country's
premier game fishing rivers. 2 common hatch sluice gates 750m upstream of site,
release water from the navigation channel, to regulate water levels in the old
canal. Culvert between Allbrook & Highbridge spills water into the flood
plain causing bypassing at approx. 0.5 cumecs - plans in place to halt
this. |

Crump profile weir in flume section, subject to local bypassing during flood
flows. Substantial baseflow but lower catchment is very responsive. Flows
significantly reduced by groundwater abstraction for public water supply and
irrigation. | Crump profile weir, crest width 3.03m, in flume
section. | Channel bend upstream with sharp transition curve just above
the structure; crest plate to weir; but no crest tapping. Brick walls to the
structure with sheet piling beside the channel downstream; some detachment of
concrete surface on downstream apron of weir. Upper stage limit 1.0m. New
calibration derived (2003) - low confidence in flows > 9.6 cumecs (relatively
rare). One rating applied across period of record derived from hydraulic
modelling. Gauged to 0.5m with bypassing expected at 1.2m. | Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | A predominantly permeable (Chalk) catchment with some areas of
Reading Beds. The upper reaches of the Hamble are ephemeral. Land use is mainly
rural - significant urban development in the lower catchment. | Flows
significantly reduced by groundwater abstraction for public water supply and

weirs both rated using Crump weir hydraulic calculations. | Annual maxima
post-1981 derived by taking highest stage on main weir and using highest stage
on corresponding day at side weir. Pre-1981, only data from 4.75m weir
available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | The groundwater catchment exceeds the
topographical catchment area. An unresponsive (Chalk) catchment of rolling
downland - the upper reaches of the Anton are ephemeral. Land use is rural with
some expanding urban centres - Andover is 5km upstream. | Natural to
within 10% at the 95 percentile flow. Baseflow-dominated regime but surface
runoff can generate short-lived events. Significant groundwater abstraction.
Water levels influenced by local mill sluice operation and, in the summer, by
eel-traps. Cress beds in headwaters. |

Crump weir with velocity area for higher flows gauging a predominantly
rural, natural catchment. | Crump profile weir, crest width 6.16m, with
pressure transducer downstream. Located 10km upstream of the confluence of the
River Blackwater with the River Test. Stage measured in stilling well inside hut
on upstream side of weir. Downstream stage stopped being recorded in 2009. |
The weir crest has a 1cm variation which does not conform to British
Standard guidelines, the gauge is not within a straight section of channel and
the channel turns sharply downstream to pass under the A3090 culvert. Velocity
area calibration used for medium and high flows up to 1.85m (approx. 10 cumecs);
includes allowance for floodplain discharge. No bypassing occurs at the culvert
50m downstream. There is also a small footbridge 100m downstream and another
1.5m upstream where water spills out of bank long before the soffit level is
reached (1.31m stage). The channel in the vicinity of the gauge has vertical
sheet piling - this continues, along with concrete banks, to the downstream
culvert. Silt islands with vegetation growing on them exist in the channel.
Significant vegetation growth directly upstream and downstream (sharp bend) of
station; requires significant flood event to clear channel. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Hydraulic modelling used to extended rating to
3.1m stage, fits gaugings well. | Good record since the late 1970s. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | Predominantly rural catchment of meadows, woodland and heath
underlain by Tertiary sands, gravels and clays (mainly impervious in the lower
catchment). The catchment includes numerous small and medium sized towns in the
area between Southampton & Salisbury. The River Blackwater drains the
catchment in a south easterly direction. The river meanders across the
floodplain & then below the A3090 dual carriageway. | A responsive
catchment. Negligible net impact of artificial influences (cress beds in
headwaters and very minor amount of spray irrigation. Natural to within 10% at
Q95. |

Electromagnetic gauging station with insulated bed. | Installed 1983 -
calibration confirmed by current-meter. Superseded a velocity-area station
heavily affected by weed growth; weekly weed cutting can be necessary. Slight
narrowing of channel upstream of section to flush out gravel and maintain a
clear section. This has caused a small riffle in the centre of the section. |
Ultrasonics employed as backup and for high flows at same site; performs
well at high flows. Limited stage and velocity range makes for effective
operation. As the hut is near the bridge and not near the gauging station there
are problems with signal degradation during transfer between the two
locations. | | A predominantly Chalk catchment with significant
patches of superficial deposits. Largely rural with some woodland and scattered
settlements. | Largely natural baseflow-dominated regime (some abstraction
for cress beds) but groundwater augmentation during severe droughts. |

Velocity area station in a concrete trapezoidal section within a formalised
reach. Station gauges a mainly impervious catchment, typical hydrograph very
flashy. Post-2003 complex water utilisation affects flows. | Velocity area
station, 5.36m wide in a concrete trapezoidal section. Formalised reach with
grass berms beneath a bridge; concrete block wall higher on outside of bend on
right bank. | Structure designed to measure up to 14 cumecs; all but
exceptional flows contained and structure only exceeded a few times since
installation. Bridge downstream may cause some backing up. Trolleys often thrown
into stream here. Very sensitive at low flows, to extent where anomalous flow
patterns occur (e.g. 2008); despite low flow anomalies, weed growth is not an
issue at this station (very poor site ecologically). In 1951 a step was inserted
into the flume throat to ensure modularity over the whole flow range, as the
channel downstream was unlined. This was removed in 1956 and the structure
became non-modular for low flows. One rating applied across period of record.
Rating theoretically based but numerous current meter gaugings for this
site. | Chart stage record extends back to 1953 providing peak flows
pre-1979. June-August 2000 flows considered suspect. Station was possibly
abandoned for a short duration around 1974. In winter of 1961, there existed a
long period of high baseflow where the contribution from the Lavant catchment
may have been greater. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A mainly impervious
catchment, principally Reading Beds and London Clay. Intensive suburban
development since the early 1960s, lower catchment now heavily urbanised. |
Typical hydrograph very flashy; responsive regime. Natural to within 10% at
Q95. Post-2003, some augmentation of high flows by runoff from the adjacent
catchment of the Lavant Stream. Flow is diverted via a pipe into the Hermitage
Stream, whenever the flow in the Lavant exceeds 0.28 cumecs. These inter-basin
transfers also affect medium/low flows (e.g. 2006). Storage effect introduced to
allow separation runoff from nearby Warren housing estate. Developers arranged 6
hour storage of natural stream runoff before its release into the Hermitage
Stream (by which time the hydrograph is on the recession limb). Estate surface
water drains allow unfettered discharge. |

Velocity area station with issues across the flow range. | Velocity
area station in concrete channel to speed water through residential estate.
Hydrological research (mostly in the headwaters) undertaken initially by
Southampton University. | At high flows, water can back up from downstream
bridge. All flows estimated; no stable stage-discharge relationship due to
moving gravel bed / sand bar downstream of stage measuring instrument, control
shifts during every high flow event. Spot flow measurements taken from upstream
bridge used to edit data. Limited sensitivity at low flows, not full range
station. | Period of record flows under review due to complex issues
relating to level measurement and stage drifting. Calibration ongoing - treat
high flows with caution. | Linear catchment with rural headwaters;
considerable woodland, but urbanised in lower reaches (Romsey). A largely

Ultrasonic gauging station (multi-path with reflector). | Ultrasonic
gauging station (multi-path with reflector). Gauge replaced in 2008 and data
produced are now good. | Problems in period of record data caused by
clogging of ultrasonics by weed growth; Tidal effects occasionally evident
(dependant on downstream sluice operation). | | Principally a
rural, Chalk catchment but with appreciable urban growth near the outfall (where
impervious Tertiary formations predominate). | Flows artificially
influenced by two 45 megalitres/day surface water abstractions at Gaters Mill
and Otterbourne and a large sewage treatment works discharge at Eastleigh.
Groundwater augmentation (in headwaters) can be important. |

Combined site consisting of East Mills Weir and East Mills Flume. |
Combined site consisting East Mills Weir (43811) and East Mills Flume
(43810). Weir is a compound Crump profile weir with central notch fish pass.
Flume consists of a critical depth rectangular flume. | This station is a
combined site consisting of East Mills Weir and East Mills Flume. High flows for
both structures gauged from Fordingbridge bypass road bridge until 2002.
Bypassing was previously an issue but re-rating has been carried out at both
structures. Combined flows for the 2 structures are produced by summing
individual flows under 40cumecs. Above 40cumecs combined flows are derived from
a rating fitted to gaugings which takes the bypassing into account. Managed weed
growth within d/s channel can cause non-modularity at flume and affects weir
flows; since 01/01/2012 flows have been measured during times of non-modularity
using a ADCP. Gaugings have proven it to be an accurate way of measuring flow at
this site. Small irrigation carrier 3km upstream at Burgate bypasses gauge
(normally <3% total flow). | Water year 1966/1967 rejected due to high
uncertainty of flow value. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Predominantly permeable
(Chalk) catchment. Land use is rural. No major catchment changes. | A
small irrigation carrier fed from the River Avon at Burgate about 2 miles
upstream bypasses the gauging station and is later returned to the main channel,
(normally >3% total flow). The abstraction controlled by one hatch. |

Crump weir on the River Bourne, upstream of confluence with River Avon.
Station closed in 2017. | Crump weir, crest 3m wide, approximately 1.6 km
upstream of confluence with River Avon. Station closed in 2017. | Bypass
channel upstream of gauging station and sluice operates year-round to give flow
to bypass channel year-round. Out-of-bank flow may occur just upstream of
station when flow exceeds 6 cumecs. Sluice fully opened at extreme high flows to
protect downstream bridge. Heavy weed growth during summer months, needs regular
maintenance. Theoretical original rating, recently re-calibrated at low flows.
One theoretical peak flow rating applied across period of record. Upper limit of
rating is 0.8m / 5.44m3/s. It is extrapolated beyond that limit. | Peak
flow data prior to 1992 are rejected due to unknown gate movements. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Predominantly permeable (Chalk) catchment. Land use rural with some
small settlements. River Bourne is ephemeral in its upper reaches. Garrison town
of Tidworth has developed in catchment. | Runoff natural to within 10% at
Q95. Operation of Winterbourne Gunner Mill about 3 miles upstream affects
discharge. |

Crump profile weir flanked by broad-crested weirs. Situated on the River
Avon. Full Range station. | Crump profile weir (crest 9.14m wide) flanked
by broad-crested weirs. | Full range station, a good gauge for high flow
analysis .No known out of bank bypassing. Observed to be fully modular at
0.986m. Small bypass channel approx. 2m u/s of weir - included in rating. Weed
growth downstream of the weir has in very exceptional summers been known to
cause non-modularity. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record.
Re-rated in 2001 to include exceptional 12/2000 event and applied to whole
period of record. The EA are very confident of the stage-discharge relationship.
Good high flow rating based on current meter gaugings. Upper limit of rating is
1m / 26.3 cumecs. It is extrapolated beyond that limit. | Peak flows prior
to 1987 are truncated and therefore rejected. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Predominantly permeable (Chalk) catchment with a small inlier of Upper
Greensand and Gault. The northern area of the catchment consists of a band of
Greensand between bands of lower chalk. The rest of the catchment is composed of
upper Chalk. Land use is rural. Topographical and groundwater catchments do not
coincide. No major changes. | Some groundwater pumping influences flows.
During summer, flows are naturally augmented from groundwater draining from
northern half of the River Bourne catchment. |

Crump weir on the River Nadder. | Crump weir, crest 18.3m wide. |
Crest tapping abandoned after first few months; modular limit (0.6m) seldom
reached, although weir can drown at very high flows. Bypassing is minor. Banks
very weedy during summer. Rare weed clearance can lead to significant u/s
constriction. Minor bypass. Gaugings taken 50-100m upstream, previously taken at
Bull Bridge. Single theoretical rating has been confirmed by spot gaugings at
high and low flows. Rating may underestimate in mid flow range. Upper limit of
rating is 0.48m/12.8cumecs. It is extrapolated beyond that limit. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | Mixed geological formation (Jurassic and Cretaceous) -
predominantly Chalk with Clays in upper catchment. Land use is rural. No major
catchment changes. | Natural to within 10% at Q95; some minor groundwater
pumping. Sluices and hatches can regulate flow for short periods. A small
drainage channel bypasses the recorder. |

Compound Crump profile weir on the River Stour. | Compound Crump
profile weir, centre crest 5m wide and 2 higher flanking crests 18m wide. |
Site unapproachable in flood conditions, gaugings can be problematic due to
the wide approach channel and weed growth. High flow gaugings carried out at New
Road Bridge (5km upstream) or Ensbury (4km upstream). Some combined gauging of
the Stour and Moors River has taken place at Blackwater Bridge (SZ 134 959).
Rating incorporates flow through two bypass channels just upstream of station:
mill channel and Lodden Stour with a good fit to gaugings. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record. Pre-1992 the rating was derived from weir
dimensions to produce a theoretical rating in the modular range (including two
small offtakes immediately upstream) with an extension for non-modular range
fitted to spot flow gaugings. Post-1992 the rating was derived from weir
dimensions for the main structure only (not offtakes) in the modular range and
fitted to gaugings above. | Peak flows rejected as unrepresentative of the
catchment from 2022-2023 because Large tree caught on weir for entire water
year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Mixed geology - predominantly Chalk (~50%); some
clay (~30%), limestone including Great Oolite series, Corallian and Cornbrash
(approx. 10%) and Upper Greensand (approx. 10%). Land use: rural and
agricultural. No major changes. | Substantial ground and surface water
abstractions including for public water supply. Runoff increased by effluent
returns from upstream waterworks. |

Crump profile weir, can be affected by summer weed growth. | Crump
profile weir, crest 10.7m broad. Full range station; opened in 1966. Subject to
drowning and bypassing at high discharges. | Sluice control upstream for
river regulation. Minor bypassing. Heavy weed growth during summer months. Good
data set with check gaugings confirming original rating. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Rating extended based on flood gaugings. Upper
limit of rating is 1.30m/42.3 cumecs. | There is lower confidence in flow
data before 1992, hence this data is marked as an unrepresentative period. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Predominantly Chalk;
Upper Greensand and Gault in upper catchment. Rural land use. No major catchment
changes. | Natural to within 10% at Q95. Direct abstraction from the river
for spray irrigation. Sluice control upstream for river regulation and
groundwater abstractions. |

Compound Crump weir situated on the River Stour. | Compound Crump
profile weir with low flow crest 6.1m wide, total breadth 18.3m. Structure
situated under road bridge. | Station drowns early. Water meadow system
operates - area floods during high discharges and becomes inaccessible. Modular
limit is unknown and probably seasonally variable. Severe weed growth.
Non-modularity observed at stage around 0.7m (~Q13). Station regularly bypassed
at approximately 2.3-2.6m (>Q2). Rating takes account for both of these
situations. In-channel gaugings are carried out at the site but out of bank
gaugings are taken at Stourpaine Bridge. Two peak flow ratings applied across
period of record. Pre-1992 rating is theoretical for weir up to 0.975m then
fitted to gaugings. Post-1992 rating is produced using dimensional surveys of
weir up to 0.717m, fitted to gaugings to 3.066m then modelled above. |
Only gauged back to 1992. Pre-1992 peaks are under recorded. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Predominantly impermeable (clay) catchment but with outcrops of
more permeable substrates. Oxford and Cambridge Clays upstream, Chalk
downstream. Rural land use. No major catchment changes. | Substantial
ground & surface water abstractions within catchment affect flow, including
abstraction for public water supply. Two water mills upstream may produce
hydrograph perturbations, particularly when mean flows are less than 300cumecs
(e.g. 11/1978). |

Ultrasonic station (replaced Crump weir in 2013) in a predominantly Chalk
catchment. Some abstractions / recharges influence the flow regime. |
Ultrasonic station installed at Loverley Farm in 2013 to replace Loverley
Mill Crump weir. Crump weir situated under old mill house, 1.84m wide. Built in
1969 for the specific purpose of measuring the low summer flows and later made
operational over the full flow range. | Good full-range station. Bypassing
occurs in very extreme events, between a stage of 0.6m and 0.7m (less than 10%).
Training banks upstream raised following bypassing in winter of 2000/01 and
2002/03. Hatches just u/s control flow, which bypasses the station, into an old
mill pond. Loverley Mill (Crump Weir): There is frequent hatch action and three
rating equations for various hatch settings; calculation of flows only possible
under finite hatch settings. They are largely unproven and therefore
theoretical. Comparison of flow with recent ultrasonic gauge show that in 2012
when both the hatches are closed the rating is good (less than 6% difference
between the 2 sites.) When 1 hatch is open the maximum difference between the
two sites goes up to 17% and when both hatches are open the maximum difference
between the two sites rises to 20%. | No stage data, or hatch opening
information, available prior to 1992, so early record POT and AMAX are rejected.
Digital POT and AMAX data (from 01/01/1992) are presented. Data from US station
begins 01/10/2013. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Predominantly Chalk catchment. Rural
land use. No major catchment changes. | Runoff reduced by public water
supply abstraction and influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge, but
increased by effluent returns. |

Crump profile weir on the River Wylye. | Crump profile weir, crest
6.09m broad. Full range station, theoretically rated. Station closed on
18/07/2024 due to modification of weir structure to aid fish passage, and is
being replaced by an ultrasonic gauge in a similar location. | Out-of-bank
flow may occur just upstream before bankfull at gauging station. Bypassing
occurs during very extreme events but is not a major issue. One theoretical
rating applied. Upper limit of rating is 0.41m, it is extrapolated beyond that
limit. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Geology is predominantly Chalk with Upper Greensand and Gault in higher
parts of catchment. The upper Greensand outcrops in the higher parts of the
catchment around Kilmington and further downstream between Norton Bavant and
Warminster there is a large outcrop of Upper Greensand associated with an
anticlinal structure trending east/west. To the south of this outcrop there is
an appreciable Chalk outcrop consisting mainly of Middle and Lower Chalk with
limited outcrops of Upper Chalk. Land use is rural. No major catchment
changes. | Some augmentation of flow. Substantial upstream groundwater
abstractions and hatcheries affect flow. |

Station on the River Mude in small, low relief catchment. | |
Station reopened with a Flat-V weir in 2003, previously a Crump weir. |
No gauged daily flow data available from 12-1983 to 01-2005. Lots of scatter
between gaugings and record, over reporting by 20-40%. | Small, low-relief
catchment. Geology adjacent to river mainly comprises alluvial deposits with
loam or clayey loam soils, remainder of catchment mainly gravels with
well-drained coarse loamy and sandy soils. Land-use is residential urban. |
Runoff reduced by public water supply abstraction. |

Station constructed early in 1970 at the confluence of the 2 branches of the
Upper Avon adjacent to West Avon at Upavon. Benchmark station. | Station
constructed early in 1970 at the confluence of the 2 branches of the Upper Avon.
Crump profile weir, crest 3.05m broad. Station adjacent to West Avon at Upavon
(43017); the two weirs gauge the two branches of the Avon immediately upstream
of their confluence at Upavon. Eel tiles and fish baffles installed in
2015. | Full range station, some limited bypassing but there has been no
validation. Weed growth not significant. Suspicion of small errors within the
stilling well caused by increased buoyancy of the counter weight when submerged
- may cause small errors in stage measurement in the order of a few mm's only.
No by-passing but adjacent pond was flooded (although not entering downstream
channel). Theoretical, original rating applies; very few spot gaugings
available. Upper limit of rating is 0.73m / 4.23 m3/s. It is extrapolated beyond
that limit. | 18/01/2011 - at a level of 0.728 the modularity was observed
at 60.6%. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Predominantly Upper Greensand and
Lower Chalk; river gravel and alluvium in valley bottom. The remainder consists
of Upper and Middle Chalk, Clay and some Gault. Upper Chalk and Clay form
northern and extreme southern borders of catchment. Land use is predominantly
pastoral and dairy farming. No major changes in catchment. | Natural to
within 10% at Q95. Benchmark catchment but agricultural abstractions increasing.
Occasional upstream hatch action. |

Crump weir on the West Avon. Adjacent station on the East Avon also gauges
flow as the two meet on the confluence at Upavon. | Crump profile weir,
crest 4.57m wide constructed just u/s of the confluence of the East and West
Avon just north of Upavon. Station adjacent to East Avon at Upavon (43014); the
two weirs gauge the two branches of the Avon immediately upstream of their
confluence at Upavon. | Full range station, no drowning but susceptible to
algal growth problems. Suspicion of small errors within the stilling well caused
by increased buoyancy of the counter weight when submerged - may cause small
errors in stage measurement in the order of a few millimeters only. Theoretical,
original rating; few high flow spot gaugings to confirm. Upper limit of rating
is 0.40m/2.46cumecs. It is extrapolated beyond that limit. | High flow on
18/01/2011 - level of 0.586m, modularity was observed at 83.5%. A hydraulic jump
was still present and there was no by-passing. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Predominantly Upper Greensand and Lower Chalk. Small amount of river gravel
and alluvium in valley bottom. The remaining geology consists of Upper and
Middle Chalk, Clay and some Gault. Upper Chalk and Clay form the northern and
extreme southern borders of the catchment. Rural land use. No major catchment
changes. | Minor groundwater abstractions in catchment. Frequent hatch
activity throughout the flow range with potential for exaggerated or false
peaks. |

Two crump profile weirs on main and secondary channel of the River
Allen. | Two Crump profile weirs: main channel weir crest 6.1m wide;
secondary weir in mill stream adjacent to main channel - 0.9m wide. Eel pass
added in 2018. | Weed growth occasionally causes structure to drown.
Passing occurs at high levels. Gauging on 08/02/13 found that the by-passed flow
measured 14% of the total flow. Generally rating looks good at high flows. One
theoretical, original rating which includes mill channel applied across period
of record. Upper limit of rating is 0.46m / 4.53 cumecs. It is extrapolated
beyond that limit. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Upper catchment - chalk,
lower catchment - sands, gravels and clays. Land use: predominantly rural. No
major changes. | Hatch activity u/s of station. Minor surface and
groundwater abstractions in catchment, some for public water supply.
Compensation discharge maintains low flows. |

Crump profile weir. | Crump profile weir, crest 3m wide. |
Reasonable rating up to QMED. Structure drowns before bankfull stage, flow
goes out-of-bank, and there is significant bypassing. Gauging is difficult and
gaugings > 5m3s-1 show substantial scatter; high flows unreliable - may be
significantly over-estimated. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Predominantly Kimmeridge Clay (70%), some Chalk (15%) and Upper Greensand
and Gault (15%) in the north of the catchment. Flat pasture land on both sides
of river. Runoff calculations suggest hydrological & topographical
catchments do not coincide. Runoff figures (may be over-estimated) suggest
topographical and hydrological catchment areas do not coincide. Substantial
baseflow component but flashy response to storm events. Land use is
predominantly agricultural. | Significant ground water pumping in
catchment. Some augmentation from effluent returns. |

Ultrasonic station with rectangular cross-section on main River Avon
channel. | | Ultrasonic station - dual cross path. Both banks are
piled and the bed is dredged to form a rectangular cross-section. Limited number
of flow readings logged per day up to 08-1988. Record improved from 1991 and now
very good when in bank. Monthly check gaugings confirm improved performance.
By-passing commences, in normal conditions, at about 41 cumecs. Above this an
equation has been derived, by carrying out extensive flow measurements of the
by-passing flow. On occasions, typically in an unusually wet spring/summer and
when aquatic weed growth in the channel is prolific, the by-passing can occur
below 41 cumec. Attempts to correct the recorded flow are carried out by taking
flow measurements of the by-passing. Some additional uncertainty is therefore
inevitable under these conditions. | | Mixed geology; predominantly
Chalk with sands, gravels and clays in the lower catchment. Land use is
rural. | Some abstraction for PWS in catchment. |

at 0.58m, mainly in summer due to weeds. Theoretical original rating until flow
becomes non-modular when upstream ultrasonic takes over (installed Sept 2002).
Prior to 09/2002, rating for the weir performs reasonably and was confirmed at
high flows by gaugings in 2000 event. Extrapolated above 0.4m. Frequently
non-modular between April and October due to downstream weed growth. Can bypass
at extremes. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released

Combined station consisting of East Stoke Flume and East Stoke Weir. |
Combined station consisting of East Stoke Flume and East Stoke Weir. |
East Stoke Flume, commissioned in 1961, is a three-part compound structure
of total width 10.9m, with wingwalls to 1.8m comprising of a rectangular
critical depth flume, 3.05m wide, bounded by two broad-crested weirs. Gaugings
taken when the station is bypassed are made downstream where all the flow is
confined. Flume drowns during high flows and low flows, at a stage which depends
on the downstream weed growth. For example non modularity was observed at a
stage of 0.776m in May 2009 but modularity was observed at 1.32m on 20/07/2012.
Borderline modularity was observed at 1.50m on 24/11/2012. A low flood bank
constructed on left bank confines flows up to a stage of ~1.3m (11cumecs), but
the station is bypassed above this level. This was confirmed by an observation
on 20/07/2012. East Stoke Weir (local no.445920), commissioned 1966, is a Crump
profile weir 3.6m wide on a bypass channel. Drowns at high flows. Bypassing
occurred in the summer of 2012 at a stage of 0.333m and in the winter of 2012 at
a stage of 0.497m. Currently unsure at what stage by-passing commences.
Bypassing towards flume channel just after flume channel confluence. Structure
limit of weir 4.36cumecs. Protected flow site combining East Stoke Flume (Rated
from gaugings) and East Stoke Weir (theoretical rating). | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Geology is mainly Chalk; Upper Greensand and Gault, Lias and
Oolites in headwaters; sands, gravels and clays in lower catchment. Rural land
use. No major catchment changes. | Runoff natural to within 10% at the 95
percentile flow. No abstractions of water from the river above the station, but
considerable quantities of water are abstracted from the chalk catchment area by
bore holes and wells. Flows sometimes affected by u/s research activity. The
proportion of flow passing through each station can be significantly altered by
the research activities of CEH Dorset. Data presented is from the digital
record, from 1991. |

Rectangular critical depth humped flume. | Rectangular critical depth
'humped' flume, 4.885m wide. Situated in left-hand bend of river. |
Cessation of weed cutting in upstream channel in 2009 has altered the
pattern of bypassing. In 2012 the flume was severely affected by significant
bypassing (up to 60% of flow by passing on 09/07/2012) due to weed growth
upstream of the gauging station. Complex water meadow system 2-3km upstream can
result in minor short-term fluctuations in the river flow. Theoretical rating;
gaugings have confirmed rating at high flows. Two ratings applied across period
of record. Most recent rating takes account of bypassing but is theoretical
below 0.737. Limb two was derived by regression using gaugings with break point
for bank full levels. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Upper catchment - Chalk;
lower catchment - Tertiary, sands, gravels and clays. Land use is predominantly
agricultural. No major changes to catchment. | Minor groundwater
abstractions in catchment. |

Crump weir closed in 1980 and replaced by 44011. | Crump weir on
channel dug as part of flood prevention scheme. Flow measured at this location
1966 to 1980. In 1980-1996 station was moved to site at Jessops Avenue (head
control weir with relief weir), but no data available for this station. Station
replaced by East Bridge Bridport (44011) in 1996. | Bypassed at stages
above 0.5m, bypass flow is included in the CEH rating. Two peak flow rating
applied across period of record. | Peak flows presented for the earlier
record (1966-1980) have greater uncertainty associated with them than new site
(1996-date). | Rapidly responsive catchment due to steep slopes on Liassic
Clay and marl. No major changes. | Natural runoff to within 10% at Q95.
Several mills operate sluices and hatches upstream of weir and regulate the
flow. |

Combined station comprising of Loudsmill, Loudsmill Fish Pass and
Stinsford. | Combined station (Loudsmill, Loudsmill Fish Pass, Stinsford)
consisting of 3 crump weirs and a Larinier fish pass. | Louds Mill has two
Crump profile weirs of which the largest has broad crested abutments, crests
10.66m (side-spilling). Also a side Crump profile weir on Mill Stream 1.52m
broad. A Larinier fish pass, situated adjacent to the main weir on the left
bank, was completed in autumn 2008. Stage is measured and flow computed
independently at Loudsmill Fish Pass. Gauging has shown that the stage discharge
relationship for the Fish Pass is good. Bypassing very small. Rating includes
side channel and is modular to 10cumecs. The third Crump profile weir at
Stinsford (on the opposite side of the floodplain to Louds Mill), crest 3.04m
wide, modular to 4.6 cumecs but potential for non-modularity due to weed growth
downstream. At Stinsford the river inundates the floodplain as it is not in the
valley bottom, and there is potential for significant flow on the floodplain to
bypass both gauges. The three sites are combined to produce a total flow record
called Dorchester Total. Protected flows combining Louds Mill and Stinsford
gauges. Bypassing through the floodplain between the 2 sites is significant. No
rating shown on NRFA as it is a combined site. | Flows exist prior to
October 1971 for Louds Mill only. Poor site, not rated at high flows. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Predominantly Chalk, with Upper Greensand and Gault, Lias
and Oolites in headwaters. Land use is rural. No major catchment changes. |

Crump profile weir built in 1969. | Crump profile weir built in 1969,
crest 1.95m wide with brick side walls and stainless steel crest. |
Modularity, previously of concern, due to weed growth and d/s channel
geometry, improved by channel works. These factors may have influenced u/s
levels earlier in the record. Upstream banks not well defined. Straight approach
with rocky bed. Silt and gravel accumulation upstream is a recurring problem.
Gauge is subject to some bypassing; overall effect not thought to be significant
but may be appreciable at the most extreme flows. Bypassing commences at approx.
0.38m. Theoretical original rating, applicable to bankfull only. The upper limit
at Sydling is at 0.3m/0.670cumecs. Gauged up to a level of 0.333m. Gauging
agreed with extrapolation. One peak flow rating across period of rating. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Predominantly
Lower Chalk with small outcrops of Middle and Upper Chalk forming higher ground

Flat V weir installed for low flow monitoring gauging a relatively small
chalk catchment. | Flat V weir, 2.5m wide, installed in 1974 for low flow
monitoring and year-round enforcement of minimum prescribed flow conditions on
public water supply abstraction license. | Compensation flow input 1km
upstream of weir, gauge virtually measures the extent of stream support. Some
flow by-passing in smaller channel likely. Level at which by-passing commences
is unknown. At a level of 0.275m (17/07/2012) the bypass channel was gauged at
2% of the total flow. Theoretical rating confirmed by gaugings. The upper limit
at Winterbourne Steepleton is at 0.370m/0.928cumecs. One peak flow rating across
the period of record. | In the past, low flows were measured by a
thin-plate weir fitted downstream of weir crest at the same level and using the
same water level recorders. HiFlows-UK included this period of record; the max
gauged flow for the thin-plate weir is 0.85cumecs and QMED 0.445cumecs. Peak
flows rejected pre-1986 due to rating uncertainty. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |

Flat V Crump weir with Time of Flight Ultrasonic added in 2005. Situated in
the responsive catchment of the River Asker. | Station replaced Bridport
(44003) in March 1996 at the same location but in a greatly modified channel, so
held as separate stations. | Flat 'V' Crump profile weir, 6.3m wide
(0.618m above weir crest width increases to 7.3m). Ultrasonic added in 2005 and
used as primary flow measurement method when stage exceeds 0.957m. Modified
channel means bypassing is no longer an issue. One peak flow rating across the
period of record. Flat V theoretical to 0.154m, best fit to gaugings to 0.957m
and derived from ultrasonic beyond 0.957m. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and August
2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Responsive catchment due to steep slopes on
Liassic clay and marl. | Rapidly responding flow regime makes gauging
difficult. |

Flat V crump weir built in 1992. | The station was built in 1992 with
a Flat V Crump weir structure, 3.0m wide. | No evidence of bypassing but
culvert upstream may interfere and surcharge at high flows causing ponding
upstream and may cause attenuation of flood peak. All flows remain in bank, good
fit to check gaugings. Can have lower flow than upstream station due to
abstraction. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Predominantly Lower
Chalk with small outcrops of Middle and Upper Chalk forming higher ground
flanking the catchment. Mainly pastoral with some arable agriculture on flatter
ground. No major catchment changes. | Subject to public abstraction. |

Velocity area station with flat V bed control. Control point for operational
releases from Wimbleball Reservoir. | Station started in 1956.
Velocity-area station, approx. 32m wide. Non-standard flat V bed control
constructed in 1973. Station is control point for operational releases from
Wimbleball Reservoir. Station immediately below a bridge. | Cableway
present. Significant gravel deposition, and post-winter shoaling since major
failure of upstream weir in 1999 which may affect flows, despite significant
effort to ameliorate through frequent gauging and rating adjustments. Some flow
(a minor amount) escapes from a mill upstream and bypasses the station through a
1m culvert under the road. The right bank has a considerable flood plain.
Multiple peak flow ratings across the period of record. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Headwaters drain Exmoor. Geology predominantly Devonian sandstones
and Carboniferous Culm Measures, with subordinate Permian sandstones in the
east. Moorland, forestry and a range of agriculture. No major catchment
changes. | Wimbleball Reservoir in catchment affects runoff. Other
abstractions and recharge in catchment. |

Shallow V weir built in 1972 to replace previous velocity-area section with
cableway. | Originally a velocity-area station with a cableway, reliable
records began in 1962. The river was regraded and downstream obstructions were
removed in August 1965. Station rebuilt between 1971 and 1973, and during this
period a temporary recorder was installed downstream. New weir fully operative
from 08/1973 - an informal shallow V weir, 11.45 m overall width, 1:26 side
slopes, 1:18 u/s and d/s slopes. | Weir acts as a low flow control, with
channel control when structure is drowned. Full range. Widespread upstream
inundation during floods. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record.
Ratings extended to include modelled out-of-bank flows. Bypassing probably
occurs at about 2 m, u/s on the left bank, and the station is likely to be
outflanked at any stage greater than 2.3 m. Shoal development has led to a
number of ratings across period of record, with different low flow limbs. High
flow limbs very similar, so simplified rating record applied to data. Current
rating uses hydraulic modelling to extend beyond gauged range. Some out of bank
gaugings help validate rating. Ratings for velocity-area station derived from
gaugings, with some slope-area estimates above bankfull. Upper segment of rating
for the temporary recorder 1971-73 derived by correlation between the
sites. | Shoaling on structure may affect flows from 1998 until river bed
re-profiling in 2008, despite rating adjustments. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |

Compound Crump profile weir downstream of Whitford Bridge. Initially
installed to measure low flows but now a full range station. | Compound
Crump profile weir, total width 21.3m, low flow section 7.6m broad. Cableway on
site. Installed primarily to measure low flows. Since 2009, Velocity area
station for medium flows, modelled rating for high flows. | Structure
limit 2.1 m stage. Overspill at 1.65m on left bank fields; in large floods
considerable bypassing. In-channel deposition becoming an increasing problem: A
significant amount of gravel has built up between the upstream side of the weir
and the road bridge. Bypassing included in the modelled rating. Bed-mounted ADCP
added in 09/2009, when weir becomes non-modular flows are calculated using this
until bypassing occurs, then reverts to modelled high flow rating. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Extremely complex catchment of moderate relief draining Chalk
and Greensand headwaters. Middle and lower reaches Mercia Mudstone; Lias clays
and more Greensand. Land use is meadowland, low intensity agriculture, woodland
and minor industrial development. No major changes in catchment. | Runoff

Ultrasonic station at Exeter Quay approximately 300m upstream of the actual
'Trews Weir' structure. | Ultrasonic station at Exeter Quay approximately
300m upstream of the actual 'Trews Weir' structure. Channel about 45m wide.
Initially built for Water Resources, but now multifunctional. Station added to
peak flows dataset in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | The performance of
the gauge has improved over time with upgrades to the ultrasonic equipment.
Limited bypassing at high flows. Very low velocities during periods of low flows
have historically caused some performance issues. There is a lot going on here,
with the mouth of Exeter Canal feeding from the weir pool, as well as Trews Weir
Radial gate, bypass channel, fish pass and 'overspill weir' to the flood relief
channel all having an impact on the regime. The level of the 'overspill weir' to
the flood relief channel was lowered in 2015. The gauge has sustained damage
during high flow events - most notably in the October 2000 floods. |
According to EA, level data and few gaugings with one poor rating available
from 09-78 to 09-81. Site closed as considered unsuitable for stage-discharge
rating (due to weir, flood gates, boat traffic, canal offtake, etc.). 15 minute
record is variable at first (though daily means could be reasonable) but record
improves over time. Site damaged in 10-2000 flood and loses flow subsequently to
08-2001. Site upgraded at end 2006 and now much better. | The Exe
headwaters drain Exmoor. Geology predominantly Devonian sandstones and
Carboniferous Culm Measures, with subordinate Permian sandstones in the east.
Moorland, forestry and a range of agriculture. No major catchment changes. The
Culm rises in the Blackdown Hills. Headwaters drain Greensand and Gault Clay.
Predominantly Permo-Triassic sandstones, breccias and marls with extensive
valley gravels and alluvium. The catchment has a subdued relief and is
predominantly agricultural; the largest settlement is Cullompton. Small areas of
woodlands in the east. No major catchment changes.The Creedy is a v-shaped
catchment draining moderate to high relief valleys to the N and W. Predominantly
Culm Measures, sandstones and shales with some Permo-Triassic breccias and
sandstones near Crediton. Low grade agriculture, grazing and forestry. No major
catchment changes. | Wimbleball Reservoir in catchment affects runoff.
Runoff also reduced by other public water supply abstraction. Runoff influenced
by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Runoff increased by effluent returns.
Runoff reduced by industrial/agricultural abstraction. Moderate surface and
groundwater abstractions affect low flows. |

Velocity area station in deep cutting. | Velocity area station in deep
cutting. Rock bars form low flow control. | Flood flows contained by
railway tracks on the left bank and, on the right bank, by rock walls, gabions
and a newly constructed Crib wall (03/2006) which extends along a large section
upstream of the control. Bypassing minimal but occurs on left bank at very high
flows. River bed re-profiled (shoal removed) following construction works in
2006, with multiple low flow ratings required since then due to shoaling. Flows
above ~12 cumecs derived from modelled rating, though peak flows in 1999 and
2000 still considered overestimated. Current metering by wading for low flows.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record however only upper
limb shown. Low flow re-rating adjustments not shown. Upper limb derived from
hydraulic model with good fit to available gaugings. | 02/1995 flows
missing due to station hut replacement. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | A v-shaped
catchment draining moderate to high relief valleys to the N and W. Predominantly
Culm Measures, sandstones and shales with some Permo-Triassic breccias and
sandstones near Crediton. Low grade agriculture, grazing and forestry. No major

US station installed to replace previous velocity area and EM stations. |
US system installed in 05/2010 to replace problematic EM flow gauge.
Original station opened in 1978 with an unstable bed control, underneath a
bridge. Channel width approximately 7m. The control shifted every time a flood
occurred. A new electromagnetic station 50 m downstream replaced the original
station in 01/1999 (recording since 17/01/99). New EM station overcame the
previous problems with the unstable bed control with a concrete block weir used
as a control. Subsequently replaced by US station. | Proportionally high
summer flows due to groundwater augmentation from regionally important aquifer.
Complex rating history, with considerable scatter in high flow gaugings.
Bypassing occurs. Flows > 7 cumecs outside the range of the EM gauge, mainly
in winter. Multiple ratings applied across period of record, the most recent
velocity-area rating is valid until site became electromagnetic in 1999. Changes
in rating a result of regular shift in station control. | DMFs removed
from NRFA from 09/1997 to 01/99. Some flows between 09/2008 and 03/2009
considered suspect. Data prior 1999 needs to be treated with caution. |
Upper catchment is Greensand and Gault Clay of Blackdown Hills; lower
reaches are Keuper Marl. Otter Sandstone (aquifer) to the south provides
regionally important groundwater supply. Rural, predominantly agricultural land
use. No major catchment changes. | Proportionally high summer flows due to
groundwater augmentation from regionally important aquifer. |

Broad crested flat V weir opened in 1992. | Station opened in 1992 as
a broad crested Flat V weir, crest length approximately 4m. Relatively straight
reach with stable river bed. Footbridge approx.12m downstream of the station.
Velocity area station for higher flows. | Well-built station and good
control. Bypassing and weed growth are not an issue, but some drowning.
Potential for blockage of culverts under footbridge downstream during high flows
which may affect levels and drown out weir. One rating applied across period of
record. Confirmed by gaugings to 0.6m, above which available gaugings fit poorly
to rating and indicate overestimation of flows. | Full period of record

Velocity area station with cableway. Longest record on the River Dart. |
Velocity area station with cableway, main channel approximately 30m wide.
Station significantly improved in 1973. Full range station serving Water
Resources and Flood Warning purposes. | Rock step forms downstream
control, with variation in amounts of retained gravel causing some changes at
low flows. The river has a stable rock bed at the station. Channel contains the
mean annual flood. Well rated. Rating reviewed after 1979 record flood
overtopped 4.2m walls on right bank causing bypassing. | Records available
from 10/1958 but unreliable prior to 01/05/1960. December 1979 flood changed
channel geometry at station and control. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Responsive
catchment with upper two thirds draining moorland associated with Dartmoor
Granite; lower third is of Carboniferous shales and sandstones. Steep relief in
headwaters and at Granite boundary. Land use is low-grade agriculture and
woodland. No major catchment changes. | Regulation of surface water and
groundwater. Venford Reservoir operation affects low flows, exporting via the
Devonport leat. Abstractions. |

Velocity area station with natural control to 2013, weir thereafter. |
Velocity area station built in 1971. Natural control until Flat V weir built
in 2012/13. | Cableway present, span 25.5m. Minimal bypassing. Pre-weir
low flows were affected by weed growth and movement of the natural bed control
(downstream of station) causing frequent re-rating. Reasonable fit to available
gaugings. | Station closed between 6/10/1981 - 11/05/1990. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Drains southwards from Dartmoor Granite. Predominantly Lower Old
Red Sandstone in lower reaches, Culm Measures between. Alluvium in valley
bottom. Land-use: rural, grazing and woodland in steeply incised valley. No
major catchment changes. | Some regulation from surface water and
groundwater abstractions. Avon Dam in the catchment (small reservoir in the
headwaters) can affect runoff. Dam fills quickly and overspills during
significant events, but would make no difference to the flow at Loddiswell. HEP
scheme was installed at the Dam (in 2012), on the falling limb of events, flows
can suddenly drop to 'natural' when the reservoir stops releasing. |

A station at the estuary of the River Tavy with a fish pass and intake for
hydroelectricity generation. | | Compound broad-crested weir 75m
wide with fish pass and intake for hydroelectricity generation; outlet of
Lopwell Dam, which acts at tidal barrage. Over-topping only during very
exceptional floods. | Gauged daily flows missing October 1959 - July 1974
and August 76. Data patchy in 1979 and up to station closure in 1980. |

Velocity area station with cableway. | Velocity area station, channel
approx. 10.6m wide, cableway span 16.9m. Downstream shoal as control. |
Flows at site were formerly contained by flood banks on both banks (bankfull
level only thought to have been exceeded once in record (12/1979)). However the
left hand bank was breached in the 1990s and the left hand entrainment bank then
removed so bypassing occurs more readily since 1990; floodplain flows are
ungauged. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record. Generally
reasonable rating, well gauged through the range but limited confidence in upper
range. Rating shift due to mobile bed and control. Rating reviewed in 2012 with
improvements applied to historic record. Out-of-bank flows now calculated using
model-derived rating. Low flow rating shifts regularly in response to changes in
the downstream shoal. Analysis has shown that the high flow rating is similar
through the record due to influence of downstream control at higher levels.
Rating formed from a combination of high flow gaugings, 2D hydraulic modelling
and observations of the 1979 flood (wrack marks and slope-area analysis).
Separate high flow ratings prepared for the situation pre- and post-1990 with
the left hand bank in place and removed. As a result rating now considered
sound. Acoustic Doppler installed in 02/12 to confirm the rating at higher
levels. | Data pre-March 1966 are rejected as they have not been re-rated
and are therefore uncertain - there also appears to be some truncation. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | Headwaters rise on Bodmin peat covered granite moorland;
thence Devonian slates and volcanics; middle reach crosses a Carboniferous shale
and sandstone inlier. Drift restricted to alluvium. Responsive upper catchment
on Bodmin Moor. Generally low grade land gives rise to a variety of agriculture,
grazing and forestry. No major catchment changes. | Imports from
Sibleyback Reservoir exceed direct PWS abstraction, moderate net affect at low
flows. |

Velocity area station with informal Flat V low flow control with good
straight approach. | Velocity area station with informal Flat V low flow
wooden control 16.9m wide (surveyed in 2005). Good straight approach. 36.5m span
cableway extends over flood banks. | Insensitive at low flows given wide
section. Reaches bankfull on left bank in larger floods and then bypassed on
right bank. Rating developed using gaugings, to be reviewed due to bias and
gauging deviation. Peak event flow December 1979 estimated at 3.234m using
Mannings following wrack mark survey and used as a gauging in derivation of peak
flow rating. Two peak flow ratings across period of record. | Station
closed from 1981 to 1985, no data available. Data suspect pre-1972, historical
evidence suggests levels backed up so flows over-estimated and peak flows are
rejected for this period. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Responsive, predominantly
natural catchment of moderate relief draining eastwards from coastal hills and
drains upland north of Bodmin Moor. Geology mainly comprises of Devonian shales
and grits and Carboniferous Culm Measures. Land use is rural, grazing and low
grade agriculture with minor forestry. | Sensibly natural although runoff
influenced by gw abstraction/recharge and some effluent returns. No major

Shallow rectangular concrete flume installed in 1968 to replace previous
velocity-area section. | Originally a velocity area station, superseded in
1968 by a shallow, rectangular, concrete flume to overcome low-flow measurement
problems. Flume has side and bed contractions, throat 3.5m wide, 0.38 m deep,
and is flanked by broad crested weirs in 7.9 m wide channel. Wooden structure
added to central channel to aid fish movement. Gentle approach bend. Cableway 5
m upstream of present position prior to 1977. Flood Studies Report grade C. |
Largest floods may exceed bankfull and bypass station. Peak flows of 1979
and 2000 thought to have been contained. Upper limb extended to out-of-bank
flows using modelling. Flume installation in 10/1968 necessitated a rating
change. Latest rating based on all gaugings and hydraulic modelled upper limb
for out of bank flows. Reviewed and re-rated in 2019. Segment 1 to top of flume,
segment 2 to bankfull and segment 3 OOB modelled flow. High flow gaugings are
difficult so an Acoustic Doppler acts as a high flow gauging tool to assist flow
estimation. | Station closed 1981-88. 15% of the catchment now drains
through Roadford Reservoir (since 1988), though runoff from Dartmoor to the east
may be more significant. New medium and high daily flow rating developed in 2007
including high flow gaugings and applied to flows back to 1975. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Moderate to high relief catchment draining Carboniferous Culm
Measures (shales and sandstones). Land-use is wholly rural; moorland headwaters,
forestry in main valleys, rough grazing, low grade agriculture. Roadford
Reservoir, completed in 1989, with a catchment area of 31.8km2, affects 14.5% of
catchment. FARL in catchment descriptor file (.cd2) given for pre-reservoir
condition. FARL post-reservoir = 0.95. | Flows significantly affected by
operation of Roadford Reservoir (post-1988). Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge and increased by effluent returns. |

Flat V weir installed 2002, with crest tapping and downstream level
measurement to calculate drowned flows. | Flat V weir installed 2002, with
crest tapping and downstream level measurement to calculate drowned flows.
Modular at 0.82m. Prior to 2001 station consisted of a low flow rectangular
flume, 4.7m throat width, side and bottom contractions, this, in turn,
superseded a velocity-area station in 07/1967. | Bankfull approx. mean
annual flood level; downstream bridge truncates peaks. Prior to 2000 station was
bypassed. Entrainment banks rebuilt in 2001 at higher level than previous, as
have overtopped in the past. Previous banks overtopped more frequently but
overtopped during 2012 flood events. POR maximum flow of 46.2 cumecs in 12/2000
is an estimate provided by the EA, which is thought to be reasonable. Good
rating, well-gauged across the flow range. Lower end re-rated in 2011 and
earlier flows recalculated. No liability to backwater or tidal influence. New
rating prepared in 2013 for weir period using observations of overtopping of
flood banks (> 2.125m) during July, Nov, Dec and 2012 floods. Peak flow
ratings cover: the period pre-1967 before the flume was operational, the period
when flume was operational (1967-2001) and the period since 2002 when the flat V
was built. Acoustic Doppler installed in 08/2014 to improve high flows. |
Closed from 09/2001 to 11/2002 for installation of new weir. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | South Dartmoor catchment with rapid response. Headwaters drain
Dartmoor Granite and metamorphosed Devonian slates. Most of catchment underlain
by Devonian shales and tuffs with subordinate limestone. Land use is meadowland,

Three-bay compound Crump weir with flows since 1988 influenced by the
construction of Roadford Reservoir. | Three-bay compound Crump profile
weir with crests of 3.66m, 10.97m (total) length. A second pre-weir was
constructed at the end of 2017 to improve fish passage and a passive eel pass
installed within the outer weir face on the right hand bank. | Weir
assumed to be modular to structure full (2.74m) but this is unverified and
downstream levels may back up and influence levels. This is increasingly likley
since the construction of the additional pre-weir in 2017 and a downstream level
has been installed to evidence/analyse this. All flows contained to date (2020).
One peak flow rating has been applied across period of record. Rating fits to
gaugings reasonably well but will be reviewed when enough data is available to
confirm if drowning is an issue. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Previously
natural catchment of moderate relief draining shales and sandstones of
Carboniferous Culm Measures. Significant terrace gravels lower down in main
valley. Land use is rural, grazing, mixed farming and low grade agriculture.
Roadford Reservoir, completed in 1989, with a catchment area of 31.8km2, affects
28.3% of catchment. FARL given for use in WINFAP is for pre-reservoir

Crump profile weir opened in 1969. | Station opened in 1969 with a
Crump profile weir, 5.5 m wide and wing walls 2.3m high with subsidiary
floodbanks. | Weir fully modular when flow within flood banks. High flows
gauged at road bridge. No bypassing. Rated by gaugings below 0.1m stage,
theoretical rating above this. Few gaugings at low flows. Good site and record.
All flows contained to date but analysis of tailwater levels post November 2012
flood (biggest on record) showed weir non-modular during event. High flows
gauged off road bridge in the past and with ADCP on ropes now. Ratings based on
theoretical Crump weir equation. Adjustment for drowning has been applied to the
top end based on the findings of the December 2012 event. Extrapolation beyond
max gauging at 6.5 m3/s reasonable as flows contained and drowning considered.
Two peak flow ratings across period of record. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Elongated, linear, natural catchment. Headwaters rise from southernmost
outcrop of Bodmin granite. Great bulk of the catchment on Devonian shales and

Compound Crump weir. | Compound Crump profile weir, total crest length
11m. | Piers submerge around 1.65m. Drowning occurs when stage > 0.6m,
but non-modular flows can be gauged from the footbridge. Evidence of hysteresis
in rating due to the size of the downstream flood plain. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Above piers (>1.65m), theoretical within
pier rating extrapolated. Transit time of flight installed in 10/2013 and used
to apply a new high flow limb for the POR in 2015. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
River drains coastal hills of West Cornwall; relief is quite subdued, and
rocks outcropping are shales and sandstones of Carboniferous Culm Measures. Land
use is wholly rural with some artificially induced vegetation, moorland and
low-grade agriculture. Impoundment of the Tamar Lakes. | Unusual flood
response, not indicative of upper Tamar conditions. Flows substantially modified
by the impoundment of the Tamar Lakes 15km u/s. Runoff also reduced by public
water supply abstraction. |

Compound Crump weir built in 1971. | Compound crump weir built in
1971. Centre crest of 3.5m and 2 flank crests of 4.5m. Total crest width
12.5m. | Modular to around 1.6m, drowning occurs at high flows. One peak
flow rating across period of record. Theoretical rating does not apply beyond
top of wingwalls are they are very rarely overtopped and by very little. Only
bypassed on largest floods of 1979 and 2000. Tailwater recorder added 09/2007.
At one time received diversions from the Dart via the Devonport Leat (~0.21
cumec), but this has now ceased. Flows from 2000 (reopening) onward reprocessed
in 2007 following datum correction. Rating appears to underestimate flows beyond
0.8m. An Acoustic Doppler device installed in 09/2014 to confirm flows above
0.8m and identify the point and extent of drowning. | Station closed
between 01/10/1981-17/04/2000. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | The headwaters of Plym and
Meavy rise on W Dartmoor granite downstream of Burrator Reservoir and pass SW
onto Upper Devonian slates. Insignificant areas of alluvium and river gravel
exist, most particularly between the gauging station and the Meavy-Plym
confluence. Moorland catchment with forestry. No major changes apart from

Three-bay compound Crump profile weir with associated climate station and
footbridge. | Three-bay compound Crump profile weir, crest lengths 0.91m
and 2.54m (total). Crest replaced 03/2000. Affected by subsidence post-1990
(unquantified). Associated climate station. Footbridge over the weir. Residual
flow gauge for associated major public water supply abstraction. |
Downstream weed growth and siltation affects low flows. Poor site for high
flows: only possible to gauge up to pier height, which is lower than the mean
annual flood. ToF ultrasonic added for medium and high flows but this has also
proved problematic. Bypassed on right bank when out-of-bank. Two peak flow
ratings across period of record, RC3 covers the complete period of record,
except for a period in 2017/18 when weir became non modular throughout range due
to backing up caused by downstream channel conditions (RC4). | Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | The small catchment drains eastwards from Bodmin Moor and
northwards from Craddock Moorland. Catchment of moderate relief, entirely upon
the granite of Bodmin Moor, with three main tributaries flowing in distinct
valleys. Land cover is widespread peat; main valley broad and marshy. Nearly a
quarter of the catchment is forested. It is virtually uninhabited. No major
changes apart from afforestation. | Runoff reduced by major public water
supply abstraction. Occasional substantial diversions into the catchment from
Sibleyback Reservoir. |

Three bay non-standard structure consisting of Flat V, triangular profile
and broad-crested weirs. | Three-bay non-standard compound structure with
2.47m flat V weir (on fish pass), 9.48m wide triangular profile weir and a 8.53m
wide broad-crested weir. Flat V weir on fish pass superseded a previous sharp
crested weir in 1976. | During low flows, the left hand broad crested weir
in the flood relief channel (gently sloping open grassed space) is dry - beyond
1.4m the flows bypass the structure and enter the channel. Allowance for bypass
flow made based on contemporary observations of 1979 flood (including survey and
Manning calculations), which suggested a flow range between 90 and 112m3/s.
Multiple ratings across period of record, using check gaugings (some collected
by ADCP) and extrapolated above. | No data between 07/2014 and 12/2014 due
to fish pass improvement works. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Moorland catchment
draining western Dartmoor Granite. Steep, afforested valley flanks as the river
leaves the granite and drains Devonian slates, limestone and volcanics. Land use
is low grade agriculture, moorland and woodland. No major catchment
changes. | Moderate flow modification by PWS abstraction and minor
agricultural abstraction. |

Unconventional structure comprising a flume set within shallow wing walls
which curve through 90 degrees. | Unconventional control opened in 1981
comprising a flume set within shallow (0.3m) wing walls which curve through 90
deg. W to fill the whole channel (20m). Cableway spans 32m. | Well
contained but highest flows out-of-bank. Greater uncertainty at higher flows due
to lack of gaugings. Additional gaugings are available for the site prior to
installation of the flume. Two peak flow ratings across period of record; not
confirmed for out-of-bank flow and theoretical rating extrapolated beyond
1.5m. | Peak flows rejected from 1981-2011 as stilling well issues causing
significant under-recording of peak river levels. | A responsive catchment
draining from the western flank of the Dartmoor Granite plateau; valleys are
steeply incised and forested below Tavistock. Land cover is moorland, rough
grazing and low-grade agriculture. No major catchment changes. | Low flows

Broad crested weir built in 1988 to replace previous velocity area
station. | Velocity area station with a low flow bed control built in
1976. Station re-opened with broad-crested weir in 1988. Channel approximately
9.5m wide. | Bankfull at 1.8m. Station subject to mobile bed/shoaling
downstream of weir so rating prone to shifting. Gaugings taken to allow
preparation of ratings to account for this. Multiple peak flow ratings applied
across period of record. Rating derived from current meter gaugings from
cableway. | Station closed 01/01/1981 - 11/10/1988; no data available.
Downstream siltation led to the drowning of the control structure during high
flows in 12/1999. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Mixed geology, mostly Upper Devonian,
Culm Measures, Carboniferous with some areas of slate and thin limestone.
Land-use: rural, low intensity agriculture, beef/sheep and dairy farms in lower
reaches. No major urbanisation in the catchment. No major catchment
changes. | No major artificial influences. |

Open channel rated section in canalised channel. | Velocity area
station, initially installed to collect data for feasibility studies surrounding
flood defence scheme and was then upgraded to a permanent station forming part
of the flood warning system for River Kensey. | As the station is within a
defended reach, flood flows are contained to a high level and all flows
contained to date. Bankfull discharge is around 37m3/s. Two peak flow ratings
across the period of record to take into account changes in the natural bed
control. Rating developed by gaugings. Gauged to QMED and to around half of AMAX
1 but extrapolation considered reasonable as flows in bank. Some uncertainty
exists in the low flow data due to the stony mobile bed conditions but flows are
generally within 15-20%. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | The River Kensey
catchment overlies Shale and Grit. Over this area, extensive mechanical
deformation has taken place resulting in minor folding and faulting. Igneous
activity in the form of Spilitic Lavas and intrusive Dolerite and Diabase is
also evident within the catchment. From its source it flows through gently
undulating or relatively level land with a fairly wide level valley floor. The
Kensey flows from its source in a westerly direction towards Launceston. Just
upstream of the town, the river passes under the rail embankment and then flows
through a narrow, well defined floodplain. No major changes to catchment. |
Predominantly rural catchment. |

Open channel rated section influenced by China clay works in catchment. |
Open channel rated section, opened in 1979 to collect data for licence
determination in connection with upstream mine. Original site decommissioned in
1988. In 2003 the site was reopened as a Flood Warning station positioned
slightly further downstream at Newnham Park road bridge. Current set up includes
an ADVP gauge to assist in calibration of the stage-discharge relationship
alongside current meter gaugings. | Until August 2018, the low flow
stage-discharge relationship underwent multiple shifts as a result of a mobile
bed at site. In August 2018, rip rap was installed in an attempt to stabilise
the control at the lower end. Multiple ratings applied over the period of
record. | WY2006/2007 rejected as likely occured during period of
equipment failure. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | The upper Tory Brook catchment, to
Lee Moor and Wotter, is primarily underlain by Granite with alluvium and river
gravel along the watercourses. The majority of the rest of the catchment is
underlain by Slate of the Upper Devonian period, with alluvium along the
watercourses. This impermeable geology with steep topography leads to a
reasonably rapid catchment response to storm events. However as a result of the
artificial influences response may be considered muted compared to the catchment
pre- china clay mining. No major changes to catchment. | China clay works
have affected the catchment hydrology for over 200 years. The river flow regime
may be affected by these works in a number of ways including; cross-catchment
transfers, the potential for attenuation of catchment runoff in lagoons; changes
in topography caused by the development of waste tips, which could increase
catchment steepness leading to faster runoff; and the permeability of the soils
may be reduced due to compaction and clay being brought to the surface. With the
exception of these areas of china clay works, the upper catchment is
predominantly rural containing only the small settlements of Lee Moor and
Wotter. |

Open channel flood warning gauge. | Open channel flood warning gauged
installed just upstream of road bridge. Station closed 01/10/2017 and converted
to level only site for flood warning. | ADVP flow gauge installed to
assist in flow calculation at site. As site is subject to backwatering from
downstream this is used to calculate high flows above a stage of around 1 m,
approx 3 m3/s. Flow calculations are made via a combination of a low flow rating
and data from the ADVP at higher levels. One peak flow rating across the period
of record. | | Most of the rocks in the Tamar catchment are hard
mudstones, shales, siltstones, sandstones and minor limestones. A major mountain
building event during the Carboniferous Period intensely folded the strata which
resulted in extensive fissuring and faulting. The flow duration curve for the
catchment is relatively steep through its length because the underlying granite,
slate and shale restrict groundwater storage whilst slowly permeable soils in
the upper catchment promote rapid surface water runoff. No major catchment
changes. | The catchment is predominately rural. Tamar Lakes are found in
the catchment. The Upper Lake is a water supply reservoir whilst the Lower Lake
is no longer used as a reservoir and so acts as an online pond. |

Open channel site with ADVP flow gauge. | Open channel site.
Stage-discharge is the primary flow calculation derived from gaugings and ADVP
flow gauge data. | Station located in a section where flows are contained
to a high level so the high flow dataset can be used with good confidence.
Station is located in a natural open section and is controlled by a shoal 30m
downstream. At high flows, Abbey Bridge 200m downstream of the station provides
good stable hydraulic conditions and is the main control. Flow is well contained
at least up to the highest peak on record so far. ADVP data has shown evidence
of a backing up effect from about 3m and has been used to refine the upper end
of the stage discharge relationship further. | Flow is now calculated from
Feb 1994 (data from 1991 to 1994 has been discounted as it cannot be related to
the current station datum). Historically the stage discharge relationship built
up from a rated section was known to overestimate high flows. An acoustic
Doppler was installed in 2010 and used to recalculate the historical rating to
provide consistent peaks though the period of record. The site has undergone
independent rainfall - runoff checks to ensure the flood peaks are physically
realisable. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | The Tavy has a reputation as being one
of England's fastest flowing rivers. Over the 28km from the source to the tidal
limit at Lopwell it drops over 560m at an average gradient of 15.9m/km. As the
catchment is impermeable with granite and slate the groundwater store is small.
This, in conjunction with the steep topography, means that floods are
characterised by a rapid rise and fall in water level. No major changes in
catchment. | The catchment is almost exclusively rural consisting of
farmland and moorland. There are small historical mine working found in the
catchment. |

Velocity area station in a relatively small catchment. | Station
started in 1991 with a low level bed control. Channel approximately 5.2m
wide. | Maximum flows may be considerable over-estimates as out of bank
section of rating is simply an extrapolation of the in-bank rating. Access
problems at high flows and wading gauging only. Mobile bed. Bankfull at 0.89m.
Five ratings applied across period of record, further gaugings required to
validate ratings but site is remote and regime is flashy so can be hard to
gauge. | Missing data in 2001 due to Foot and Mouth epidemic meaning site
visits were not able to happen. | Relatively small catchment area consists
of Upper Carboniferous (mainly shale) with some areas of Sandstone, alluvium and
river deposits. Land use mostly rural/agricultural. No urbanisation in the
catchment. Roadford reservoir (downstream) completed in 1989. No major catchment
changes. | |

Three-bay compound Crump Profile weir installed in 1969 to replace previous
broad-crested weir with central notch. | Station opened in 10/1958 with a
broad-crested weir with central notch (limited accuracy, flow overestimated) and
since 05/1969 has been a three-bay compound Crump profile weir, with a middle
crest length 1.52m and two side crests of 2.75m (7.01m total). | Flood
embankments ensure the full range is gauged. One theoretical peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Uncertainty in peak flows as no available
gaugings to validate rating. | Peak flow data only available from 1969.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Moderate relief, wet moorland catchment on the Bodmin
Moor Granite. Extensive hill and valley peat deposits. Kaolinised granite
moderates direct runoff response. Sibleyback reservoir scheme under construction
around 1968/69. Completed in April 1969. | Substantial flow modification
from associated public water supply abstraction, Sibleyback Reservoir operation,
and exports. |

Velocity area station augmented by a low flow side-contracted flume. Some
data unreliable due to siltation of flume an inlet pipes. | Originally a
velocity-area station in a formalised trapezoidal channel built in 1961;
augmented by a low flow, side-contracted flume 2.8m wide in 08/1967. |
Full range station with sound high flow measurement. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. | Data available from 06/1978, earlier
data unreliable due to silting of inlet pipes. Data between 1967 and 1978 is
unreliable due to siltation of the flume. HIFs on NRFA from 01/1981. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Responsive catchment of moderate to low relief, draining Devonian
slates, shales and grits. Upper reaches plateau-like alluvial flats. Traverses
the kaolinised St Austell Granite. Land use is low grade agriculture and
grazing, some woodland. No major changes to catchment. | Moderate
modification to flows owing to industrial abstractions and returns. |

Three-bay compound Crump profile weir in entirely rural catchment. The only
gauged natural catchment on Bodmin moor. | Three-bay compound Crump
profile weir, with central crest length 1.52m and two side crests of 4.265m
(10.05m total). Wing walls at 1.67m. | Weir thought to be fully modular. A
downstream level sensor has been installed to inform any non-modularity. Flood
banks contain flows up to wing wall height. Well confirmed by gaugings up to
0.5m (2.6 cumecs) but above this gauging suggests high flows overestimated due
to skew flow in channel. Shoaling upstream of weir. Siltation problem as
structure over-designed. The only gauged natural catchment on Bodmin Moor. No
liability to backwater effects. One peak flow ratings applied to period of
record. Confirmed by gaugings to 0.59m. All recorded flows in bank. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Entirely rural natural catchment with small scattered
villages on moorland. The upper part of the catchment drains a moderate to steep
relief consisting of kaolinised granite. The lower traverses metamorphosed
Devonian slates. Baseflow high for an upland catchment due to storage in the
granite. Land use is mainly rough grazing. Some china clay worked in upper
catchment. No major changes to catchment. | Runoff natural to within 10%

Three-bay compound Crump profile weir with flood retention ponds upstream
that alter high flow response. | Three-bay compound Crump profile weir
with central crest length 1.22m and two side crests of 1.524m and 1.535m (4.27m
total). Crest levels are: left 7.09mAOD, central 7.4mAOD, right 7.09mAOD. Pier
and wing wall height 1.98m. | Contains all flows. Weir can become
non-modular at highest flows. Data from the Acoustic Time of Flight installed
100m upstream of the weir in 2009 have been integrated into the rating to
improve the high flow accuracy. Previous rating overestimated high flows. New
rating has reduced flows by up to 10% for peak flows on record. Low flow
accuracy affected by variable shoaling directly upstream of weir. A timber weir
d/s of the Crump, with a rectangular notch low flow section was installed in
06/2001 to allow water to be abstracted to feed the town leat. This is
vulnerable to debris build up and can affect sensitivity of flow through central
weir crest. Crump weir does not fully drown, but u/s flood storage ponds prevent
large discharge over weir. One peak flow rating applied across period of record
with the exception of the Jan 1988 high flow event where there are two temporary
ratings applied. No bypassing expected. | Suspect data 28/07/2001 -
23/08/2001, resulting from backing up from an informal weir which was installed
immediately downstream of the Crump in 06/2001. Flood retention ponds upstream,
in operation from 01/1991. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Catchment of moderate
relief on Old Red Sandstone and Devonian grits and shales, with wooded, incised
valleys. Substantially natural catchment but flood retention ponds (from
01/1991) alter high flow response. High baseflow for the relief of the
catchment. | |

Velocity area station modified multiple times throughout lifespan. ADVP
installed in 2009 to improve high flows and account for a variable backwater
effect from Loe Pool. | Velocity area station. Originally (1968) a
velocity-area station in a formalised rectangular channel, 4m wide, with natural
bed control. Informal broad-crested weir and sluice to power a water wheel,
installed in 1975, 3m d/s as a temporary control which was then removed in 1976.
Between 1976-1977 return to natural control followed by installation of a broad
crested weir in 1977. Original gauging station closed and demolished in 1989. In
2003, the site reopened as a natural channel section in the same location as the
original gauging station for low flows. In 2009, the station was relocated 200m
upstream to County Bridge to estimate high flows. | At the original site,
the station was bypassed during high flow events. Early ratings based on current
meter gaugings for natural section. CEH rating used for post-weir period until
station closed in 1989 as this provides the best fit to gaugings for this
period. Backwatering effect can be influenced by penstock control at Loe Pool
outflow. Measurement recommenced in 2003 at the old gauging station location but
without the old hydraulic structures which were removed during the upgrade of
the flood defence scheme. An ADVP was installed in 2009 to improve the existing
rating and account for the backwater effect. The current site here has not yet
bypassed (2021). One common upper limb covering the period 2003 to present with
variable lower limbs. Flows from 2009 onwards are calculated using a combination
of index velocity and stage-discharge, typically the stage-discharge
relationship is used and then the index rating takes over at peak flows. The
station is known to experience backwatering when Loe Pool is > 5.1 mAOD, but
the direct flow measurement takes this into account. The ADVP has provided
evidence that the backwater effect has so far (2021) had a greater impact
causing elevated levels on the falling limb. Multiple peak flow ratings across
period of record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Natural catchment. 70%
drains the Carnmenellis Granite. The remainder is made up of grits, shales and
slates of Devonian age. Upper catchment mainly granite, lower catchment fine
granite slates of the Maylor series. Subdued response to rainfall. Mainly
agricultural. Good example of a Cornish stream. No major changes to
catchment. | Moderate influence from public water supply and industrial
abstractions, and mine pumping. |

Crump Profile weir with substantial modification of flows owing to exports
to Stithians Reservoir. | Crump profile weir with 4.88m crest length, wing
walls and flood banks at height of 2.2m. Weir face retrofitted with Low Cost
Baffles and vertically mounted eel tiles in April 2014. Station approximately 4
miles downstream of Stithians reservoir (Wendron Moor). | Modular at all
recorded stages. No drowning out. Verified by survey of wrack mark levels
following 11/2012 flood, the highest on record. Gauged to 0.37m (2.5 cumecs)
with good fit to theoretical rating, but insensitivity means low flows are
susceptible to errors. Good theoretical peak flow rating curve applied across
period of record. Confirmed by gaugings to 0.37m and all flows contained in
bank. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Moderate to steep catchment draining the
Carnmenellis Granite, with small area of metamorphosed shales and grits. Granite
well weathered, giving high baseflow. Responsive to heavy rainfall. No major
changes to catchment. | Abstraction for public water supply. Some
industrial usage produces unpredictable hydrographs. Substantial modification to
flows owing to exports from Stithians Reservoir (4 miles upstream). |

Three-bay compound Crump weir. Flows regulated and influenced by PWS from
Colliford Reservoir since construction in 1983. | Three-bay compound Crump
profile weir, middle crest lengths 1.75m and side crests 2.75m (total 7.25m).
Wing walls at 1.7m. | Flood banks contain flows up to wingwalls. Fully
modular. Pre-1983 catchment had a natural flow regime; post-1983, flows are
attenuated by Colliford reservoir. Now no bypassing as flows are
moderated/contained by the reservoir. One theoretical peak flow rating applied
across period of record. Confirmed by gaugings to 0.6m. | Suggest only the
pre-1983 record is used for flood frequency estimation and as such Peak Flow
data are rejected post-1983. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Majority of upper
catchment on granite intrusion of Bodmin Moor. Hill tops are rounded with some
peat; valleys can be steep. Lower part of catchment underlain by metamorphosed
Devonian slates. Entirely rural before reservoir built; some abandoned china
clay pits. Baseflow high from storage in kaolinised granite. Colliford reservoir
began to fill in 1983. Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.982 and should be used with the
pre-reservoir part of the records. Post-reservoir FARL is 0.635. | Since
filling of Colliford Reservoir river has been subject to flow regulation and
public water supply exports. Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

Three-bay compound Crump profile weir with minimal artificial interference
with natural flow regime. | Three-bay compound Crump profile weir, middle
crest length 3m and side crests 4m each (total 11m). Wing walls and floodbanks
at 2.05m. | Thought to be fully modular but evidence suggests that in 2012
when twice, the peak level reached more than 1m stage, the weir may have
drowned. This is still to be confirmed. Upstream subject to significant
siltation/sedimentation. Weed growth problems. Two peak flow ratings applied
across period of record. | Peak flows rejected 1971-2006 as stilling well
issues causing significant under-recording of peak river levels. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Rises on the Caradon Hill granites. Elongated, linear catchment
springing from southernmost outcrop of Bodmin Granite. Great bulk of the
catchment on Devonian slates and shales interspersed with tuffs and lavas.
Moderate relief. Land use is low-grade agriculture, grazing and some
afforestation. No major changes to catchment. | Natural to within 10% at
Q95, minimal interference with natural flow regime. |

Compound Crump profile weir with tailwater recorder. Flows influenced by
Colliford and Siblybank reservoirs. | Compound Crump profile weir with
tailwater recorder, with middle crest length 3.5m and 2 side crests of 6.5m
(16.5m total). Piers at 1.75m, wing walls at 2.5m. Superseded velocity-area
station 48002 (Fowey at Restormel One), from which pre-1973 data is taken. |
Flood banks contain flows up to wing wall height, though drowning occurs
~0.8-1.0m. Upstream cableway, fish counter. Theoretical rating to 0.9m (~25
cumecs), updated in 2011 to fit gaugings above this level. Colliford Reservoir
began to fill in July 1983. Recent gaugings and analysis from a tailwater
recorder show that the weir goes non-modular from a stage of approx 1 m and is
totally drowned above 1.3 m. However drowning is dealt with through rating by
gaugings. Rating revised following gauging of 11/2010 event. Gaugings taken
during 12/2012 floods confirmed this. Bypassing on left hand bank during 2012
flood but insignificant (<5%). Three peak flow ratings across period of
record. Ratings sound across the range as max gauging is approx max recorded
stage. | Gap in peak flow rating record from October to December 1993 due
to upgrade of the fish counter and remedial work on weir crest . Peak Flow data
are rejected post-1983. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Moderate relief catchment whose headwaters drain the kaolinised
granite of Bodmin Moor. Middle and low reaches drain Devonian slates and grits.
Some valley storage in gravels. Low grade agriculture, grazing, some forestry
and cultivation. Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.985 and should be used with the
pre-reservoir part of the records. Post-reservoir FARL is 0.920. | Runoff
reduced by public water supply abstraction, causing substantial modifications to
flow. 12-13% of the catchment is impounded - Colliford (1983) & Siblybank
(1969) reservoirs . Other public water supply exports also affect the flow. |

Velocity area open channel flood warning gauge on channel with remarkably
stable cross section. | Open channel flood warning gauge. | Channel
section shown to have remarkably stable cross section so good confidence in
derived rating and flow data (Gauged to within 80% of QMED). One peak flow
rating across period of record. Rated by gaugings. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
The north of the catchment consists of the St. Austell granite intrusion.
The southern portion of this granite has undergone extreme weathering and the
resultant china clays are extensively mined. The Devonian sediments within the
catchment consist of the fossiliferous slates of the Meadfoot Beds south of the
St. Austell granite, the interbedded grey slate and light brown sandstone of the
Grampound Grits and over the majority of the southern section, the slates and
sandstones of the Veryan, Portscatho, Falmouth and Mylor Series. As a result of
this impermeable geology there is a ready response to rainfall. No major changes
to catchment. | Extensive china clay mining and historical metalliferous
mining in a large part of the catchment. Apart from that the catchment is
predominately rural. |

Thin plate weir installed in 1988 and replaced in 2001. | Station
opened in 1988 with a thin plate weir, approximately 4m wide. New stilling well,
hut and new thin plate weir since September 2001. Removed from peak flows
dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Unknown change in control
in February 1998 which led to re-working of the rating. Banks have collapsed
twice. Leaking weir in September 2000. Often bypasses at high flows, bankfull at
0.952m. Rating history is complex when compared to station history but matches
gaugings from each period well. Multiple ratings applied across period of
record. The most recent is valid from September 2001 when work rebuilding
gauging station was completed and based on gaugings since 2001, does not account
for bypassing. Current rating is in place to bankfull. Acoustic Time of Flight
installed in March 2015 to improve the rating at the low end when it is
difficult to gauge. Bypassing is a known problem and further work needs to be
carried out to validate the rating at high flows since the station was
rebuilt. | | Igneous catchment, granite with some areas of
alluvium. Land use is mostly rural/agricultural with little urbanisation. No
major changes to catchment. | Station affected by a pumping station.

Flat V weir opened in 1994 gauging a mainly rural catchment. | Station
opened in 1994. Flat V weir, crest length approximately 4.0m wide. |
Relatively straight approach. High sediment loads. Bankfull at 2.5m. Three
peak flow ratings across period of record. Change in downstream maintenance
regime has resulted in gradual infilling of channel and drowning of the weir
from an increasingly lower level (0.33m). Early drowning and In addition impacts
from backing up from Bissoe bridge has resulted in a rating change from October
2011 based on extensive gauging. Acoustic Time of Flight was installed in 2013
due to the unstable stage discharge relationship. Therefore good confidence in
data from 2011 onwards. | Data removed from 2020 temporarily due to
reliability issues. | The catchment consists mostly of Devonian slates and
sandstones and Granite. Also with some areas of alluvium, Greenstones and Quartz
Porphyry. Land use mostly rural with some urbanisation. No major changes in
catchment. | No major influences to flow regime. |

Velocity area station, with a concrete low flow control and a cableway,
replaced an unreliable station at Grogley/Polbrook, 1km downstream, in 1954.
Site closed March 2019. | Open channel velocity area station replaced an
unreliable station at Grogley/Polbrook, 1km downstream, in 1964. A concrete low
level bed control was built in 1980 and a new cableway in December 2000. Site
closed March 2019. | Flood banks contain flow at the gauging section, but
bypassing will occur (and is estimated) at higher flows. Control rebuilt (raised
embankments, wingwalls) and structural repairs made to approach channel in 2000.
Multiple peak flow ratings across the period of record including an Index
Velocity rating from 2008 onwards. Further check made on 2012 event magnitude
using correlation with the adjacent River Fowey catchment and rainfall-runoff
modelling. This estimate, together with data from the Acoustic Doppler was used
to revise the high flow rating for period of record (full rating review carried
out in 2013 and applied back to 1980 when the low level bed control was
installed). This analysis refuted previous estimates produced after the 1993
event and gaugings taken in 1981. However as there is better confidence in the
2012 analysis the rating has been revised on this basis. | Early peaks are
from Grogley 1958-1964 - hence very unreliable and should not be used.
Inspection of site made after 12/2012 event, wrack marks surveyed and peak flow
estimates produced using slope-area method. This takes into account bypassing
and out of bank flow at the gauge. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | The upper catchment
drains Devonian slates (variously affected by the granite) and the Bodmin Moor
Granite. Lower catchment drains Devonian slates and grits. Land use is moorland
and low grade agriculture and grazing. No major changes in catchment. |

Compound Crump weir with some issues from weed growth. Flows can be affected
by mine drainage. | Compound Crump profile weir. Width of middle crest of
1.22m and the two side crests of 1.675m each. Piers and wingwalls at a height of
1.83m with floodbanks at 3.8m. In 2023, eel pass tiles were installed along the
left hand bank outer weir and fish bristles on the centre weir. | High
flows may go out of bank, but a flood channel ensures flow is contained. May
drown at high flows. Weir was built in 1968 and superseded a velocity-area
station for which it was not possible to derive a satisfactory rating curve
because of variable weed growth. Weeds subsequently controlled by occasional
cutting, but remained an issue. One peak flow rating valid across the Crump
period of record. Rating confirmed by gaugings to 1.26 m. Max gauging during
12/2012 flood. Although weir drowned during this event existing rating was good.
As this is the highest flood peak since the station opened, record can assumed
to be good throughout. | Peak flows rejected pre-Crump (for 1957-1968)
because variable weed growth made derivation of a satisfactory velocity-area
rating impossible. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Headwaters drain two moorland granite outcrops. Majority of the catchment is
underlain by grits and shales of Devonian age, crossed by dyke swarms. Mining
spoil in the floodplain. Generally low-grade agricultural use. Slow responding
catchment with much storage. Historically some mining in catchment. |
Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Abstraction for
industrial/agricultural purposes. Mine drainage may moderately affect
flows. |

Three-bay compound weir gauging a responsive, wet catchment with headwaters
on Bodmin Moor. | Three-bay compound Crump profile weir, with middle crest
length 1.22m and side crests 3.2m (7.62m total). Divide piers 1.01m high, wing
walls 1.62m. Unusually small difference between crest elevations (the central
crest is 0.095m below the outer two crests). Fish pass easements including
vertically mounted eel tiles in the right hand bank crest/ wingwall and bristles
on the central glacis installed in March 2019. | Very seldom drowned or
outflanked; no bypassing. Possible siltation problems in summer months.
Difficult site to spot gauge due to high velocities. Theoretical rating applied
to period of record. Confirmed by gaugings to 0.4m and site never bypassed.
Since the installation of fish easements in March 2019, no significant
deviations from the current rating have been identified. A webcam is used to
identify maintenence issues. | Missing data in 02/2002 due to logger
failure during maintenance work. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Moderate relief,
responsive, wet catchment on Bodmin Moor Granite. Unusually the river occupies
marshy alluvial flats in the headwaters. No major changes to catchment. |
Flows modified by public water supply works. |

Crump profile weir, non-modular at high flows. Troubled by accretion
downstream of structure filling the fish pool. | Crump profile weir, crest
length 6m, wing walls 1.9m. | Flood banks contain flow up to 2.78m; they
may be treated as weirs for higher stages. Survey of wrack marks following the
2012 floods show that the weir was drowned at a stage of 1.558 m. Initial
analysis suggests this drowning would reduce peak flows by approximately 20%.
However insufficient gaugings are available to revise the existing empirical
rating. As such the flow data at these levels must be treated with caution.
Bypassing is unlikely at stages below structure full, although the valley
inundates upstream of the road bridge. Insensitive at low flows. Troubled by
accretion downstream of structure filling the fish pool. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Weir known to be non-modular during 2012
floods, therefore drowning known to affect station at 1.558 m. No rating
revision yet made due to a lack of gaugings. Downstream level sensor installed
in August 2022 to inform the degree of non-modularity and a high flow rating
review. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Moderately steep catchment having
subdued response, draining calcareous slates and thin limestones of the lower
Devonian. Land use is low-grade agriculture; pasture, mainly diary and mixed
farming. No major changes to catchment. | Natural catchment but mine
drainage may affect low flows. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. Industrial/agricultural abstractions and effluent returns
have minimal impact. |

Time of flight ultrasonic gauge installed upstream of road bridge in
rectangular channel cross section. Station used to issue flood warnings for
Perranporth downstream. | Acoustic Time of Flight installed upstream of
road bridge in rectangular channel cross section. Station used to issue flood
warnings for Perranporth downstream. | Above 0.61m, flows are calculated
directly by time of flight Ultrasonic gauge and high flow check gaugings have
shown good agreement. Currently gauged up to a level of 0.9m or 3.6m3/s. The
bridge downstream is not expected to impact the high flow data. Below 0.61m
stage, flows are calculated from a stage discharge relationship built up by spot
flow gaugings. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | The Bolingey Stream flows
from southeast to northwest and around the eastern edge of Perranporth. The
Bolingey Stream catchment is longer and wider than the neighbouring Perrancoombe
Stream Catchment, although the valley sides are still steep and the floodplain
comparatively narrow. There are a number of wells and springs in the upper
catchment and a number of small, offline and online, ponds. The solid geology of
the catchment is the Ladock/Grampound grit beds of the Devonian period. These
beds are composed predominantly of slate with thin beds of sandstone and cherty
carbonate layers. The drift geology consists of alluvium along the watercourse
with felsite beds. The catchment soils are predominantly well drained fine loam
and silt types, with small areas having more slowly permeable sub-soils, with
slight seasonal waterlogging. The physical characteristics of the catchment
suggest that runoff response to a rainfall event is likely to be rapid, although
mine workings may provide some attenuation. No major changes to catchment. |
Predominantly rural catchment. |

Open channel rated section located within flood defence scheme. Mostly rural
catchment. | Open channel rated section located within flood defence
scheme. Station located upstream of non-standard weir and fish pass and rated by
gauging. ADVP flow gauge also installed to assist in rating process. |
Flows contained by flood banks at site. Gauged to 75% of QMED. Site is
insensitive at low flows. Two peak flow ratings applied across the period of
record. Reasonable confidence in low flows now following gaugings after work on
fish pass and weir. Lowest gauging currently at 0.170m stage. More gaugings
needed to confirm both the low flow and high flow ratings. | | The
catchment if made up mainly of Upper and Lower Devonian slates. Because of the
low permeability of the rocks, rainfall can result in rapid runoff and
therefore, river levels generally rise quickly after rain. No major changes to
catchment. | The catchment is almost exclusively rural consisting of
farmland and moorland. |

8 cross path ultrasonic gauge full range flow site. | Cross path
ultrasonic gauge attached to 15m high bridge abutments in a deep section of
river, also held up by a stable shoal downstream. A replacement for Denby
(49001) 2.5 miles downstream which closed in March 2019. | A full range
site opened in 2015. High flows should be mostly contained although bypassing is
possible via a disused leat which flows through the embankment from the
floodplain upstream. Low flow sensitivity is maintained by a stable shoal
downstream. Flow data is currently derived from a rating developed from spot
flow gaugings up to 2.241m/ 33.2 cumecs. The rating will be a back up data
source when the flow record is direct from the ultrasonic. Paths can be impacted
by aeration within the section at higher flows. | 4 periods of missing
data in 2016/7 related to equipment/ power failures during the station
developmental phase. This data will be infilled in the near future using Denby
as a donor site. | The upper catchment drains Devonian slates (variously
affected by the granite) and the Bodmin Moor Granite. Lower catchment drains
Devonian slates and grits. Land use is moorland and low grade agriculture and
grazing. No major changes in catchment. | Crowdy Reservoir in the

Natural catchment located on the Lands End Peninsula. | A 90 degree
Vee Notch thin plate weir flanked by bevelled concrete shoulders into which
additional boards are set to control water levels in summer . Installed in 1993
to assess water resources on a remote, small natural catchment in response to an
abstraction scheme that was never developed. Now used to indicate water
resources status on the Lands End Peninsula. | There is a significant drop
to the downstream bed level which allows the weir to remain modular up to
bankfull. The site is good for low flow estimation but can suffer from sediment
encroachment behind the vee notch. The vee notch prior to July 2006 was
installed back to front with unclear impact on the data. High flows are
reasonable to bankfull at 0.7m. Gauged to 58% of QMed. 2 ratings cover the por.
Boards-in during the summer months and Boards-out during the winter months. |
Evidence of bypassing during 2 exceptionally high flows of 24/25 November
2012 and 1 January 2003. Flows under-estimated for these events which were above
a stage of 0.9m and a flow of 5 cumecs. | Granite Landsend intrusion with
micro-granite. Upper reaches of the catchment flat plateau with a mix of
moorland, bog, rough grazing, arable and daffodil agriculture. Very steep,
narrow and incised in the lower catchment to the sea. | No licenced
abstractions or discharges in the catchment. Pronounced diurnal trace manifests
in the data during the summer months. Boards in during the summer to back up the
water and fill an on-line pond. No impact on the flow record as the pond returns
water immediately upstream of the weir. |

Velocity area station. | Velocity area station, main channel 34m wide,
cableway span approx. 40m. Straight channel. | A natural rock step
downstream of road bridge forms control. Little weed growth. The river goes out
of bank for bypassing well upstream. Bypassing begins at about 3.7m on right
bank, but the rating accommodates this. Good rating established. Three peak flow
ratings applied across period of record, the most recent applied since January
1980. Rating accounts for bypass flow and fits well to gaugings. |
Historic augmentation from the Exe catchment at low flows is no longer
applicable since late 2002. Some naturalised flow data available. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Large rural catchment. Drains Dartmoor granite in south, and
Devonian shales and sandstones of Exmoor in north. Central area underlain mainly
by Culm shales and Carboniferous sandstones. Agriculture conditioned by grade 3
and 4 soils. No major catchment changes. | Significant modification to
flows owing to public water supply abstraction. |

Flat V weir built in 1998 to replace previous station built in 1973. |
Station built in 1973 with a natural, unstable, bed control. A Flat V weir
was constructed to replace this in 1998 - crest length approximately 15m
wide. | Station is bypassed by highest flows. Multiple ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from 10/1998 when weir
installation necessitated a rating change. Ratings fit well to corresponding
gaugings. A series of peak flow ratings represent the general conditions at high
flows: - Rating 6 from the start of the stage record and the high flow event on
24/12/1989 - Rating 10 from the winter of 1989 (24/12/1989) up to the changes
caused by bank modification works in 1995 - Rating 12 from the completion of
bank works in 1995 (25/04/1995) up to the completion of weir construction on
23/10/1998 - Rating 14 V2 from the construction of the weir in 10/1998 to the
present. Includes modelled upper segments Some disagreement between pre- and
post-weir rating at high flows causes higher AMAX values in latter part of the
record. Re-rated in 2009 to account for changes to the natural control in the
period before the weir construction (significantly decreasing medium and low
flows), and shoaling afterwards (decreasing low flows). The top segments of the
pre-weir ratings have been fitted to four difficult gaugings taken during an
event in 11/1986 - so comparatively low accuracy, and donot allow for subsequent
channel changes. | Suspect data 01/09/1998 to 30/11/1998 during weir
construction and commissioning. 10/2000 peak flow considered significantly
overestimated. Water abstractions at Taw Marsh, Dartmoor, ceased around 1999.
Before this, low flows would have been affected. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Flashy
regime. Catchment drains Dartmoor (Granite) in the south and is underlain mainly
by Culm Shales and Carboniferous sandstones centrally. Mainly rural catchment.
No major changes to catchment. | Runoff natural to within 10% at Q95.
Water abstractions at Taw Marsh, Dartmoor ceased around 1999. Before this date
low flows would have been affected. Cheese factory at North Taw bridge abstracts
from borehole but also compensates into river at low flow. |

Round-nosed broad-crested flat V weir with cableway constructed in 1991 to
replace previous station built in 1973. | Round-nosed broad-crested flat V
weir with cableway constructed in 1991 (station reopened on 11/09/91). Velocity
area at higher flows. Previously a natural bed control 2/11/73-6/10/81 (before
station closure). | Channel at the station approximately 17m wide. No
bypassing. Re-rating carried out for the new weir in 1991, and again in 2011 to
account for significant erosion of the middle part of the weir following high
flows in 2000. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the more
recent is valid from 10/2000. Rating fits well to gaugings up to QMED. |
Flows after the 31/12/1979 flood (01/01/1980) up to the station closure on
06/10/1981 have been removed from the archive as they are not representative.
There was shoaling around the natural control (including embedded tree debris)
and significant erosion to the banks (with a landslip on the left-hand bank in
March 1981). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Mixed geology, mostly Carboniferous
(shale, sandstone) with some areas of Permian (Knowle Sandstones) and alluvium.
Land-use is mostly rural, moorland in headwaters. Some urbanisation in the
catchment (Okehampton). | Meldon Reservoir constructed upstream in the
early 1970s which partially controls the flows since. Flows also affected by
regular releases for hydropower generation increasingly noticeable from
2007. |

Velocity area station with Flat V (truncated) triangular profile weir
operational from 2007. Flow regime influenced by a few abstractions
upstream. | Station constructed at Yeotown in 1968 as a velocity area
station with a natural bed control. In 01/1996 the original station was replaced
by Collard Bridge for health and safety reasons. Collard Bridge is a velocity
area station with a natural rock bed control, 400m upstream of the original
(Yeotown) station. The two records are treated as a continuous record due to the
small difference in the catchment area between the two sites. New Flat V
(truncated) triangular profile weir operational from 10/2007; velocity-area
rating used. | A bridge 100m upstream is used for measuring high flows.
May be bypassed. Bankfull stage at 1.5m. Multiple ratings applied across period
of record. | | The catchment area is characterized as natural with
no urbanisation, and no flood attenuation structures. The catchment is underlain
by permeable sandstones, slates and shales. Catchment soils are well-drained
fine loamy or fine silty soils over rock, with some steep slopes, and boulders
and rock locally. No major catchment changes. | Abstractions a few miles
upstream. Wistlandpound Reservoir lies in the north-east of the catchment, but
is insignificant compared to the total catchment area and has minimal influence
on river flows at the station. |

Crump weir for low flows plus rated section at higher flows. Nutscale
Reservoir in headwaters affects runoff. | Opened in 1973. Triangular
profile Crump weir for low flows, crest 4.5m wide, plus rated section at higher
flows. Station closed from September 1979 to April 1985, reopened with telemetry
facilities. | Most flows contained, but some underflow may occur. Rating
review carried out by the EA in 2010. A combination of theoretical rating for
the weir and best-fit curve for medium and high flows now used. Validity of the
curve beyond 0.8m is doubtful. Badly eroded weir repaired with stainless steel
cap in the summer of 2016. Also, the downstream baffle has been modified to
allow fish passage. One peak flow rating across period of record. |
Between April 1973 and 1992 only daily mean flow available on EA archive.
Data marked as suspect 9/5/16 - 18/5/16 & 7/9/16 due to works on the weir.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Geology of Mid
Devonian Grits and Lower Devonian Old Red Sandstone. The topography in the upper
reaches of the river is typically steep sided, wooded valleys, draining Exmoor.
Land-use is rural. No major changes in catchment. | A small reservoir

Velocity area station constructed in 1966 with flat V fibreglass weir
installed in 1982. Drains Brendon Hills in a predominantly rural catchment. |
Opened in 1966 as a velocity-area station. Flat V fibreglass weir, 4.5m
crest, installed in 1982. | It is likely that out of bank flow occurs
before bankfull reached at station. Rated section at high flows. Two ratings
applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from 11/1982 when weir
installed. Good fit to gaugings. Works done 2015/16 due to d/s erosion, no
impact on weir. | Station closed from 1/07/80 to 6/6/83 for weir
construction. Between 01/1967 and 11/1973 only daily mean flows available on EA
archive. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Drains Brendon Hills, relief is steep with many
deeply incised valleys. Geology - Devonian Slates, Siltstones and Sandstones.
Land use predominantly rural - pasture with coniferous woodland on valley sides.
No major catchment changes known. | Runoff natural to within 10% at Q95.
Fish farm and mill upstream do not significantly affect daily mean flow. |

Flume gauge on the River Axe installed to measure medium and low flows. |
Also known as Henley, owned by Bristol water. | Flume gauge installed
to measure medium and low flows. Data from 50s/60s considered bad. Leaking
sluice gate, 0.8-0.9m goes over the top of gate. | Data from 1956-1968.
Reopened on 01/06/1994 at same site. | Axe rises as underground river from
cave at Wookey Hole. Geology includes measures of Old Red Sandstone,
Carboniferous Limestone and Triassic conglomerates. Complex structure with
numerous springs and swallows due to fissured limestones with impermeable beds.
Catchment area probably underestimated: northern and western limits of
topographic catchment approximate to the underground catchment but the eastern
limit of the latter likely to lie considerably farther east than the former.
Land use is rural. | Abstraction and discharge u/s for mirror pool and
paper mill. |

Flat V fibreglass weir built in 1981 to replace previous rated section.
Station is part of the flood warning system for Taunton. | Station opened
in 1961 as a rated section with an unstable bed. Flat V fibreglass weir (for low
flows), 6.0m wide, built in 08/1981. Located 0.5km upstream of confluence with
River Tone. Road bridge 40m d/s. Station is part of the flood warning system for
Taunton. | Flows >7 cumecs result in out of bank flow approx. 180m
upstream of station and bypassing occurs. Above 18.7mAOD flows are affected by
backwater from the River Tone. One rating applied across period of record
despite control change in 1981. Rating is a combination of theoretical rating
for the weir and best-fit curve for medium and high flows. | Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Catchment of mixed geology - predominantly Jurassic limestone,
sandstone and marl, with headwaters in Brendon Hills. Impermeable rock and steep
sloping upper catchment result in rapid response to rainfall. Land use: mainly
rural -agriculture. No major changes in catchment. | Runoff natural to
within 10% at Q95. No significant abstractions or discharges. Flood attenuation
reservoir constructed at Norton Fitzwarren, approximately 2 km upstream,
commissioned 12/2007. |

Crump profile weir for low flows with velocity area section for higher flows
further downstream. Site subject to vandalism. | Crump profile weir for
low flows, crest 6.71m broad, located approximately 300m upstream of Ashford
Mill House. Velocity area station for higher flows downstream. Site subject to
vandalism. | Modular limit of 0.6m. Downstream weed growth affects the
stability of the stage-discharge relationship. Bypassing of station at high
flows; extensive floodplain storage occurs next to the station before bankfull
reached. Rating reviewed by EA in 2016. Peak flow rating curve is a combination
of theoretical for weir and best-fit curve for medium and high flows. Scatter in
gaugings at high flows although general shape of rating confirmed. Modelled top
segment for out of bank flows. | Peak flows between 1989 and 1991 are
marked as rejected pending a rating review. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Very
responsive, impermeable catchment, predominantly comprising of Lower Lias clays.
Land use is rural. No major catchment changes. | Flows influenced by minor
groundwater abstraction, but augmented by effluent returns; evidence of

Crump profile weir built in 1968 to replace previous rated section.
Compensation flow from Clatworthy and smaller Luxhay Reservoirs in the
headwaters maintain low flows. | Located west of Taunton, the station is
important for the town's flood warning. Opened in 1961 as a rated section with
cableway and with an unstable bed, 50 m upstream of a road bridge. Crump profile
weir built in 1968 (breadth 12.2m). Original crest tapping now removed. |
Full range station. Out-of-bank flow first occurs before bankfull; during
extreme events weir is drowned by backwater from downstream bridge, causing
floodplain inundation. Rating reviewed and extended in 2010. First limb derived
from theoretical table for weir, second & third from current meter gauging
(covers range from weir modular limit to approximately bankfull) and fourth from
hydraulic modelling for out of bank flows. Station is very insensitive at low
flow due to weed growth and plans in place to make it a compound weir. Two peak
flow ratings across the period of record, pre- and post- weir installation. |
As a velocity-area station up to 03/1968 flows were unreliable below 1.42
cumecs. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Fairly responsive catchment draining from
Brendon Hills, predominantly comprises sandstones in the upper- and clays in the
lower-catchment. Land use is rural. No major catchment changes. | Minor
surface water abstractions for public water supply; also abstraction for
agriculture. Compensation flow from Clatworthy and smaller Luxhay Reservoirs in
the headwaters maintain low flows but neither reservoir is large enough to
influence the catchment's fairly rapid response to rainfall. |

Crump profile weir for low flows, set within trapezoidal concrete flanks and
topped with the natural banks, becomes velocity-area station at high flows.
Sutton Bingham Reservoir in headwaters. | Station was installed in
November 1963 and is located next to a sewage treatment works. Crump profile
weir for low flows, set within trapezoidal concrete flanks and topped with the
natural banks, becomes velocity-area station at high flows. Station moved
slightly in 1989, due to stilling-well problems; bank repairs undertaken in
1997/98. | Two peak levels recorded before weir finished but flows can be
calculated from rating as station becomes velocity area at high flows. Velocity
area station (affected by downstream weed growth) used to measure flows >1.55
m3/s. Flows >2m are less reliable. All but highest floods contained. Some out
of bank events on right bank but modelled so these flows are included. Highest
flows can be gauged at upstream bridge. Cableway cannot be used above 3.8 m, in
which case road bridge is used, up to 4.25 m. Floodplain water does not flow
appreciably, though may extend 200 m from river. Rating reviewed in Jan 2001.
One rating applied across period of record. Bank repairs 1997/98 might have
affected the rating and may influence cableway gaugings. Issues with silt build
up. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Fairly responsive catchment with
Oxford Clay and Great Oolite in the upper catchment, Yeovil Sands and Inferior
Oolite in the lower catchment. Land use is predominantly rural. No major
catchment changes. | Sutton Bingham Reservoir in headwaters. Abstraction
for public water supply. Medium & low flows influenced by variable
abstractions & compensation. |

Crump weir with crest tapping, situated in bridge culvert. Rating has
shifted over time due to tree and shrub growth downstream. | Station
opened in 1966. Crump weir (breadth: 7.87m) with crest tapping, situated in
bridge culvert. | Full range station. Rated section at high flows.
Backwater effects outside of modular range. Tree and shrub growth downstream.
Silty and weedy river. Throttling of high flows by bridge, and downstream bends
act as control therefore flow hydrograph exhibits hysteresis. Weir drowning more
frequent prior to downstream channel improvements in 1966. Rating has shifted
over time due to tree and shrub growth downstream. The POR maximum flood
occurred in 05/1979 - the exceptional peak flow of 173 cumecs is a result of a
new rating, which is supported by modelling work (including floodplain flows)
undertaken by Mott McDonald. Multiple ratings applied across period of record,
the most recent is valid from 01/1990. Significant scatter exists in gaugings,
possibly to due drowning. | Flows calculated from crest tapping prior to
1/4/67 are erroneous due to leak in float well. Various rejected years between
1970 and 1985 due to 15-min data being unavailable and the flow calculated from
two stage values per day leading to uncertainties. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). |
Fairly responsive catchment predominantly comprising Oxford Clay with small
band of Upper Greensand and Gault in headwaters. Land use is predominantly
rural. No major changes to catchment. | Balance between abstraction and
discharge, so near natural. |

Crump profile weir for low flows and velocity-area station for higher flows.
Avalon Lake scheme down stream of weir. | Station opened in 1964. Crump
profile weir for low flows, crest 5.18m wide. Velocity area station for flows
greater than 1.84 cumecs. | Full range station. All flows in bank at
station but may go out of bank upstream before bankfull at site. Daily flow
rating reviewed in 01/2011. Rating unconfirmed by gaugings at highest flows.
Lower section is rating for theoretical weir. Reliable extension of rating to
bankfull but no data to allow extension beyond this. One peak flow rating across
period of record. Bed mounted ADCP for non-modular. | Downstream summer
weed growth can affect modular limit. Water year 1965/1966 rejected due to the
likely underestimation of true AMAX. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Mixed geology:
Upper catchment - Carboniferous Limestone. Lower catchment - Sandstone. Land use
predominantly agriculture. Pasture land on both sides of river. The upper
catchment is sustained by limestone groundwater; therefore although the Somerset
levels respond quickly to rainfall, there is a long recession as the limestone
drains. No major catchment changes. | Avalon Lake downstream of weir now
gone. Effluent returns cause some flow augmentation. Minor groundwater
abstractions in catchment. More discharge than abstraction. |

Crump profile weir for low flows and rated section. Bruton Dam flood storage
reservoir was built in catchment in 1983 after extensive flooding in the
town. | Station is located west of Lovington and was opened in 1964. Crump
profile weir for low flows, crest 6.71m broad, then rated section for flows >
2.2 cumecs. | Downstream summer weed growth affects the stability of the
stage-discharge relationship. Issues with gravel accumulation u/s. Section is
deep and contains all but extreme peaks. Lower section is rating for theoretical
weir; reliable extension of rating to bankfull (3.9m stage) but no data to allow
extension beyond this, although all but extreme peaks contained in deep section.
Station rebuilt in 1998, no alteration to the section adjacent to the weir.
Rating reviewed in 01/2001. One rating applied across period of record. Reliable
extension of rating to bankfull but no data to allow extension beyond this.
Reasonable fit to gaugings. POR maximum flow of 142 cumecs in 05/1979 is derived
from the latest rating, but subject to considerable uncertainty owing to
extrapolation. | No daily mean flows between 27/7/98 and 1/11/98. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Headwaters fed by Mendip and Salisbury Plain springs. Geology
comprises Oxford Clay and Great Oolite in the upper catchment and Yeovil Sands
and Inferior Oolite in the lower-catchment. Land use is predominantly rural with
very little urbanisation. | Natural regime. Bruton Dam flood storage
reservoir was built in 1983 after extensive flooding in the town in 1968, 1979
and 1982. It drains 21% of the catchment, much of it being the more upland and
fast-responding areas. |

Compound Crump profile weir; velocity-area for flows greater than 4.4
cumecs. Weed growth downstream affects rating in summer. | Station opened
in 1965. Compound Crump profile weir, approx. 330m upstream of Cary Bridge.
Centre section 3.05m broad, two side sections 1.22m broad. Velocity area station
for flows greater than 4.4 cumecs (downstream summer weed growth affects the
stability of stage-discharge relationship). Truncated up and down stream. |
Full range station, banks containing all but exceptional floods. Rating
reviewed in 2011. Separate curve for the first two years after construction.
Weed growth d/s affects rating in summer & high flows. No apparent
bypassing. New curve derived from gaugings from 1992 allowing for drowning and
in-channel vegetation growth. | Various rejected years between 1965 and
1992 due to 15-min data being unavailable and the flow calculated from two stage
values per day leading to uncertainties. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Catchment
predominantly of Lower Lias and Oolitic Limestone. Land use is rural with no
large built up areas. No major catchment changes. | Minor groundwater
abstractions & some augmentation from effluent returns. Overall more
discharge than abstraction. |

Crump profile weir opened in 1971 with velocity area station for higher
flows in a predominantly Old Red Sandstone and Marl catchment. | Station
opened in 1971. Crump profile weir, crest 4m broad. Velocity area station for
flows >1.654 cumecs. Flat pasture on both sides of the river. |
Vegetated banks. Likely to go out of bank before bankfull at station. River
bed silty and stony. Flood diversion channel just downstream of weir on
left-hand bank - excess water channelled across field to prevent flooding
downstream. Accretion of silt on right-hand side of weir. Highest flows exceed
bankfull, gaugings needed to confirm rating in this range. Two ratings applied
across period of record. Rating is acceptable to 0.4m, there have been no higher
flow gaugings since the last review to be able to confirm the rating beyond low
flows. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Catchment, predominantly of Old Red
Sandstone and Marl, whose headwaters drain the Quantock Hills. Land use is
agricultural. No major catchment changes. | Runoff natural to within 10%
at Q95. Minor surface water abstraction. |

Large crump Weir 200m south of Iwood farm. Extensive out of bank flow. |
Station located 200m south of Iwood Farm and was opened in 1966 as a rated
section. Between 08/1971 and 03/1973 a Crump weir was installed, crest 5m broad.
Flood warning station for Congresbury approx. 1km downstream. | Bankfull
1.3m, with bypassing at high flows and extensive out of bank flow on surrounding
pasture during large events. Bypasses at high flows. Peak flow rating revised
2015. Theoretical rating extended beyond bankfull using modelled data. More
gaugings needed to verify the rating curve for the middle and high flow ranges.
In 2007, a bed mounted ADCP has been installed to improve resilience. In the
summer of 2013, low cost fish passage baffles were installed on the front face
of the weir and a vertical eel pass has been installed on the right bank wing
wall. Hydropower added which has affected gauging. Out of bank modelling been
done. | Station closed 02/1975 to 08/1985; reopened with telemetry
facilities. Very patchy record before 1975. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | River rises
from western slopes of the Mendips. Catchment geology comprises carboniferous
limestone, Keuper Marl and estuarine alluvium. Land use is predominantly rural
with some small settlements. No major changes to catchment. | Runoff
reduced by public water supply abstraction. Blagdon reservoir (approx. 2 sq.km)
situated in headwaters. |

Flat V weir for low flow, with rated section for high flows. Designed by
Flood Defence. | Station is located 2km north west of the village of
Milverton and was opened in 1991 as part of the flood warning system for
Taunton. Designed by Flood Defence. Flat V weir for low flow, with rated section
for high flows. | Original rating was applied across period of record,
based on theoretical flat V equation, altered because gaugings show lower than
expected flows. Some scatter in gaugings and ratings are poor fit beyond 0.6m.
Two peak flow ratings across period of record. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Catchment predominantly comprising Permo-Triassic and Carboniferous
mudstone, siltstone and sandstone. Land-use is rural. No major catchment
changes. | Sewage treatment works upstream of site, and pig processing
factory (having stream support borehole) 100m upstream of that. Discharge from
sewage works is greater than abstraction. |

A standard Flat V weir on the River Alham installed to investigate the
effects of quarrying on groundwater. | | Standard Flat V weir, 2.5m
wide, 1:10 cross-slope. Station opened in June 1982 to investigate the effects
of quarrying on groundwater. Low flow control, structure drowns out at
0.3m. | Some flows in 1984 and 1986 suspect due to sticking chart
recorder, flows in 1985 missing due to chart recorder failure; replaced at end
of 1986. | Predominantly limestone geology. Land use is pasture. |
Relatively high mean annual runoff suggests contributing area is greater
than the topographic catchment area. |

Formalised trapezoidal section installed in 1970 to replace previous
velocity-area station. Bed-mounted hydro-acoustic gauge installed in 2006. |
Station located 3km upstream of the confluence with the River Avon in
operation since 1947. Formalised trapezoidal section with a 6m wide non-standard
weir and a cableway. Replaced downstream velocity-area station in 1970
(superseded due to low banks and backwater from the Avon at high flows).
Bed-mounted hydro-acoustic gauge installed 09/2006. | Flow measurement is
imprecise at medium to high flows. One rating applied across period of record.
Station rated to 19.83 cumecs. There are significant errors in the rating curve
at high flows due to backwater effects from the River Avon. ADCP installed but
not matching peak stage timings due to velocities. | Flood records for
period prior to 04/1970 (before installation of formalised trapezoidal section)
are poor. Pre-2006 peak flows rejected because spot flows suggest high flows
were underestimated prior to installation of the acoustics. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7)
and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Catchment flat and low-lying,
mainly clay with steeper Chalk eastern boundaries. Kimmeridge and Gault Clay
producing fairly sharp response to rainfall. Land use is predominantly rural. No
major catchment changes. | Flows influenced by some groundwater pumping
& surface water abstractions. Mill operation and hydro-power upstream.
Runoff increased by effluent returns. |

record. The most recent (from 1991) includes two modelled upper limbs. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Catchment of mixed geology - predominantly clay.
Headwaters fed by limestone springs. Steep valleys downstream of reservoir on
impermeable Coal Measures. Land-use is rural. Chew Valley Lake (a reservoir),
provides significant storage -started to fill in the mid 1950s. | Large
storage reservoir of Chew Valley Lake in headwaters; controls approx 40% of
catchment area. Flows significantly affected by seasonal compensation flows and
surface water abstractions for public water supply and industry. |

Trapezoidal critical depth flume upstream of confluence with the River Avon.
Ultrasonic gauge installed 2007. | The station is located approximately
1km south of Bath and was opened in 1961. Trapezoidal critical depth flume 2.4km
upstream of confluence with the River Avon. Ultrasonic gauge installed
11/2007. | Full range station. The channel bed in the vicinity of the
station consists of large stones and alluvium and is lined in parts with trees
and vegetation. Algal growth affects sensitivity at low flows. Bypassing may
occur on left-hand bank above 3m stage. No backwater action. Single rating is
based on the theoretical rating for the structure, and confirmed by a few
gaugings up to 2.5m. Banks works been done u/s and d/s. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | The Midford catchment is made up of two parallel river systems; the
Cam Brook and Wellow Brook. Both run almost the length of the catchment before
joining at Midford. The area is mainly rural although there are urban areas at
Midsomer Norton and Radstock with smaller centres at Paulton and Peasedown St.
John. Predominantly impermeable catchment - Lias with Coal Measures. Deep steep
sided valleys; responds rapidly to rainfall. No major catchment changes. |
Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge. Surface water
abstraction takes place for public water supply. Flows increased by effluent
returns. |

Opened as one of the first compound Crump weirs in Britain in 1963. Situated
90m downstream of Great Somerford road bridge. | Station located near the
village of Great Somerford, 4km south east of Malmesbury and was opened in 1963
as one of the first Compound Crump weirs in Britain. Compound Crump profile weir
having low flow crest between two flanking sections. Situated 90m downstream of
Great Somerford road bridge. | Full range station, all except extreme
flows (e.g. 07/1968 drowned the structure) contained. Flows go out of bank
upstream before bankfull at the structure. Full review carried out in 03/1998 to
try to explain discrepancy between original rating & recent low flow
gaugings. Still some uncertainty whether the adopted rating is the most
appropriate. 5 year review carried out in 2010 but no changes were made. Further
review carried out in 2015-16 and lowest section of the rating was updated to
use a more recent coefficient of discharge. One peak flow rating across period
of record. Modelling being done to asses bypassing and new routine for gauging
now in place. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Catchment mainly comprises Oolitic Limestone, with left bank tributaries
draining off clays. Generally rapid to peak but slow recession. The upper
catchment is dominated by the limestone of the Cotswold Hills. Land use is
predominantly rural. No major catchment changes. | Flows augmented by
groundwater scheme in catchment. |

Trapezoidal critical depth flume on incised channel. Bed-mounted
hydro-acoustic gauge installed 2007. | Station opened in 1966. Trapezoidal
critical depth flume on incised channel. Two bridges approx. 50 m downstream.
Bed-mounted hydro-acoustic gauge installed 07/2007. As of 2019, station in need
of significant maintenance, concrete is spalling. Gaugings are consistently
positive, d/s blocks maybe affecting flows. | Full range station. Slight
bypassing on right-hand bank. The river bed is composed of river alluvium and
gravel and is lined with trees and vegetation. Algal growth affects sensitivity
at low flows. Unadjusted step-changes in summer months due to weir cleaning and
weed management are evident throughout the record. Mean Annual Flood adequately
gauged; 100-year flow estimate within modular limit of the flume. Theoretical
rating applied across whole period of record. | Backing up from bridge
downstream occurred during 07/1968 flood (flow ~30 cumecs). Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | The catchment area upstream of the gauging station is
characterised as predominantly rural but with urban centres at Midsomer Norton
and Radstock. The watercourse lies on a thin band of the Trias and Lias that
overlays the coal measures of the Somerset coal field and the catchment is
dominated by geology of Lias and Oolitic Limestone. Very steep-sided valleys and
rapid rainfall response. No major catchment changes. | Natural to within

Trapezoidal critical depth flume with ultrasonic gauge. Some of the
vegetation and trees on banks encroach on the river and possibly restrict
flow. | Station located approx. 2km east of Chippenham and was opened in
1970. Trapezoidal critical depth flume. Ultrasonic gauge installed 11/2007. |
Full range station. Level only station prior to 07/1969. Stanley Bridge, 100
- 150m upstream, causes throttling at high flows. Significant bypassing occurs
at highest flows (e.g. 07/2007). One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Top end modelled and verified by ultrasonic readings. The river bed is
composed of gravel and is lined with trees and vegetation, some of the
vegetation and trees encroach on the river and possibly restrict flow. Water
levels frequently reach the structure's capacity. Few high flow gaugings.
Suffers from backing up, mainly at high flows. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
The catchment is predominantly rural with the towns of Calne and Lyneham the
only significant urban areas. Geologically, the catchment is dominated by Oxford
Clay and other impermeables with Chalk outcrops in headwaters. No major
catchment changes. | Minor surface water abstractions and discharges in
catchment. Some milling takes place. |

Flat V weir for low flows, rated section for high flows. Located upstream of
the confluence with the River Avon (Bristol). | Flat V weir for low flows,
crest 8m broad; rated section for high flows. Station opened in 1973 located
approx 1.5 km upstream of its confluence with the River Avon (Bristol). Situated
in rectangular sheet-piled section, 4m deep. | Full range station.
Maintenance difficult. All flows contained. One rating applied across period of
record. Rating determined at installation of the station and reviewed in 2011.
No changes have been made but the review identified that more high flow gaugings
are required. No gaugings to confirm high flow rating with confidence. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020
(WINFAP Files v9). | Predominantly clay catchment. Mainly rural with some
urbanisation. The channel is not situated at the lowest part of the valley
suggesting it may have been diverted in the past. | Runoff natural to
within 10% at the Q95. Flows occasionally affected by temporary diversions or
abstractions. |

Velocity area station with cableway next to railway bridge opened in 1969.
Acoustic Doppler equipment (ADCP) used for flow measurement 2006-2012. Briefly
reverted to Velocity Area after the ADCP failed but returned to ADCP in June
2013. | Velocity area station with cableway next to railway bridge, 4km
upstream of Bath (replacement for Bath St James 53003), immediately downstream
of confluence with By Brook. Opened in 1969. The early part of the record is
Stage/Discharge. However, with the exception of a brief period in 2013 the flow
data since 2012 has been derived from indexed Acoustic Doppler equipment. |
Under high flow conditions the railway bridge acts as a control, causing
extensive floodplain inundation at high flows. All flows are contained through
bridge 10m downstream due to enclosing railway embankment. Deterioration of
Bathampton weir c.1.3km downstream has in the past affected low flows; acoustic
Doppler equipment installed 15/12/2006 to improve the data. Recent works have
been carried out to repair the weir and from 2012 onwards the station reverted
to velocity area with flows produced using stage/discharge. Deep section and low
velocities render flows below 5 m3/s inaccurate. One rating applied across
period of record. Good fit to maximum out of bank gauging at ~3.5m. Full rating
review carried out in March 1998. | Daily flows suspect during Summer 1976
due to extremely low levels, and during June 1997 when a sluice gate at
Bathampton Weir failed. POTs missing December 1971 and October 1974 due to a
lack of high-resolution data. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Catchment of mixed geology: predominantly clays and limestone;
eastern tributaries rise from Chalk. Land-use is mainly rural, some
urbanisation. No major catchment changes. | Abstraction from surface
water/groundwater for public water supply. Flows augmented by groundwater scheme
in catchment and effluent returns. |

Crump profile weir opened in 1978 with pumping station upstream of gauging
station. | Station opened in 1978. Crump profile weir, crest 7.5m
broad. | Full range structure, but drowns out at high flows. Estimated
100-year flow contained by structure and it appears to have been over-designed.
One theoretical rating applied across period of record. Gaugings can be
difficult at site due to deep and slow moving water upstream. The site also
suffers from siltation behind the weir. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Geology
is mainly Coal Measures to the east of the River Frome, and Lias to the west.
Responsive catchment, however detention lakes 4 to 6km upstream may truncate
peaks. Land use is predominantly rural contains the town of Yate. No major
changes to catchment. | Detention lakes upstream of gauge. Pumping station
upstream of gauging station. |

Flat V weir primarily installed as a low flow station in 1981. |
Primarily installed as a low flow station, opened in 1981 approximately 4km
west of Corsham. Flat V weir 8m wide for low flow, then rated section for higher
flows. Wing walls at 2m contain most floods. | The channel bed consists of
large stones. Highest observed flow at bankfull (2.11m), as which level flows
become obstructed by a footbridge at the station. Meanders downstream. Single
rating developed in 1996, based on theoretical weir rating and gaugings, applied
retrospectively to the beginning of the record, modelling underway for the top
end. Bend down stream causes inflection in rating. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
The catchment area upstream of the station is mainly rural, with limited
urban areas at Battiford, Box and Colerne. The area is underlain by strata of
the middle Jurassic period, with Great Oolite limestone as the upper strata over
most of the catchment. Erosion has exposed Midford Sands of the Upper Lias in
some areas. Slowly permeable calcareous soils dominate along the river valleys.
No major catchment changes. | Minor surface water abstractions in
catchment. Gate movement upstream. |

Flat V weir for low flows and concrete rectangular rated section for high
flows. Runoff figures suggest topographical and groundwater catchment areas do
not coincide. | Station is located in the centre of Trowbridge and was
opened in 1984. Flat V weir (1:10) for low flows, then concrete rectangular
rated section (high flows), 7.13m wide, set in deep culvert with vertical walls.
Ultrasonic gauge installed 12/2006. | Good approach, large downstream
fall. Backing up from downstream due to debris. Rating for this station was
reviewed in 2001. Previously two ratings existed for this station, the first was
used from 1984 to 1992 based on theoretical rating for the weir. The second
rating was fitted to the gaugings and used from 1992. Now one rating is applied
across period of record; reviewed in 2011. A new top limb was derived using plot
points from a time of flight ultrasonic installed at the site. | First few
months to 11/03/1984 not included because of apparent datum change (higher
levels in earlier record) and short gap. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9) and in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Moderate relief catchment situated along Frome gap.
Drains Chalk escarpment to the south-east with underlying geology of Jurassic
clays. Predominant land use is arable farming, but contains towns of Trowbridge
and Westbury. Runoff figures suggest topographical and groundwater catchment
areas do not coincide. No major changes to catchment. | Moderate
influences at low flows by abstractions & discharges. |

Currently an 18-path ultrasonic gauge this site was originally a VA station
prior to 1989 and has been relocated in both 1950 and 1968. | The current
site was converted to an ultrasonic gauge in March 1982. The former Thermo gauge
was upgraded during September 2019 and replaced with a nivus 18-path ultrasonic
gauge. High flows are still measured using the velocity-area method. Site humbly
started from individual staff gauge readings dating back to 1921 at Bewdley
bandstand near Bewdley Bridge. Spot flow measurements were conducted 0.5miles
upstream of Bewdley Bridge to build a stage discharge relationship. Later a
station, Bewdley Recorder, formally opened at Elan Aqueduct 2.5miles upstream of
Bewdley in 1923. However manual readings took place from the original site up
until 1950. This measuring section used for the original site became the current
location for the ultrasonic gauge at Bewdley. The installation of the site
occurred in 1968. Records prior to 1968 are of modest precision and potentially
there are inconsistencies due to datum changes. However the quality of data has
been considered overall to be high. | Multiple peak flow ratings applied
across period of record. Uncertainty about the relationship at high flows for
early record. | POTs available from 1972. The period-of-record maximum
flow is listed as 637 cumecs in March 1947, although this is based on a daily
mean flow (no instantaneous peak available) and the true peak is likely to have
been higher. Lowest flows reprocessed in 1976 for 1921-68. Pre-1968 records have
been correlated with the present station to produce a derived stage series for
the present station. Further work is required to provide more confidence to the
data series. Flows presented in NRFA apply a rating to the ultrasonic data so as
to incorporate out of bank flow. The record given here combines the Elan
Aqueduct, Bewdley Recorder, and Bewdley ultrasonic records. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Diverse catchment; wet western 50% from impermeable Palaeozoic
rocks and river gravels; drier northern 50% from Drift covered Carboniferous to
Liassic sandstones and marls. Moorland, forestry, mixed farming. |
Naturalised flow series, from 1968 only, accommodates major usages other
than g/w support. Some earlier records adjusted for Vyrnwy (1966-7). Significant
exports for public water supply and power generation; minimum flow maintained by
releases from Clywedog (built between 1965-67) and Vyrnwy Reservoirs (built
between 1881 and 1888) and Shropshire groundwater. |

Velocity area station with gauge site can measure out-of-bank flows
providing lengthy historical series of flood peaks. | Velocity area
station with gauge site can measure out-of-bank flows. | Bed not stable
with lots of silt that shifts; bed can move by up to 2m. Main control is
Chadbury weir, sluices and lock approx. 4.5km downstream. Earlier in record
gaugings were taken at Hampton Parks cableway 2.5km downstream, below confluence
with River Isbourne. Gaugings taken at the same day at Hinton were subtracted
from this to estimate flow at Evesham. There have been some errors found in
these calculations for the earlier gaugings. Now majority of gaugings taken just
downstream of the Evesham Workman Bridge above confluence with River Isbourne.
Navigation control at lock downstream. Low flow velocities can make gauging
difficult. Ratings fit spot gaugings very well including at medium to high flows
above bankfull. Coarse early low flow record owing to crude rating. Gauging
site/s can measure out-of-bank flows. | Coarse early low flow record owing
to crude rating. Pre 1937 data appear to be peaks over a high threshold that
gives an event every few years and therefore should be used with caution. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Large catchment of low relief, draining argillaceous rocks
almost exclusively. Contains some large towns, but chief land use is
agriculture. | Extensive modification to flow regime from abstractions and
returns. At low flows influenced by navigation - reach is impounded with
locking. |

Thin plate rectangular regulating weir on the Vyrnwy River. Vyrnwy Dam
immediately upstream regulates flows. | Thin plate rectangular regulating
weir on the Vyrnwy River; stone cill overflow weirs on the rivers Cownwy and
Marnant (whose flows are mostly diverted into the reservoir). Rainfall and
spatial data are currently for the natural 74 sq km catchment, whereas the area
draining to the gauging station including these catchwaters is 94.3 sq km.
Direct supply to Liverpool. | Weir 24.4m long, does not drown out. Ideal
site, very good gauge. Not wadeable and no cableway. Cownwy diversion has flat-v
weir. | Some AMAX 'flood events' are likely to be compensation events
(e.g. 1995-96). Naturalised monthly record available from 1879, daily record
from 1920. | Steep, very wet catchment draining Drift-free Silurian and
Ordovician slates and shales. | Lake Vyrnwy (built in 1880s) immediately
upstream has huge influence in regulating flood flows and greatly compromises
use for flood studies. |

Crump profile weir (3 channels) with crest tapping since 1979 replacing two
humped invert flumes installed in 1951. | Since 1979 compound Crump
profile weir (3 channels) with crest tapping. In-channel Larinier fish pass
installed in lower crest of compound structure in Feb 2013. From 1951 to 1979
two humped invert flumes, total width 7.16m, and an overflow weir at 1.45m.
Alteration carried out to lariner fish pass design from September 2019, due to
access issues for carrying out routine maintenance. Structural remediation work
also carried out on station building (ongoing). | Prone to weed growth.
Gauging undertaken downstream. Rating dubious when overflow weir in operation.
Three peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Good fit to gaugings
although high flow gaugings impractical due to weed growth. Deployable Field
Device (DFD) installed on 24/09/19 to measure level due to the main station
being out of action following structural remediation work. | Missing data
September 2019 - January 2020 due to site works, peak flow rejected during this
period. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Substantially urbanised catchment. Western half
on outcrop Coal Measures; Eastern half Mercia Mudstone Group overlain by Boulder
Clay and glacial sand and gravel. | Groundwater pumping and bulk imports
lead to low flows being dominated by Coventry sewage effluent. |

Velocity area station only until Oct 1994 when cross-path ultrasonic
installed measuring flows to bankfull. Highly regulated catchment with limited
naturalised flows available. | Velocity area station only until 1994 when
cross-path ultrasonic installed measuring flows to bankfull. Fully contained (EA
comment that it can bypass on left bank); motorised winch can gauge all floods
since 1985 (earlier, right bank only). Very prone to weed growth; considerable
variations recorded in summer stage discharge relations. | Multiple peak
flow ratings applied across period of record. Rating curve used to extract flows
above bankfull as ultrasonic gauge underestimates them. Very prone to weed
growth; much summer rating variability. High flows from US and gauging need
reconciling. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | High relief headwaters. Valleys are
broad bottomed with moderate slope and feature Boulder Clay, fluvial gravel and
extensive washlands which slow response. Outcrop solid geology Ordovician and
Silurian shales, grits and mudstones. Moorland, forestry, grazing, low grade
agriculture. | Regulation from Vyrnwy and Clywedog and PWS abstractions
have significant effect at low flows. Limited series of naturalised flows
available. |

US station opened in 1987 to replace Kidderminster Gilt Edge (54906) a short
distance upstream - providing a continuous combined series of flows in the Stour
since 1954. Station closed on 28th August 2018 due to operational issues. |
Station opened in 1987 to replace Kidderminster Gilt Edge (54906), which was
a short distance upstream. Velocity-area station in formalised trapezoidal
channel. All flows contained. Cableway moved from Gilt Edge to Callows Lane in
1995. An ultrasonic station from July 1990, located beneath the Kidderminster
bypass and formed by the 4m high walls of the box culvert beneath this road
bridge. All flows contained. There is a natural control 20m downstream of this
bridge. Much silt, which moves about on the bed and builds up on transducers,
but probably does not affect high flows. Rating not applied once ultrasonic
installed. In terms of data quality, the ultrasonic station could probably be
classed as OK for Pooling. However, since 2003 the Puxton flood alleviation
scheme limits major events (see Artificial influences), so in terms of hydrology
the station is not OK for Pooling after 2003. Ultrasonic record (from July 1990)
combined with Gilt Edge, because they have same indicative suitability. |
All flows contained. Cableway moved from Gilt Edge to Callows Lane in 1995.
Site affected by silt, which moves about on the bed and builds up on
transducers, but probably does not affect high flows. Ultrasonic reportedly
under-records at low flows and its effect on high flows is unknown. The
ultrasonic station could be classed as OK for Pooling. However, since 2003 the
Puxton flood alleviation scheme limits major events, so in terms of hydrology
the station is probably Not OK for Pooling after 2003. Rating not applied once
ultrasonic installed. | Flow record is the combined series for Gilt Edge
and Callows Lane (flows from Gilt Edge are in an unrepresentative period due to
concerns with data quality and consistency). It is known that the
period-of-record maximum flow occurred on 27 Mar 1955, but the magnitude cannot
be verified because of the historical changes at the site. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Low relief, substantially urbanised catchment. Higher ground on flanks of
river drain marls and s'st (Upper Coal Measures) but a faulted trough of
Sherwood Sandstone is the major feature. Some Boulder Clay and valley
gravel. | A flood storage scheme commissioned in 2003 at Puxton (upstream)
restricts flows at Kidderminster and truncates all major events. Groundwater
pumping for PWS and industry leads to substantial augmentation from sewage and
industrial effluents. |

Velocity area station with gravel control well gauged to and rarely
exceeding bankfull. | Velocity area station with gravel control. Well
gauged to bankfull - open channel site with cableway. Straight wide channel,

Compound broad crested weir, and thin-plate side weir built for low flow
measurement. Station closed 2021, see 54118 (Wimpstone) for replacement. |
Compound broad crested weir, overall width 17.6 m, with shallow central drop
section 0.15 m lower and 9.12 m wide. Set in old amenity weir with sluices.
Thin-plate side weir built for low flow measurement when the station re-opened
in 2000. Problems with trash accumulation on trash screen upstream of thin plate
weir. Broad-crested structure in poor state of repair. Eel pass installed during
works to infill 2 large recesses in 2018. | Weir theoretically rated.
Numerous ratings, many of the changes only affect low flows. Very few gaugings,
all at low flows. After thin plate installation, separate rating with upper
sections calculated using gaugings. | Flows over broad-crested weir only
at high flows. Problems due to variable sluice operation during high flows in
the early record, resolved by installation of thin-plate in the sluice recess.
Extensive flood plain, but flow on this is unlikely. Bypassing occasionally via
two small mill offtakes. | Catchment geology predominantly Lower Lias,
with Middle and Upper Lias and Oolite outcrops in the west and east. Mercia
Mudstone at d/s end of catchment. Little cover except alluvium within valleys.
Mixed arable and grassland landuse. | |

Original velocity area station with bed of stone blocks replaced in 1992 by
Flat V Crump profile weir. | Originally a velocity area station with a bed
of stone blocks; closed 31/8/92. Replaced in 9/11/1992 by a flat V crump profile
(1:20) weir, 7m wide, cross slopes, wing walls at 0.7m in reasonably straight
reach, with additional cableway. Fully contained. Velocity-area station very
prone to weed growth, summer corrections made: low flows of variable
quality. | Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from December-1992 when weir installed. Rating fits well to post weir
gaugings to bank full. Gauged to bankfull only. | Water year 1992/1993
rejected due to the true AMAX occurring during a missing period. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Generally low relief catchment, draining Clent and Lickey hills.
Contains Bromsgrove and Droitwich Spa. Virtually Drift free with predominant
geology: Mercia Mudstone in the lower reaches. Mainly agricultural. |
Groundwater for PWS leads to significant augmentation from sewage; spray
irrigation abstraction seasonally significant. |

Flat V weir that replaced earlier more primitive flow gauging sites (1959 -
1978) that suffered from unstable stage discharge relationship with regime
highly affected by regional groundwater pumping and industrial inputs. |
Initially rated section (1959-76), then gabion control (June 1976-Dec 1978),
both very prone to weed growth leading to unstable stage-discharge relationship;
now flat V weir, 15m wide with cableway. | Siltation upstream and
downstream of weir structure. Multiple ratings applied across period of record.
Data from a acoustic doppler flow gauge located at the site was to derive the
drowned flow above 0.658m. Top section was derived from high flow gaugings in
2007. Automatic system for flushing crest tapping chamber is not totally
reliable. Cableway for high flows rating. Some concern over scatter in spot
gaugings but this not such a problem at high flows. Fit well to recent
gaugings. | Bypass channel can be drained to enable work on weir,
producing low or zero flows (e.g. 10 July 2003). 2011 flows higher than normal
due to Shropshire groundwater scheme running in June. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Geology: mainly Triassic Sandstones with Triassic mudstones and Lower Lias
to the northwest overlain by mixed glacial drift deposits. Predominantly
agricultural, low relief catchment. Mixed land use. | Regional groundwater
pumping for PWS and Severn regulation. Industrial effluent from Wellington and
Newport; abstractions for spray irrigation. Net result only moderate. |

Compound triangular cross-section weir with low-flow flume, downstream of
Clywedog reservoir. Station now closed. | Compound triangular
cross-section weir with low-flow flume, downstream of Clywedog reservoir. Record
spans period of construction (Apr-1964 to Dec-1966) and opening (1968) of
reservoir. Station now closed, superseded by 54081 Clywedog at Bryntail. |
Approach partially infilled in 1967 to reduce deposition on flanks. Some
drowning may occur at high stages. Gauge spanned by homemade bridge.
Difficulties with calibration due to accretion upstream of the weir. |

Velocity area station in a straight reach with rock/gravel bed. Flow regime
dominated by Clywedog releases when regulation in operation at low flows (from
1968). | Velocity area station in a straight reach with rock/gravel
bed. | Abermule is located where the River Severn changes from an upland
river to a mid-catchment river with a moderate slope. As it loses energy it
deposits load carried from the uplands, making gravel beds a prominent feature.
Changes to gravel beds especially after high flow events causes frequent changes
to the low flow rating. Multiple peak flow ratings accross the period of
record. | Station opened in 1960 and Clywedog reservoir was constructed in
1968. Change in station datum at about the same time created uncertainty in the
datum and rating for that period - hence early record is excluded from Peak Flow
dataset. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2019 (WINFAP Files v8). Rating reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed from
2008. | High relief headwaters but broad main channels of moderate slope
with Boulder Clay and fluvial gravel. Solid geology predominantly Ordovician
slates and shales. Responsive catchment. | Flow regime dominated by
Clywedog reservoir; regulation releases are in operation at low flows (from
1968). Flow regime also influenced by flood drawdown releases from Clywedog for
downstream flood attenuation. Significant abstraction for canal feeder at
Penarth weir, but unlikely to affect high flows. |

Sandstones to the south, closer to the gauge. Blanketed extensively by Boulder
Clay and morainic sand and gravel. | Unresponsive rural catchment. Net
effect of general groundwater abstractions and returns insignificant; minor

Trapezoidal flume flanked by broad-crested weirs within vertical sidewalls
with suitable ratings up to QMED (bankfull) but uncertain accuracy above this
limit - also affected by backwater effects. | Constructed in 1961 as a
non-standard compound section comprised of a central trapezoidal flume flanked
by broad crested weirs, with vertical sidewalls. Eel tiles installed flush to
weir crest in November 2015. Expected to impact low flow measurement only.
Calibration gaugings ongoing. | The station is affected by backing up at
high flows from backwater (Wedderburn Road Bridge upstream) and weed growth.
Many flood events (below QMED) are over-bank, with the floodplain extending some
300m. The structure was originally calibrated using physical models, and ratings
have been based on these calibrations and on gaugings. Two ratings applied
across period of record. Rating 10 was derived from the Dec-2000 event but was
considered unsuitable for extrapolation to 2007 peak levels. Rating curve 11 was
derived to improve peak flow rates calculated for the 2007 flood event. The July
2007 event was the first event to spill over the Wedderburn Road. Modelling
conducted following the 2007 high flow event has been used to develop a high
flow rating for the site. Ratings were reviewed in January 2009 by including
gaugings during events of 2000 and 2007, and hydraulic model (ISIS) results.
Model rating includes drowned conditions; when the Severn is high backing up
occurs as flap valves operate, thus in-bank gaugings show scatter to the ratings
because of the variable backwater and severe weed growth. Large scatter in
gaugings at high flows but 2000 high flow gaugings are considered more accurate
than earlier ones. Probably just OK for QMED because gaugings have extended to
QMED, and because of the physical and computer modelling. | July 2007 peak
flow affected by substantial attenuation on floodplain as was 1.3m above
bankfull, and backing up behind road bridge. Variable backwater from weed growth
(a significant issue) and from exceptional events (such as maxima in 1968 and
1998) on the River Severn. Data from a downstream sensor from December
2002. | Low relief, agricultural catchment. Virtually Drift free;
headwaters and middles reaches s'sts of Devonian and Triassic age, some
Palaeozoic mixed sediments to the north, Mercia Mudstone in the lower
reaches. | Mostly natural regime. Minimal augmentation from groundwater
pumping, spray irrigation may become significant at Q95. Minimal augmentation
from gw pumping. |

Crump profile weir that contains all floods while effluent returns in
catchment may have substantial effect at lowest flows. | Crump profile
weir with vertical wingwalls, 6m wide with (unused) crest tapping. Low cost fish
baffles installed on downstream face of weir in July 2015. | All floods
contained and the weir is not known to drown. Channel very prone to weed growth
and may suffer from siltation upstream. Theoretical rating applied across period
of record confirmed by gaugings to 0.85m. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | River
rises on Millstone Grit and traverses Sherwood Sandstone and Mercia Mudstone,
although there is extensive coverage by glacial sands and gravels with some peat
deposits. Some marshland with complex artificial drainage. | Substantial
groundwater abstraction has indirect effect. Effluent returns in catchment may
have substantial effect at lowest flows. |

Trapezoidal flume with side contractions. IH/UKCEH experimental catchment.
Responsive natural flow regime. | Trapezoidal flume with side contractions
since 1968, capacity 43 cumecs. 15 min. runoff totals available, also rainfall,
evaporation and soil data from a dense monitoring network. | Flat
recessions and flow jumps related to silting/flushing of the flume/inlet pipe.
U/s silt trap (installed 1971) improved station performance but sensitivity a
limiting factor at lowest flows. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across
period of record, the most recent is valid from February 1971. | A
compound sharp-edged weir, capacity 10 cumecs, with flanking broad crests
provided poor quality data from 1953-58 (some notable minima, e.g. summer 1955).
Record gaps not recoverable. Aug 1976 flows considered the lowest on record. Aug
1977 peak due to very intense local storm (90mm in 2 hrs); little impact in
neighbouring catchment (55/8). | High relief, very wet catchment developed
on Palaeozoic shales, grits and mudstones. Forest slopes very steep, peat
moorland hilltops. Around 2/3 of catchment afforested up to 1985 when some clear
felling took place. | Responsive natural flow regime. |

Flat V weir in straightened cut with cableway replacing original trapezoidal
flume (1968-95) that suffered from weed growth and poor state of repair. |
Original trapezoidal flume (1968-95) replaced in 1995 (poor state of repair
and weed growth problems affecting low flows). New weir is a flat V Crump
profile (1:10) weir in straightened cut 5m wide, with wing walls at 0.7m and has
cableway. Fish baffles added to weir in June 2018. | Cableway rated with
flood banks containing all but the highest flows but inundation occurs u/s. Flat
V weir drowns at medium levels but rating fits gaugings well below 2m stage.
Constriction upstream will increase approach velocity. Original trapezoidal
flume rating supported by c/m gaugings but poor state of repair and weed growth
problems affecting low flows. Two ratings applied across period of record, the
most recent is valid from July 1995 when flume replaced. | Station closed
between Dec 1994 and July 1995. Flows in June 2018 affected by fish baffle
construction on weir. April 1998 flood at 3.14m, estimated as 100 cumecs, well
above rating limit so considerable uncertainty in this magnitude. July 2007
flood 0.5m above April 1998. Such flows are outside design range of site and
degree of rating extrapolation means peak flows are considered inaccurate. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP
Files v11). | River rises from springs on Cotswolds scarp; steep
headwaters. Drift free, mostly Liassic argillaceous rocks. Agriculture and
horticulture dominate. | PWS from headwater springs; river abstractions
for horticulture. Sewage works short way upstream. Net result moderate,
significant at low flows. |

Trapezoidal flume with side contractions in CEH experimental catchment.
Natural flow regime. | Trapezoidal flume, 15.9m wide, with side
contractions to 13.7m in critical section, between 1.5m wing walls. | Very
large capacity (c140-150 cumecs) flume, contains all flows. Shoals of shale
fragments u/s and in throat of flume need annual clearing and also block intake
pipes; 3 separate intakes increase chances of maintaining reliable stage
recording throughout the range. However, it should be noted that annual gravel
clearance is no longer undertaken. The peak flow ratings are calculated from
theoretical with modification at low flows from dilution gauging. |
Changes in clearance patterns lead to gravel accretion between Oct 2000 and
June 2005. Despite reprocessing in 2006 to improve estimates, accuracy of low
flows between 2000 and 2005 (particularly 2002, 2003) remains questionable due
to blockage of stilling well intake. Low flow performance remains under review.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP
Files v5). | A high relief, wet and responsive catchment on Silurian
shales and slates with limited Boulder Clay coverage in the south and west of
the catchment. Land use mainly pasture, forest and moorland. | Natural
flow regime. Flashy response. |

Velocity area station in a substantially straight reach with natural shoal
control. Three major PWS abstractions in the catchment have a substantial effect
on the flow regime. | Velocity area station, 35m wide, in a substantially
straight reach with natural shoal control. Llanymynech gauging section
frequently changes shape due to the movement of the bed as a result of sediment
loads deposited in the channel following high flow events. Gravel bars are often
formed and have remained stable enough to become heavily vegetated in the past,
these can cause skew flow. The physical changes to the channel control the
stage-discharge relationship. | Daily flow rating relatively stable.
Out-of-bank flows gauged from a cableway extension over the floodplain. Flow
gauged above bank full. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of
record. Rating changes due to bed shift. At highest flows a small amount of
water bypasses the cableway on the left bank - flow estimated. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). Ratings reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed for the full period of
record. | Steep headwater streams and broad-bottomed valleys; storage in
valley sands and gravels. Predominantly Silurian and Ordovician sandstones and
mudstones overlain by Boulder Clay and sands and gravels in the main
tributaries. Land use is moorland, forestry and grazing. | Three major PWS
abstractions in the catchment have a substantial effect on the flow regime,
notably the supply exported to Liverpool from Lake Vyrnwy. |

Multipath US gauge from 1987 replacing original velocity area station -
affected by high tides and tidal gates on R. Avon at Tewkesbury. |
Originally velocity area station between abutments of demolished railway
bridge which mostly contain high flows at the site. Multipath ultrasonic gauge
from 1987; this is reliable at low and medium flows, but bypassing means the
station becomes progressively less reliable once stage exceeds about 4 m.
Station is affected by high tides and tidal gates on R. Avon at Tewkesbury. |
US station reliable at low and medium flows, but bypassing means the station
becomes progressively less reliable once stage exceeds about 4 m. Bypassing
upstream begins at around 4 m at the site. The bypassing has not been gauged,
but comparison with Mythe (a velocity-area station downstream) suggests it is
extensive at the highest flows. For example, on 23 November 2000 the level at
Saxons Lode was 3.9 m and the flow measured at both Saxons Lode and Mythe was
318 m3/s. However, on 14 December 2000 Mythe recorded 766 m3/s yet the
ultrasonic at Saxons Lode recorded only 529 m3/s for a level of 5.45 m. Station
also affected by high tides and tidal gates on R. Avon at Tewkesbury. One rating
applied across period of velocity area record as it agrees best with gaugings
(although significant scatter is evident). | | Very large, diverse
catchment, relatively broad flood peaks. Land use mainly agriculture and
forestry, with subordinate industrial development in the east. |
Substantial modifications to flow owing to Public Water Supply exports, and
effluent returns (chiefly the River Stour and Worcester). Runoff influenced by
groundwater abstraction/recharge. Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff.
Regulation from surface water and/or ground water. Runoff reduced by
industrial/agricultural abstraction. |

Flat V Crump profile weir with cableway with flood banks on a 36m wide
floodplain that should contain high flows but with some bypassing. | Flat
V Crump profile weir 6m wide, with a cableway to allow high flow gauging. |
Mostly modular even at high flows. Flood banks on a 36m wide floodplain
should contain most flows but bypassing does occur- high range defined by few
gaugings of dubious quality (weir only 1m deep). Cableway rated for high flows.
Very few gaugings at high flows, but reasonably good fit at most levels. |
Reliability of summer 2007 high flows uncertain due to station bypassing and
possible elevated levels through backing up. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | The
catchment is mostly Drift free, situated on sandstones and marls of Upper
Carboniferous age. The river bisects the Wyre Forest; all but the headwaters are
afforested. | Flashy response. No significant abstractions or returns but
flow patterns can be affected by sluice operation. |

Crump profile weir, 4.5m wide by 0.5m deep, in an incised trapezoidal
channel. Low cost fish baffles installed in Oct 2012. Cableway for high flows
until 2014. High flows (to bankfull, and possibly above) are now gauged by rope
or radio controlled boat. Commonly exceeds bankfull and does bypass some of the
gauging section. Insensitive at low flows. EA use site as a tributary index
gauge in flood forecasting system. | Cableway until 2014 for high flows,
by rope or remote control boat after. Commonly exceeds bankfull and does bypass
some of the gauging section. Insensitive at low flows. One peak flow rating
across period of record based on check gaugings and extrapolation above. |
Station submerged and rating exceeded during July 2007 high flow event. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP

Crump profile Flat V weir from 1992 that replaced velocity-area station with
natural rock step control approximately 150m downstream of cableway. |
From Feb 1992 Crump profile Flat V (1:20) weir, 12.4m wide, 0.72m high wing
walls, replaced velocity area station with natural rock step control approx.
150m d/s of cableway. Gravel bed. Right bank floodplain approx. 50m wide,
partially crossed by cableway. | Cableway rated. Right bank floodplain
approximately 50m wide, partially crossed by cableway. Two ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from April 1992 when weir
installed. Ratings fit well to corresponding gaugings post-1992. Theoretical
rating on open channel pre-1992 means flows are highly uncertain, although fit
to available gaugings in the peak flow range is within acceptable
tolerances. | Water year 1991/1992 rejected due to the true AMAX occurring
during a missing period. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | High relief headwaters and
broad bottomed valleys of moderate slope with Boulder Clay and fluvial gravel.
Solid geology predominantly Ordovician slates and shales. Land use: moorland,
forestry and pasture. | Sewage effluent has insignificant effect upon flow
regime. |

Rectangular thin plate notch 4m wide weir. | Rectangular thin plate
weir present on site, 4m wide by 0.43m depth. The site is located next to the
confluence of the Bailey Brook, and shares the gauging station on site with the
Bailey Brook gauge (54052). Levels exceptionally rarely reach out of bank. |
Predominantly a low flow site. Previously there was a cableway to measure
high flows, but this has since been removed. It is possible to measure and gauge
all the way to bankfull. One rating applied across the whole period of
record. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Agricultural, low relief catchment,
high baseflow from Bunter sandstone and glacial sand and gravel. Boulder Clay
typifies the right hand bank geology. | Significant ground and surface
water abstractions in the catchment with effluent from Market Drayton. Irregular
operation of sluices from Oakleigh Park may affect natural flow. |

Flat V Crump profile weir built in 1976 as part of flood alleviation scheme
works, with flows moderately influence by effluent discharges and
irrigation. | Flat V Crump profile weir built in 1976 as part of flood
alleviation scheme works, 7.97m wide; cross-slope 1:20, large d/s fall, all
flows contained. | July 2007 flows exceeded limit of rating curve. |
Moderate influence from effluent discharges and seasonal spray
irrigation. | Predominantly agricultural catchment draining Edge Hill.
Some Boulder Clay to the east overlying, predominantly, argillaceous rocks of
the Lower Liassic series with Mercia Mudstone closer to the gauge. | Flow
regime has visibly changed since May 1989 with more diurnal pattern, believed
due to Wellsbourne Water Mill being restored. |

Station very important for monitoring PWS abstractions on the Leam and to
measure releases from Draycote pumped storage reservoir. | Originally a
thin-plate notch set in a broad-crested curved weir with a (leaking) sluice
gate. Record poor, high flows unreliable. The sluice was replaced by a second,
lower thin-plate weir which became operational in 1979 and has led to improved
data. | Gauging close to the peak lends credence to the extreme April 1998
flood value. | | Agricultural catchment of low relief,
substantially Drift free although sands and gravels exist along the lower
reaches. The lower fifth of the catchment drains Mercia Mudstone; the remainder
underlain by Liassic argillites. | Imports of water and gw pumping;
substantial modification of flow regime. Some naturalised data from 1989. |

Rectangular thin plate weir with side sections acting as broad-crested above
notch full. Installed for monitoring the Shropshire Groundwater Scheme. |
Rectangular notch, 1m wide, 0.63m deep with side contractions, which act as
broad-crested weirs above notch full. Shares a recorder hut with the gauge on
the adjacent River Tern gauge (54044), confluence 10m d/s. Site used for
monitoring the Shropshire Groundwater Scheme. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | High flows at the gauging station are
within bank, but bypassing occurs upstream at a much lower level due to the way
the site has been constructed to share a gauge hut. No gaugings at higher levels
due to flashy regime and hard to access the site due to bypass flows. No
gaugings available to verify rating above structure full. | Significant
drop in flow on Dec 2011 caused by in-channel operations. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Small, low relief catchment instrumented for monitoring the Shropshire
Groundwater Scheme. Solid geology: argillaceous rocks of the Lower Lias and
Mercia Mudstones. Extensively overlain by Boulder Clay and glacial sand and
gravel. | Baseflow dominated regime but can be responsive. Minimal flow
augmentation from WRW. Affected by irregular discharges and storage effects of
Sandford Hall Lake. |

Velocity area station downstream of Warwickshire Avon inflow that is tidally
affected and subject to heavily regulated/modified flows owing to PWS exports
and effluent returns - provides the lowest gauge on the Severn. | Haw
Bridge is a velocity-area measurement station located on the B4213. It is
downstream of the Warwickshire Avon inflow and is the lowest flow gauge on the
River Severn. The site is impacted by the tide, however flows values will not
account for this. Tidal influences are taken into account by the Deerhurst ADCP
gauge approximately 2.21miles upstream (54110). | Gauging possible from
bridge up until bankfull. Difficult to access at times of very high flows if
access to the bridge and road are restricted. Previously at very high flows
gauging have been conducted along the B4213 and within the channel itself. There
remains a high percentage of error with high flow gaugings due to the complexity
of the site. Hysteresis observed during high flow events. The site is tidal
influenced, however it is not possible to measure this, at this gauge. Deerhurst
approximately 2.21 miles further upstream is able to account for the resultant
change in velocity and flow direction as it is an ADCP site. The site itself can
be prone to weed growth and bed movement, as well as siltation problems with the
stilling tube on site. Multiple ratings have been applied across the period of
record. Ratings applied are a compromise between allowing for bed movement and
making the best use of out of bank gaugings. Most recent rating fits well to
corresponding out of bank gaugings. | July 2007 peak exceeded limits of
rating curve by a large margin, all flows for event estimated using National
Flow Forecasting System hydrodynamic model. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Very large,
diverse catchment, lowest on the Severn. Paleozoic slates in Welsh headwaters,
Permo-Triassic sediments in middle reaches and Jurassic and Liassic clays in the
Avon basin. | Heavily regulated/modified flows; compensation flows from
Llyn Clywedog and the Shropshire Groundwater Scheme, with PWS exports (to
Liverpool, West Midlands and Gloucestershire) and effluent returns (chiefly to
Avon, Stour (Worcs.) and Severn at Worcester). The flows are affected by
tides. |

Flat V weir gauging a predominantly urban catchment. | Original
secondary velocity area station replaced in 1995 with a Flat V Crump profile
weir, 11m wide, 1:20 cross slopes, wing walls at 0.9m in a good reach. |
Contained on rb, possibly bypassed on lb behind the hut. Good site at low
flows, with the rating based on the theoretical for the Flat V weir. Above about
0.5m the weir starts to drown, with very few gaugings above this level. Gaugings
that are present above 0.5m suggest the rating is overestimating flows. |
Pre-2000 minima were significantly higher - causation under review.
Magnitude of July 2007 flood event subject to considerable overestimation -
flows under review. | A largely urban catchment, draining the western
suburbs of Birmingham. Underlying geology predominantly argillaceous and
sandstone rocks of the Carboniferous with Triassic Sandstones within the lower
third of the catchment. | Gw for PWS significantly augments low flows as
effluent. |

Compound triangular profile weir. Flow regime influenced by regulation
releases at low flows (from 1968). | Compound triangular profile weir,
replacing informal station in 2000. | Weir crests 7.1m and 12.0m (total),
wing walls at 1.6m. Designed to permit fish movements and counting (non-standard
profile due to fish sensors on downstream face of weir). Should contain the 1%
probability flood. Cableway approx 60m for floodplain flows. 10km d/s of
Clywedog reservoir so control patterns dominant at low flow. One peak flow
rating across period of record, provides a reasonable fit to gaugings. |
Missing data for period between 1983-1986. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A high
relief, wet and responsive catchment on Silurian shales, mudstones and slates

Velocity area station gauging a responsive catchment with some artificial
influences. | Velocity area station replaced, in 2000, earlier gauging
station which suffered from afflux from ornamental bridge upstream. New site is
10m upstream of the bridge in rectangular concrete channel; gauged from road
bridge. | Rating is stable for medium flows. Not great for high or low
flows, high flows are influenced by flood gates downstream, which are in place
to cope with the large tidal range of the River Severn and extreme events. |
Daily mean flow data missing from June 2002 to January 2004. |
Responsive catchment with steep headwaters which drain complex sequence of
limestones, sandstones and clays of Lower and Middle Jurassic; flat Vale of
Berkeley is underlain by Cambrian inlier, Keuper Marl and Lias clays. Land-use
is rural. | Moderate influence from public water supply abstractions and
spray irrigation. |

A side-looking index velocity station across broad reach of river. Is liable
to overtopping especially on the left bank. For very high flow it is best to use
54002. | Ultrasonic single path instrument installed in 1979, unsuccessful
experiment. Replaced in 1988 by multipath cross configuration US in broad reach.
River inundates hams on lb extensively during floods. For very high flows use
54002. | Flows are valid to bankfull (but US has under-measured, data
being reassessed). Due to an embankment on the left bank, it is impossible to
have accurate measurement for the flows after the embankment and whether some of
the water is pooled. | | Large catchment of low relief, draining
argillaceous rocks almost exclusively. Contains some large towns but chief land
use is agriculture. | Extensive flow modification by abstractions and
returns. Responsive regime. |

A Ultrasonic gauging station which can be affected by substantial
modifications during low flows. | Multiple US cross-configuration gauging
station. | Following refurbishment of the ultrasonic gauge in 2005, only
lower racks working until March 2008, possible over-estimation of high flows
under review. Flows fully contained by Buildwas Bridge and floodbanks. |
| Large diverse catchment. Geology largely mixed Palaeozoic
formations with moorland and forestry land use in the wet headwaters. Permian
Sandstones dominate in the lower reaches with extensive Drift cover of Boulder
Clay and sands and gravels and mixed farming landuse. | Substantial
modifications of lowest flows by Clywedog and Vyrnwy Reservoirs and Shropshire
Groundwater Scheme; otherwise artificial effects modest. |

Open channel site with cableway until 17/12/98, when flat V weir
constructed. | Open channel site suffered heavily from weed growth which
led to the installation of the flat-v weir. Cableway no longer in use - flow
gaugings carried out by waded, remote control or roped ADCP in the same section
as the cableway. | Crest tapping and downstream tail recorder installed
(from October and November 1999 respectively). Weir is situated under a bridge
which helps reduce weed growth in the measuring channel and on the weir crest.
Due to the known problems with weed at the site, paired with the low modular
limit of the weir, a crest tapping tile was added on the weir crest. An
automated pump was installed for flushing the crest tapping on a regular basis,
however is now switched off due to technical issues. Two ratings applied accross
the period of record following installation of the flat-v weir in 1998. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023
(WINFAP Files v12). | Agricultural catchment on Lower Lias, with fairly
low relief despite being near the headwaters. | Influences are PWS and
canal abstractions at low flows and peak flattening effect of Stanford Reservoir
at high flows. |

Open channel site used flood forecasting. | Station opened in 1972,
Flat V weir. | During dry periods the stilling well bottoms out and levels
may therefore be lower than indicated on the Hydrolog record, e.g. summers of
1993, 1995, 1996, 1997 cont. Dual inlet pipes - may be causing problems with
siltation at bottom of well, under investigation. Two ratings applied across
period of record, the most recent is valid from January 1997. Good confidence of
rating below bankfull. Upper limb of two ratings identical. ADCP gaugings
performed just upstream of station in low flows and off upstream road bridge in
flood conditions. | Station flooded during July 2007, high flows beyond
upper limit of rating curve. Data for Jan 1986-Dec 2004 reprocessed in 2023. Mar
1989 dropout likely due to debris around the inlet pipe, treat as suspect. Full

An ultrasonic gauging station on the River Severn. | Cross path
ultrasonic gauge to measure low to medium flows where tides affect the flow
regime. Upgrade of ultrasonic gauge started June 2007. High flow and gauging
site at Haw Bridge (54057) but prone to overestimate flows during tidal phases -
leading to significant differences in flow series during tidal phases and
dropouts in flow. | Unable to infill gaps during 2011 due to ultrasonic
gauge fault. | | Very large, diverse catchment, Paleozoic slates in
Welsh headwaters, Permo-Triassic sediments in middle reaches and Jurassic and
Liassic clays from the Avon catchment. | Substantial modification to flow
owing to PWS exports and effluent returns (chiefly to the Stour, Worcester, Avon
and Thames). |

Velocity area station opened in 1973. | Velocity area station opened
in 1973 with early record subject to negative flows and poor rating. Daily flow
data are not presented due to site issues. | Although bankfull is now
around 6m, the river rises out of the main channel at around 1.6m. Datum reset
in 1981. Low flows subject to high uncertainty due to weed growth, insufficient
gaugings for rating, and vandalism. Uncertainty in high flows before flood
alleviation scheme (completed 1988) due to lack of high flow gaugings, poor fits
to ratings, and gaps in the record. Multiple ratings across period of record,
with good fit to spot gaugings since flood alleviation scheme. |
Considerable uncertainty in early peak flows (for 1975-1988) which are
therefore rejected. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Located in a mainly agricultural
catchment on Lower Lias. | At low flows PWS at two points above this site
and Canal abstractions on the Upper Avon and on the River Swift. |

Flat Vee weir with brick gauge house and cableway opened in January
2000. | Originally an open channel site opened 25/01/2000. It was opened
for low flow measurement but primarily for high flows, following the Bye Report.
Prior to its installation, flows and flood warnings on the River Leam were based
on levels at Eathorpe, which was downstream of the confluence with the River
Itchen. The 1998 floods proved that this was insufficient for accurate flood
warning. In June 2000, a project was set up to install a flat vee weir, with a
cableway and gauge house located downstream of Thurlaston Bridge. The weir was
designed as low and shallow as it could be, to provide useful flow information
at low levels but would drown out at high levels and not cause any backing
up. | Flat Vee weir has a low modular limit and starts to drown above
0.2m. A downstream tail recorder was added on 27/01/2003 and is currently used
with the theoretical rating to calculate flows. Gaugings are generally performed
using an ADCP from the cableway during in-bank flow conditions. Out of bank flow
can be measured by wade gauging, using a current meter or Flowtracker. A
topographic survey was commissioned by an external contractor in 2018/19 due to
potential gauge board relocation and levelling issues in general. It was carried
out on 08/02/2019 and are awaiting results. | Missing mean flow data in
recent years due to issue with flow calculation during non-modular
conditions. | The River Leam heads North, passing the outskirts of
Braunston before turning northwest towards Grandborough. It then heads west
passing through Kites Hardwick gauging station, just south of Draycote Water. It
then continues heading west towards Eathorpe gauging station. Catchment
generally comprised of low lying agricultural land. | Flow generally
baseflow dominated. Artificial influences include Thurlaston road bridge,
approximately 30m upstream. At higher levels, flows bypass the channel on the
left bank side, at about 1.8m. There is a large bend in the river approximately
12m downstream. |

Level site with flat V weir, brick gauge house and cableway opened July
2000. | Following the review of the Easter 1998 floods, it was determined
that the gauging station at Eathorpe on the River Leam did not provide
sufficient coverage, to provide accurate flood warnings to Leamington. The
Environment Agency decided to construct a gauging station on the River Itchen at
Southam to monitor water levels and flows entering the River Leam, to improve
flow forecasting models and flood warning lead-time for Leamington. The gauge
provides improved monitoring of abstraction on the River Itchen for water
resources. The gauging station building has two stilling wells, to measure both
the upstream head and tail water levels. A new channel was excavated on the
right bank of the existing channel to provide a straighter approach and to
facilitate construction of the hydraulic structure. Following completion of the
works, the old river channel was backfilled with the material excavated from the
new channel. | Gaugings carried out using ADCP off cableway. Artificial
influences include a road bridge approximately 62m upstream and Southam sewage
works 200m downstream. | Complete period of record. Peak level in July
2007 estimated as 3.2 mASD (85m3/s). | The River Itchen rises to the north
at Marton before heading south towards Long Itchington and then onto the gauging
station at Southam. Catchment generally comprised of low lying agricultural
land. | Generally baseflow dominated. The floods in July 2007 were the
highest in the stations record. Flood water inundated the gauge house,
submerging instrumentation inside the building. The peak water level was
accurately determined from seed lines and water marks within the building. |

An open channel site gauging a mainly low lying agricultural catchment. |
An open channel site, with the river impounded 1.5 km downstream of the
site, it has very limited navigation and has a small seasonal weed growth
effect. | Site rarely bypassed. Cross section considered to be stable.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Dramatic shift in
ratings a result of datum change in 1981. Ratings fit well to corresponding
gaugings. | Station closed 22/06/1983 to 01/06/1984. Chart data for
29/12/1982 to 02/01/1986 examined for POTs. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). Missing data in
January 2019 due to sluice gate movement. Flow calculation switched off from
July 2020 due to underestimation of flows, rating review in progress. |
The catchment is a mainly low relief and largely agricultural but has built
up areas at Rugby and Leamington. The geology is mainly Lower Lias and Keuper
Marl. | Responsive regime with evident artificial influences. Influences
at low flows come from public water supply and returns on the River Leam. |

Chart only with cableway site replaced by 54006 Kidderminster Callows
Lane. | Replaced by 54006 Kidderminster Callows Lane. Chart only with
cableway. Recorder situated on upstream face of a twin box culvert. |
Cableway rated. Silt and debris accumulation at culvert downstream can cause
inaccuracies at low flows. Above bankfull flow is impossible to measure - peaks
estimated out of bank. It is thought that the top 4 AMAX events were out of bank
and estimated. No information on missing data periods. One rating applied across
period of record. Rating fits the gaugings well at higher flows but less below
0.75m. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Mainly urban - West Midlands towns.
River flows through a wide faulted trough of Triassic sandstones and
conglomerates. Higher ground to the east and west consists of marls, sandstones
and breccias of the Upper Coal Measures with inliers of Upper Silluirain shales
and limestones in the east. Spreads of boulder clay occur north of Swindon and
sands and gravels flank the main valley. | Industrial influences on flow

Site rated until 1976 when replaced in 1976 by 54007 Broom (New) - a crump
profile weir with a higher containment capacity. | Up to 1976 rated
section; not rated above bankfull when extensive inundation occurred. Replaced
in 1976 by 54007 Broom (New) - a crump profile weir with a higher containment
capacity. There is a wide floodplain on the right bank (~200m) and a bypass
channel on the left bank. | Up to 1976 rated section; not rated above
bankfull when extensive inundation occurred. Two ratings applied across period
of record, the most recent is valid from October-1973. Bank full pre 1973
2.5mASD and 2mASD. Ratings fit well to respective gaugings. | | Low
relief, predominantly agricultural catchment upon Keuper Marl, with small
glacial gravel deposits in the eastern headwaters. Responsive; sewage effluent
maintains low flows. Contains Redditch and Alcester. | Groundwater pumping
for PWS significantly augments low flow through effluent returns. |

Channel control velocity-area station that does not contain extreme events
with extrapolated flows probably under-estimated as rating does not take account
of floodplain flow. | Channel control velocity-area station, width at
bankfull approx. 49 m; cableway span 62 m. Embankment constructed in 1966 on the
left extends flood containment. | Extreme events spill out. Severe weed
growth problems. Extrapolated flows probably under-estimated as ratings do not
not take account of floodplain flow. Originally, stages taken from 1908 at
Hereford, 1.2km d/s; flows were measured at current site. Prior to 1932, data
unreliable. Variations in stage-discharge relationship at flood flows due to
works on floodplain and adjacent to river in Hereford i.e. modification of Old
Wye Bridge - enlarged footings and additional internal arches; dates of remedial
works unknown. Muliple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Upper
limit set to bank full. Ratings fit well to available gaugings. | Water
year 1983/1984 rejected due to the true AMAX occurring during a missing period.
Ratings reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed from 1984. Rating pre-1935 is
unknown. Data are rejected pre-1973 because confidence in rating validity is
low, especially above QMED. | Above Erwood (55007) are wet uplands
draining Palaeozoic rocks; the lower third is a narrow corridor draining Old Red
Sandstone, marls and subordinate glacial gravels, which supports arable farming.
Upper catchment is predominantly grassland with some forest. | Moderate
flow modification, high levels of agricultural abstraction u/s. Naturalised
discharges take into account reservoirs in the Elan Valley. |

Velocity area station with cableway used as flood warning station from July
1982 to Dec 1989 and reinstated as flow monitoring station from Jan 1990. |
Velocity area station with cableway (27.5m between stanchions). Width at
bankfull is 16m. Flows over right bank at 2.50m onto wide floodplain with
considerable storage. Station for flood warning purposes only from Jul 1982 to
Dec 1989. Reinstated as flow monitoring station from Jan 1990. Removed from peak
flows dataset in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | Cableway rated with
unstable gravel bed. Recent peaks truncated at 32.1 cumecs - rating limit
(overbank flows spill onto wide floodplain). Excessive weed growth in summer
months requires regular clearance and gravel movement is also an issue requiring
maintenance - anecdotal evidence indicates this could be an issue at low
flows. | No records pre-1953. Peaks unreliable 1953-1965. Following a
rating review in 2013 flows for the period 01/03/1981 onwards have been
reprocessed - note this results in a significant drop in flows during the 1995
drought. Following a rating review in 2023 flows for the period 06/03/2014
onwards have been reprocessed. | Geology: Lower Old Red Sandstone, marl
dominated producing subdued relief (Herefordshire Plain). Fluvio-glacial
deposits near main channel worked for sand and gravel production. | |

Velocity area station. Natural flow regime. Closed and replaced by Ddol Farm
(55026) in Oct 1969. | Velocity area station. Closed and replaced by Ddol
Farm (55026) in Oct 1969 which has higher banks and is more contained. |
Bed gravel shoals, generally unstable. Above 2m flow overtops right bank and
flows across playing fields. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record, one pre and one post Apr-1946. No gaugings available. Upper limit at
bank full as over-bank flow occurs. Ratings give markedly different flow at high
stage even though datums identical; ratings therefore seen as unreliable. |

Velocity area station with rock bar as a control. Substantial flow
modification from regulation and abstraction from the Elan Valley reservoirs,
PWS and sewage effluent. | A velocity-area station with a large rock bar
as a control. Bankfull width approx. 64m. Stable section. The station was
demolished and re-constructed through 2006/2007, completed in February 2007, the
left bank was also re-profiled slightly. | Cableway span 79m (installed in
1952). All but the highest flows (which spread slightly onto narrow terrace on
rb) contained. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Gaugings
confirm stage-discharge behaviour to approx. 5m. No records of bypassing or
floodplain flow. | Low flows after August 1999 below 1.53 cumecs are
extrapolated below the lower limit of the rating and should be treated with
caution. Original records destroyed 1937-52, so FEH POTs used (flow only). Some
naturalised sequences available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Large wet upland
catchment draining impermeable rocks - metamorphosed Palaeozoic sediments and an
igneous complex. Summit levels exceed 600m. Predominantly grassland catchment
with extensive grazing, moorland, and patches of forest. | Approximately
15% of the catchment draining to Erwood is upstream of the Elan Valley
reservoirs. These reservoirs are used for PWS and affect runoff/attenuate flood
peaks. Regulation releases also made from Caban Coch reservoir to support
downstream abstraction during low flows. |

Velocity area station with Crump profile flat V weir. Natural flow
regime. | Velocity area station, initially with a gravel shoal control.
Improved in 1977 by installing a 25m wide Crump profile Flat V weir. |
Weir rebuilt in September 1994, and recapped in October 1995. Cableway spans
44m. Above approx. 3m the rb floodplain is inundated. A major event in October
1998 altered the shape of the channel at low flows. Multiple peak flow ratings
applied across period of record. Gaugings fit well to respective ratings. |
Weir rebuilt between 31/8/94 and 7/9/94, no data available. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8).
Rating reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed for the full period of record. |

Velocity area natural river section. Downgraded to level-only for flood
warning in July 1982. Status upgraded in 2010, with flows from 2005. |
Velocity area station. Natural river section. First station with flat V weir
opened 55m d/s of current site in 1954. Station closed August 1982 to January
1992. Station downgraded to level-only for flood warning in July 1982. Status
upgraded in 2010, with flows from 2005. Non-standard control means flows should
be viewed with caution. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Low flow control is a small rock bar; otherwise
Tafalog road bridge 70m d/s is the control. No cableway for high flow gaugings.
Gauging ceased in July 1986. Gauging restarted in 2005 and station status
upgraded in 2010, with flows from 2005. Peak flow rating provides best fit to
gaugings. Upper limit recommended at 0.4m (max gauged). | Highest flow of
68.5 cumecs occurred in Oct 1960, before start of NRFA record. Weir deteriorated
after this flood and station was moved u/s to current location in 1974. Data
from 12/07/2022 to 21/07/2022 is marked as suspect due to contractors on site
installing mussel ropes, which led to water being held back and then eventually
released. | Located in high upland area of the Monnow catchment, underlain
by the Breconian sequence of the Lower Old Red Sandstone strata. Mostly forestry
and sheep grazing. | Natural flow regime. |

weir, replaced velocity-area station with channel control in October 1972.
Station is used for flood warning. | Weir is 1:20 cross-slope, 18m wide.
Weir known to drown at high flows. Cableway span 27.5m. Very high floods may
inundate the rb. Lb d/s of station floods at high flows. Weir repaired in 1995
necessitating changes in rating. Three peak flow ratings applied to period of
record. | Data estimated for Oct 1972 and for April 1980. Weir rebuilt Aug
1995; no data available, but late Aug low flow deemed reliable. Missing data in
2001 due to access restrictions during Foot and Mouth outbreak. Suspect data
arising from drift correction removed (13/07/01-5/08/01). Full POR peak flow
data reviewed and released in Sep 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). Suspect data arising
from relocation of staff gauge due to weir refurbishment - data removed
(01/06/20-21/08/20). | Catchment drains rocks of very low permeability:
Upper and western catchment drains Ordovician and Silurian shales; igneous
complex in the SE. Noticeably reduced rainfall compared to the u/s Wye and Irfon

period of record. | Maximum peak flow occurred in Dec 1979 - this was
undoubtedly exceptional although uncertainty surrounds the magnitude (198.4
cumecs on Peak flow database) as flow was extrapolated. Gap in record in 2001
the result of telemetry fault which could not be resolved due to Foot and Mouth
restrictions. Data estimated for Aug - Nov 2003. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Impermeable geology: headwaters drain the Old Red Sandstone of the Black
Mountains; lower reaches expose Old Red Sandstone marls which have lower relief.
Contains Llangorse Lake. Predominantly grassland with patches of woodland and
some arable in lower reaches. | Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Claerwen reservoir. Station discontinued in 1950. | Two sharp edged weirs,
approx 22m each, constructed to monitor runoff from the partially completed
Dol-y-Mynach dam. Total width approx 120m. Construction of the dam was
abandoned, but it resulted in a storage of around 0.1 sq km. NRW have no records
for this station. No HIF series. Station discontinued in 1950. | Station
may drown, so high flows likely to be suspect (and over-estimated). Peaks
exceeding capacity of weir have been truncated by recorder. Levels taken from
flood marks and wall of meter chamber. Discharges above the weir capacity
derived by straight-line extrapolation; this ignores the increased cross section
length above weir flank walls, an additional 73m. Only Barnes formula rating
found: Q= 3.324H^1.49 L^1.11 (L+2H)^-0.11. | | Upland catchment on

A Flat V weir, however record is known to be unreliable in parts, and can
experience zero flows during summer. | Flat V weir, theoretically rated,
replaced, in 1999, non-standard Flat V Crump (1:5 cross-slopes, 2.5m wide). |
| Flow record unreliable. Gravel accretion causes rating variability,
checked by c/m. Floods contained. | Low relief catchment containing urban
development of western Hereford. Some light industry but land use is mostly
arable agriculture developed on Old Red Sandstone marls; extensively covered
with glacial sands and gravel, which maintain baseflow in the Yazor Brk. |
Zero flows experienced during summer months. Affected by industrial
abstractions from groundwater, which can dominate flow pattern at low
flows. |

Flat V Crump profile weir, 350m d/s of Caban dam. Entirely regulated apart
from overspill. Used as a flood warning station. | Flat V Crump profile
weir; 23m wide, 350m d/s of Caban dam. Used as a flood warning station. Caban
gauging station is located on the left hand bank of the river Elan with 40m span
cableway. | Several changes in gauging patterns over period of record;
therefore one peak flow rating only cannot be applied. Rating D provides best
fit post March 2002, Rating A provided the best fit to high flow gaugings pre
2002. | Flows from 3 Jun 1981 reprocessed in Aug 2012 as a result of
rating changes slightly affecting low flows. Monthly naturalised flows available
for certain periods from older Caban Coch station (55006). Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). |
Very wet, high elevation catchment draining impermeable geology,
predominantly Silurian shales and slates. Upland pasture and moorland, patches
of forest. | Station located immediately downstream of series of 5
reservoirs used for PWS (~4 cumecs exported to Midlands). Flow regime is
entirely regulated apart from releases for compensation. Current compensation
release is seasonally variable (0.79 cumecs during summer, 1.1 cumecs during
winter) and was historically up to 1.5 cumecs. Releases also made from Caban
Coch reservoir to support downstream abstraction during low flow periods.
Release regime modified in 2015 to make more frequent regulation releases. |

abstraction/recharge. | Originally natural section, low flow Flat V weir
installed in 1976, refurbished in 1996. Location may also be referred to as
Rhiwderyn. | Weir width: 14.5m, cross-slope 1:20, 1:2 u/s, 1:5 d/s.
Discharges up to MAF level contained. Three peak flow ratings applied across
period of record. | No GDF for 01/06/1975 to 31/01/1977 and 01/03/1977 to
31/10/1977. Weir refurbishment in 1996 did not alter the weir level or geometry,
station completely rebuilt so no GDF 19/07/1996 to 05/01/1997. Flows from 1
January 1977 reprocessed due to rating changes (including a new modelled high
flow rating) in January 2013, resulting in a significant reduction in the
largest peak flows and minor reduction in daily mean and monthly maximum flows,
particularly for period 1997-2000. | Moderate permeability, mainly Coal
Measures. Mixed land use: mostly grassland, upland heath at highest elevations
in north; some forest, mainly in lower valley to south. Significant urban
development in valleys. | Small water supply reservoirs in uplands; public
water supply abstraction. Runoff influenced by groundwater abstraction/recharge
in valley. Drainage water from old coalmines can also influence flows. |

Compound Crump weir, three crests. Flow affected by reservoirs and GW
abstraction. Station closed in 2010. | Compound Crump weir (three crests,
each 6.096m wide). Level-only station since July 1998, closed in 2010. Replaced
by Ponthir Star Industrial Estate 200m d/s. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Flows <176 cumecs contained.
Central crest subject to occasional blockage by debris in high flows, middle
walls of structure removed Sept 1994 because of this. Channel enclosed by
relatively steep river banks, walls, bridge abutments etc, and overbank flow
does not occur till stage of approx 3m. Lb has been raised by flood defence
embankment. Progressive drowning from 1.4m. No cableway. Calibration assumes
modularity. Shoal development problem at existing site; feasibility study
completed for replacement station 300 m d/s. New weir and work on approach
channel needed. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. No
confidence in rating for high flows as no gaugings above 0.81m and rating is
poor fit even at this level. Shoal d/s affects performance of weir. Recommended
upper limit 0.5 m. | Now level only with no flow data processed after
10/07/98. | Predominantly Old Red Sandstone, overlain by Carboniferous
Limestone, Millstone Grit and Upper Coal Series. Generally livestock farming
with urban development in lower areas. Some Forest. Peaty soils in uplands,
seasonally wet. | Small reservoirs for industrial and PWS in upper
reaches. Some GW abstraction in valley where there is augmentation by drainage
water from old mines. |

Velocity area station. Catchment includes the Cray and Usk Reservoirs, used
for PWS. De-rated to level only in 1984; now used as a flood warning
facility. | Velocity area station in a straight reach. Situated in a
valley with narrow floodplain bounded by moderately sloping hillsides. Gravel
bed control associated with a rock exposure. Approx channel width is 31m. The
approach is through buttresses of road bridge and an abandoned railway bridge.
De-rated to level only in 1984 due to instability at high flows; now used as a
flood warning facility. | All but very exceptional flows contained within
banks. On rb water flows into flat fields at approx 3.3m. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Rating fits gaugings very well. Upper limit set
at highest current meter measurement (2.5m). | Computation of daily flows
ceased in 1984. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Impervious catchment - mainly Old Red
Sandstone - draining from the Brecon Beacons. Land use is mainly grazing, some
forestry. | Responsive flow regime. Catchment includes the Cray and Usk
Reservoirs, used for PWS. River Usk is regulated and abstraction allowed

Flat V Crump weir from Dec 1997; previously standard Crump weir. Natural
flow regime. | Flat V Crump weir (width 7.01m) from Dec 1997; previously
standard Crump weir. Concrete side walls form a contained approach to the weir,
starting from road bridge approx 10 m u/s. Removed from peak flows dataset in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Bridge abutments funnel flow to
station and prevent bypassing. Flows contained up to wingwalls of about 2.27 m.
Beyond end of the walls, approx 10 m d/s, river banks significantly lower
allowing flow area to expand rapidly again. Fish baffles on weir face may cause
slight backing up at low flows. Crump weir was full range, modular,
theoretically calibrated and confirmed by gaugings. Modification to flat V in
1997 necessitated change in peak flow rating. Three peak flow ratings apply over
the period of record. Check gaugings confirm rating only to medium flows.
Original fish pass removed in 1973. | Gap in record in 2001 due to Foot
and Mouth restrictions. | Natural catchment draining from high rainfall,
upland area within Brecon Beacons national park. Impermeable bedrock geology
(Old Red Sandstone). Dominant land use is grassland, supporting livestock
farming, with mainly peaty soils. Small patches of heathland and forest. |

Station measuring reservoir outflows. Artificially affected regime, and
water balance substantially affected by exports for PWS. | Station
measuring reservoir outflows. | Post 1979 weir constructed in order to
monitor the outflow of Pontsticill Reservoir. It was originally constructed as a
12.5m wide Flat Vee weir, with 1:2 upslope, 1:5 downslope and 1:10 cross slope.
In 2015, flood alleviation works reduced right bank by roughly 1m to allow
installation of a bypass channel. | From 2016 onwards, flood alleviation
works mean site only measures lowest flows. | | Prior to 1973,
station believed to be record of flows in compensation flume and flood channel.
Post 1979, station believed to be record only of flows in compensation flume.

Flat V weir, velocity area station for high flows. Flows affected by mine
water discharges, impounding reservoirs and industrial abstractions in
valley. | Flat V weir with concrete side walls. Velocity area station for
high flows. | Weir width 23m; cross-slope 1:20, 1:5 d/s, 1:2 u/s. Full
range. Station and cableway were moved during October 1982, so two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. Valid date for current rating (28 March
1985) is the date of the first gauging undertaken following the move. Some
scatter in gaugings just above wing walls. | Data prior to 1962 of poorer
quality than those since, although Sept / Oct 1959 minima realistic. Flow minima
during period of missing data in 1960 likely to have been 0.30-0.35 cumecs. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP
Files v5). | Coal Measures with Millstone Grit and Carboniferous Limestone
in northern area. Boulder Clay and Alluvial deposits in valleys. Mainly upland
area with peaty soils, seasonally wet. Land use is largely grassland, heathland
at highest elevations and some forest. Considerable urban development in valley
bottom. Half of catchment within Brecon Beacons National Park. | Series of
six PWS impounding reservoirs in the upper catchment (Taf Fawr and Taf Fechan)
affects runoff. Runoff at low flows influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge and abstraction for industry/agriculture. Increased by
effluent returns and minewater discharges. |

Flat V weir, velocity area station for high flows. Flows affected by sewage
works discharges and some industrial/agricultural abstractions. | Flat V
weir with concrete side walls, velocity area station for high flows. |
Weir width: 10.6m; cross-slope 1:20, 1:2 u/s, 1:5, d/s. Full range with flow
gauged up to 96 cumecs. A proportion of flow (thought to be around 10%) bypasses
the gauging station at higher levels, hence, above 55 cumecs, the rating is
based on a hydraulic model in addition to gaugings, to account for the bypass
flow. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. | Some early
(poorer quality) data available (station 57805; 1957-60). Flows from 7/3/2010 to
10/5/2010 suspect due to temporary damming of river at site. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Mainly Coal Measures with some Millstone Grit in northern area;
mixture of Trias, Lias, limestone and Old Red Sandstone to the S. Extensive
superficial deposits, Boulder Clay in N and sands and gravels in S. Soils have
permeable substrate. Mainly pasture, with patches of forest. Dairy farming in
lowland area with some built-up areas. | Flows affected by sewage works
discharges u/s. Some industrial and agricultural abstractions. |

Velocity area station with standard Flat V weir. Flows affected by effluent
returns and industrial/agricultural abstractions. | Velocity area station
with standard Flat V weir. | Non-standard Flat V weir installed in May
1974 to stabilise bed. New flat V weir installed 1999 resulting in new rating
being applied. Fish baffles installed on downstream side of weir in 2000.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Most recent rating
validated by gaugings up to 1.8m. | Flows from 16/10/2010 to 3/11/2010
suspect due to blocking of the inlet pipe. Peak flows from 01/10/1973 to
30/09/1999 rejected because of uncertainty in rating curves due to lack of
gaugings in the upper limb. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). Ratings reviewed in 2022 and data
reprocessed for full period of record. | Coal Measures. Ely valley

Flat V weir constructed 30m u/s of original site. Previously named 'Gilfach
Bargoed'. Flood warning station. | Bargoed gauging station (previously
called Gilfach Bargoed) opened in 1967, measuring stage in a natural river
section; a weir was constructed in 1975 and a cableway added in 1977. The rating
was unstable due to silting and, from 1986, the station operated as a flood
warning station only. A new gauging station with a flat V weir was constructed
in 2001, 30m u/s of the original site. Still used as flood warning station. |
Bed at gauging site is rocky and underlain by concrete weir approach
channel. Fish baffles installed on downstream side of weir in 2001. Two peak
flow ratings apply to period of record. Ratings based on gaugings and extended
using a modelled rating. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed

with no change in profile, although the weir has been reconstructed. Modular
throughout range. Original Flat V structure damaged by flood. Structure provides
control at low flow but velocity area rating applied for high flows. Two peak
flow ratings across period of record confirmed by check gaugings. | Data
missing from Digital Archive from 01/12/79 to 29/02/80 and 01/04/80 to 31/05/80,

updated in August 2014 due to rating change. Dec 1979 flood (which destroyed the
weir) may have been higher but considerable uncertainty surrounds magnitude.
WY1998/1999 AMAX should be treated with caution as extrapolated, may have been
overestimated. Flows for the period 03/06/13 to 15/08/13 are backfilled from

Flat V weir with fish baffles on d/s slope. Flood warning station. Natural
flow regime. | Flat V weir in good condition with fish baffles on d/s
slope. Channel is 7.35m wide. Flood warning station. | 1.667m high
concrete wing walls either side of weir. Full range; no bypassing. Fish baffles
installed on downstream side of weir in 2001. Gauging section is concrete
channel with good bed stability, though prone to shoaling which has an adverse
effect on the modular limit of the weir. The shoaling cannot be moved because
there is a main gas line directly underneath and the operations delivery team
cannot get into the channel to remove it. Low to medium flows are wade-gauged
and high flows are gauged by cableway. Flows for levels above 1.1m are based on
a hydraulic model. Peak flow Rating A combines the original rating with the
modelled out of bank Hyder rating. Site has been gauged since 2001 but has only
recently been rated (2011). Rating A fits the gaugings very well. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7). | Coal Measures with alluvial deposits and Boulder Clay in
valleys, peat in upper catchment. Livestock farming and heathland on hills;
forest cover on high ground to NW. Extensive urban and industrial development in

Velocity area station with Flat V weir (installed in July 1975). |
Velocity area station with Flat V weir (installed in July 1975). Channel
width: 20m. | Weir 1:20 cross-slope. Two peak flow ratings applied across
period of record, the most recent valid from August 1975 after the installation
of the Flat V weir. Wingwalls raised from 1.8m to 3.75m in early/mid 1980s,
bankfull prior to mid 1980s was 2.65m. Most events have been in-bank at the
station, the exceptions being Dec 1960 (0.37m above bankfull) and Nov 1970
(0.08m above bankfull). | Flows estimated for March-April 1986. Early
rating (1960-1975) thought to underestimate flows above 1.8m. | Mainly
Coal Measures, some Boulder Clay and alluvium in valleys. Peaty soils on hills,
seasonally wet. Soils in lowland areas have permeable substrate. Land use is
mainly grassland supporting livestock farming in uplands to N, dairy farming in
S, with some forest cover throughout. Heavy urban and industrial development in
valleys, including significant development just u/s of station. |
Abstractions for industrial/agricultural abstractions may reduce flows, but
runoff also increased by effluent returns. Bridgend Flood defences built in
early 1980s are likely to increase peak flows after that date. The last
operational coal mines in this area closed in 1985 and minewater recovery is
understood to have occurred by the late 1980s. This will have resulted in lower
active discharges to the watercourses and may have also resulted in reduced
attenuation in flood events. M4 was built approx 4km upstream of this station in
1980 and may hold back flow in higher events. |

Flat V weir. Flows slightly affected by reservoir in upper catchment,
industrial abstractions and effluent returns. | Flat V weir (installed in
1978); channel width: 28m. | Weir 1:20 cross slope, 1:2 d/s, 1:5 u/s, 0.7m
V full. Some u/s right-bank spillage during floods; water stored on floodplain
and does not bypass. Lb steep. At very high floods, e.g. 1979, river breaks out
of banks at left hand bend 0.75km upstream onto floodplain. Diversion into a
canal u/s but not significant at high flows. Early open channel section very
unstable except for period with a blockstone weir (July 1971 to Sept 1977), but
peak flow rating suspect above 0.6m throughout period before Flat V weir. Two
peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from
July 1978 after weir installation. Good fit to gaugings. Temporary site
installed during weir refurbishment works in 2017 and 2018. Site established in
advance to allow for relationship to be built between sites. | Some record
available from 1961 to 1978, but channel considered unstable and only low flow
gaugings available during that period. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Data from temporary site
in 2017-18 used to replace main site data during channel works. | A mainly
upland catchment with mixed geology, from S to N: Coal Measures; Millstone Grit;
Carboniferous Limestone and Old Red Sandstone. Extensive Boulder Clay cover in
mid-catchment. Livestock farming predominates; some areas of upland heath; some
forest cover; minor urban development in valley. | PWS reservoir in upper
catchment. Industrial abstractions and effluent returns. |

Velocity area station with an informal control (sewage pipe crossing).
Runoff influenced by PWS abstraction and minewater discharges. | Velocity
area station with an informal control (sewage pipe crossing). Fully functional
station. NRFA station name changed in 2013 from Cwmavon to Cwmafan for
consistency with NRW spelling. Station closed in 1970s but reopened in 1989 at
the site of the original auxiliary gauge as a level-only station - around 1.5km
u/s of the main gauge location at Cwmafan (1961-1977). | Stilling well at
site. Gravel bed is loose and variable, shoaling occurs. Station is d/s of road
bridge that concentrates all flows. Rb is steep up to 3m. Floodplain is on lb at
1.7m. More stable station d/s at 58012 Marcroft Weir. Open channel rating. Sewer
pipe catches debris, thus affecting the rating. Low flows are beyond rating
lower limit. One peak flow rating applied across period of record. No gaugings
found, and none available digitally. | Data from 1989 to 1997 of low
quality and not currently held on the NRFA. Flow data available for Jan 1998
onwards. 29 May - 9 June 2020: estimated flows, beyond lower limit of rating.
Stage values verified during sites visits. | Coal Measures, mainly
superficial deposits with peat in uplands and Boulder Clay in valleys. Steep
valley sides. Large areas of forest, remainder rough grazing. Some urban
development, including just u/s of station. Past mining activity evident. |
Runoff reduced by PWS abstraction. Minewater discharges in upper catchment
affect flows. |

Flat V weir and velocity area station. PWS reservoir in catchment has
partial effect on flows. | Flat V weir and velocity area station; channel
width 15m. | Weir 1:20 cross slope, 1:2 slope u/s, 1:5 slope d/s. Steep
section with heavy bed load. Station in steep valley and flows well contained.
Flashy river so high flow gaugings are problematic. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record. Weir refurbishment in May-June 2009 is not
believed to have impacted the flood rating. Gauged up to top of wing walls. |
Flows prior to Apr 1972 derived from 55009 Kentchurch (450m downstream) and
should be used with caution. Flows from this period are pending review. Missing
flows in early 1963 likely to have been amongst the lowest winter flows on
record. In August 2012, flows reprocessed from 01/01/1987 reflecting rating
changes particularly affecting low flows. Lowest flows on record in 2003
corroborated by gaugings on 26th Aug and 13th Oct. Flows from 25 Mar 2009 from
55047 Grosmont Rhosllwyn, a replacement station 200m d/s of old station. Full

Velocity area station with Flat V weir. Natural flow regime. |
Velocity area station with Flat V weir. Channel width 7m. | Weir 1:10
cross slope; 1:2 u/s; 1:5 d/s. Modular up to wingwall height, QMED at approx.
bankfull, but lack of high flow gaugings. Low flow data believed to be of very
good quality. The NRW ratings fitted gaugings well apart from on limb for
non-modular flow (>0.8m). NRFA rating applied with lower limit at 0.8m, to
provide rating for non-modular flow. Recommended upper limit at bankfull
(1m). | Record maximum flow in Oct 2000 was extrapolated and may be an
overestimate. Data between 9th Jan and 16th May 2012 estimated due to logger
problem. Flows from 1 Dec 1993 to 2012 reprocessed in 2012 following rating
update, with minimal change to data. | Upland catchment within the Brecon
Beacons National Park. Mostly impermeable Old Red Sandstone with carboniferous
outcrops at southern limits, some Boulder Clay cover in SW. Peaty soils;
seasonally wet. Land use mainly upland pasture. | Natural to within 10% at
Q95. |

Flat V weir and Ultrasonic gauging station. Flows affected by effluent
discharges and GW abstractions. | Originally designed as a temporary
station; Flat V Weir structure replaced non-standard bed control weir in April
1999; velocity-area calibration was based on gaugings from bridge u/s.Removed
from peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Flat V weir
for low and medium flows, US for high flows (>0.72m). Eel pass installed on
downstream side of weir left bank in 2013. Out-of-bank flow can occur on rb. Two
peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Upper limit at 1m as rating
diverges from gaugings above this. | Flows from April 1999 reprocessed in
August 2014 due to rating change, with effect of lowering high flows.
Experienced problems with leakage under bed control in early record. Station was
taken off-line in September 1998 for complete rebuild with 7-month gap in data.
Reason for further 3-month gap in 2004 not known. | Lowland catchment in
the Vale of Glamorgan. Mixed geology: Lias; Trias; Carboniferous Limestone and
Old Red Sandstone. Significant areas of low permeability substrate. Large Drift
cover, mainly glacial sands and gravels. Grass pasture with dairy and livestock
farming, some patches of arable and forest; minor urban development. |
Flows affected by effluent discharges and GW abstractions. |

Non-standard compound Crump profile weir. Historic minewater discharge in
upper catchment increased low flows. | Non-standard compound Crump profile
weir. Channel width: 17.2m. | No divide walls between centre and side
weirs. Stilling pipes not submerged at low flows and shoaling around pipes. High
velocities due to steep gradients. One peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Provides good fit to available gaugings. Weir remains modular to at
least 2.5m (AMAX 1, as of June 2019). | Weir refurbishment 3 Sep 2012 - 1
Jul 2013, with loss of data during this period. Period has been infilled using
data from upstream gauging station Cwmafon. Refurbishment expected to have had
no significant impact on rating and gaugings since re-opening have confirmed
this. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Coal Measures, mainly superficial deposits with
peat in uplands and Boulder Clay in valleys. High proportion of forest,
remainder rough grazing. Some urban development, including just u/s of station.
Past mining activity evident, restoration schemes employed. | Historic
minewater discharge in upper catchment increased low flows. |

Velocity area station. Industrial and agricultural groundwater abstractions.
Some effluent returns. | Velocity area station. | Gravel bed
provides unstable control. Pressure transducer installed in 2005 with logger
attached. Early record has bypassing above 2.75m not accounted for in rating.
Several changes to bank levels have been made over the years: embankments and
(lower) concrete side weir (right bank) to control flow to flood plain storage
was built in 1973; the side weir was raised by ~1m to match embankment height in
April 1998. During low flows (level below 0.448m), well intake pipe often out of
water due to significant bed erosion. It is unclear when problem started, but
results in limited low flow sensitivity; levels adjusted as necessary to be
realistic though flow repetitions may occur (e.g. Aug 2006). Since Aug 2010
secondary sensor installed u/s of existing intake pipe to facilitate measurement
at low water levels. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Principally Coal Measures. Mostly mixed permeability,
with impermeable strata in headwaters. Some Boulder Clay cover. Mainly upland
area with livestock farming. Forest and some Urban and industrial development at
lower levels. 1/3 of catchment lies in Brecon Beacons National Park. |
Limestone outcrop at north of catchment has partial effect on baseflow. A
number of artificial influences within the catchment but overall impact on flows
is expected to be less than 10% of Q95. |

Velocity area station gauging a rural catchment with upland headwaters. |
An open-channel velocity area station opened in 1995, located on the
upstream face of the road bridge in Ystalyfera. Station added to peak flows
dataset in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). Station re-numbered from 60017 to
59003 in February 2023 (WINFAP Files v11.1) to correct the Hydrometric Area, and
to 59004 in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | The site is 60m upstream of
the old canal aqueduct and a large weir (~9m drop), which provides the hydraulic
control. Flow is contained by the road embankments meaning there is no
bypassing/out of bank flow. Low flow rating is calculated from spot gaugings,
however the site is not maintained as a low flow station. One peak flow rating
across the period of record calculated by hydraulic modelling. Sensitivity
analysis shows the modelled rating is generally insensitive to parameter change,
suggesting reasonably high confidence in the rating despite the absence of high
flow gaugings. | Scatter in the gauging history means that it is not
considered suitable for daily mean flow measurement. | The majority of the
catchment is upland/grassland with a large part of the catchment falling within
the Brecon Beacons National Park. Lower parts of the catchment are agricultural
with some woodlands and commercial forestry. | The flow regime is
considered natural, with only minor abstractions and discharges in the
catchment. |

Velocity area high flow station - Peak flows data only on NRFA. |
Velocity area high flow station - only peak flows data is on NRFA. Low flows
measured d/s at 60010 (Capel Dewi). Channel width: 42m. Natural open-channel
section within a straight reach of river. | Levels are monitored using a
telemetered in-river PTX. Left bank contains high flows, right bank allows only
extreme high flows to spill and bypass station - accounted for in ratings. Ty
Castell effective above 50 cumecs. Two peak flow ratings across period of record
to account for datum change in summer 1990. Rating review in 2017, corrected
data for historic gauge board level slippage and reviewed ratings from 1978,
review in 2018 added upper limb for out of bank flow to current rating. Bank
full stage is currently 5.3m, 5.76m with earlier datum. | Only two events
(October 1987 and October 2018) were significantly out of bank; the event of
December 1979 was only just above bankfull. The historic flood in 1931 was of a
similar magnitude to the 1987 event. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). Current rating was
updated following the October 2018 flood with the addition of an upper limb
which includes out of bank flow. | Predominantly impermeable, Ordovician
and Silurian with Old Red Sandstone on southern boundary. Peaty soils in
headwaters, seasonally wet. Lower area soils with permeable substrata, rarely
wet. Alluvium in valleys. Catchment is largely grassland with hill farming in
upper catchment, some livestock and dairying at lower levels. Some forest cover,
significant concentration along NE margin. | Llyn Brianne reservoir
(catchment area approx 88km) in headwaters regulates flow down to major DCWW PWS
abstraction d/s of station. It is also used for some winter Hydropower. The
reservoir began to fill in March 1972 and it was full by December 1972. |

Velocity area station. Natural flow regime. Station used for flood
forecasting and drought trigger. | Velocity area station. Channel width:
13.9m. Site used for flood forecasting and drought trigger. | Lb steep
with berm for recorder - recent signs of erosion. Right flood bank at approx 3.2
- 3.4m; considerable overspill during flood events. Channel prone to build-up of
silt. Gauged from bridge u/s which can also become constriction at high flows.
Flood rating change in early 1990s; exact date of change is estimated. Rating
fits gaugings reasonably and allowance is made for bypass flow. | Flow
record from 60002 Cothi at Felin Mynachdy used to infill various short periods
of missing data (principally in 1986, but also 1991, 2001, 2004). Flows since 1
Jan 2010 reprocessed in 2013 due to new rating, with main effect of lowering low
flow GDFs. Remedial works to stabilise the riverbank downstream of the gauging
station and the bank to the rear of the gauging station began in July 2022 and
finished September 2022. During this time a temporary site, was positioned in
the river channel using a stilling pipe approx. 30m upstream of the station.

abstractions have a minor impact on flow records. | Flat V weir for low
flows, Ultrasonic installed in Dec 1995. Replaced velocity-area station with
records from 1968, bed control installed 1972. Channel width: 7.5m. Station
removed from peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Flood
Alleviation Scheme upstream of Llandovery stops any bypass flow. High flows may
be affected by confluence with River Gwydderig 100m downstream, causing some

Reservoir is used to augment low flows for PWS abstractions downstream, also for
HEP generation in winter. | Flows since 1969 reprocessed in 2010 due to
rating change, leading to increase in low flows and decrease in high flows, most
significant since 1988. Flows since 31 Jan 2008 reprocessed in 2013 due to
rating change, with main affect lowering of low flow GDFs and HIFs. Flows since
01 Nov 1982 reprocessed in 2022 due to rating review. AMAX from 1967 to 1971
water years are excluded from QMED calculation; they are from before Llyn
Brianne reservoir first filled - began to fill in March 1972 and full by
December 1972. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). WY1978/1979 rejected because the timing is
suspect and doesn't correspond to nearby gauges. | Upland area of Cambrian
Hills. Principally impermeable Ordovician strata. Mainly peaty soils, seasonally
wet. Grassland (mostly hill farming with some livestock at lower levels);
extensive forest cover, very dense in NE. | Regulated by Llyn Brianne

Flat V Crump profile weir. Reservoir in upper catchment affects runoff. |
Flat V Crump profile weir. Channel width: 13.7m. Weir built in 1970,
replaced in Jun 2008-Sep 2009. | Weir cross slope 1:20; downstream slope
1:5; upstream slope 1:2. Slope of upstream reach is 1:100 and downstream reach
is 1:250. During floods, bedload can be boulder range, up to 0.3m diameter. Two
peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Wing wall height increased
from 1.4m to 1.97m when weir rebuilt in 2008-09. | No data Dec 1982 - Oct
1990 due to station closure. Low flows in July - Aug 2006 are suspect as intake
pipe was not completely submerged. Ratings reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed
from 2009. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October
2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Predominantly impermeable; Old Red Sandstone at
source, Silurian in middle section, Ordovician in lower reaches. Valley
extensively covered with alluvium. Predominantly grassland, some forest at lower

section. Channel width: 34.25m. Station added to peak flows dataset in September
2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Very low sheet pile submerged wall and
cableway. Relatively straight river channel susceptible to moving bed of stone
and gravel. Irregular boulder weir, of higher level than the station's sheet
pile wall, constructed on 28/09/1995 in the river channel approx 180m d/s of
gauging station. Station is bypassed at flows just above current QMED (212
m3/s). Peak level of 3.81m on 23/10/1998; however, rating not valid above 3.5m,
so corresponding peak flow is questionable. | Flows 2-5 Sep 1995 suspect,
coinciding with construction downstream of informal boulder weir and
corresponding new rating for station. Flows 28 Nov 1997-25 Mar 1998 also suspect
as response looks anomalous. Peak flows between 1967 and 1997 are rejected due
to uncertainty of the rating. | Predominantly impermeable geology,

Velocity area station. Generally natural flow regime - affected by tides and
backwater issues. | Velocity area station. Channel width: 10.5m. |
Left bank is steep and high, right bank has low flood bank that allows
overtopping to an extensive floodplain. Natural heavy shoaling causing frequent
rating changes. Current rating overestimates flows - rating review pending. One
peak rating applied across period of record - significant scatter in gaugings
with too low a gauging frequency to be able to determine temporal changes or to
improve rating history. | Tidally affected but this is edited out. Flow
data was merged with 61004 Redhill to produce a continuous record, held as 61001
(Jan 74 - May 90 data is from 61004). Appears to be a trend in the early peak
flow record. Reason unknown, though has been suggested related to land drainage
schemes upstream in late 1960's & early 1970's. Peak flow data before Oct
1971 excluded suspect data. High flows known to spill onto extensive floodplain
so underestimation likely e.g. 18/12/1992, 12/06/1993, 18/11/1997, 08/12/2000.
Daily flows are held until 2004, with confidence in peak flows maintained until
2014. | Mostly lowland catchment. Impermeable, Ordovician formations with
igneous intrusions. Soils in southern area have permeable substrates.
Predominantly grassland with dairy farming, patchy arable in lower areas. |
Generally natural flow regime, some effects of abstractions and effluent
returns. Also affected by tides and backwater issues. |

Velocity area station. Large regulating reservoir affects flows. |
Velocity area station; artificial control installed in 1974 in the form of a
DCWW water pipe. Channel width: 17.4m. | Left bank steep and high. Right
bank low flood bank on edge of pastoral floodplain. Flow with stage greater than
2.6m spills onto right bank. Pipe weir is known to freeze and elevate levels in
winter, not corrected for. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record. Upper limit set to bank full. Rating fits well to all available
gaugings. | 1986 POR max triggered by 80-100mm storm but considerable
uncertainty in the magnitude of the peak flow (significant rating
extrapolation). Atypical recession throughout May - July 1984. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8). | Mainly lowland with hills to N. Impermeable formations, mainly
Ordovician with bands of igneous rock in N. Some Old Red Sandstone on southern
boundary. Mainly grassland for dairy farming with some forest and patches of

Velocity area station in straight reach. Natural flow regime. Station used
for flood forecasting. | Velocity area station in straight reach, width:
7.0m. Station used for flood forecasting. Station removed from peak flows
dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13) pending rating review. | Road
bridge upstream concentrates flow. Recorder sited on flood bank on right.
Secondary in-river sensor installed due to intake pipe being exposed during low
flows. Small low-lying area on left bank at 2.5m. Downstream bend in channel
which can skew flow at high flows. Flashy catchment, lack of high flow gaugings.
Two peak flow ratings across period of record but significant scatter in
gaugings, particularly at high flows. | Uncertainty in peak data, should
be treated with caution. Flows since 1982 reprocessed in 2010 leading to
decrease in both low and high flows. Flows since 11 October 1995 reprocessed in
2011 leading to significant increase in high flows (which had been truncated
under previous rating). | Small catchment within Pembrokeshire Coast
National Park. Impermeable Ordovician formations with intrusions of igneous
rock. Mainly grassland, dairy farming in lower areas and livestock on hills.
Small patches of woodland and arable. | Steep-sided catchment - very

Informal Blockstone control, built to replace Prendergast Mill (61001). |
Treffgarne is constructed on the site of a fishing hut in Treffgarne Gorge.
The record begins on 25/10/2013. The control structure at the site consists of
an informal blockstone weir which provides adequate levels of sensitivity at low
flows whilst maintaining a relatively stable section. The site is less suitable
flow high flow monitoring due to highlyvegetated banks. When flow is out-of-bank
(~1.2m), this has a large effect on velocities and prevents on-site gaugings.
Flows above 23 cumecs should beused with caution. | Informal blockstone
weir with a block missing from the centre. Made wingwalls on the right bank to
approx 1.185m and a vegetated left bank with no overhang into the river. |
| The geology of the catchment is primarily low permeability Cambrian
and Ordovician (sandstones, siltstones and shales) with igneous intrusions. |
Generally natural flow regime, some effects of abstractions and effluent
returns. |

Station located in the upper Teifi catchment, downstream of Cors
Caron/Tregaron Bog which provides significant flow attenuation. Therefore gauged
flows are only representative of the flow regime on the Teifi, downstream of
Cors Caron. | Velocity area station in a rural catchment. 3 arched bridge
downstream - flow is typically through 2 arches with the 3rd permitting out of
bank flow. Station opened on 1st July 1998. Station added to peak flows dataset
in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Rating derived from gaugings which
are taken immediately downstream of the bridge due to the accessibility (can
gauge off the bridge). During higher flows, this is one of the only areas where
the flow remains relatively contained, rather than spreading out across the
extensive flood plain. At 2.2m there is standing water on the narrow flood plain
opposite the station, with some flow occurring above that level. This is not
accounted for in the rating. Extent and velocity of floodplain flow have been
estimated from site observation and were used with topographic data to calculate
flood plain flow at QMED of around 5% of rated flow. | | Mainly
impermeable Ordovician and Silurian geology. Peaty, seasonally wet soils in
upland areas. Apart from Tregaron bog, most of the lower areas have soils with
permeable substrata. Predominantly grassland. | Mostly natural flow regime
with significant attenuation of main river flows due to Cors Caron/Tregaron Bog.
This usually results in double (or multi) peaked flood events at this station as
flows from tributaries - the largest of which is the Brennig - peak first,
followed later by the attenuated main river flow (which is often the higher
peak). |

Velocity area station. HEP has significant effect on flows across the range
and shoaling affects the gauged section. Station closed in 1984, reopened on
31/10/95 and bank stabilisation works were carried out in 2012/2013. Station
added to peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Cableway
was removed in mid-2000s. Bed material is alluvium deposits - mix of boulders
and grit. Steep left bank, right bank more gentle with small flood plain. Low
flow performance is believed to be very good. Well gauged to bank full, but not
above. Surface velocity measurement and cross section area have been used to
calculate flood plain flow at QMED, it is about 2% of rated flow. Two peak flow
ratings across period of record. | Station closed in 1984, reopened on
31/10/1995 and bank stabilisation works were carried out in 2012/2013. Daily
flows should be used with caution due to tidal influence and a very mobile
control that can lead to innaccurate low flow measurements. Peak flows rejected
as unrepresentative of the catchment from 1963-2001 due to uncertainty in flows
before flood banks were constructed in 2001. | Mainly Silurian with some
Ordovician on the northern catchment boundary. Soils mainly have permeable
substrate. Mostly hill farming in upland areas. Some forest. | Impounding
reservoirs Cwm Rheidol, Dinas and Nant y Moch for hydro-electric power
generation have a significant effect on flows across the range. |

Velocity area station with ford 10m downstream acting. | Velocity area
station. Station closed from Dec 1979 when ford washed away, ford rebuilt and
station re-opened in early 1980s. Ford has been deteriorating since about 2005,
and was closed to traffic in March 2010. | Coarse gravel bed. Inlet pipe
in 3 parts, allowing silt to get in pipe and block. Bypassing at highest flows
down a mill stream and along a road. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of
record. Scatter in gaugings and ratings unlikely to fully account for changes
due to ford deterioration. High flow gaugings in 1970s enabling high flow rating
for that period, but lack of high flow gaugings from 1982 onwards. | Peak
flow data post-1999 rejected due to change in suitability. AMAX 1 max in Aug
1973 triggered by a storm greater than 100mm; uncertainty in gauged flow as
upstream bridge collapsed during this event with likely impact on peak level
recorded. However, nearby station at Pont Llolwyn also recorded AMAX1 for the
period 1968-1979 so gauged flow retained. Flows 24 Dec 2011 - 23 Jan 2012
estimated from 63001 data due to anomalous behaviour; similar behaviour
exhibited in Jan 2005 and 2011 unable to be improved by measuring authority.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Small Cardigan bay catchment, mostly lowland.
Impermeable Silurian geology. Does not extend as far as the high Cambrian
Mountains. Rural land use, predominantly grassland supporting dairy farming,
with small patches of woodland. | Natural regime - no known artificial

Flat V weir; rural catchment with numerous disused lead and zinc mines. |
Flat V weir with vertical side walls. Channel width 13m. | Land access
to station agreed with landowner (as of 2009); should permit future high flow
gauging and work to increase confidence in station performance. Some cracking on
weir - difficult to clear of weed growth due to rough concrete. High flows
contained within structure; non-modularity only occurs during extreme
events. | Flows over 1987-90 period derived from three-hourly level data.
Flows 5 Aug-20 Oct 1987 erroneous and deleted in July 2014. Power and battery
failure on site resulted in two periods of missing data between July and
September 2022. | Mainly impermeable Silurian shales and grits. Catchment
comprised of grassland (mainly used for sheep farming) and forestry. There are
numerous disused lead and zinc mines within the catchment. | |

Velocity area station with informal flat-v style pitching strip. Natural
flow regime. | Velocity area station with informal flat-v style pitching
strip. Station opened in 1965 in a 40m wide section between floodbanks,
controlled by sheet piling d/s in straight channel which was dredged prior to
station construction. Station was insensitive at low flows, so moved 50m
downstream in 1997; sheet-piling removed and weir constructed. |
Insensitive at low flows. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period
of record. Suffers from weed growth in the channel and on the pitching strip
control, with regular clearance sometimes difficult due to high water levels,
and also gravel accumulation. Significant gravel removal in 2014 has improved
section so that pitching strip operates correctly. Station is vulnerable to
tidal influence since removal of sheet piling. Recent tree clearance to left
bank will enable higher flows to be gauged, although difficult to gauge at high
flows due to flashy response. | Pre-1997 peak flow data from the old
station at a slightly different location is rejected pending review of
consistency with the later data. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Impermeable Ordovician
sediments with volcanic rocks outcropping. Tal-y-Llyn (southernmost ribbon lake
in Britain) lies within catchment. Mostly grassland, with areas of upland heath.

Velocity area station. Closed in 2001. | Velocity-Area site with an
extremely mobile bed. Attempts were made to stabilise the section with
engineering works and the inclusion of a gravel trap. The gravel trap failed to
perform (requiring far more emptying than envisaged) and the situation of the
trap also spoiled hydraulic conditions in the cableway section. Site was
therefore considered uneconomical to maintain and was closed in 2001. |

straight flood-banked reach. | No cableway. Modular limit unknown. Wing
walls contain flows to high levels. Suffers from gravel accumulation. Weir
repaired summer 2018, awaiting sufficient gaugings to complete rating review.
Single peak flow rating applied over period of record, which shows good fit to
gaugings. | No daily flow data since September 2014 due to weir
deterioration, data from 2011 should also be treated with caution. The river
burst its banks u/s of the station during the record high flow event of 8 June
2012, causing some of the flow to bypass the station. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Predominantly impervious Silurian rocks. Majority grassland, some forested
area. | Abstraction into Craig-y-Pistyll reservoir and five discharges
upstream of gauging station; substantial net loss of water resulting from these
transfers, since sum of discharges does not nearly equal amount of water
withdrawn for reservoir. |

Crump profile weir 4m wide. Small upland catchment with largely natural flow
regime. | Crump profile weir 4m wide. Small upland catchment with largely
natural flow regime. Station opened in 1997, mainly as a result of increased
interest in hydropower development in the area and a lack of gauged data from
small upland catchments. | Single theoretical rating valid since station
built in 1997. Some scatter in low flow check gaugings, largely due to gravel
accumulation (and removal) and weed growth. Check gaugings tighten up at
mid-high range flows. Gravel removed annually from gravel trap. QMED contained
within wingwalls, however flows do go out of bank upstream causing some ponding,
which is not thought to be significant. Lack of high flow gaugings (and
therefore rating extrapolation) mean this station is probably borderline in
terms of meeting Peak Flow FEH QMED criteria. Further high flow gaugings are
being targeted to calibrate the high flow rating limb. No tail measurement or
cableway. | Station added to peak flows dataset in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7). | Small, wet, mountainous, upland catchment. Bedrock largely
consists of Ordovician mudstone and siltstone, with glacial deposits in the
valley bottom. | Largely natural flow regime, only one small licensed
abstraction upstream. Hydrological response is flashy, with higher than average
baseflows for this type of catchment - possibly supported by springs (Q95 is
approx 20% of Qmean). |

River section with non-standard stone section control. | A 20m wide
river section with non-standard stone section control. High profile site due to
its importance for early flood warnings. | Gravel removal may have
produced abrupt level changes in the past (accumulations downstream cause
backing up) but careful management and regular clearance allow a more stable
rating to be maintained. Multiple ratings applied to period of record because of
unstable bed, however only Rating 1, M, S, V and X are presented due to
relevance to AMAX Flows. Station bypassed above levels of approximately 1.8m.
Out of bank flow is substantial and is now accounted for in modelled high flow
rating limbs that have been applied to the whole record. Rating tends to be
insensitive at low flows due to subtle movements in the natural bed control but
the non-standard stone section control improves stability. High flow gauging
restricted to peaks and troughs because of rapid water level changes. No peak
flow gaugings prior to 1989, therefore early ratings unverified. | Rating
review in 2022 resulted in high flow modelled limbs being added to all historic
ratings and flows reprocessed. Uncertainty remains at very high flows as there
are no gaugings including the bypassing flow available to assess performance of
the modelled limbs. Peak flow data prior to 1967 has been entered but may be
regarded as suspect. Drop out in mean flows in early June 2020 due to gravel
extraction taking place. Gaugings in February 2020 should be treated with
caution due to bypassing flow not being measured and possible equipment issues.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP
Files v5). | Very wet, upland catchment draining southern flanks of
Snowdonia with much bare rock exposure (impermeable Silurian volcanics).
Otherwise, land use is mostly grassland and rough moorland grazing. Some
forest. | Lakes (Dinas and Gwynant) and HEP discharge from the higher Llyn
Llydaw marginally affect records. |

Non-standard shallow V Crump weir. Significant PWS abstraction from Llyn
Cwellyn reservoir u/s. | A 10.37m wide non-standard shallow V Crump weir,
rebuilt in late 2009 after original standard Crump weir was damaged in
2004. | Weir has 1:2 upstream slope and 1:20 downstream slope, which
consists of a rocky ramp split by oak beams and shallow pools for improved fish
passage (p value of weir crest remained unchanged after rebuild). Contains flows
to high levels. Weir thought to remain modular, although no downstream level
recorder so modular limit unknown. Cableway installed in 2009 for high flow
gauging. Check gauging suggests some (constant) loss due to inadequate cut-offs,
hence low flows affected. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record. | 2004-05 data suspect, particularly at low flows as uncertainty
surrounding date of weir failure. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | A steep and typically
Snowdonian upland catchment. Impermeable Lower Palaeozoic and volcanics. Mostly

Crump profile weir. Located in the lowland catchment on the Lleyn peninsula.
Natural flow regime. | A 6m wide Crump profile weir. | Gravel
accumulation issues - gravel shovelled over weir crest on an annual basis. High
wing walls contain the full flow range. Bridge constructed upstream of weir on
wingwalls to assist in ability to gauge higher flows. Ongoing investigation into
unexplained changes in water balance over time. Two peak flow ratings applied
over period of record. | The outstanding flood in August 2000 resulted
from a localised but very intense thunderstorm. It was contained within the
structure (and confirmed by wrack marks) but the peak flow is an estimate. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7). | Mostly lowland catchment on the Lleyn peninsula, with hills
in N. Impermeable bedrock geology, covered with Boulder Clay. Mainly grassland
(rough grazing), some woodland. | Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Non-standard compound crump weir. Pumped storage scheme marginally affects
flows. | Gauging station located on the left bank upstream of a
non-standard compound control (not owned or managed/maintained by NRW).
Originally built as part of investigations prior to construction of the Dinorwic
pumped-storage scheme. | A rated section which has not yet been bypassed
(possibility for bypassing on the left bank floodplain). Left hand bend in river

Crump weir; located in a steep section of the River Colwyn. | A 5m
wide Crump weir (u/s approach depth 1m), located in a steep section of the River
Colwyn. | Modular through to high flows. High wing walls prevent bypassing
and structure only drowns at very high flows due to steep channel section d/s.
Some problems with gravel accumulation, which is removed annually, and weed
growth. Gauging challenging due to low velocities and unsuitability for ADCP.
Low priority for gaugings so unsuitable as NRFA peak flow station. | Drop
out in mean flows in early June 2020 due to gravel extraction taking place. |
Impermeable catchment draining southern flanks of Snowdonia, predominantly
Silurian volcanics often exposed at surface. Steep, wet catchment covered with
grass, bare rock and some forested area. Used for rough grazing. | Highly
responsive regime, used for early flood warnings. |

Crump weir; ongoing issues at site may affect data. | A 9m wide Crump
weir (u/s approach depth 0.5m). | Data quality thought to be of acceptable
quality at low-medium flows, but poor approach flow conditions cause significant
problems when attempting to calibrate weir in high flow conditions. Gravel
accumulation a serious issue at this site. | Data from 10 Jan 2011 suspect
due to discrepancy between in-well levels and in-river levels (but MA believe
problem to have been present for longer), and subject to ongoing investigation
by MA (as of September 2013). | Impermeable catchment draining western
flanks of Snowdonia. Lower Palaeozoic formations and volcanics partially covered
with glacial till in lower reaches. Mostly grassland, with remainder of
catchment made up of forest and bare rock. Used for rough grazing. | |

Velocity area station, opened 1959. Low flows augmented by groundwater. |
Velocity area station, opened 1959. | Station refitted June-Aug 1997,
with gabions added to stabilise the section and bed check weir. Out of bank
flows occur on both banks around 50 cumecs; some out-of-bank storage u/s at high
flows in Vale of Clwyd. Rating is relatively stable although known to be
affected by weed growth and sediment/sand movement - inlet pipe prone to silting
up although cleared regularly. Weed growth is cleared as required and current
meter gauging undertaken. A bend 100m downstream causes variation in velocities
across the section, which results in greater uncertainty in the rating,
particularly at low flows. New rating created following Feb 2004 flood. Multiple
peak flow ratings also exist due to instability of the station. Good fit to
gaugings up to QMED, beyond which greater scatter occurs. River often flows over
a low section of bank upstream (at least once a year). | No GDFs during
refit June-Aug 1997. Early peak flow record (1959-69) is not presented because
it is available only as flow values, and because of the uncertainties in the
ratings. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April
2017 (WINFAP v5). | Headwaters rise in Silurian shales and grits of
Denbigh Moors and Clwydian Hills, then flow across generally confined Triassic
Sandstone aquifer (with artesian heads over large areas). Mostly superficial
deposits, including Boulder Clay. Rural catchment with mixed land use: grouse
moors to lowland dairy farming, some forested (mainly in SW). | Low flows
augmented using groundwater (approx. 12% of Q95 flow). Flood discharges affected
by floodplain storage in Vale of Clwyd u/s. |

Rated section. Flow affected by PWS. Station closed in 1973. | Rated
section. Station closed in 1973. | Section formed just u/s of a small
tributary; thought to be far enough to avoid backwater affects. Medium-sized
gravel bed. During a flood the peak on the tributary has probably passed before
the main peak occurs. In extreme floods (>2.9m) the stations begins to be
bypassed u/s on the left bank over a distance of 75m. No gaugings available
above QMED. High flows may have been substantially underestimated. Multiple peak
flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from
August 1971. The ratings found for this station are all very similar, diverging
slightly beyond 2m. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | The Elwy catchment lies on
impermeable Silurian Shales and Mudstones, with a small amount of Carboniferous
Limestone and an extensive Boulder Clay cover. Land use is predominantly
grassland, with some forestry in lower valley. | Runoff reduced by public
water supply abstraction. |

Single-level Crump weir. Originally a temporary timber weir. Natural flow
regime. | Single-level Crump weir. Weir 3.034m wide, between vertical
sidewalls with eel pass. Immediately d/s of rectangular channel beneath disused
railway bridge. Originally a temporary timber weir between Sept 1967 and Sept
1969. Station closed on 14/07/2023 due to access issues. | Limited
seasonal weed growth. Gravel accretion occurs u/s of weir, cleared regularly.
Station bypassed at high flows due to bend u/s of bridge (for example, during
the 2000 flood event). Bridge u/s causes some surcharging and is obstructed at
high flows; flow data above 3.95 m3/s are highly suspect and should not be used.
Station refitted in June 1997; hut re-built and bridge installed, but weir
untouched (no rating change). Two peak flow ratings applied across period of
record, the most recent is valid from January 1974. Well gauged to QMED with
good fit to rating. Out of bank flow not considered in the current rating. |
Used predominantly as low flow station. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Moderate
permeability carboniferous limestone to N of river; impermeable Silurian to S.
Extensive cover of patchy sand and gravel deposits and Boulder Clay. Mainly
grassland, some forest. | Natural to within 10% at Q95. |

Non-standard concrete weir with central low flow notch (short trapezoidal
flume). | Station rebuilt in 2009. Central notch is for low flows and fish
pass. | Weir width: 14m. Large modular range (extending well beyond the
2000 flood). Hydraulic continuity between GW and streamflow along part of Afons
Clywd and Hesbin. Larinier fish pass constructed up centre of central notch as
part of rebuild in 2009 (used to be 3 stepped pools). Side looking ADCP
installed under the bridge in 2010, used as backup. Above 1.2m, flow backs up
behind bridge which causes flooding of fields upstream, but no bypassing. D/s
stilling basin has walls with low flow notches cut out. GDF gaugings completed
through flow range. Three peak flow ratings applied across period of record
based on gaugings. High confidence in rating up until bank full. Site is well
gauged below QMED with some high flow gaugings. | Data was reprocessed
from 2001 -2006, using three separate ratings for the period. High flows
increased, and the 2005 and 2006 low flows were reduced. | Upper Clwyd
rises in area of impermeable Palaeozoic rocks, with more permeable strata in
lower catchment. Patchy Boulder Clay cover. Most grassland, with some forest
cover. | Hydraulic continuity known to exist between groundwater and
streamflow along parts of the Clywd and Hesbin. Mwrog Street Flood Alleviation
Scheme constructed in 2004. This diverts all flow in excess of 1 cumec from the
Mrwog around the town and discharges in the Clwyd downstream of the gauging
station. Before this, all flows in the Mwrog discharged to the Clwyd upstream of
the gauging station. Estimated reduction of QMED at Ruthin by approx 7%. |

Twin arch bridge with castellated low profile crump weirs under each arch.
Flows affected by abstraction for public water supply. | Twin arch bridge
with castellated low profile crump weirs under each arch to enable low flow
monitoring. | Twin arch bridge provides control at medium flows; 1m wide
Crump weir blocks set in castellated manner within 10m wide archway to achieve
low flow sensitivity. Low flows affected (>10%) by residual flow of 0.2
cumecs in Afon Aled (from reservoirs which drain 6% of catchment). Some
bypassing at levels > 2.0m. Rebuild in 2006 when instrument hut moved from
left bank to right bank, with works designed to contain more extreme events. New
cableway installed summer 2007 to allow high flow gauging. Multiple peak flow
ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from October
2006. Gauged during out of bank flow conditions with good fit to rating. |
Digital record starts on 28/12/1972 but there is significant periods of
missing data up to 01/01/1982. AMAX and PoT data for this period are from chart
records. New rating from 01/08/97, data reprocessed. Missing data July-September
2006 during rebuild. New rating developed June 2009 and applied back to June
2006. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017
(WINFAP v5). | Impermeable Silurian strata with patchy Boulder Clay cover.

contains 400 - 450 cumecs before bypassing occurs. Low flows are gauged at
cableway using ADCP. Section requires frequent recalibration due to shifting bed
control. Record is very important in Conwy valley flood forecasting so much
effort is spent to ensure rating is kept accurate. Multiple peak flow ratings
applied across period of record to account for shift in bed through time. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017
(WINFAP Files v5). Ratings reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed from 1980. |
Very wet upland catchment - mainly mountainous, developed mostly impermeable
Palaeozoic formations and volcanics. Mostly grassland, upland hill farming, with
exposures of bare rock and heath. Some forest, mainly in lower catchment. |
A largely natural flow regime; Runoff reduced by public water supply
abstraction. |

Combined electromagnetic and rated section. Known issues due to
siltation. | Nearby 66001 remains the primary gauging station due to
issues with siltation. | Combined electromagnetic (low flows) and rated
section (medium to high flows), data sets merged to give GDF. Substantial
bypassing above mean annual flood level. Well is prone to siltation and blockage
of the inlet pipe, particularly affecting low flows. | No daily flow data
since September 2014 due to rating greatly over-estimating flows. EM gauge
faulty from late 2011; flows from 2012 based entirely on rated section, low flow
end of which is not well-defined due to paucity of gaugings. | Headwaters
rise in Silurian shales and grits of Denbigh Moors and Clwydian Hills, then flow
across generally confined Triassic Sandstone aquifer (with artesian heads over

except extension of wing walls in 1975 allowing calibration to 30 cumecs. Before
Aug 1975 flows above 15 cumecs estimated by rating curve extrapolation and
hydrograph estimation because vertical drum level recorder truncated peaks. |
Natural flow until Aug 1975, when impounding started: monthly naturalised
flows since. GDFs sent to Measuring Authority, may be patchy and not up to
date. | Open moorland. Catchment area revised in 1973 and increased by 0.8
sq km. | Llyn Brenig began impounding in 1975 and holds nearly four times
annual average runoff. Pre-reservoir FARL is 0.983 and should be used with the

Compound broad-crested weir, modified from original velocity-area in 1969.
Natural flow regime. | Compound broad-crested weir modified from original
velocity-area site in 1969. There was an eel pass on site from 2010-2012. |
Cableway installed in mid-1970s, upgraded in 1997. Gravel removed annually
from upstream apron of the weir to the gravel trap. Gravel trap emptied
annually. High flows rated using cableway. Flows >20 cumecs regularly
verified by gaugings. New rating following station refitting in September 1997.

Trapezoidal flume in concrete trapezoidal channel. Substantial losses of
river flow. | Trapezoidal flume in concrete trapezoidal channel. Site
constructed in 1939. Intermittent flow regime. | Site is subject to rapid
gravel accumulation, and so gravel is removed annually and after any mid-year
high flow events. Gravel traps upstream of the flume. One peak flow rating
applied across period of record. Rating valid from 0.05m stage. Rating shows
good fit to gaugings up to 4.77m. Main level measurement is bridge mounted
radar. Flow resumption subject to delay caused by float getting stuck in silt at
the bottom of the stilling well. Bung added to inlet pipe to reduce data quality
issues with shaft encoder. | Discharge frequently zero due to flow
entering swallow holes in limestone upstream of site, hence rating only computes
flows when stage exceeds 0.05m. Reprocessed flows for 2000-2008 loaded in 2012.
Pre-1968 daily flows are very suspect, not held on the NRFA. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Impermeable Silurian rocks in W half, Carboniferous Limestone
escarpment to E. Mainly grass pasture, extensive forest cover. | Swallow
holes frequent between Maeshafn and Rhydymwyn; substantial losses of river flow
through percolation to mine discharge tunnels. Flow is zero or near-zero
approximately half of the time, with a marked difference between summer and
winter flow duration curves. |

Compound Crump profile weir. Station closed 1981-83 and 1984-87 for
financial reasons; fully operational since 1988. Natural flow regime. |
Compound Crump profile weir. | Seasonal weed growth is managed but it
is difficult to clean heavy moss growth on flanking weirs. Combination of no
cableway and poor access makes high flow gaugings difficult. Despite station
closure and re-commissioning, homogeneous hydrometric performance; compound
crump weir identical to that originally installed in 1960s. Two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from April
1972. Flows prior to 1968 calculated with a non-standard rating equation. |
Station closed 1981-83 and 1984-87 for financial reasons; flows exist for
intervening period, thought to be due to informal data collection. Fully
operational since 1988. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and

Asymmetrical compound Crump profile weir. | Asymmetrical compound
Crump profile weir. Replaced 67002 Erbistock Rectory in order to provide more
accurate measurement of low-medium flows on the river Dee. Site used for flood
warning. | Structure comprises two crump weirs (low/high flow weirs 15/20m
wide respectively). Low flow weir below < 12 cumecs. Drowns at flows above
200 cumecs, but not bypassed (due to rock outcrop on left bank upstream of the
high flow weir, and revetments on right bank). Refurbished in 1997, with further
work in 2014 to replace weir crests, install fish counter and reinforce banks.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. A number of high
flow gaugings (current meter) confirm rating across most of the range. Cableway
used for high flow gaugings, ADCP boat during low flows. All flows contained in
bank. | Daily flow data from 1937 to 1970 are from 67002 Erbistock
Rectory. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April
2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Discontinuity in low flows in 1966. AMAX data at
Erbistock Rectory are not presented; they do not form a statistically continuous
time series with Manley Hall and have FEH Neither suitability. |
Predominantly impermeable Palaeozoic rocks and volcanics. Shales, slates,
mudstones and Palaeozoic grits, and to a lesser extent extrusive igneous and
Carboniferous rocks. Mostly grassland (upland pasture to lowland livestock
farming). Some forest, significant upland heath. | Abstraction for public
water supply and industrial/agricultural uses. Low flows maintained by releases
from major river regulating reservoirs, Celyn and Brenig. AMAX series is
impacted by reservoir management. Flood attenuation on the lower Dee flood plain
is notable. |

Flat-V concrete ford located d/s of confluence with Afon Lliw. Natural flow
regime. Data from site is used operationally for flood alleviation, flood
warning and a daily naturalization indicator. | Flat-V concrete ford.
Located d/s of confluence with Afon Lliw. Data from site is used operationally
for flood alleviation, flood warning and a daily naturalization indicator for
upper Dee flows. | Station located on a bend. Gravel removed annually from
upstream of square concrete weir blocks to 25m upstream of confluence of River
Dee with the Lliw. Out-of-bank flows occur almost annually and station is
significantly by-passed above around 2.2m. Calibration by current meter.
Different peak flow ratings are applicable pre and post weir construction
(1999). Current rating in good agreement with check gaugings to bank full but
does not account for significant bypass. The original control was based on a
rough stone paved ford with stepping stones upstream to provide sensitivity at
low flows. Between 01/04/1998 & 01/04/1999 it was formalized into a shallow
flat-V concrete ford with square blocks cast on the upstream base to mimic the
adjusted configuration. | Data during construction (01/04/1998 -
01/04/1999) was infilled based on nearby station 67010 R. Gelyn at Cynefail.
Data pre-1979 can not be confirmed due to lack of 15 minute data. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5).
Ratings reviewed in 2022 and data reprocessed from 1982. | Upland
catchment. Mainly impermeable Ordovician rocks with minor superficial deposits -
otherwise no water-bearing strata. Land use is mostly rough upland pasture and
extensive forest. | Rapidly responding. Natural to within 10% at Q95.

Simple Crump profile weir. Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. | Simple Crump profile weir, 6m wide. Removed from
peak flows dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). At high flows water
inundates the hut. Eel pass installed in 2022, which has no impact on the
ratings. | The channel frequently blocks with debris from fallen
trees/branches (the river banks are covered with thick vegetation and tree
growth) and there is significant weed growth in the channel. At 1.13 cumecs the
weir becomes non-modular. A road bridge 150 m d/s of gauging station can act as
a constriction, particularly during high flows. Water level is recorded at head
and tail. Mine drainage and abstraction in upper catchment. Until 7/10/1992, 50%
of low flow was treated effluent from Wrexham; after this date the discharge was
piped directly to the Dee. Some works carried out in 2002/3 to attempt to
contain the peak flows. The June 2007 event was almost fully contained. Before
2002/3 works, thought to bypass from approx the ten-year event. | Jun-Aug
2013 levels/flows affected by commissioning of new water treatment works in
catchment. Data removed from 01/01/2021 from NRFA due to due to prolific weed
growth and backwater effects. | Mainly Carboniferous strata, mostly of
moderate permeability, with superficial deposits, Boulder Clay, sands and
gravels. Mixed farming (pasture predominates), substantially urbanised. Much
mining in the catchment. | Runoff influenced by groundwater
abstraction/recharge. |

Station uses US to derive flow. Flows are influenced by abstractions and
tides. | Originally a 45 metre rated section. Converted to cross-path US
during 1994. | Good throughout the range up to approximately 6.8m (200
cumecs). Above 6.8m goes out of bank on right bank and recirculates; in extreme
events site can be bypassed on both banks (on left bank via serpentine). Managed
weed growth. | Data missing during Oct 2000 event, which was the highest
on record at Chester (67033). | Upper catchment impermeable Lower
Palaeozoic rocks with intermittent Drift cover. Below Llangollen, River Dee
crosses Carboniferous L'st escarpment and outcrops of Cefn-y-Fewd sandstone,
Coal Measures and Sherwood S'st, providing many artesian areas in lower
catchment. Principally grassland (upland pasture to lowland livestock farming).
Some forestry, significant upland heath. | Site is tidally influenced and
abstractions mean that flows are about 6 cumecs higher than d/s 67033. |

Level-only station from 2001. | Velocity area station. Station
converted to a level-only site in 2001. | Utilises a series of gravel
traps as a control for low and medium flows only (flows exceeding 1 cumec based
on rating extrapolation and should be treated with extreme caution). |
| Impermeable Ordovician mudstones and shales with volcanics which
provide rapid runoff rates and low baseflows. Mostly rough grazing, some

Non-standard shallow V weir draining a catchment that includes the towns of
Nantwich and Crewe but is largely rural. | Opened in 1937 as a velocity
area station which suffered from a mobile bed and weed problems. Station was
relocated 400m downstream in August 1978 with a non-standard timber shallow V
weir as bed control, 16.5m wide located just u/s of a bend in the river. There
was a brief overlap between the stations. | Cableway present. Mobile
control. Weir drowns at relatively low flows. Bypassing on right bank above
3.5m; inundates adjacent fields, but not regularly. Prone to weed and algal
growth, and sedimentation. There have been significant changes to the channel,
including works immediately upstream of the station, and collapse of the right
bank during the winter 1992/93 with channel improvements some years later. Peak
flow ratings derived from gaugings, extrapolated when overtopping the right
bank. Multiple ratings applied to reflect changes in bank profile, maintenance,
sedimentation and downstream conditions. Early gaugings lost; rating accuracy
unknown. Flood Studies Report grade A2. | Data before 1972, particularly
low flows, are unreliable. Revised daily flow data from 15/08/1979 to 12/2008
loaded in 03/2010: new values are lower, especially at high flows - some reduced
by over 25%; annual runoff typically reduced by 15%; max GDF unchanged, as it
was in 1946. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A
generally low relief catchment below the headwaters with steep upper reaches.
Mixed geology, consisting of Keuper Marl overlain with mostly post-glacial
deposits. Lower Lias shales in the south with Coal Measures, Permian Sandstones
and Bunter Pebble Beds in the east; mostly low permeability with extensive Drift
cover. Land use is largely agricultural but catchment includes Nantwich and
parts of Crewe. | The flat catchment tends to produce sluggish
hydrographs, though some rise rapidly. High flows can be protracted, with
recession delayed. |

Flat-V weir on the Dane, station affected by water backing up from
downstream. Includes data from earlier velocity-area station 10m upstream. |
Opened as a velocity-area station in 1949, and rebuilt in 1957. Replaced in
February 1979 by a Flat-V weir, 14m wide with truncated downstream slope. Both
stations downstream of high road bridge, and ran simultaneously for a
while. | The original Velocity-area station suffered from changes in bed
level due to mobile control which required several changes to rating with
uncertainty as to applicability to high flows and to periods over which ratings
applied. The current weir drowns at approx 1m. Cableway installed 01/1982; since
removed. Gauged by wading or from u/s bridge. High flows regularly inundate
fields over left bank (3.6m). Suffers from variable backwater which may affect
the peak flow rating, due to backing-up from the Weaver but possibly also
affected by changes in the maintenance regime; a downstream level recorder was
installed in September 2002. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of
record developed from in-bank current meter gaugings. From 1979 uses ratings
derived from gaugings for the Flat-V weir, with hydraulic modelling applied to
derive the top limb. Flood Studies Report grade B. | Gauged daily flow
data should be treated with caution prior to 02/1979. Low flows poor before
06/1957 (changing bed levels and cross section due to large amounts of silt).
Summer 1976 flows might be overestimated. No daily flows available during weir
construction (11/1978 to 02/1979). Re-rated data for 09/2000 to 12/2009 loaded
onto NRFA 10/2010; highest gauged daily flows reduced by around 10%. Although
peak flows are presented for the period of record, flows before 1979 are marked
as rejected and should not be used in flood analyses. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
Headwaters in the southern Pennines but, for most part, river meanders over
Cheshire plain with varying depths of post glacial drift overlying Triassic
sandstone and Upper Triassic Keuper marl (mostly low permeability). In the east
are Carboniferous Limestones, sandstones and grits. Alluvium in the valley
bottoms. Mixed land use with appreciable urban development in the lower
catchment. No catchment changes known. | Responsive regime. Headwater
transfers to Rudyard and Bosley reservoirs, which feed the Trent and Mersey
canal. Many artificial influences within the catchment. |

A flat V piled weir station that was moved upstream in Sept 1972 due to an
unstable control. | Initially a 6m wide section on a bend with chart
records from 1955, but early data in particular are poor. Low flow control
installed 1978 and modified to an informal Flat V piled weir in May 1980. Bank
re-profiling work was undertaken in 2008 on the left bank due to slippage. |
Silt accumulates behind weir in times of low flow. Flows above 0.7m less
reliably measured. Bankfull at 2.3m. | | Below headwaters geology
is generally of low permeability (Mercia mudstone with extensive Drift cover).
Land is primarily agricultural but central and southern parts of Crewe dominate
lowest portion of the catchment. | Responsive regime with artificial
influences evident during periods of low flow. |

Velocity area station with thin-plate weir draining a predominantly rural
catchment on the Cheshire Plain. | Velocity area station (from 1936) with
rectangular thin-plate low flow weir with broad-crested flanking crests (from
1951). Level recording installed downstream of the weir in 1951, moved upstream
of the weir in March 1969. | At high flows, the weir drowns, flows spill
out of right bank at approx 2.5m, and the rating is insensitive. Spot gaugings
used to derive rating for low to medium flows. Some scatter in gaugings. Changes
in channel maintenance are thought to have reduced capacity over the years. One
peak flow ratings applied; before and after October 1969. Cableway present.
Flood Studies Report grade B. | Gauged daily flows during the period when
level measurement was downstream of the weir (1951-1969) are poor, with no
reliable rating. Flows from 1973 onwards reprocessed in 2002, with substantial
reduction in high flows. Revised data from 1/1977 to 12/2008 loaded in 03/2010;
annual runoff typically 7% lower. Peak flows data available from October 1969.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | A mostly flat
catchment in the Cheshire Plain developed on post glacial deposits over keuper
marl, Lias clay and sand; largely impermeable. In the extreme north-west,
Triassic sandstones are exposed. The catchment is widely covered with glacial
deposits of clays, sands and gravels. Land use is predominantly rural,
consisting of mixed farmland with only a few villages. No catchment changes
known. | Minor groundwater abstractions and returns. |

Velocity area station with informal shallow V weir. Station closed
1986. | A velocity area station, opened August 1953. Station re-built late
1978 and 1979, and re-commissioned in August 1979 with an informal shallow V
weir, 14.1 m wide, new hut and cableway. Station closed 1986. Catchment similar
(only 5% larger) to Congleton Park (68018). | No known bypassing. Two peak
flow ratings applied across period of record, before and after August 1979 when
the informal V weir was constructed. Flood Studies Report grade B. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP

Velocity area station affected by siltation which therefore has multiple
historical ratings and was closed for daily and peak flow measurement in 2018.
No replacement. | A velocity-area station from October 1960, until an
informal trench pile weir was installed in April 1982. Siltation caused
reversion to open channel over time. Stilling well replaced by external pressure
transducer in June 2010. Station improvement works in 2013. Closed from peak
flows dataset in August 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Cableway present.
Extensive bypassing above approx 2.5m. Site experiences serious siltation which
gives wide scatter in gaugings at low flows (consistently 60% since January
2009), and scour during high flow events, although the higher gaugings are more
consistent. The site has an unstable bed and suffers from a build of silt so has
to be pumped out regularly to prevent blockage. Siltation led to control being
submerged and became a more serious problem after 11/2006 as the channel
naturally realigned following stabilisation works on the left bank. The inlet
pipe was extended in February 2008 to help combat siltation. Multiple ratings,
based on gaugings, necessary due to the siltation. For peak flows, the several
alternative ratings have been rationalised to before and after the weir in 1982.
Flood Studies Report grade B. | No POT data are presented for this station
as they have no non-modular flow correction applied whilst AMAX data have been
corrected. Daily mean flows are at times greater than AMAX flows partly because
they are not corrected. Also, the daily flow rating history extrapolation
differs from that of peak flows; daily mean flows before 01/04/1982 above 20
cumecs are likely overestimated. Period of missing data in 2013 due to station
improvement works. No data held after 2018. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Linear, low
relief catchment with mudstones and saliferous beds of the Mercia Mudstone
blanketed by Boulder Clay and glacial sands and gravel. Rural, except for SW
Knutsford. Drains an elongated area on the northern edge of the Cheshire plain,
containing many meres and ornamental lakes. No catchment changes known. |

A shallow V sheet pile control installed in 1979 in a mainly rural
catchment. | Shallow V sheet pile control installed in May 1979; some
levels available from EA prior to this but not processed to flow. | Some
low flow features caused by ponding and release upstream. However, flows above
1.5 cumecs should be treated with caution until high flow rating
established. | Late 2010 and 2011 flows removed from NRFA due to
substantial overestimation caused by vegetation d/s of the weir causing it to
drown out. Missing data from 26/12/2021 until 07/01/2022 and 13/01/2023 until
19/01/2023 because of power failure (no backup available). | River shares
most of its valley with the Shropshire Union Canal. Catchment mostly in Cheshire
plain; post glacial Drift overlying Triassic sandstone and marl. Rural in
character. | Responsive regime. |

Broad-crested weir oblique to flow gauging a mainly rural catchment. |
Station opened February 1936 on an existing broad-crested mill weir oblique
to flow (channel width 17.3m upstream, weir 46.3m across), with relatively
narrow crest but a long sloping downstream face at approx 1:5 slope. Station
closed in 1953 and re-opened in 1968. Flows available for a similar catchment
from 1953 to 1986 at Hulme Walfield downstream (68006). | Crest is approx
2.9m above downstream channel, which is comparatively narrow, so only extreme
events might drown. Channel upstream of weir has high vertical walls, although
slight spill over left bank at the weir above approx 1m. Sluice to the old mill
(on right bank) reported in November 1971 as having been recently filled in -
the offtake to the mill will have reduced flows, but probably had little effect
on flood events. One peak flow rating applied across period of record, developed
from hydraulic modelling which considered out of bank flow and confirmed by ADCP
gaugings. | The chart datum was lowered by 1ft from 15/8/1940 to closure
on 4/5/1953, and the original datum was used when station reopened in 1968.
Stages presented in the peak flow holdings have been set to the original datum.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). | The north-east and south-west are made up of
Millstone Grit and shale, overlain by coal measures. In the centre, the Yoredale
series of shale and sandstones are exposed with Upper Triassic Keuper Marls in
the west. The area is partly covered with glacial clays, sands and gravels.
Alluvium occupies the bottom of the valleys. A mainly rural catchment. No
catchment changes known. | Bosley reservoir is in the catchment. Several
groundwater abstractions. |

Flat V weir gauging a largely rural catchment in Cheshire. | A
standard Flat V weir, 6m wide with 1:10 cross-slopes, opened in August 1979,
located 30m upstream of a tight bend. Station replaced Picton (68002, 1km
d/s). | Cableway present. Variable backwater due to significant seasonal
weed growth (e.g. in 2008). Maintenance of downstream channel reduced after
1999. Flows affected by backwater estimated by gauging upstream within road
bridge. Siltation can also cause backwater problems (channel is intermittently
dredged). High flows inundate adjacent fields. Some circulation effects
downstream of structure near right bank. Originally gauged with a current meter
by cableway, which did not include bypassing. Complex range of issues since
January 2012: reduced dredging and conveyance of sediment affecting rating curve
and stage discharge techniques, whilst broken tidal flaps have introduced tidal
fluctuations in stage record. As a result, flow derivation suspended in 2012, to
explore alternative flow measurement methods, but since re-instated. Originally
a theoretical rating. The separate ratings for summer and winter make some
allowance for varying weed and siltation. Out of bank flows are only known
approximately. | Revised gauged daily flows from start of record (08/1979)
to 10/1981 loaded on 11/08/2009 due to new rating that reduced the flows. Gauged
daily flows rejected from 11/07/2009 to 10/10/2009. A high flow gauging on
26/6/2007 was made by ADCP from the bridge, which included all flows - see
photograph for out of bank flows at around 2.22m. 1981 and 2000 floods are under
review. Discontinuity in low flows (e.g. 24/05/18 and 26/09/19) caused by switch
to summer rating. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | A largely rural catchment in the
Cheshire Plain; low relief, glacial drift over Triassic sandstones and marl. No
catchment changes known. | Responsive regime. Sluice gates control flow
downstream to catchment outflow into Manchester Ship Canal. Some minor
abstractions and discharges. |

Non-standard compound flume draining an urban catchment west of
Birkenhead. | Station opened in 2005 on pre-existing non-standard compound
flume in rectangular concrete channel, with long backslope giving a drop
downstream. | The very highest flows have been observed to spill out of
bank upstream and to have approached the soffit of the bridge immediately
upstream. The effect on the peak flow will have been slight. Peak flow rating
based on low flow current meter gaugings within flume and high flow gaugings
using ADCP from the bridge at the station. Rating extended beyond highest
gauging (at 1.32m) using hydraulic model. | First year of record rejected
as it's a partial year of data. Some discontinuities in the stage record. Issues
with the outstation in 2017-2018 mean that flows should be treated with caution.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022
(WINFAP Files v11). | Very flat and urbanised catchment. Geology mostly of
blown sand deposits with Boulder Clay over Sherwood Sandstone. No catchment
changes known. | |

Flat-V weir in responsive catchment draining the western Peak District. |
Flat V weir (1:20 cross-slopes) constructed in November 1991, continuous
records from August 1992. | Gravel accretion above the weir affects the
rating at low flows. An arched road bridge 20 m downstream can cause the river
to back up to the weir at high stages. Above bankfull at 0.95m, flow expands out
onto a wide flood plain, and into and around the station hut on the right,
bypassing the cableway on both banks. Not rated above bankfull. Multiple peak
flow ratings derived from gaugings applied across period of record. | The
level of the flood event of October 1998 is estimated from wrack marks in the
gauging hut. This level is considerably above both bankfull and the
applicability of the rating, and probably reflects control from the road bridge.
The flow value is therefore very uncertain. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A
predominantly rural catchment with steep relief, draining the western flank of
the Peak District. Mixed geology including Millstone Grit, Yoredale series, coal
measures and sandstone. The area is partly covered with glacial clays, sands and
gravels. No catchment changes known. | Very responsive regime. Abstraction
immediately upstream of weir for water treatment works. |

A broad-crested weir station that was closed in 1983. | Original 1934
calibration of this rather insensitive broad-crested weir was by formula but, in
1938, a model-based rating led to significant increases in estimates of high
flows. Station closed in 1983. | Current meter gaugings 1975-85 suggest
that flows above 10 cumecs should be higher still. 1921 data from published
source. | | Steep tributary streams rise mainly on western slopes
of Pennines (Millstone Grit), extensive Drift cover below headwaters. Land use
transition from open moorland to the heavily urbanised lower catchment (includes
much of south Manchester). Longdendale reservoirs control 10% of the
catchment. | |

Broad-crested weir on the Irwell in Salford, used in conjunction with
Manchester Racecourse upstream. | Station opened in 1935 on a 40m wide
broad-crested weir on a mill in urban Salford. The river Irk joins the Irwell
2km downstream. Operated in conjunction with Manchester Racecourse (69025) which
is about 1.5km upstream. However, current development of peak flow rating will
remove the need for Manchester Racecourse as a sister site. | Weir is
insensitive at low flows, and low flows may be affected by minor leakage through
right bank retaining wall. Very little weed growth at station where the level is
measured. All flows except extreme events (e.g. September 1946) are contained
within the river channel. Weir is drowned during very high flows. After the
major flooding in 1946, flood alleviation measures included channel improvements
downstream of the weir, which from September 1970 increased the flow at which
the weir is drowned. Rating history includes hydraulic modelling at Manchester,
and later Liverpool, University. Until 1971, charts were designed to show flow
clearly, with stage only secondary, though the rating and chart range changed
over the period. Rating originally established by physical model tests and
current meter gaugings upstream at Manchester Racecourse (69025). Flow
hydrographs should be the same at Adelphi Weir and Manchester Racecourse, but
since the early 1990's some events have a lesser flow recorded at Adelphi Weir,
possibly due to siltation or well lag. In-channel PTX installed March 2010 as a
check on peak levels - the rating curve uses the PTX when the levels are greater
than 0.250m to account for the well issues. Priority site for high flow gaugings
with a view to developing a peak flow rating. Flood Studies Report grade C. |
Gauged daily flows: some records from 1935, routine data capture began in
1949. Major technical problems in 2000: gaps in Mar, Apr, Jun, Sep & Oct
estimated by NRFA using 69023. Peak flows: a single combined AMAX series for
69002 and 69025 is held under 69025 from 1941. The winter flooding of 15/16 was
just in bank. | Permo-Triassic sandstones in the south-west with coal
measures, grits and sandstones of the Carboniferous series to the north and west
overlain by postglacial drift deposits. The high ground is made up of peat and
the valleys consist of sands and gravels. Deeply incised headwaters valleys
drain the Pennine moors; lower catchment includes the urban/industrial areas of
Bolton, Bury and Rochdale. No catchment changes known. | Very responsive
regime. Many abstractions and storage reservoirs - highest impact on low to mean
flows. Flood basins upstream of Manchester Racecourse attenuate peak flows -
Littleton Road (completed prior to Jan 2008 flood) and Castle Irwell (completed
2017). |

Non-standard weir affected by siltation, weed growth and debris. Station
closed 2001 and replaced by Collyhurst (69043). | Station closed 2001 and
replaced by Collyhurst (69043); period of overlap shows good agreement between
flows at the two stations. | No bypassing and very likely to remain
modular as the drop is several metres over the weir. A heavily polluted river
where siltation, weed growth and debris are recurrent problems and clearance is
dangerous. Original rating based on physical model tests in 1936 and check
gaugings at Redbank 1km upstream. Site was re-levelled in 1976 and new rating
applied based on gaugings. Third rating, based on gaugings, applied after flood
damage to weir crest in 1983. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | Due to
siltation, weed growth and debris there is particular doubt on low-flow records
before 1976, although data quality in general is not good. Weir damaged by a
flood in December 1983. Station closed between February 1991 and October 1995.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023
(WINFAP Files v12). | Low to moderate relief catchment; moorland
headwaters but extensively urbanised in the lower Irk (includes Oldham and north
Manchester). Solid geology: Coal Measures and Permo-Triassic sandstones, fully
overlain by post-glacial sands and gravel and subordinate boulder clay. No
catchment changes known. | Responsive flow regime but with a wide range of
artificial influences including many industrial abstractions and effluent
discharges. One small reservoir. |

Ultrasonic station gauging a low relief catchment in south Wigan. Replaced
velocity area station in 1995. | Twin-path ultrasonic gauge installed in
1995 which replaced a velocity area station. Station used for flood warning.
Operated as level-only from 1983 - 1995. | No stable rating due to the
effects of weed growth. No bypassing reported. | Some gaps in record,
particularly in early years. Velocity area record unreliable as very badly
affected by weed growth throughout the year and suffered backwater effects from
the Ship Canal. AMAX and POT data are entirely from ultrasonic gauge (February
1996 onwards). Gaps in ultrasonic record from 2003 onwards due to equipment
failure and debris. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). Missing data Nov-Dec 2021 whilst ultrasonics
upgraded. | Low relief catchment with headwaters in South Wigan with three
major flashes (instream lakes created from mining subsidence). No catchment
changes known. Solid geology: Coal Measures in the headwaters, otherwise
Sherwood Sandstone with some Marl. Extensively draped with Boulder Clay, some
peat and glacial gravels south of Leigh. Many urban centres, much effluent,
motorway drainage and potential mine drainage pollution. Much of the catchment
is relatively flat agricultural land. Some tributaries extend into mining and
industrial areas. | Catchment contains Pennington Flash and other smaller
flashes. Bedford Park Storage Basin in upper reach - part of flood control
scheme. |

Velocity area station upstream of the confluence with the Manchester Ship
Canal. Station closed in January 2002 and replaced by Bollington Mill
(69045). | A velocity area station in a natural river section located a
few km upstream of the confluence with the Manchester Ship Canal. Opened 1936,
closed 09/01/2002, replaced by Bollington Mill 750m upstream (69045). | No
formal control or structure (so no wing wall height held), cableway present. No
bypassing reported. The riverbed is mobile, with sediment erosion during high
flows and accumulation during dry spells; summer weed growth also a problem. The
Bridgwater canal, which crosses the river just upstream of the station, burst
its banks in August 1971, and modified the river bed for at least 18 months.
Daily flow rating only approximate owing to very unstable bed and weed growth.
Site also affected by siltation causing blockage of inlet to stilling well.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is
valid from December 1985. Ratings derived from current meter gaugings,
significant scatter towards high flows. Flood Studies Report grade B. |
Level records from 1937. Flows from 1954 but of poor quality due to mobile
bed. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Geology of the upper reaches consists of
Millstone Grit and the lower parts have marls overlain with postglacial
deposits. Land use is very mixed - a predominantly rural catchment but includes
the urban areas of Macclesfield near the headwaters, Wilmslow in the
mid-catchment and the outskirts of Greater Manchester at the outlet. No
catchment changes known. | Very responsive regime. Reservoirs and many
industrial abstractions and discharges affect low flows particularly. |

Compound broad-crested weir with ultrasonics. Peak flows truncated by flood
storage basins. | Station opened in 1958 as a replacement for Irlam Weir
(69001) downstream. A compound broad-crested weir, 24m wide overall, with
central lower section 12.2m wide and 0.49m lower than flanking crests (no divide
piers). A 5-level cross-path Ultrasonic station was commissioned March 2009 just
upstream of the weir, and upgraded in March 2024. A fish pass was added in March
2012 - ultrasonic flows are not affected. Two-stage channel profile, with a step
at 4.5m and bankfull at 5.5m. | The weir is insensitive at low flows and
drowns at high flows. Flows contained - no bypassing. Low and medium flows
generally reliable. Peak flows reliable since cross path ultrasonic gauge
installed for high flow measurement in March 2009. Cableway demolished during
construction of motorway in 1978, then re-instated for most recent high flow
gaugings in late 1990's and removed late 2000's. Until March 2009 flows derived
from rating, based on gaugings. High flow gaugings in 1998 from cableway
revealed a complex stage-discharge pattern (hysteresis) above 100m3/s, which is
thought to be due to variable backwater (differential drowning of the weir crest
and seasonal variations in vegetation growth affecting the conveyance).
Ultrasonic gauge confirms the hysteresis. A fish pass was added in March 2012 -
ultrasonic flows are not affected. Flood Studies Report grade B. | Peak
flows (over 100 m3s-1) before installation of the ultrasonic measurement in
March 2009 are likely to be significantly overestimated. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
A steep westward draining Pennine catchment with headwaters in the Peak
District. Geology is a mixture of gritstones on high ground and Triassic marls
and sandstones overlain with postglacial deposits in the west. Land use
transition from open moorland to the heavily urbanised lower catchment (includes
much of south Manchester). | Responsive regime despite substantial
reservoir development in the headwaters (Longdendale reservoirs control 10% of
the catchment). Several smaller reservoirs in the Tame and Goyt catchments
control a further 13% of the catchment. Flood flows are truncated by operation
of offline storage basins at Didsbury and Sale Ees upstream. |

A compound crump weir on the River Dean. Moorland headwaters. |
Station opened late 1966 with Compound Crump weir. All sections 3.05m wide,
the two side weirs being 0.46m above central lower crest. Downstream recorder
added July 2013 to monitor effect of downstream "pre-weir" to aid fish passage.
No events above bankfull. | The channel bed upstream is silty, and the
main problem has been blockage of the inlet pipe; the well Pipe extended July
2007. Channel accretes at high flow requiring regular clearance. Low to medium
range calibrated by current meter. Gauged close to QMED in 2019. Observations
during events confirm weir highly unlikely to have ever drowned (see
photos). | Some peaks in the series are thought to have been
under-recorded; however, the percentage under-estimate of flow is thought to be
low. Daily flows and AMAX during high flows in July/August 2019 may be
overestimated due to silt on the outer wings of the compound weir. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files
v9). | Steep moorland headwaters drain Millstone Grit from W Pennines and
contain Lamaload Res. Lower catchment developed on Boulder Clay covered Triassic
sandstones and contains Bollington. | Although catchment descriptors are
very similar, flow response is much slower and less peaky than at Wilmslow. An
electro-magnetic gauge at Manchester Airport downstream of the confluence of the
Dean and the Bollin confirms flows at the two upstream stations. (The Manchester
Airport station is now closed). Significant flow disturbance from reservoir,
abstractions and returns. Lamaload Reservoir (completed 1964) in the headwaters
of the catchment. |

A compound crump profile weir in a heavily urbanised catchment. |
Compound Crump profile weir, crest lengths 2.13m and 5.48m (total).
Contained to wing wall height (2.0m). Weir much wider than u/s channel. |
Big siltation problem, crest tapping usually blocked. Revised data from
start of record (1/1976) to 12/2008 loaded in 03/2010: new data are lower at
high flows and slightly higher at low flows; previous max GDF on 6/8/81 reduced
from 12.2 to 8.7 m3s-1. | Peak in flow on 14 August 2014 is thought to be
overestimated due to weed growth. | Very flat catchment, heavily urbanised
although the bottom end is rural. Solid geology is Keuper Marl (70%) and
sandstone (30%); south western portion Boulder Clay covered. Soils fine red
loams or clays. | Responsive regime. Storm waters from Wythenshaw, Sale
and the M56 are directed to the Mersey. |

Crump weir located on the Etherow, just upstream of the confluence with the
Goyt. Half of the catchment drains through Longendale reservoirs, with a
significant effect on the flow regime. | A single crest Crump weir opened
March 1969; 18m wide, wing walls 2.8m high, located 0.5km upstream of Goyt
confluence. | Station further contained by flood banks, but there is a low
point on the right bank just upstream of the structure at approx 2.2m. Crest
tapping readings were used to establish a non-modular rating; tapping no longer
used due to stones lodged in pressure tapping points. A downstream recorder was
installed in October 2006 to investigate drowning. Event in February 2011
removed shoal downstream and appears that onset of drowning is now at a higher
stage. More gaugings needed to confirm. No cableway. High flow gaugings have
been taken by current meter from the road bridge upstream and from late 2004
have been taken by ADCP immediately upstream of the weir, within the retaining
walls. One peak flow rating applied across period of record based on gaugings,
with top-end based on modelling. | | The River Etherow rises on the
Pennine watershed above Longdendale. Geology comprises mostly Millstone Grit,
and Boulder Clay in the lower catchment with peat covered moorland in the
headwaters. Steeper slopes are drift free. A predominantly rural catchment in
the headwaters with mixed urban and farmland in the lower reaches. Market towns
of Glossop and Chapel-en-le-Frith provide some urban runoff. No catchment
changes known. | Half the catchment drains through Longdendale reservoirs,
used for public water supply, with significant effect upon flows (e.g. drops in
flow in Nov and Dec 2021). |

Compound Crump weir draining a Pennine catchment with flows affected by
upstream reservoirs. | Compound Crump weir opened March 1969, 19m wide
overall with centre crest 7 m wide flanked by two crests 5.5 m wide and 0.40 m
higher; divide piers are 0.4 m wide. Wing walls 2.9m, divide piers 2.1m
high. | All flows are contained within the structure. High flows have been
gauged from a bridge upstream by handline. The weir has a bypass sluice for
maintenance. Considerable debris, including trees, may be trapped on the divide
piers at high flows; debris was observed to raise levels during the September
and early October 2008 events (shown in station photographs and by the
upstream/downstream stage relationship). Theoretical rating considered good in
low flow crest below 0.5m but is consistently 20% less than gaugings above this;
downstream recorder, installed 8/2006, confirms drowning a little below 1.5m.
One peak flow rating applied across period of record, based on gaugings, with
modelled top-end. Recent high gaugings by ADCP confirm earlier current metering.
More high flow gaugings needed. | Gauged daily flow data for 1969 and 1970
are of lower quality and are missing from 1971-1975 because of system failure.
Peak flows: the event in 1973 is also the highest on record at Brinksway
(downstream of the confluence with the Tame and Etherow), but the level at
Marple Bridge could have been affected by debris, and there is a vague report
about a canal breach at the time. Pumping into Todd Brook (max. rate 5 cumecs)
to drain Toddbrook Reservoir during emergency repairs began 1/08/2019 and
continued until end Sept. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). Exceptionally low flows in summer
2023. | Catchment rises in the Pennines. Geology comprises Millstone Grit
and Boulder Clay in the lower catchment with peat covered steeper slopes in the
headwaters, including Kinder Scout. A predominantly rural catchment, with small
industrial towns in the main valley. No catchment changes known. | Several
reservoirs in catchment - Kinder, Combs, Todd Brook, Errwood and Fernilee -
control approximately 32% of catchment in total. Moderate disturbance to flow
regime. |

Critical depth trapezoidal flume in artificial channel. Station closed
2001. | Critical depth trapezoidal flume in artificial channel: throat
width 0.6m, side slopes 1:2, structure full at 2.43m, flood banks at 3.13m.
Station opened 1969 and closed April 2001. | Flows fully contained. Twin
box culvert 110m d/s with grids which are prone to blocking during floods,
drowning the flume. One theoretical peak flow rating applied across period of
record. Data quality poor. | Station not operational between December 1985
and June 1993. The AMAX for 2000-2001 occurs on the same day as those on
surrounding stations, so is retained despite the station closure in this water
year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September
2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Generally low relief catchment to the NW of
Manchester. Solid geology is predominantly Coal Measures with Permo-Triassic
S'sts to the South, extensively covered by Boulder Clay. Urban areas cover
approximately half, otherwise poor pasture and heathland and small area of
woodland. Dense motorway network includes the M61, M62, M63, M602. No catchment
changes known. | No major industrial or sewage discharges upstream of
station. Several of the smaller tributaries have private impounding reservoirs
originally devised for colliery and industrial supplies; these are of negligible
area. |

A non-standard short crested weir in rectangular concrete channel in heavily
urbanised catchment. | A non-standard short crested weir 8.5m wide with
sloping downstream face. Weir located in a rectangular concrete channel with
vertical walls, upstream of a large culvert. Although the station was
operational from April 1969, works were not completed until Sept 1969. |
Debris collects on the weir in this urban environment. Some siltation around
the inlet pipe. No bypassing. Modelling suggests weir drowns at the highest
flows. From 1989-1992 construction of the Mancunian Way (motorway) significantly
altered the river channel downstream of the gauging station. The channel was
narrowed and wooden crest blocks were attached to the weir to create a low flow
notch. They proved unsuccessful and were removed in October 1992. Access is
difficult and gauging hazardous, current meter gaugings above low flows are
taken from an upstream bridge. Peak flow rating based on gaugings at low flows,
with modelled extrapolation, more gaugings are needed. All gaugings are now
carried out at Palmerston Street which is approximately half a kilometre
upstream. Multiple peak flow ratings apply over the period of record. Pressure
sensor in river. | Peak flow data are rejected during motorway
construction due to large fluctuations in stage (Oct 1989 to Aug 1992). Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | A heavily urbanised and industrial catchment extending into
parts of Manchester and the southerly Pennine hills. Geology consists of coal
measures overlain with post glacial soils. No catchment changes known. |
Some runoff from artificial surfaces. Greatly affected by effluent
discharges. |

Velocity area station with non-standard shallow V weir in urbanised
catchment. | Opened January 1996 as velocity area station with
non-standard shallow V weir. Station replaced Stubbins (69040), 2km
downstream. | Weir drowns at approximately 0.55m. Reliable gaugings by
wading at low flows only; bridge gaugings upstream are unreliable due to the
nature of the bridge and inflows from River Ogden. A cableway was added in 2002.
Two peak flow ratings across period of record derived from low flow current
meter gaugings and high flow ADCP gaugings off the cableway. Upper segments of
the rating are based on hydraulic modelling. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |

Broad-crested curved mill weir with some control in the catchment by water
supply reservoirs. | Station opened 1949 on broad-crested curved mill
weir, 24m wide, with damaged crest. | No bypassing. Weir can be affected
by debris. Minor siltation problems affected the inlet pipe pre-1984. Cableway
installed in late 1990s but high flows previously gauged, with less accuracy,
from road bridge 0.5 km upstream. Some backing-up from Irwell confluence about
730m downstream. Downstream level recorder added September 2006. Weir was
completely drowned during the gaugings taken over the peak event in January 2008
- see station photos. One rating applied for peak flows across period of record
from 1949, based on gaugings and hydraulic modelling of top end, notwithstanding
doubts about state of weir in earlier years. Rating, including upper limb from
model, is good fit to gaugings. Flood Studies Report grade C. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | Geology mostly Coal Measures within Millstone Grit to the
Northeast and Northwest. Peat overlays geology in moorland hilltops; mixed
glacial drift in the lower catchment. Catchment is highly urbanised and contains
Rochdale and Heywood. No catchment changes known. | A dozen small
water-supply reservoirs in headwaters control a total of 16% of the catchment
area. |

Non-standard broad-crested weir gauging a highly urbanised and industrial
catchment. | Station opened December 1948 on a non-standard broad-crested
mill weir 45m wide and 2.9 m long, with long downstream slope. Bend and island
immediately upstream of weir. Island is maintained to prevent encroachment onto
weir. | The weir is in good condition but is insensitive especially at low
flows. Very high flows may bypass station on the inside of the loop, but no
bypassing observed in 15/16 floods. Cableway was installed in June 2000.
Backwater unlikely - confluence with River Irwell is approx 1.5km downstream,
and weir is approx 2.6m above downstream bed. One peak flow rating applied
across period of record. Scatter at low flows is thought to be at least partly
due to differences in the location and method of spot gauging at different
periods. Pressure sensor installed in river following 15/16 floods. | Peak
flow record begins in 1948, but no digitised daily mean flows before 1976. Wrack
mark after winter 15/16 floods at 1.8m. No high flow gaugings historically, some
around QMED now taken by ADCP. | Geology of Millstone Grit overlain with
peat moorland in headwaters, with Boulder Clay and coal measures in the urban
lower parts. A highly urbanised and industrialised catchment which includes
Bolton. | Several reservoirs in headwaters, particularly on the Bradshaw
Brook tributary, controlling 27% of the catchment. Many effluent discharges
lower down. |

Velocity-area station located in Salford, used in conjunction with Adelphi
Weir downstream. | An open channel section in urban Salford, primarily for
flood forecasting. Used in conjunction with Adelphi Weir (69002) approx 2km
downstream which has a very similar catchment area. Opened 1941. | All
records in stage. Suffers severe weed growth in the summer months - poor at low
flows - mean daily flows are not presented - see 69002. Subsequent flood
alleviation works included (in order of construction) wall-raising, increase in
channel conveyance between Manchester Racecourse and Adelphi Weir, and
increasing channel conveyance downstream of Adelphi Weir (channel widening and
cutting a new channel, water first flowed in September 1970). Scheme works thus
changed the stage / discharge relationship at Manchester Racecourse. A second
flood alleviation scheme was constructed in 2000, consisting of a flood storage
basin in Salford upstream from Manchester Racecourse, and minor improvements to
the defence heights. In the January 2008 event water just began to spill into
the basin, but did not significantly reduce flows at Manchester Racecourse. One
peak flow rating applied across period of record. Ratings at both Manchester
Racecourse and Adelphi Weir were developed from flow gaugings taken in the
1970's (ie post flood alleviation scheme). Rating fits well to available
gaugings up to ~3.5m. Further modelling and high-flow gauging required to
confirm the rating. Gaugings considered to be more reliable after the Manchester
Racecourse cableway was renovated in June 1978. Later gaugings taken from
footbridge between the two stations. Although there were no high flow gaugings
to derive the rating, a check gauging on the rising limb of the October 1980
event at 265 m3/s and approx 2.05m at Adelphi Weir supports the ratings. The
January 2008 event (416 m3/s at Manchester Racecourse from the rating) was
recorded at approx 375m3/s at the new ultrasonic station at Kearsley upstream
(difference in catchment area approx 8%). | Station opened in 1941, some
gaps and poor records until 1990 when POT record starts. The Environment Agency
hold data from 1976. A single combined AMAX series for 69025 and 69002 is held
under 69025 (derived by detailed comparison and analysis of the records from
both stations, using the more reliable station for each AMAX event, but checked
against the other station). Both stations have had problems at various times,
but at least one station appears reasonably reliable for each AMAX for the
period presented. AMAX from 1935 to 1940 are not presented as the Adelphi Weir
record had some anomalies and Manchester Racecourse was not yet open. AMAX from
1950 to 1963 are entirely from Adelphi Weir - the annual maxima appear reliable,
though the record from Manchester Racecourse is missing. Major flooding in
Salford in September 1946, with some limited spill around the station. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | The catchment has steep valleys cut into the moors in the
upper reaches. The high ground is made up of peat and the valleys consist of
sands and gravels. Permo-Triassic sandstones in the south-west with coal
measures, grits and sandstones of the Carboniferous series to the north and west
overlain by postglacial drift deposits. Considerable urban and industrial land
use in the lower sections, including the towns of Bolton, Bury, Rochdale and
parts of Manchester. No catchment changes known. | Many abstractions and
storage reservoirs. Flood basins upstream of Manchester Racecourse attenuate
peak flows - Littleton Road (completed prior to Jan 2008 flood) and Castle
Irwell (completed 2017). |

Open channel rated flow site. Brick station building on left bank of the
Irwell at Kearsley housing a Seba electric winch for flow gauging. |
Commissioned November 2002 to facilitate the operation of Littleton Road
storage basin a further 8km downstream of the station in Salford. Originally
level only, ultrasonics were installed to provide flow data for FCRM.
Ultrasonics are no longer operational and flow data from the site has been
re-processed using rating curves. | Flow ratings produced based on a
combination of now defunct ultrasonic stage / flow pairs and gaugings together
with modelled high flows above stages of 4m (level of maximum gauging). Two
ratings across period of record, before and after the December 2015 high flows
that significantly changed the bed geometry. | First year of data is
2008. | Largely rural / farmland in upper reaches then becoming more urban
through lower reaches upstream of station. | |

Curved masonry weir topped with a thin plate draining a heavily urbanised
lower catchment. | Station opened in 1943 on an old masonry curved weir
topped by a thin plate, 21m wide. Located just downstream of 90 degree bend and
2km upstream of Goyt confluence. Station is downstream of Broomstairs Bridge
(69041). | Drop of 5m over the crest, so no drowning at high flows. The
weir is flanked by vertical side walls with a steep left bank which prevents
bypassing. The right bank is lower, though bypassing is unlikely at the flows
recorded. Gravel shoaling occurs at the base of the weir, extending 20m
downstream. An old mill cut was closed in 1967 so that the entire flow now
passes over the weir. Flow to the old mill (ie. before January 1967) was
probably only a small percentage of flood flows, but some uncertainty as no data
to confirm. Records from 1943; a model-based calibration was used before being
superseded by one based on current metering in 1970. Gaugings carried out from
footbridge downstream of weir. Coping stone removed in the flood of Nov-2000
affecting low flow rating. Recent rating reviews and use of hydraulic model
increased confidence in flow estimates. Flood Studies Report grade B. |
Revised daily flow data from start of record (1/1970) to 10/73 loaded in
2009 due to new rating that has greatly reduced the high flows: previous max GDF
on 21/2/70 reduced from 137.9 to 34.9 m3s-1. Full re-rated daily flow record
loaded in Oct 2011: main change is reduction in low flows of up to about 20%
over 2001-09. Peak flows are excluded for the period March 1946 to late March
1952. There is a gap in the record from March 1946 to March 1948, and the charts
from March 1948 to March 1952 appear unreliable, with truncated peaks. This
truncation may have been caused by siltation, although this is not now regarded
as a problem. After re-rating at both stations, most peak flows are now
comparable with Broomstairs upstream (although Portwood AMAX still lower on
06/07/2012 and 29/07/2019). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | For the most part a
narrow, steep sided valley network on Millstone Grit with peat moorland in upper
reaches (includes Saddleworth Moor). Underlying geology of Coal Measures and
Permian sandstones and mudstones overlain by Boulder Clay lower down. Sheep
grazing in the headwaters; lower catchment heavily urbanised (east Manchester).
No catchment changes known. | Low flows dominated by effluent returns.
Many impoundments in the upper reaches control 25% of the catchment in total.
The largest of these are Dovestone and Chew Reservoirs on the Chew Brook
(draining Saddleworth Moor), which alone control 15% of the catchment. |

Velocity-area station in Stockport. | Velocity-area station in
Stockport opened in 1955. Immediately downstream of a bridge. Station is
downstream of the confluences of the Goyt, Etherow, and Tame. Primarily a high
flow site operationally, due to the insensitive nature of low flow open channel
control. Station used for flood forecasting and warnings, data used for
management of flood storage basins at Didsbury Gates and Sale Ees Gates. |
A gravel bar and associated mid-channel bar downstream act as control at
most flows, with a small drop at Cheadle Weir (an old mill weir) approx 130m
downstream of the station. All flows contained. Some occasional blockage of the
inlet pipe, thought not to reduce flow estimates significantly. Rating developed
from gaugings and hydraulic model. The top 3 limbs of the current rating have
been applied over period of record. Some changes are likely to have occurred to
the rating over time due to deposition (e.g. after the December 1991 event) and
vegetation growth. No high flow gaugings historically, some around QMED now
taken by ADCP. | The highest event, in 1973, corresponds with the only
known flooding in Stockport from the Mersey. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Upper
catchment in the Pennine hills. Geology comprises mostly peat-covered Millstone
Grit in the headwaters, Coal Measures, and Boulder Clay in the lower catchment.
Catchment includes towns such as Glossop and Chapel-en-le-Frith upstream, with
parts of Greater Manchester, including Stockport and Tameside lower down. The
lower catchment has mixed farmland, urban and industry. | Major reservoirs
upstream - the Longendale Chain (plus Arnfield) on the Etherow, and Fernilee and
Errwood reservoirs on the Goyt. Errwood Reservoir was completed in 1967. All
other major reservoirs were built before the station was opened in 1955. |

Velocity area station in low-lying catchment containing some large urban
areas. | Velocity-area station opened 1953. A trench-piled bed control and
stone pitched left bank that was built in July 1983 acts as a weir up to 0.35m,
above which it drowns. | The channel bed is laden with stones and
boulders. The highest flows are above bankfull, at 2.66 m on the right bank, but
with the possibility of bypassing upstream before this. Susceptible to siltation
and weed growth. Backwater problems from sluice operation ceased with closure of
adjacent canal in 1976. Rating affected by land drainage improvement works
downstream in 1976 and 1977. Subsequent channel regrading required frequent
recalibration between 1977 and 1983, and a significant change occurred from the
high flows of spring 1981. Multiple ratings applied across period of record. Few
spot gaugings at high flows, some scatter. Gauging on 26/09/2012 carried out at
Alder Roadbridge upstream of the spill/bypass. | Revised daily flow data
from start of record (1/1977) to 9/2006 loaded in 10/2009: flows from 17/6/1977
to 30/8/1977 increased by approx 2.5 times. Previous max GDF on 28/12/1978
reduced from 38.5 to 28.9 cumecs, other differences generally minor. Peak flows
rejected until July 1983 when the control stabilised the rating. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | A low lying catchment of gentle relief. Coal Measures within the
North overlain by sand and peat; Sherwood Sandstone in the South, overlain by
Boulder Clay. Mixed farmland predominates but contains urban areas, including St
Helens in the centre. Possible that there was a small increase in catchment area
in late 1980s or very early 1990s with diversion of a ditch crossing Sankey
Valley Park to join Sankey Brook upstream of the gauging station. |
Several small lakes (e.g. Newton Lake) and meres. Industrial abstraction and
effluent. |

Open channel, velocity area station with non-standard shallow V bed control
which drowns at a low level. | A non-standard shallow V bed control (side
slopes 1:20) opened in September 1977. This superseded an open channel, velocity
area station (1963) which suffered from erosion and deposition of silt. There is
a broad-crested weir 800m d/s. | The weir drowns at a low level and all
high flows are measured under drowned conditions. No bypassing reported.
Siltation may cause inlet pipe blockage and lag between stilling well and river
level. Transducer (PTX) in-river from 26 Nov 1998 to 24 Nov 2003 and installed
in c2015 as comparison with stilling well record. Gaugings taken from upstream
footbridge using bridge gauging equipment or an ADCP. Separate peak flow ratings
apply before and after the construction of the weir in 1977, and there is a good
fit to gaugings in both periods, although no pre-weir gaugings were taken during
high flows. | Gap in data 1/4/1986 to 30/10/1986 while station repaired
after vandalism. Record from open channel station (i.e. before weir was built in
1977) of unknown quality due to silt deposition and removal and lack of high
flow gaugings. AMAX and POT data are therefore excluded from analysis pre-1977.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7). Missing data in November 2022 due to blockage of stilling
well inlet pipe affecting primary and backup measurement. | Very flat
catchment; boundary on SW side difficult to define. Geology mostly of blown sand
deposits with Boulder Clay over Sherwood Sandstone. Highly urbanised, containing
parts of north Liverpool and Kirkby. No significant catchment changes. |
Industrial abstractions and discharges. Large sewage treatment works
upstream at Fazakerley can cause fluctuations in daily mean flows. |

Ultrasonic multi cross path station which replaced the downstream site of
Howley, upgraded to velocity index in 2017. | Ultrasonic, multipath, cross
path station replacing an earlier unsatisfactory site at Howley (1.5km d/s).
Numerous equipment faults, failed 2015 and replaced by index velocity sidelooker
in Nov 2017. | Experiences abstraction, augmentation, tidal influence and
regulation. Runoff probably substantially modified, at least temporally. |
Limited reliability of ultrasonics, significant gaps in flow record. Out of
use 27/02/2007 to 25/06/2008 whilst being upgraded. Equipment failure 19/11/2008
to 18/03/2009, 20/04/2010 to 26/08/2012 and ultimately 19/04/2015. Anomalous and
missing data in 2013 due to repair works on Manchester Ship Canal. Sidelooker
installed Nov 2017, some gaps when affected by weed (e.g. May to Sept 2018).
Positioned lower in the water for 2019. Anomaly around 01/06/2020 due to repairs
at Howley weir sluices. Data not held from 17/03/2022 to 30/09/2022 because of
the impact of instrument failures and sluice management on data quality. Outage
from 10/06/2023 to 26/07/2023 due to lightning. | Large catchment
containing much of Manchester. The main tributaries arise on peat moorlands to W
and N of Manchester. High ground mostly Millstone Grit or Coal Measures. The
centre and south of the catchment is underlain by Sherwood Sandstones and Mercia
mudstones blanketed by Boulder Clay, terrace gravels and lowland peat. Diverse
catchment, extensively urbanised. | Flow comprises Ship Canal overflow
only; flows need to be combined with an ultrasonic site on the Ship Canal at
Latchford, Warrington, available from the Environment Agency. Latchford flows
understood to be of good quality although the record is short (1997-2002) and no

Ultrasonic station from 1995, with mill weir. Flow regime dominated by
effluents at low flows and by impoundments in the upper reaches across the
regime. | Broomstairs Bridge station opened June 1968 but was a poor site
due to under-mining of the timber capping on the weir, which prevented an
accurate stage-discharge relationship. The weir deteriorated over time and
completely failed in August 2004. An ultrasonic multi-path gauge (Broomstairs
ultrasonic) was installed in February 1995 until it was switched off for good in
March 2017. Weed growth was a problem in the ultrasonic section during the
summer which required regular maintenance and lead to regular path and flow drop
outs. There is very little growth in the section immediately u/s of the weir.
Works began in April 2010 and finished in July 2010 to install a stainless steel
non-standard thin plate with a low flow rectangular notch which also included
extensive repair work to the downstream face of the structure. | No
bypassing, as all flows are through the bridge immediately upstream from which
gaugings are made. Three peak flow rating accross the period based on current
meter gaugings at low flows, from the bridge using a handline with a light
weight (so may over-estimate) at medium flows and, model and ultrasonic flows at
higher flows. Ultrasonic from Feb 1995. Flows from rating at Broomstairs Bridge
to February 1995, from ultrasonic station thereafter. Some early problems with
the ultrasonic station mean POT data have been checked and amended using the
rating. Performance of the ultrasonics remains under review in relation to the
highest flows. Rated and ultrasonic flows have been compared over the common
period of record, and with Portwood downstream (69027). Both stations currently
open, Broomstairs Bridge as levels-only. | Daily mean flows pre-ultrasonic
record are poor. Erroneous daily flow data July and August 2006 removed. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). After re-rating at both stations, most peak flows are now comparable
with Portwood downstream (although Broomstairs AMAX still higher on 06/07/2012
and 28/07/2019). Timing of WY22/23 AMAX validated despite outage from 27/06/2023
- 04/08/2023. | Geology of Millstone Grit and Coal Measures with peat
cover on high moors. Steeper valley sides drift free, otherwise mixed glacial
drift cover. Catchment drains the northern Peak District moors, including
Saddleworth Moor but is heavily urbanised in the lower reaches, which include
parts of Greater Manchester. No significant catchment changes. | Low flows
dominated by effluents. Many impoundments in the upper reaches control 33% of
the catchment in total. The largest of these are Dovestone and Chew Reservoirs
on the Chew Brook (draining Saddleworth Moor), which alone control 20% of the
catchment. |

catchment. | Curved non-standard round-nosed broad-crested weir, 2m high,
at the end of a formalised brick-walled reach. Opened April 1995 to replace
Scotland Weir (69003). | Stilling well with shaft encoders. External
pressure sensor in river. Weir is insensitive but better than Scotland Weir.
Gaugings carried out using a hand-line since 1985 (before station opened); no
room for a cableway for high flow gaugings. Two peak flow ratings applied across
period of record developed from current meter gaugings since 04/10/1995, with
modelled top-end. Algal growth up to 5cm deep can occur on weir crest. |
Water year 1994/1995 rejected as the AMAX is from the partial water year at
the start of the record. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). Outstation failure 14-15 January
2023, no backup available. | Solid geology; Coal Measures in the
headwaters with Sherwood Sandstone and Permian marls in the lower catchment.
Catchment entirely overlain by Boulder Clay and sands and gravels. The river
rises in open moorland before entering the densely populated and urbanised Lower
Irk catchment, which includes Oldham and Manchester. No catchment changes
known. | Many industrial abstractions and discharges and one small
reservoir upstream. |

Velocity area station with broad-crested weir as control. Replaced Bury
Bridge (69035) in 1995. | Velocity area station, 22m wide section with
good approach, opened November 1995 with a pre-existing curved broad-crested
mill weir as the control. Replaced Bury Bridge (69035), 1.5km downstream;
Kirkless Brook enters between the two stations. Bury Bridge and Bury Grounds
overlapped from November 1995 to March 1998, and included high flows in November
1996. Stages are closely correlated. | The curved weir is 28m wide, crest
is in poor condition. Weir doesn't drown due to 3m drop over crest. The inlet
pipe was extended to prevent silt blockage, and the level re-surveyed. Level
readings prior to August 1998 were then lowered by 0.022m to make them
consistent with later records. High flow gaugings carried out by cableway. A
stage-stage relationship was derived to generate equivalent stages at Bury
Grounds for the period of record at Bury Bridge, and the present Bury Grounds
rating applied. One peak flow rating applied across period of record, derived
from current meter gaugings. | POT and AMAX data are presented for Bury
Grounds including the period of record at Bury Bridge. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Geology is post-glacial deposits over predominantly Millstone Grit, with
some Coal Measures. A moderately urbanised catchment with steep moorland
headwaters in the south Pennines; includes urban areas of Bury and Rawtenstall.
No catchment changes known. | Runoff influenced by storage reservoirs
(Haslingden Grane system and Ogden, Clowbridge), abstractions and effluent
returns. |

Flat V weir station installed 19/09/2000 as a replacement for 69006 Bollin
at Dunham Massey flow measurement station. Flows are combined main, mill race
and fish pass since 2009. | The control is an 11.6m wide BS Flat V weir
tapered downstream face. Original mill race takes approx. 10% of flows and
Larinier fish pass (installed in 2009 with non-standard Crump on intake),
approx. 25% of flow at low flows. Station added to peak flows dataset in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Flows contained and modular to bank full at 2m.
Mill race on right bank has been present since the station was opened and takes
approximately 10% of flow under low flow conditions. The thin plate weir at the
entrance of the mill race regularly becomes blocked with debris, this needs
regular maintenance. Flows for the mill race account for roughly 10% of the main
river when the thin plate is working, above 0.5m the structure is acting as an
orifice and the % of flow going down the mill race reduced. A Nivus PCM4 bed
mounted sensor was installed in October 2009 and has provided useful information
on the characteristics of the Mill Race in high flow conditions. The mill race
backs up from the main channel at levels above 0.8m at the main weir meaning
that flows are restricted to around 1.25m3/s. Pre-2009, flows were calculated
using the sum of the flat V weir for the main channel, and the thin plate for
the Mill race. In 2009 a Larinier fish pass was constructed on the left bank
approximately 40m upstream of the station which takes approximately 25% of the
flow at Q95, but accuracy of measurement at intake Crump was compromised during
construction. | The NRFA holds the combined record (main channel, mill
race and fish pass), which has been produced since 19/11/2009. EA hold earlier
data for the main channel. | Mixed geology but with extensive Drift cover
(some Millstone Grit exposed in headwaters). Land use is very mixed - a
predominantly rural catchment but with Macclesfield below the headwaters and
other urban centres. Reservoirs and many industrial abstractions and discharges
affect low flows particularly. | Very responsive regime. Reservoirs and
many industrial abstractions and discharges affect low flows particularly. |

Short-crested weir gauging a predominantly Millstone Grit catchment with
urban lower reaches. | Station opened August 2000 on an existing
industrial short-crested weir under a bridge on a slight bend with long straight
approach channel. | Station not bypassed and thought not to drown. The
higher flows have been gauged off a bridge upstream. Three peak flow ratings
applied across period of record based on current meter gaugings and ADCP
gaugings. Rating extrapolated beyond highest gauging using velocity
extrapolation method. | No data after 01/08/2022 pending instrument
replacement. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Geology of Millstone Grit overlain
with peat moorland in headwaters, with Boulder Clay and coal measures in the
urban lower parts. No catchment changes known. | Station is just
downstream of the Bradshaw Valley Reservoir system of Entwhistle, Wayoh, and
Jumbles for water supply and compensation. |

Velocity area station on long straight engineered channel reach. |
Velocity area station opened December 1993 as a level-only station with no
formal control. The channel has been engineered both upstream and downstream of
the station giving a long, straight profile. | History of bed movement
affecting whole flow range, but not thought to change the high flow regime by
more than the criteria for acceptance in the NRFA Peak Flow data holdings. A
flood alleviation scheme in 2003 dredged the channel and erected new flood
walls. The gradient of the bed is quite steep, leading to high velocities. A
large shoal upstream of the bridge was identified after the high flows
experienced in late 2009, and was subsequently removed. Two peak flow ratings
across period of record derived using low flow current meter gaugings and high
flow ADCP gaugings. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). Gauged daily flows from 13/05/2023
to 01/09/2023 are affected by silting of the stilling well. | Geology
mostly Coal Measures within Millstone Grit to the Northeast and Northwest. Peat
overlays geology in moorland hilltops; mixed glacial drift in the lower
catchment. No catchment changes known. | Some small reservoirs, including
Blackstone Edge. |

Non-standard weir draining catchment consisting of Millstone Grit and Coal
Measures. | Station opened in July 1968 on an existing non-standard weir
with a low, sharp metalwork crest and gradual downstream stone slope. Used for
abstraction licence management and flood warning. | Station has a stilling
well with shaft encoder. Higher flows may spill onto a sports field on the left
bank. Gaugings were not initiated until 2002. Peak flow rating derived using low
flow current meter gaugings and high flow ADCP gaugings with modelled top
end. | Re-rated period of record released in September 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10) and September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). Both WY1997/1998 and WY2017/2018 are
rejected due to substantial under-estimation of the true AMAX. | Geology
of Millstone Grit and Coal Measures with peat cover on high moors. Steeper
valley sides drift free, otherwise mixed glacial drift cover. No catchment

Non-standard broad-crested weir on artificial channel. Many small reservoirs
in the catchment influence the flow regime. | Station opened February 1993
on a non-standard, round-nosed broad-crested weir 12.2m wide with crest length
of 1.25m and sloping downstream face. Side walls on approach 3.4m high. Situated
on a reach of artificial channel. | There is a drop of several metres at
the weir so will not drown. No bypassing. There is no cableway, and gaugings are
taken upstream at Oaken Road footbridge. One peak flow rating applied across
period of record confirmed by gaugings and hydraulic modelling. Primary level
measurement by pressure sensor in stilling well superseded by external radar in
June 2024. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | The upper catchment is peat-covered
moorland, consisting mostly of coal measures and Millstone Grit. The lower part
of the catchment is highly urbanised and contains Rochdale. No catchment changes
known. | Many small reservoirs in headwaters, controlling less than 25% of
catchment. |

Ultrasonic station with weir. Flow regime affected by headwater reservoirs
which divert flow. | Station opened in 1969 as velocity-area station with
bed control. Non-standard shallow V weir installed in 1984. Station affected by
tides so ultrasonics added in 1996. | Installation of the weir in 1984
stabilised the control at low flows, but the weir is still drowned by tides.
Scatter in gaugings is so large that peak flows are only presented since 1996.
High flow gaugings are taken from a road bridge upstream or with portable
cableway, or using an ADCP at the station. Rating also affected by weed growth
downstream. Bypassing prevented by road embankments. Flood Studies Report grade
B. | Peak flow data from the ultrasonic are thought to be acceptable.
Pre-1996, peak flows are less reliable and are not presented. During the
2012/2013 AMAX event it is suspected a tree was blocking two ultrasonic paths.
During the 2015/2016 AMAX event it is suspected there was a fault with half the
ultrasonic paths. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). No flows after 26/06/2020 due to telemetry
problem. | Moderate to low relief catchment. Geology is Boulder Clay, peat
and blown sand, underlain by Coal Measures in upper parts and Permo-Triassic
sandstones lower down. Land-use predominantly rural; urban areas include Wigan
and Skelmersdale. No significant catchment changes. | Flow regime and
effective catchment modified by the Integrated Complex of eight reservoirs at
Rivington which divert flow from the natural catchment of the River Yarrow to
River Douglas. Wigan Flood Control Scheme (catchment area ~67.3km2) has
restricted flows since March 2011. |

Ultrasonic station (from end Feb 1995) with earlier flows using levels and
rating for Central Park Wigan. Flow regime affected by reservoirs. |
Original station, Central Park, Wigan was a velocity-area station opened
1973 in rectangular channel with pipe as low-flow control. Variable bed profile
(silt, debris and redistribution) gave poor data. In 1995 an ultrasonic gauge
was installed with four transducers (cross-path at two heights) under a
footbridge approx. 100m downstream. Dual running from 1995 until December 1999
when consolidated at ultrasonic site and station renamed as Wigan. More
transducers at higher levels added May/June 2012. Station photos provided show
the ultrasonic station. Ultrasonic flows are only produced up to a stage of
1.53m, beyond this modelled flow data is used due to obstruction caused by
footbridge soffit. | No bypassing reported. Check gaugings suggest the
ultrasonic station may under-estimate the higher flows. Wigan Flood Alleviation
Scheme (approx 750m upstream of the gauging station) was finally completed
around November 2011. The scheme has two large hydrobrake devices which restrict
outlet flows through the hydrobrakes to around 20 cumecs. Peak flow ratings and
derivation of flows reflect the changes at the station. | Flow events are
generally affected by the two hydrobrakes in the Wigan Flood Alleviation Scheme.
However, the December 2015 event filled the reservoir and flowed over the
embankment spillway. Peak flow data from water year 2011/12 are rejected as
unrepresentative due to the effect of the flood alleviation scheme on flows.
Gaps in data June 2020 and April 2023 due to equipment faults. | Moderate
relief catchment. Geology is Coal Measures wholly blanketed by Boulder Clay.
Land use mostly rural with some urban development. No significant catchment
changes. | Flow regime and effective catchment significantly modified by
the Integrated complex of eight reservoirs at Rivington which diverts flow from
the Yarrow headwaters to the River Douglas. |

Velocity area station with old diagonal mill weir control and fish pass.
Some influence of Rivington reservoirs on the flow regime. | Velocity area
station since 1973. Control is an old diagonal mill weir, with crest 10 m wide
and 3 m long. | Insensitive at low flows but gives reasonable data for
medium to high flows. Weir susceptible to mud build-up and erosion and capped in
July 2010. Hydraulic modelling shows that bridge downstream drowns the structure
at medium to high flows, causing bypassing upstream of weir at very high flows.
Photographs at 0.955m show hydraulic performance (approx 0.26m below stage at
which modelling suggests weir becomes drowned). No cableway, and high flow
gaugings difficult with ADCP. Three ratings applied across period of record, the
most recent is due to fish pass installation. Rating 05top and 6 are the same
above 1.421m, so there are two peak flow ratings (03top and 05top). Eel pass
installed in 2016. | Revised daily flow data from start of record (1/1976)
to 12/2007 loaded on 11/08/2009 due to new medium-high flow rating: biggest
effect is on the highest flows, e.g. previous max GDF on 22/08/1987 reduced from
69.1 to 36.5 cumecs. Minor effect below 8 cumecs, annual runoffs reduced
slightly, typically by 1%. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). Peak flow data from water year
2016/17 are rejected as unrepresentative due to the effect of the flood
alleviation scheme on flows. | Geology is principally Coal Measures with
subordinate Millstone Grit and Triassic sandstones. Wholly blanketed with
Boulder Clay and glacial sands and gravels. Land use mostly rural with some
urban area including Chorley. No significant catchment changes. | The
Rivington reservoir system captures the original Yarrow headwaters and diverts
flow to River Douglas. Compensation flows to the Yarrow of 7.1 Ml/d. Also some
limited spill from Upper Rivington Reservoir to the Yarrow during high flows,
and reservoir discharges may affect flows at other times (e.g. January 2023).
Catchment area of 74.4 km2 excludes portion now draining to Rivington
reservoirs. |

Velocity area station with shallow V control. | Velocity area station
opened 1974. A 3m wide shallow V sheet-piled control was constructed in February
1987. Since 01/01/2009 this has been a level-only station. | Bridge
downstream also acts as partial control. Bypassing has been reported. Site is
subject to tidal influence and weed growth, which led to the station downgrade.
A permanent cableway was installed to improve gauging at higher flows, but has
now been removed. Separate ratings for peak flows applied before and after
sheet-piled control in 1987. Current rating gauged to QMED. Two peak flow
ratings across period of record. | Low and medium flows are not generated.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Low relief catchment on Boulder Clay which blankets
Mercia Mustone, Sherwood Sandstone with Millstone Grit in the extreme east.
Isolated hill peat. Land use of mixed farming and substantial urban/suburban
development, including the town of Leyland, with many motorways traversing the
catchment. No significant catchment changes. | Low flows are heavily
influenced by a sewage treatment works at Leyland. |

Velocity area station; the most downstream on the Ribble, just upstream of
the tidal limit. | Velocity area station built in 1960. Cableway. An
additional station was built 1km upstream in October 1970 to measure low/medium
flows; a compound Flat V weir with flanking crests. This additional station
closed 1981 due to vandalism; subsequently re-opened July 1991 and closed again
February 2010. | Natural gravel shoal control affected by silt and summer
weed, just u/s of the tidal limit. No bypassing. Good high flow rating from
permanent cableway. Inlet blockage has been a continual problem, affecting many
peaks. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Works
downstream between 1993-95, required different low flow ratings applied before,
during, and after these works. | All data presented are for the velocity
area station, with some infilling from the additional station. December 2010
measurements affected by ice. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). Flows prior to 1973 datum change
thought to be overestimated and are rejected. | A large catchment of mixed
geology with Carboniferous Limestone, Millstone Grit and Coal Measures overlain
with Boulder Clay. Predominantly rural, apart from urban areas of Burnley and
Nelson. No significant catchment changes. | Some small reservoirs in the
catchment, but without significant impact on flow regime. |

study. | Non-standard compound trapezoidal flume with stainless steel low
flow throat in trapezoidal masonry section, 8.8m wide at flume full, 12.5m at
bank full. Station opened in June 1957 and installed for paired catchment study
with the wooded Bottoms Beck catchment nearby (station 71005). Crosdale
considered the more reliable of the two. Station closed November 1977 to
December 1982 and July 1989 to September 2003, with some gaps in the 1970s.
Closed for peak flows end September 2014 due to gravel accumulation. | All
flows in bank, and thought not to drown. To counter problems with sediment and
blocking of the inlet pipes, the station was installed with throat tappings and
two inlet pipes and stilling wells, with the traces plotted on the same graph to
aid identification of any problems. Additionally, a water flushing system was
installed in January 1967, though regular cleaning ceased around 1976-77. Early
charts showed flows directly, from theoretical rating. Croasdale Beck now has a
transducer (PTX) rather than the original two throat tappings and inlet pipes.
One rating applied to recent record based on gaugings (1980s and 2000s) to top
of concrete flume with hydraulic model (limited survey) to extend the rating.
Issues across the flow range arise from gravel accumulations creating
maintenance issues affecting the stilling well inlet pipes therefore producing
poor quality stage and flow data across the whole stage range. An external river
level sensor was installed in March 2018, which has improved the stage
measurement but the channel has not been dredged since 2014 so there are
significant gravel accumulations upstream of the weir and around the staff
gauge. | Daily flow data presented to 1974 and annual maxima to 2014,
though peak flows should be regarded as provisional - early charts need review,
and there are no high flow gaugings. Dates of flood events to 1977 are probably
water days. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Steep channel in a wet, high relief catchment.
Geology is half Carboniferous Limestone and half Millstone Grit, blanketed by
Boulder Clay. Mostly used for grazing. No catchment changes known. |
Natural catchment adjacent to Stocks reservoir. |

Compound broad-crested weir, insensitive at low flows. Gauges a
predominantly limestone catchment which drains the Yorkshire Dales. |
Compound broad-crested weir, low notch 3.8m wide, flanking crests each 10.3m
wide and 0.3m higher. Superseded, in August 1968, the original velocity area
station which had been opened in 1960 and a bed control added May 1965 to
improve calibration. | Weir drowns at high flows, and insensitive at low
flow due to its breadth. Algal build-up and leaks affect low flows. No bypassing
reported. Cableway until 1988 and from 1997. Single peak flow rating applied to
period of record from 1968 derived from current meter gaugings. Hydraulic model
used to extend beyond gauged range. | Peak flows are presented only from
the broad-crested weir, from 1968. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Geology mainly
Carboniferous Limestone overlain by Boulder Clay in valleys with intermittent
Millstone Grit. The northern half of the catchment lies in the Yorkshire Dales
National Park. Predominantly rural catchment with mixed farming and several
small towns; moorland in the upper catchment. No significant catchment
changes. | Largely natural runoff pattern. Minor abstractions and effluent
discharges. |

Flat V weir affected by subsidence in early record but stable since 1980.
Gauges a largely rural catchment with flows affected by numerous small
reservoirs. | Flat V weir 17m wide, constructed in 1971. Structure
movement on the right bank due to mining subsidence affected low flows to around
1980, but not considered to have affected high flows significantly. A cableway
was installed in 1996. | Weir drowns above 0.5m but no bypassing reported.
Rating has been adapted for mining subsidence and appears to have been stable
since 1980. The early high flow gaugings were carried out from a road bridge
upstream using a hand line; after detailed review, these were excluded from the
rating development due to the low sinker weight and turbulence in flow under the
bridge. Calibration by current meter at the site itself and by level correlation
with earlier site at Quakers-in-Pendle (71801; 1968-1973). Ratings derived from
current meter gauging with hydraulic model results for extreme flows. Three
daily flow ratings applied, to cover differences in low flows. Ratings are
identical for medium to high flows. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Geology
consists of Carboniferous series - mostly Millstone Grit, with limestone in the
north, and Coal Measures to the south-east. Peat moorland tops. A largely rural
catchment including Nelson and Colne. No significant catchment changes. |
Flows affected by many polluting discharges and numerous small
reservoirs. |

Flat V weir; the highest station on the Ribble. Natural regime. |
Station opened at Halton West 1km downstream in 1969. Replaced by a Flat V
weir at Arnford built October 1972. | Weir drowns at high flows. No
bypassing. Cableway until late 1990s. Hydrographs truncated and the growth curve
for this station is unusually low. This is thought to be due to storage just
upstream from Arnford at Long Preston Ings. Ratings derived from gaugings. Three
peak flow ratings applied over period of record. Separate ratings applied for
Halton West (pre-1972) and Arnford (post-1972) stations. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Long narrow catchment of Carboniferous Limestone with some
Millstone Grit overlain by Boulder Clay on the valley floor. A predominantly
moorland catchment rising to the summit of Pen-y-Ghent, draining part of
Yorkshire Dales National Park and Langstrothdale Chase. Includes Settle. No
significant catchment changes. | An almost entirely natural flow regime
with minor abstractions and discharges. |

Velocity area station gauging catchment with steep headwaters and urbanised
in lower reaches. | Open channel velocity area station opened in 1973. A
vertical concrete wall forms the left bank with a high natural bank on the
right. | Fixed stone bed downstream provides some control. Bed rough,
stony but stable, approach channel silty. No bypassing. No cableway. Multiple
ratings applied across period of record derived from current meter gauging, with
modelled top-end. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Steep headwater catchment,
particularly in the west, that drains north to the outskirts of Blackburn. Solid
geology of Millstone Grit and Coal Measures, with intermittent Boulder Clay,
hill peat and glacial gravel in main valley. Heavily urbanised at Darwen. No
significant catchment changes. | Small reservoirs in southwest. Station
affected by non-continuous abstractions and releases upstream. Compensation
flows are activated automatically. |

Velocity area station; some bypassing on both banks during extreme
events. | A rated velocity area station, opened 1974. Ultrasonics (4
cross-paths) from July 1997 until January 2014. | Main control is an old
mill weir 370m downstream, which was modified in 1974 into a V profile. During
extreme events the station is bypassed on the left and right banks - modelling
confirms that this is not a large percentage of the total flow. Uneven bed
profile can affect accuracy of low flows. Rating derived from gaugings,
supported by ultrasonics, with a modelled top-end. Historically high flow
gaugings were carried out from a footbridge just downstream of the site but are
now undertaken using an ADCP just upstream of the station. One rating applied to
period of record. A fish pass was installed at the downstream weir on 27th July
2020 leading to a significant drop in water levels at the gauging station. |
Ultrasonics (1997-2015) often cut out at the higher flows. Daily mean flows
not held after installation of fish pass on control weir (29/07/2020), pending
review of low flow rating. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Glacial clays and gravels
blanket Coal Measures and Millstone Grit with Sherwood Sandstone near the gauge.
Upper catchment almost wholly urbanised (Blackburn, Darwen); agricultural in
lower half. No significant catchment changes. | Low flows heavily
influenced by effluent discharges. |

Flat V weir on tidally affected reach of the River Wyre. Flood flows
truncated by upstream storage basins. | Station opened as a velocity area
station with cableway in September 1962. Despite inclusion of artificial bed
control, low flow calibration found insensitive and additional station built in
1969. The additional station is a truncated Flat V weir (19.4m wide, with 1:2
u/s & d/s slopes, and 1:20 cross-slopes) built 500m downstream in December
1969. Both stations operated until February 1981. | Gaugings were carried
out at the velocity area station until February 1981 and a cableway was
installed at the Flat V station in mid 1990s. Tidally affected, particularly at
spring tides, drowning weir. Raised banks prevent bypassing except for major
events. Flood levee work in the 1980s is believed to have increased the channel
capacity. Multiple ratings applied across POR, the most recent is valid from
Sept-2011 with introduction of Flat V weir, derived from gaugings. | Peak
flow data are from the velocity area station to end 1969, and Flat V thereafter.
The largest event in the record was on 26/27 October 1980, which flooded around
5000 acres, with breaches in the embankments upstream of the gauging stations.
Because of problems in the recording of the October 1980 event, the flow is an
estimate but one which reflects the limited capacity of the river channel and
the extensive floodplains upstream. Damage in this event probably affected peak
flows immediately afterwards. When the flood storage basins upstream are
operated, the data should not be used in pooling groups and therefore AMAX and
POT data are rejected after water year 1990/91. Flows after 2011 rating change
are uncertain pending further gaugings and should be used with caution. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | Geology consists of Lower Triassic Bunter sandstones, marl,
Millstone Grit and Carboniferous Limestone. A lightly populated catchment having
predominantly agricultural land-use. No significant catchment changes. |
There are abstractions at Garstang but the main artificial influence on low
and medium flows is the Lune-Wyre transfer (via Abbeystead Reservoir). Large
flood flows are reduced by Garstang (online) and Catterall (offline) flood
storage basins upstream. Garstang was first used on 5 January 1992 and Catterall
on 31 January 1995. |

Compound broad-crested weir in near natural catchment. Station closed in
1980 and re-opened 1991. | Station opened in May 1967 as compound
broad-crested weir; central crest 3.65m wide, two flanking crests each 7.4m wide
and 0.38m higher. Station closed December 1980 (due to gravel problems) and
re-opened January 1991 following inlet pipe improvements. | No bypassing.
High flow gaugings from nearby bridge or portable cableway. Two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. Flood Studies Report grade B. |
Peak flow data are presented for the period of the improved station from
1991. A large flood occurred on 8/8/1967, which demolished 12 houses in the
village of Wray. Maximum water level at gauging station levelled in at 4.91m
above weir crest - thought to have resulted from backing-up from Meal Bank
Bridge downstream before it collapsed, so stage doesn't represent the peak flow.
Hydraulic Research Station (HRS) estimated peak as 637m3/s, though current
estimate at Hornby downstream is less than this. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Stream
is steep and flashy. An almost entirely rural catchment with predominantly
agricultural and moorland land use with little development. Designated Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty. No significant catchment changes. | Near

Compound-broad crested weir. Early record contains data from two sites
(measuring high and low flows). Some influences on low flows due to transfers
and abstractions. | Compound broad-crested weir. Station opened in 1968 to
measure low flows, with Halton 3 km downstream measuring high flows. On closure
of Halton in 1985, Caton became a full-range station and the records were
combined. | The cableway downstream at Halton was used to gauge higher
flows until severely damaged in the January 1995 event. One peak flow rating
across period of record based on gaugings, extrapolated using a hydraulic model
to allow for floodplain flow. The highest gauging on record (at Halton) is a
rough estimate (based on gauging across half the river before the gauging hut
had to be evacuated). | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Headwaters rise from Shap
Fell and the Pennines. Mixed geology with Carboniferous Limestone; Silurian
shales; Millstone Grit and Coal Measures. Substantial Drift cover. Agriculture
in valleys; grassland with peat moss in highest areas. No significant catchment
changes. | Transfers to River Wyre under Lancashire Conjunctive Use Scheme
(LCUS). Major abstractions for public water supply. |

with headwaters in the eastern Lake District and north west Yorkshire
Dales. | A non-standard compound broad-crest weir with off-centre low flow
notch, installed May 1969. | Station is fully contained, no bypassing.
There is some flow leakage from the left bank wing wall, which may impact upon
very low flows. Station affected by stilling well leakage until 2/88. Cableway
was located 30m upstream, re-built in 2003 nearer to the weir. New cableway
gaugings show a good correlation with the old cableway gaugings. Flood gaugings
are affected by strong turbulence and wave action. One peak flow rating applied
across period of record. Originally a theoretical rating, with check gaugings,
now extrapolated by hydraulic modelling. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | A wet,
natural and entirely rural catchment, draining the eastern Lake District fells
and northwestern parts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Silurian slates to
the W, Carboniferous conglomerate and Limestone N and E. Peat moss on high moors
to NW, heather moss in N. Lower valleys are Boulder Clay covered. Moorland,
grass, arable farming. No significant catchment changes. | Natural
catchment. |

Broad-crested weir draining rural, natural catchment. | Rectangular
section broad-crested weir with a central low flow notch, constructed in 1978.
Weir reconstructed to original height in 1991 due to erosion problems. |
No bypassing reported. A downstream stilling pool with a further
broad-crested weir with twin low flow notches next to the banks does not affect
the control. Coarse gravel shoals above weir on right bank. One rating applied
across period of record derived from current meter gaugings. High flows rated by
ADCP from upstream cableway. | Daily mean flows suspect from 19/06/2018
until 27/07/2018 because of drift and debris. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Moderate
relief, entirely rural, catchment. Steep headwaters drain Millstone Grit in the
north and Carboniferous Limestone in the south. Sherwood Sandstone close to the
gauge. Peat on high moors, lower catchment overlain by Boulder Clay. No
significant catchment changes. | |

Velocity area station draining catchment with natural flow regime. Low flows
can be affected by stilling well siltation. | Velocity area station in
natural channel, approx 30m wide, opened 1967. | Limestone outcrop 10m
downstream forms the bed control. No bypassing - all flows contained until at
least 6m. Stilling well experiences siltation problems, giving flat-bottomed
recessions. A cableway 50m upstream was removed during September 1975. One peak
flow rating, with modelled top end, applied across period of record. Flood
Studies Report grade B. | Early daily flow record contains some gaps.
WY1980/1981 rejected due to substanital under-estimation of the true AMAX. Flows
between September 2009 and April 2011 elevated by tree root trapped in natural
bed control and should be treated with caution. Low data was suspended due to
access to the station and channel being red carded, therefore no gaugings were
undertaken to confirm rated flows. Rating curve has now been reactivated and
flow data is being produced. First QA in 2018 identified stilling pipe blockage
due to siltation that needed to be cleared. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | High relief
moorland catchment draining Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone Grit. Peat on
highest moors, Boulder Clay on lower slopes and in valleys. No significant
changes. | Steep, upland catchment results in very responsive flows.

Non-standard, compound bed control built into the invert of a railway
bridge. Predominantly natural flow regime. | Non-standard, compound bed
control built into the invert of a railway bridge. Overall width 11.65m, with
4.2m wide central notch. Weir eroded. Station opened in 1978; repaired in 1989,
June to September 2009, and February to May 2011. Station replaced Tebay

therefore rating applicable to full range. Erosion could affect low flows.
High-flow gauging by cableway 10m upstream. Flows above a stage of 3.5m cannot
be gauged accurately due to high velocities lifting the bomb up towards the
surface. Separate daily flow ratings applied before and after works in Sept
2009. Three peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings, with top limb
from hydraulic modelling. | No mean flow data summer 2009 and between
February and May 2011 due to weir repairs. Full period of record peak flow data

Non-standard weir with small fish pass. Artificial influence from Lune-Wyre
transfer via Abbeystead reservoir. | Station opened in January 1967 with a
non-standard compound broad-crested weir and fish pass. | Siltation of
stilling well affects low flow measurement; this was a serious problem in 2009
and Jan 2010. Large floods spill out of bank into gravel pits, bypassing
station. The November 1980 floods breached many embankments on the River Wyre,
including upstream of Scorton, so that the level at the station in this event
may have been less than if the embankments had held. After the January 1995
floods, around 1996, the right bank was raised, and QMED is now roughly within
bank. During high flows gravel and boulders are washed over the weir causing
erosion to the crest. This erosion and repairs have led to multiple ratings
being applied throughout the station record, all similar at high flows, so a
single one is adopted. One peak flow rating applied across period of record,
derived from current meter gaugings, with a modelled top-end to allow for
floodplain flow. Current meter gaugings taken at high flows by handline from a
nearby footbridge. | No data from May 1997-May 1998 due to problems at
site. Peak flows are shown but marked as Rejected before the current raised
embankments in 1996. No daily flow data after storm Desmond on 05/12/2015. |
A predominantly rural and agricultural catchment with moorland fed
headwaters. Geology is almost entirely Millstone Grit. A major geological fault
is situated just downstream of the weir. No significant catchment changes. |
Abbeystead reservoir in centre of catchment controls approx 50%. Adjacent
gravel workings and Lune-Wyre transfer via the reservoir (see 72002) can affect
flow regime. |

Curved crest weir constructed in 1957. Predominantly natural flow regime.
Previously station number 72807. | Station from 1957 on rebuilt weir,
curved crest 0.19m long, radius 26.6m, channel 38m wide, with V notch 2.86m wide
in centre and 0.5m below main crest. Previously (Jan 1940 to May 1945) a
broad-crested weir (40.2m wide), but no data presented for the earlier station.
The gauging stations at Wennington and Wray account for 96% of the catchment
area. | Weir drowns at high flows. Defences raised in flood alleviation
scheme constructed 1996 to 1997; before this, high flows cut across bend on
right bank. High flow gaugings carried out by means of portable cableway 100m
upstream of recorder. Two ratings applied across period of record. Peak flow
ratings derived from current meter gauging with modelled top-end. New rating
after embankments raised in 1997. Peak flow ratings at Hornby, Wennington and
Wray have been reworked and give reasonable matches. Flood Studies Report grade
B for entire record 1940-1945 and 1957-date. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). No data
since June 2020 due to outstation failure. | A predominantly rural
catchment including western parts of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Mixed
geology consisting of Coal Measures, Millstone Grit and Carboniferous Limestone.
Small area of impervious Silurian slate in the east. Most of the catchment is
covered with Boulder Clay, some alluvium and hill peat; heather moor in the
south. No significant catchment changes. | Predominantly natural flow
regime. Negligible impact on the flow from abstractions and discharges. |

Velocity area station with small truncated Flat V weir gauging a relatively
flat, rural catchment. | Velocity area station with small truncated Flat V
weir approx 4.3m wide, low wingwalls in straight channel. Located approximately
150m downstream of a road bridge in open pasture. | The weir was primarily
constructed as a low flow gauge and drowns out at a relatively low level. Large
flows spill onto the right bank floodplain. Rating developed from gaugings, with
modelled top-end to allow for bypassing / out of bank flow. | Early daily
flows held for Apr 1972-Jan 1975. Daily and peak flows held from Sept 1984. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Relatively flat, mainly agricultural rural area, with
sandstones in lower part and mudstones in upper catchment. | Predominantly
natural flow regime. Minor impact from groundwater abstractions. |

Velocity area station, closed in 2000 and replaced by Bowston (73017). |
Velocity-area station in natural channel on an industrial site within a
paper factory. Station opened 1974 and closed June 2000, replaced by Bowston
(73017). Site became problematic due to river bank problems, access difficulties
and the absence of a low flow control. | Full range of flows contained. No
permanent cableway, gauging by wading up to 0.8m, high flows by temporary
cableway. Station reconstructed in 1991, which included a 30 inch concrete well,
situated on the left bank, and boulders, to act as a control. Station closed
from 25/1/91 to 15/4/1991 for reconstruction. Change in control affected low
flow rating, but impact on high flow rating thought to be insignificant. High
flow gaugings at Bowston (new replacement station) used to develop a single peak
flow rating applied throughout. There are 10 ratings for low-medium flows. |
Station opened 15/08/1974, but no data before 1/10/1981. Statistical
analysis does not support merging of the flow records of 73003 and 73017. |
Impervious Lower Palaeozoic slate; flagstone and shale covered in middle
reaches of valleys by Boulder Clay which supports permanent grassland, remainder
for grazing. Rises in the mountainous Lake District; steep descent to
Kendal. | Near natural catchment with minor discharges. |

Compound broad-crested weir gauging a catchment with flashy regime in the
southern Lake District. | Station opened October 1968, data held from
November 1978. Compound broad-crested weir, 27m wide with 9.16m low flow notch
0.3m lower (widened from 3m in October 1994). Eel pass installed October
2014. | Weir very prone to algal growth which can significantly affect
lower levels and needs regular cleaning in summer. Very fast river with a steep
gradient; weir may drown around 1.3m. No bypassing. Permanent cableway, which
was moved from a poorer section in 1989 - so gaugings before then may be less
accurate. Flows were not contained in notch prior to widening; rating was good
before and after. Flood Studies Report grade A1. Two peak flow ratings applied
across period of record, the most recent is valid from October 1994; rating
below 2.2m derived from check gaugings and hydraulic modelling used beyond. Data
presented after the installation of a non-standard sleeper V control on
07/11/1978 to stabilise the bed correcting earlier issues with low flow
measurement. | | High relief catchment drains impervious
Pre-Cambrian to Silurian rocks where heather moorland and peat predominate.
Carboniferous Limestone provides good grazing, especially south of Kendal on
Drift cover. Heather moorland and peat predominate, and most land is
grazed. | Flashy, with widely fluctuating flows. Discharges from paper
mill and Kendal sewage treatment works. |

Velocity area station gauging a catchment that predominantly drains through
Esthwaite Water. | Velocity area station opened in May 1968 in an
artificially straightened reach. A non-standard wooden sleeper V control was
installed Nov 1978. Historically this has been a relatively poor site with weed
in the channel, erosion of the left bank, and deposition downstream. The station
was closed in April 1983, but reopened in March 1985 when long term
investigation of water quality in Esthwaite Water was started. The control was
modified and raised approximately 0.1m in August 1999. Removed from peak flows
dataset in May 2016 (WINFAP Files v4). | The highest flows spill onto the
left bank. Heavy rainfall brings down appreciable bedloads. The wooden weir was
installed in Nov 1978 to stabilise the bed and increase low flow sensitivity. In
November 1998 a tree and part of the right bank collapsed into the channel;
debris collected and scour took place with resultant gravel deposited upstream
of control raising the bed in some places as high as the control. Ongoing
channel changes since. No cableway. Bridge gauging was used for high flow
gaugings by current meter. ADCP now used. | Revised daily flow data from
9/01/2005 to 31/12/2007 loaded on 11/08/2009 due to new rating: generally slight
increases, annual runoff increased by 3%. Missing data for 14 days starting
19/11/2009 due to flood damage and from 2010 to 2012 due to a significant
removal of gravel in June 2010. Flows suspended from 21/06/2020 pending new
rating. Zero flows between 1976 and 1978 recorded stage below the rating
limit. | A steep, wet catchment draining Silurian shales, mudstones and
sandstones. Minor superficial deposits. Westerly tributary to Windermere.
Land-use mostly rural with woodland on valley slopes. No catchment changes
known. | River does not show a flashy response; majority of catchment
drains through Esthwaite Water, giving attenuated response. |

Flat V weir, velocity area for medium/high flows. Minor impact from
Killington Reservoir. | Opened July 1969. Flat V weir 18.9m across, 1:20
cross slope. Velocity area for medium/high flows. | Believed to become
non-modular, but not to fully drown. No bypassing. Algal and weed issues, the
weir does require regular cleaning in summer but does not significantly affect
flow data providing the cleaning work is maintained. No permanent cableway, but
high flows well gauged to beyond QMED. The high flow gaugings were done from
temporary cableway installed in 1970 and again in 1999 and 2000. One peak flow
rating applied across period of record which fits well to gaugings. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | Predominantly Silurian slate with Carboniferous Limestone in
lower reaches. Boulder Clay covers a large proportion of the catchment, giving
rise to arable farming and permanent grassland. The remainder is rough grazing.
No significant catchment changes. | Minor impact from Killington
Reservoir. Low flows may be affected by discharges from paper mill. |

Flat V weir gauging a very wet, high relief catchment. Predominantly natural
flow regime. | Station opened Oct 1969. Flat V weir 14m wide, cross-slopes
1:20, wingwalls to 0.61m, with sloping ground above. Weir was repaired in 1990
and 2000. Weir significantly repaired summer 2018 but no obvious effect on the
flow data. Eel pass added at the same time, attached to the outer edge of the
weir. May have a minor effect on V full flows. Flood warning station for
Kendal. | Cableway used for medium to high flows. Modular limit not known,
but above 1m (see photos). Two ratings applied across period of record thought
to be a result of small datum shift in January/February 1995. Good fit to
gaugings, highest gauging taken during Storm Desmond (05/12/2015) which
confirmed rating. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | High relief, very wet
catchment drains an area of peat moss growing on Borrowdale Volcanics in extreme
north, through grazing lands on Silurian and Ordovician slate, flags and shales
to Boulder Clay covered lower reaches. No catchment changes known. |
Predominantly natural flow regime. In the past, low flows were slightly
influenced by mill sluice operations. |

Compound Crump profile weir gauging the outflow of Lake Windermere. The lake
supports public water supply abstraction and attenuates peak flows. |
Level record since 1939 from four different sites at Newby Bridge. All flow
records from 1939 to 1974 combined into a single sequence. Since 04/05/1971
Compound Crump profile weir. The original "Recorder" station to 1969 was a
recorder in a box with stilling well located where the upstream face of the
bridge met the right bank. Chart trace appears ok. However, there was no staff
gauge at the site to check the chart levels in the early years, and some
concerns about the representativeness of recorded levels during high flows,
and/or datum changes. The PGS (Primary Gauging Station; 1963-1981) was a
velocity area station with a hut and cableway, on the right bank approx 140m
upstream of the bridge. The period of overlap of the Recorder and PGS stations
enabled a stage-discharge relationship to be derived for the Recorder station.
In 1971 the weir immediately downstream of the bridge was reconstructed, flood
relief gates added, and the present FMS (Flow Measuring Station) built
downstream. A temporary recorder was installed approx 600m downstream of the FMS
during construction of the FMS and upstream weir. The FMS station has a low
central notch 3.7m wide, and two flanking crests 10m and 16.9 m wide, 0.65 m
higher. Weir was repaired summer 2013 and crests restored to original profile;
does not appear to have affected the single rating equation. | Full-range
station. The bridge is a control at medium to high flows, though some modelling
suggests that the comparatively narrow part of the lake upstream of the bridge
can act as a control on lake levels. The November 2009 event exceeded the top of
the divide walls, but the weir was not drowned (see photos). There are 2 ADCP
gaugings from December 2015 at 2.145m and 2.134m, extrapolated beyond.
Observations of weir during highest event on record give confidence to
extrapolation of rating. There is an effect of the upstream flood relief gates
on recorded flows, they can suddenly increase significantly when opened and
suddenly decrease significantly when closed. There are fish sluice gates on the
upstream weir which are opened at very low flows to maintain a certain flow
downstream. Therefore recorded flows at extreme levels have a large artificial
influence. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record. | The
records from the various stations since 1939 have been merged to form one
record, though the Recorder record has more uncertainties than the later
stations. Peak stage data for the Recorder period have been adjusted; the
adjustment sets the offset of the rating equation to zero, which should
generally be around 0.274m. (So an original stated level of 1.274m at a chart
datum of 38.71mAOD with (h-0.274m) in the rating equation has been reset to a
level of 1.0m, with (h+0) in the rating equation). The temporary station was
used to calculate flows by correlation with the PGS and used to infill the flow
record from Sept 1970 to June 1971. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Catchment
drains southern parts of the Lake District massif. Predominantly impervious,
Borrowdale Volcanics in north and Silurian Slate in south. Boulder Clay along
river valleys. Mainly grassland, very wooded in lower reaches. Catchment
contains Windermere, Esthwaite Water, Rydal Water and Grasmere, and numerous
other small, natural water bodies. No catchment changes known. |
Abstractions from Lake Windermere for public water supply. Peak flows
attenuated by Lake Windermere. |

Flat V weir gauging steep, very wet natural catchment. | Station
opened in 1969. Flat V weir, 10.9m across, cross-slope 1:10, originally with
stainless steel crest which disappeared in 1987. Replaced 1990 but negligible
effect, weir repaired summer 2002, 2007 and 2013. Weir situated 300m upstream of
the bridge. | Low flow weir - likely to drown at high flows. Flows
contained except during Storm Desmond (05/12/2015). Site can be waded to 0.7m.
Two ratings applied across period of record with a change on 01/01/1990
attributed to gravel accretion upstream. | Significant gaps in daily mean
flow record: 1978, 1980 and 1988. Peak flows: Although calendar years 1980 and
1988 are largely missing, comparison of dates and magnitudes at Sprint Mill
suggests that water year AMAX series presented are reasonable. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | A steep, very wet natural catchment. Geology predominantly
impervious Silurian Slate with bands of Flags and Shale, small patches of
Carboniferous Limestone and Basal Conglomerate. Patchy boulder clay cover in the
middle and lower reaches. Sheep grazing with peat moorland in the extreme north.
No known catchment changes. | Natural catchment. Low flows slightly
affected by Meal Bank mill sluice operation from 21/7/67 to 3/1/69 and periodic
releases from sludge disposal works. |

Velocity area station opened in 1974 to replace Nether Bridge. Flows
pre-1978 affected by Kendal flood alleviation scheme. | Velocity area
station in a stone wall lined open channel. Opened January 1974, replacing an
earlier station at Nether Bridge (1963-1981) downstream. The original Victoria
Bridge site had to be closed, and a new site was opened some 40m downstream in
February 2010, with a temporary site being used from 2007 to 2010. | High
flows affected by Stramongate Bridge and Stramongate Weir just downstream.
Kendal flood alleviation scheme (1972-1978) improved conveyance through Kendal.
Gravel trap upstream of Kendal, constructed as part of the flood relief scheme,
is believed to have reduced gravel input, causing significant scour through the
gauging section, with a deeper channel. Although there were no works to
Stramongate Weir itself, and little change between Stramongate Weir and the
gauging station, flow data before the scheme agrees less well with Sedgwick
downstream. Few gaugings before 1995. Portable cableway used for rating in the
early 1980s, but few gaugings and some uncertainty in results. One rating
applied to period of record (although no reliable high-flow rating available
pre-scheme to 1978) valid post-scheme, based on gaugings and hydraulic
modelling, and compared with Sedgwick. Few gaugings to confirm use of rating for
lower flows before 1991. | Peak flow data pre-1978 has been marked as
rejected due to Kendal flood alleviation scheme. | A steep, very wet
catchment draining the south of the Lake District massif. Geology is
predominately impervious Ordovician Silurian Slate with bands of flags and

Velocity-area station in a natural catchment. | Velocity area station.
Natural catchment, containing Rydal Water and Grasmere. | Initially a
loose boulder control, but rating was unstable because of the mobile bed. Data
quality poor. A wooden low flow control was installed 2/91 but deteriorating

Velocity area station. Bed movement and weed growth require frequent rating
changes. | Velocity area station in a straight section with stony bed,
opened 07/09/1970. The original site at Jeffy Knotts consisted of a small kiosk
with chart recorder. This was replaced during March-April 1998 with a full size
well and building with power and telemetry. The station replaced the nearby site
downstream at Brathay Hall which opened on 08/10/1965 and was terminated on
16/12/1980. Microfiche stage data is available for that site. | Rock bar
downstream acts as control. All flows contained. Bed dredged between
19-24/07/1994 causing water levels to fall by approx. 0.2m. Flows seriously
affected by weed growth and heavily vegetated banks (which restrict flow at high
levels to centre of the channel). No permanent cableway or suitable bridge
nearby, though flows above wade height can now be gauged by ADCP. Multiple low
flow ratings to account for gravel deposition and weed growth, with a single
modelled peak flow rating above 2m. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Steep, very
wet moorland catchment, draining Langdale Fell in centre of Lake District,
running into Windermere. Solid geology Silurian and Ordovician Volcanics and
lavas, much exposed at outcrop. Some hill peat and boulder clay cover. Catchment
contains four small, natural waterbodies. No catchment changes known. |
Natural catchment, draining through Elterwater. |

Station opened in 1971 with a flat V weir gauging a natural, flashy
catchment. Peak flow data available from 1990 onwards. | Flat-V weir,
opened 1971, 3.5m wide, cross-slopes 1:10, set in vertical wing walls, approx 1m
high. Superseded level-only open channel station (High Keer Bridge) which opened
1970. | Structure performs well, all flows contained within banks. A
downstream recorder was installed in June 2007, and showed that the modular
limit of the weir is around 0.6m. Station closed between October 1981 and 20
September 1990, and during this period the watercourse is believed to have been
straightened. No cableway, but recent higher gaugings by ADCP. All gaugings at
the higher flows are after 1990. One rating applied across period of record.
Rating developed from gaugings. Rating revised after high flow gaugings in
September 2011. | No daily flow data 09/08/2001 and 23/11/2001 due to
instrument failure during foot and mouth outbreak. Peak flow data are rejected
as unrepresentative before 1990 as stages of high flow events in the early
period (to 1981) tend to be lower than from 1990; the reason is unknown - could
be due to the changes to the downstream channel, a change in maintenance regime,
just possibly differences in equipment, or could be a genuine change in flows.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023
(WINFAP Files v12). | NE-SW trending catchment formed from series of
ridges of moderate relief. Solid geology: Carboniferous Limestone and Millstone
Grit overlain by extensive Boulder Clay, glacial sands and gravels. Wholly rural
with forest plantations. No significant catchment changes. | Rather flashy
regime from natural catchment. |

Velocity-area station 250 m upstream of Windermere lake; one of the four
main lake tributaries. | Established Nov 1995 as a temporary site to
monitor low flows. Timber bed control present 2004-2009, bridge-mounted radar
installed 2018. Station good for low and medium flows, suspect at high flows.
Troutbeck Bridge (EA station 735327) was approximately 1.2km upstream and
recorded from June 1967 to April 1983 (possibly poor data quality). |
Originally, pressure sensor in river that lacked accuracy. Whole river
section subject to extensive work (from 10/07/1997) in strengthening the banks
and re-grading the bed. A low timber bed control installed 10/09/2004 to improve
stability but still prone to rating change and hence not replaced when destroyed
in Nov 2009 flood; subsequently fully open channel again. Significant gravel
deposition through reach during storm Desmond, Dec 2015. Levels over 2m affected
by bridge immediately upstream causing significant afflux and some out of bank
flow. Very high Windermere lake levels can also influence levels. Mobile gravel
bed at the site results in frequent rating changes. Top end ratings are very
uncertain and inconsistent, with lack of high gaugings. | Flows not held
before 01/07/2003 due to poor quality. Low flows remain poor quality until the
control was installed. Quality improved since then but still affected by
frequent bed movements and rating changes. Missing data July 2010, Jan-Feb 2011,
Feb 2023 and Sept-Oct 2023 due to instrument faults. | Steep, mountainous
catchment rising to over 700m. | Very flashy. |

Velocity area station opened as replacement for Burneside (73003). |
Velocity area station with purpose built shallow V low flow control. The
site is downstream of the village of Bowston and has a good approach channel.
Station commissioned October 1999 as a replacement for the site at Burneside
(1500m downstream). Catchment area to Bowston is approx 5% less than Burneside.
There is an overlap with Burneside of 8 months and a good correlation between
the two data sets is apparent, peaks at Bowston being slightly less. |
Left bank has been raised to contain anticipated flows of up to a one in a
hundred year return period at 3m. Cableway for high flow gaugings. Two peak flow
ratings applied across period of record. High flow gaugings at Bowston used to
develop a single rating applied to both Burneside and Bowston. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP
Files v11). Statistical analysis does not support merging of the flow records of
73003 and 73017. | Impervious lower Palaeozoic slate, flagstone and shale
covered by boulder clay in the middle reaches of the valley, which supports
permanent grassland, remainder for grazing. Rises in mountainous Lake District -
steep descent to Kendal. | Highly flashy regime from a predominantly
natural catchment. |

Compound broad-crested weir gauging a steep, responsive catchment. |
Station opened in 1967. Compound broad-crested weir, 22.9m overall, centre
crest 7m and 0.3m below flanking crests of equal height. | All flows
contained. Lower flows are gauged by wading but section is poor due to exposed
rocks and skew flows. In the past some low gaugings were undertaken in the
centre notch of the weir. High flow gaugings up to 1.463m were undertaken in
1968 from a portable cableway upstream of the weir. Improvements to the gauging
section and to gauging kit may explain gauging deviation trends over time. The
original theoretical equation applies across the whole record, supported by
gaugings. | Peak flows: although 212 days missing in water year 1978/79,
AMAX at 74008 Duddon at Ulpha (upstream) occurs on the same date and flows
(allowing for catchment area) are comparable. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A steep
catchment, with the river rising at Wrynose Pass and flowing through sparsely
populated agricultural land. Geology composed of entirely impervious Ordovician
Borrowdale Volcanics and Andesitic Lavas with patches of Boulder Clay and thin
soils. Peat moss in north west. No catchment changes known. | Little
urbanisation, but extremely flashy runoff. Abstractions for Barrow public water
supply from Ulpha pumping station u/s. Variable compensation flow from
Seathwaite Tarn. |

Flat V weir replacing earlier velocity area station. Station gauges a very
wet catchment with steep headwaters and flow regime affected by Wast Water, 1km
upstream. | Station opened December 1967 on a natural channel with a
plastic pipe, then gabion as bed control. The control was modified in September
1968. Flat V weir constructed 20m upstream in September 1990. The weir was
refurbished in July and August 2006; the datum plate was reset on 19/04/2007 and
levels from the date of the refurbishment were adjusted by the change. |
Flows contained to 1.3m, significant out of bank flow thereafter. Flows
above bankfull are extremely suspect as there is significant unmeasured out of
bank flow. Cableway until 2002. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period
of record, the most recent is valid from April 2007. Ratings show good fit to
corresponding gaugings. Flood Studies Report grade B. | No data during
weir construction May-Sep 1990. No data 04/07/2006 - 15/08/2006 due to weir
repairs. High daily mean flows pre-Oct 1978 are often higher than peak flows and
uncertain; peak flows rejected pre-Oct 1978 pending review of the early
pre-digital rating history. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Catchment subject to
heavy rainfall, with rapid runoff in short, steep rivers. Entirely impervious
Orodovician Borrowdale Volcanics and Andesitic Lavas rocks with Drift cover
along river valley. Landuse mainly sheep farming on rough pasture, with heath
and moorland. No known catchment changes. | Site is 1km downstream of Wast
Water which is important for public water supply and major industrial purposes;
greatly affects low flows and subdues hydrograph variation. |

Compound Crump weir gauging the outflow from Ennerdale Lake. |
Compound Crump profile weir from August 1973; 10.6m overall width; centre
notch 3.0m wide and 0.3m lower than flanking crests each 3.5m wide. Measures
flood discharge and compensation water from Ennerdale Water 800m u/s. The
station was formerly known as Ennerdale Weir. Replaced narrow flume with side
weir regarded as control for a rated section. Eel pass installed 2016. |
Wingwalls raised from 1.5m to 2.0m in 1999. However, flow above around 1.4m
stage bypasses the station on right bank - observed during the large event in
October 2008. Although a baffle plate has been installed, well surging, which
can be over 20 mm at higher stages, can be a problem. Eel pass installed 2016.
Permanent cableway, but gaugings do not include bypassing flow. Gaugings also
carried out 30m downstream of weir. One rating applied, based on gaugings
although above 1.5m rating is uncertain due to bypassing. | Considerable
uncertainty due to bypassing in the largest events, such as October 2008 and
November 2009. No data are presented for the earlier station (before 1973). Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP
Files v9). | Catchment geology of completely impervious Skiddaw Slates in
the north west, Borrowdale Volcanics in the south east with intrusions in the
centre. Mostly rough sheep grazing, with forestry on drift cover along river
valley. No catchment changes known. | Although gauging Ennerdale lake
outflow, the regime is much more responsive than other lake outflows in the
area. Ennerdale Water (0.8 km u/s) provides public water supply for West Cumbria
and industrial supply for Sellafield. Compensation flow. |

Non-standard shallow V weir. Low flows dominated by compensation flow from
Ennerdale. | Non-standard shallow V control installed 1997. Superseded a
velocity area station with unstable rating. Weir lowered summer 2007. |
Cableway at site. Stony bed. Bypassed in extreme floods - comes out of bank
u/s at about 2m and bypasses station; thus flow measured is not total flow.
Velocity area station had unstable rating - gravel bar low flow control with
significant weed growth problems. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across
period of record. Rated by current meter to 2.4m. Ratings allow for changes in
channel and weir structure. Change in datum in 2007 when weir was lowered
unknown. | Significant bypassing in major events, such as November 2009
when embankments were breached. Flows above 1.3m likely to be underestimated.
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Geology of
the upper catchment is impervious Borrowdale Volcanics in east, Skiddaw Slates
in west, the whole overlain in north west by Carboniferous Limestone, Coal
Measures and patches of Permo-Triassic Sandstone. Drift covered. Some urban
development in the small towns of Egremont and Cleator Moor in the lower
catchment, middle reaches arable, remainder sheep pasture. Towns situated close
to the channel or tributaries. Includes Ennerdale Water. No known catchment
changes. | Low flows dominated by compensation flow from Ennerdale; major
exports for water supply. |

Flat V weir gauging a very steep catchment with flashy regime. Some
influences on flow due to abstractions and low flow augmentation. |
Station opened December 1973. Flat V weir 12m wide, 1:20 cross-slope,
measures low and medium flows. Weir repaired in 1990, 1995 and 2001. Right bank
4m high, left bank 2.56m high. | Thought to drown at very high flows. All
flows are contained within bank. Slight silting occurs, but flashy nature keeps
structure clear although makes gauging high flows very difficult. No weed growth
problem. Stilling well leaked intermittently until repaired in 1989. Permanent
cableway installed in 2002. One peak flow rating applied to period of record.
Rating derived from current metering at low and medium flows. | Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8). | A very steep, flashy catchment. Upper catchment geology
comprises impervious Skiddaw Slates and Borrowdale Volcanics; lower catchment
Triassic Sandstone. Land use is mostly rough sheep grazing in the upper reaches,
with meadow and permanent pasture lower down. Soil cover is very thin. Small
percentage of the catchment is forested. No catchment changes known. |
Flashy response. From 1/1/80 low flow augmentation by pumping from the St
Bees sandstone. Industrial abstraction which ceases during times of low
flow. |

Velocity area station gauging steep, rural flashy catchment in the western
Lake District. | Velocity area station, opened October 1974. Channel 17.3m
across, banks about 2m. | An Open channel site where a rough stone ford
downstream forms some control for low flows. Changes to the ford and problems
with gauging sites has necessitated frequent rating changes at the site. Due to
the nature of the rough control, there is low confidence in low flow data
although no known major problems. Low Flows - Cobble accretion problems at
control variably affecting levels and low flow derivation. High Flows - no known
problems up to bank full. Above bank full, rating does not include bypass
flow. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | A steep rural, flashy, catchment with
geology comprising impervious Ordovician andesitic lavas and tuffs with massive
granitic intrusion, virtually drift free. Mountainous catchment (maximum
altitude at Scafell Pike), with no industry or urbanisation, supports rough
pasture and moorland for sheep grazing; grassland in valley. Catchment includes
Burnmoor Tarn. No catchment changes known. | Flashy regime with no known
artificial influences. |

Non-standard three bay compound broad-crested weir gauging a steeply sloping
flashy catchment containing Seathwaite Tarn. | Station opened 1971.
Non-standard compound broad-crested weir, three different crest levels (heights
zero, 0.31m, 0.54m) of varying widths and lengths. Structure at obtuse angle on
a gentle right bend. Approach banks are man-made stone walls. Eel passes
installed in 2019. | The bed is concrete and there is no silting. Stony
bed. Weir walls contain all flows. Levels may be affected by surging during high
flows. No cableway. Waded current metering 100 m downstream of weir. Although
well-gauged to around 0.72m, the two higher gaugings (around QMED) were obtained
in 1979 using a portable cableway and accuracy is uncertain. The post-1982 peak
flow rating is applied across the period of record pending review, but there is
considerable uncertainty in top end ratings and limited drivers for improvement
at this site. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Geology of impervious Ordovician
Andesitic Lavas, virtually drift free. Steeply sloping, thin soils, sheep
pasture. No urbanisation. Catchment includes Seathwaite Tarn. No catchment
changes known. | Major abstraction 10m upstream for Barrow public water
supply. Compensation flow from Seathwaite Tarn 8km upstream. |

Compound Crump weir gauging the compensation and flood discharges from
Thirlmere reservoir. | Compound Crump profile weir, 13.6m wide overall,
central notch 1.96m wide and 0.31m lower than flanking crests, each 5.5m wide.
Station building raised above flood level in 2001. Station measures compensation
and flood spill discharges from Thirlmere reservoir approx. 1km upstream.
Replaced a rectangular thin-plate weir in January 1973. | Modular limit
0.7m (centre crest), 0.8m (side crests), 1.04m (full structure). Station is
bypassed on both banks at high flows, with significant out of bank flow at the
highest flows. The bridge downstream can be blocked by debris, backing-up the
weir. During the 2005 event the bridge was almost totally blocked with debris
causing a significant rise in levels. The highest flows have been compared with
the spillweir (Thirlmere Dam Wall) at Thirlmere Reservoir. Rating from theory
and check gaugings to 1m, above this from weir equations at Thirlmere Dam Wall
and stage-stage relationship between the two stations. More high flow gaugings
necessary to confirm or improve the rating which is understood to underestimate
significant bypass flow. | Daily mean flow record begins in 1935 and is
missing from 1937-45, 1968-69 and 1970-72. Naturalised monthly flows 1964-1966.
Confidence in the flow record before the installation of the compound Crump weir
in 1973 is low. | Catchment composed entirely of impervious Ordovician
Borrowdale Volcanics, runoff from these into the reservoir is rapid. Rock
outcrop, rough pasture with heather. Sheep grazing, some forestry. | Flow
pattern reflects heavy abstraction, compensation flows and flood spill
discharges of Thirlmere 1km upstream. Natural water level of Thirlmere was
raised 17m by impounding dam at beginning of 20th Century. Abstractions from
Thirlmere Reservoir for Manchester, pumped from Dunmail Raise. Catchwater
channel diverts streams from Mill Gill to Helvellyn Gill into Thirlmere
Reservoir at all but highest flows. |

Velocity area station for the Derwent catchment, closed after being
destroyed by flooding in 2009. | Velocity area station opened August 1960,
destroyed by fire in 1986 but replaced, closed after being destroyed by November
2009 flood. The farthest downstream flow measurement on the River Derwent,
channel 30m wide. | Stony, gravely bed. Station had permanent cableway.
Full range calibration, all flows contained. No by-passing owing to steep banks
(left is artificial flood bank). Footbridge acted as high flow control 50-60m
downstream of the site. One high flow rating applied across period of record.
Rating developed from gaugings. Gauged to a high level - several over 200m3/s,
with a further gauging at just over 300m3/s. Rating and flows for Nov 2009 event
from hydraulic modelling. Flood Studies Report grade A1. | Opened in 1960,
reliable record since 1961. Naturalised monthly flows from 1962 to 1967. The
November 2009 flood was exceptional. Both banks were severely damaged and the
footbridge downstream largely demolished. Flows spilled over the banks
downstream of the station. The flow was estimated by hydraulic modelling at 700
m3/s (720m3/s +- around 60 m3/s), attempting to allow for the channel
changes. | Upper third of catchment is moorland draining Ordovician rocks;
Borrodale volcanics or Skiddaw group. Drift covered valley floors support
grazing and some arable farming. All flows from Derwent Water, Bassenthwaite
Lake, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Loweswater and Thirlmere flow through station,
giving a slowly changing flow pattern with hydrographs of differing origin
superimposed. Towns of Keswick and Cockermouth are in the catchment. No
catchment changes known. | Compensation flows from Thirlmere Reservoir and
Crummock Water will affect low flows. |

Velocity area station gauging outflows from Bassenthwaite Lake. |
Velocity-area station opened March 1968. Channel 30m wide immediately
downstream of Ouse Bridge itself, which is at the outlet to Bassenthwaite Lake.
Station hut was originally on left bank, moved to right bank 1994/95, and
rebuilt after Nov 2009 event. | Low flow control is an artificial pipe
about 120m downstream, close to an island which acts as a control for higher
flows. Stony bank without much weed growth. Performs reasonably well at flood
flows. New floodbank, 2006, constructed on right bank, raising containment level
from 2.3m to 2.8m; rarely overtopped. However, the new flood bank was overtopped
in the exceptional November 2009 event, which demolished the walls of the
gauging hut (see photo). Station has permanent cableway. Rated by current meter
to top of flood banks, with modelled rating above. Ratings applied before and
after bank raising in June 2006, and after effects of November 2009, 2012 and
2015 events. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | An entirely rural catchment rising
to the summit of Helvellyn. Entirely on impervious Lower Palaeozoic rocks
supporting mainly rough pasture and moorland with deeply incised headwaters.
Drift is confined to the valley floor. Catchment contains two large natural
water bodies, Derwent Water and Bassenthwaite Lake, also Thirlmere Reservoir.
Entirely rural, mainly rough pasture and moorland. No catchment changes
known. | Derwent Water, Bassenthwaite Lake and Thirlmere Reservoir
moderate flood discharges. |

Velocity area station gauging a catchment draining the Cumbrian mountains
with some reservoirs. | Velocity area station, channel is approximately
17m wide. Station is often used in conjunction with Scalehill (75016). |
Control is a pipeline downstream, and mill weir 137m downstream at higher
flows. Station has permanent cableway and flood banks containing most flows;
bypassing from upstream on right bank at high flows. Suffers from silt, weed
growth and minor bed movements, hence many rating changes. Low and medium flows
of limited accuracy. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record.
Rated by current meter, with model results for higher stages. |
WY1966/1967 rejected due to substanital under-estimation of the true AMAX.
October 2008 flood appears to have resulted in subsequent underestimation of low
flows and overestimation of high flows: data subject to revision. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files
v11). | Catchment drains roughly northwards from the Cumbrian mountains,
with geology comprising Lower Palaeozoic rocks and granite intrusions, under
moorland. Headwaters are deeply incised, while lower river flows in broad
glacial trough. Land use is mainly grazing, with some arable on a broad swathe
of drift in the river valley. No known catchment changes. | Catchment
contains Crummock Water, Buttermere and Loweswater; catchment is sometimes
responsive in spite of these. Low flow compensation pumped from Crummock Water.
Occasional evidence of low flow regulation (e.g. July 1988). |

Velocity area station located between Derwent and Bassenthwaite lakes. |
Opened December 1971 as a velocity area station located between Derwent
(upstream) and Bassenthwaite (downstream) lakes. Non-standard shallow V weir
installed in March 1993. | Initially, a mobile gravel shoal immediately
downstream acted as a control, with bank stability provided by wooden
shuttering. This was not stable and a trench-piled non-standard shallow V weir
was installed in March 1993 with bank stability provided by stone embankments.
The station may be bypassed a little before the bankfull level at the station -
roughly, a little above QMED. Bypassing is significant in the larger floods.
Station has permanent cableway. Shifting ratings particularly at the low end.
Results also appear reasonable in relation to Ouse Bridge downstream, allowing
for attenuation. Mean daily flows have multiple ratings before weir
construction, one thereafter. For peak flows, ratings simplified to separate
(though similar) ratings before and after weir construction. Rated inbank by
current meter to approximately 2.6m and out of bank by hydraulic model.
Significant out-of-bank flow and hysteresis at the very largest events. Two peak
flow ratings across period of record. | No data after the 5th December
2015 due to rating changes during/following storm Desmond. Re-rating following
temporary closure ongoing. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Geology mainly Borrowdale
Volcanic series with Skiddaw Slates in the north and igneous intrusions east of
Keswick (e.g. Castlehead Dolorite, St.John's and Threlkeld Microgranite).
Boulder Clay overlies geology within the valleys of the north, with peat within
the upland areas. Land-use mainly grasslands along river valley with the
remainder heather and moorland. Catchment rises to the summit of Helvellyn. No
catchment changes known. | Regime affected by controlled releases from
Derwent Water and spill and controlled releases from Thirlmere reservoir. |

Non-standard shallow V weir gauging a natural, high relief catchment in the
northern Lake District. Flow record contains large gaps. | Opened April
1969 as a velocity-area station with gabion basket low flow control which was
prone to erosion and drowning. A non-standard 13m wide weir was built in 1986.
Non-standard shallow V concrete weir was constructed 1998, reduced by 0.2m in
2008. | Significant bypass flow on the right-bank floodplain from around
2.2m. Weir drowned at higher flows. Cableway present to measure in bank flows.
Three peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the pre-1998 rating is
a consolidation of multiple early ratings, the most recent is valid from July
2008 after lowering of weir. Top-end ratings are from hydraulic models. |
Station closed Jun 1981-Jan 1986, data quality poor pre-closure. Large gaps
are present in the daily flow series. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | High relief,
natural catchment in northern Lake District; broad main valley below 200m,
flanking fells exceed 700m. Geology principally Skiddaw Slates, with Borrowdale
volcanics on southern watershed and granite boss in the south. Extensive Boulder
Clay overlies the geology with alluvium within the river valley and peat on
upland reaches. Land-use rural and moorland. | No known artificial
influences on flow regime. |

Velocity-area station. Level only from 1999. Closed in December 2015 and
will be relocated to Riddings Wood upstream. | Velocity area station
opened March 1971. Station operated from 1999 as level only but was important
for flood forecasting and a rating was developed for high flows. Flood warning
site for Keswick. Massive channel changes through gravel deposition occurred at
the station during Storm Desmond on 05/12/2015. The gauging station also
sustained damage. A decision was made to relocate upstream to Riddings Wood,a
location that is expected to offer channel stability to enable the production of
reliable flows and will be less prone to damage during exceptional floods. |
Natural rock bar downstream acting as a control where the channel divides
and the gradient becomes steeper. Flows contained to the highest stage. There
was a permanent cableway, but confidence in high flow gaugings was low due to
high velocities and poor gauging section, and the cableway has now been removed.
Station was operated as level only from 1999 until 2015 and was no longer gauged
by current meter. However, the station remained important for flood forecasting,
had been gauged to a high level and hydraulically modelled, so a rating was
applied to high flows. Low flows below 0.5m after 1999 are flagged as "beyond
limit" (i.e the rating does not apply to low flows). Multiple peak flows ratings
applied, however only one shown which is the upper limb of all ratings. Low flow
re-rating adjustments are not shown. Rating derived by current meter to 2m with
hydraulic model results beyond. | In November 2009 there was some very
minor spill on left bank, and the stage trace had some oscillations, reflecting
the high velocities and unstable flow conditions. The peak flow in the December
2015 is uncertain due to significant gravel movement during the event; value
derived based on post-event survey. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Geology is
impervious Ordovician Skiddaw slates, Borrowdale Volcanics and some igneous
intrusions, covered with Boulder Clay below 200m. An entirely rural catchment,
rising to the summit of Helvellyn, with sheep farming predominating on the rough
pasture. The high ground is moorland. No significant catchment changes. |
Thirlmere Reservoir controls part of catchment - spills and regulation
releases. |

Non-standard compound Crump weir gauging an entirely rural catchment.
Downstream of Crummock water, low flows are mostly compensation flows. |
Non-standard compound weir with Crump centre section. Straight approach
upstream, uniform flow. Generally used in conjunction with 75004
Southwaite. | Stable rating to bankfull (1.215m); above this structure
completely drowned, flow over both banks (upstream bypassing on left bank above
0.8m). Low flows good. Pebble/gravel bed, with stone walls at either side. Walls
eroded and prone to flooding. No permanent cableway. The Cocker was modelled in
1997 (ISIS Hydrodynamic Model) as part of the River Derwent S105 Flood Mapping
Study in 1997; rating reviewed but not recalculated. Rated by current meter to
0.74m. | 29/10 - 7/11/97 data suspect due to vandalism and repair of
sluice gates at Crummock. | Entirely rural, heathland, moorland and rough
pasture over impervious Ordovician Skiddaw Slates and Borrowdale Volcanics.
Substantial outcrop of granitic intrusion. Drift covered to the elevation of
Crummock Water. Catchment contains Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater,
which run into each other. No catchment changes known. | Downstream of
Crummock Water, flow regulated, mostly compensation at low flows. |

Flat V weir gauging catchment with steep headwaters in the Uldale Fells.
Some abstractions and effluents with limited impact on runoff. | Flat V
weir (1:20 side slopes) 11m wide installed in 1975. Right bank 1.77 m high, left
bank 1.67m high. | Full range covered with stable rating; drowns above
0.63m. Some bypassing below road bridge, cutting off bend on left bank. Suffers
from slight accretion. It has been suggested that reductions in channel
maintenance in recent years have increased water levels. Permanent cableway, and
gauged above banktop (though only inbank). The photos include one taken during
gaugings in the November 2009 event, with significant water on both floodplains.
One rating applied across period of record - re-rated to take account of
floodplain flow (Peak Flows v12). Station rated by current meter to 1.92 m,
though out-of-bank flows are not included. Some scatter in the gaugings. |
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021
(WINFAP Files v10) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). Flows at end Sept
2023 missing due to dropout. | Steep headwaters drain Uldale Fells and
flow westward. Lower reaches follow the E-W trend of the Coal Measures with
Carboniferous Limestone to the south. Extensively overlain by Boulder Clay with
alluvium within the main river valley. No catchment changes known. |
Chapel House reservoir near the top of the catchment along with several
groundwater abstractions and discharges of sewage and industrial effluent impact
the flow regime somewhat however the impact is fairly small. Flashy runoff
regime. |

Most downstream station on the Derwent, opened to replace Camerton
(75002). | The station was built to replace Camerton which was destroyed
in the flood Nov 2009. Station added to peak flows dataset in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Levels at the station are subject to surging during
windy conditions which can impact levels by 20-30mm. Major floods such as
November 2009 and December 2015 have significant bypassing flows on the right
bank, which have been assessed by hydraulic modelling and comparison with
upstream stations. A cableway is installed and all gaugings are done at the
station. Control is Yearl Weir 300m downstream which incorporates two fish
passes and a broad crested weir section. An offtake sluice is located close to
the weir left bank which can be opened to aid fish passage with an effect on the
rating at low flows. One peak flow rating valid across period of record. |
Low flows are difficult to measure as velocities are very low. | The
river Derwent starts at Styhead Tarn beneath Scafell Pike and runs north through
the Borrowdale valley into Derwentwater then Bassenthwaite lake and eventually
joins the sea at Workington. Once it leaves Bassenthwaite it is joined by some
significant tributaries (Cocker and Marron). The catchment is predominantly
rural but many of the rivers and streams have been artificially straightened and
modified in the past. | |

Compound Crump weir gauging high relief, very wet catchment just downstream
of Haweswater reservoir. | Compound Crump weir from April 1978, side weirs
6.7m wide, with central weir 6m wide, 0.26m lower Replaced compound thin plate,
4 stage weir, 1961-1978 (21.3m wide overall with lowest crest 3m wide; paired
flanking crests 0.6m higher each 4.56 m wide, 1m higher (each 2.28m wide) and
1.25m higher (each 2.28 m wide) than the lowest. Previously velocity-area
station 1951-1961. | Downstream recorder added August 2005, which suggests
drowning reduces flows slightly above around 1m. Flow was measured just
downstream at Thornthwaite weir in the past. Peak flow rating valid from April
1978 when compound Crump weir was installed. Flood Studies Report grade A1. One
peak flow rating across period of record. | Peak flow data presented
solely for the compound Crump weir from April 1978. Some monthly naturalised
data available. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | High relief, very wet catchment draining
Ordovician Borrowdale Volcanics with igneous intrusions. Extensively peat
covered in the west with Boulder Clay and sands and gravels in the main valley.
Entirely moorland, heathland and rough pasture. No catchment changes known. |
500m downstream of Haweswater Reservoir which imports water from Lowther
tributaries and Ullswater. In dry years reservoir absorbs all flood flows. Flow
pattern reflects heavy abstraction and drawdown of Haweswater immediately
upstream, often compensation releases only. Measures compensation and overspill
only. Major exports to Shap aqueduct for public water supply. |

Velocity area station, replaced in 1996 by Great Corby (76017). |
Velocity area station, opened November 1959, channel width 40m. Station
replaced in December 1996 by Great Corby (76017). Closed June 1998. |
Cableway for high flows. Bypassed on left bank floodplain above 3.8m.
Seasonal weed growth very problematic in the later half of each calendar year
(May - December). 0.01m discrepancy between actual and recorded stage during
winter. One rating applied across period of record. Above bankfull rating limbs
based on hydraulic modelling. The highest gaugings do not include floodplain
flow. | Statistical analysis does not support merging of the flow records
of 76002 with 76017. | Large catchment with mixed geology. Horseshoe
shaped outcrop of Carboniferous Limestone forms south and east watersheds in
Pennines; lakes drain Ordovician Borrowdale volcanics. Main Vale of Eden is
Boulder Clay overlying Sherwood sandstone. Land-use variable; moorland to arable
with little urbanisation. No known catchment changes. | Very responsive
catchment, in spite of its comparatively large area. Catchment includes
Ullswater, Haweswater Reservoir and Wet Sleddale Reservoir. |

Velocity area station. Flows influenced by Haweswater and Wet Sleddale
Reservoirs. Ullswater has a significant effect on Eamont flows. | Velocity
area station, opened April 1961. | Permanent cableway 120m upstream of
recorder, historically wading downstream for low flows, but ADCPs used at
cableway for all flows. All flows contained. Badly affected by weeds throughout
the year, and significant bed erosion/deposition. Multiple low flow ratings. Two
peak flow ratings in period of record, based on gaugings with modelled top end,
the most recent valid from January 2005. Good fit to gaugings. Flood Studies
Report grade A2. Site has not been gauged since December 2015 due to damage and
rebuild, and flows have been turned off since this time. | No data after
6th December 2015 due to impacts of Storm Desmond. High flow data quality good;
low flow quality dependent on weed growth (poor prior to Jan 2005). 1983 minimum
may have been eclipsed in 1984 (data under review). Naturalised monthly flows
1962-1965. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Two-thirds of the catchment drains Ordovician
Borrowdale Volcanics of peat moorland headwaters; broad band of Carboniferous
L'st in middle reaches; Coal Measures and Permo-Triassic s'st nearer thestation.
Extensive Boulder Clay in valleys and lower reaches. Land-use mostly grazing. No
catchment changes known. | Flows are influenced by Haweswater and Wet
Sleddale Reservoirs, which control 10% of the catchment and result in a gradual
recession; response can nevertheless be quick. Haweswater impounded 1930s, level
raised by 29m; Wet Sleddale impounded later 1940s. The catchment also contains
Ullswater, which affects 37% of the area. |

Velocity area station gauging rural catchment including Haweswater and Wet
Sleddale reservoirs. | Velocity area station, opened 1962, channel
approximately 15m wide, with open channel control (gravel bed). In-river sensor
added July 2013 to monitor well performance. | Permanent cableway.
Affected by seasonal weed growth. Spill onto right bank above around 2.1m. Site
of gauging station was landscaped in 1988, resulting in a deepening of the
channel. Original station building rebuilt July - October 1973; possible change
in datum. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Gauged
inbank to above bankfull, with modelled rating including floodplain flow at the
top end. Flood Studies report grade B. | Some gaps in the early flow
record. Monthly naturalised flows from 1962-1965. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Majority of the catchment drains Ordovician Borrowdale Volcanics of the peat
moorland headwaters. The centre of the catchment is dominated by a broad band of
Carboniferous Limestone followed by Millstone Grit and Permian Sandstone close
to the gauging station. Extensive Boulder Clay in the valleys and lower third of
the catchment. Land-use mostly grazing. No catchment changes known. |
Strongly influenced by Haweswater and Wet Sleddale reservoirs, which
naturally control approx. 26% of the catchment, although the actual proportion
may be much higher (approx. 60%) due to diversions from Lowther
tributaries. |

Velocity area station with rock bar then shallow V bed control, gauging a
largely rural catchment. | Velocity area station opened in 1964 with a
rock bar downstream acting as hydraulic control. Non-standard shallow V bed
control constructed in 2002 to stabilise the gravel bed. | Severe summer
weed growth has required numerous rating changes in the past, but has been
controlled in recent years. Left bank raised after 1968 flood. Before May 1995,
floods above 3.3m inundated wide floodplain on left bank. Both banks then raised
to 4.2m to contain the previous highest flood, and station hut rebuilt on top of
the new bank. Floods cause considerable scour and erosion. Two peak flow ratings
applied across period of record, before and after the January 2005 event.
Ratings derived from gaugings and hydraulic modelling to include bypassing. |
Digitised flow data in the early record (pre-1975) is either missing or
estimated, with significant editing to the stage record; chart data are
retained, but peak flows rejected as consistency is uncertain. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Catchment is rural except for Appleby and Kirkby Stephen. Geology
of Boulder Clay covering Permo-Triassic sandstone in main valley; supports
arable farming. Headwaters drain Carboniferous Limestone with rough grazing.
Moorland on highest ground. No large waterbodies. No catchment changes
known. | Sewage discharge downstream of Appleby affects low flows. |

Velocity area station, the furthest downstream on the River Eden. |
Velocity area station opened 1967 in a deep, slack section. River
approximately 35m wide at gauging section. | Permanent cableway.
Full-range. Most floods contained in immediate channel, significant bypassing on
left bank, more so before 1970, when floodbanks constructed. However, post-1970
major floods, such as Storm Desmond still have very significant bypassing and
floodplain flow. Inlet may block at high flows - extended c2013. Gravel movement
around downstream bridge and weed growth may affect low flows. Periodic
recalibration. Multiple ratings consolidated pre-1993 to remove extrapolation of
the effects of weed growth and gravel movement into the peak flow range. Two
peak flow ratings therefore applied across period of record derived from current
meter gaugings, the most recent is applied after storm Desmond. | A new
rating from December 2015 (storm Desmond) onwards was implemented in January
2019. However, peak flows are thought to be underestimated by 5 - 15% and a
further rating review is in progress. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Rural catchment
except for Carlisle, Penrith and Appleby. Headwaters in Carboniferous Limestone
of Pennines to east, impervious Lower Palaeozoics of Lake District massif to
west; moorland. Extensive Boulder Clay covered Permo-Triassic sandstone in Vale
of Eden. Land-use: arable and grazing. No significant catchment changes. |
Mainly natural catchment, but contains some large settlements (Carlisle,
Penrith) and reservoirs (Haweswater, Wet Sleddale). Reservoirs control 2% of
catchment naturally, though actual proportion may be higher as Haweswater
collects water from Lowther tributaries. Flows influenced by these, especially
at low flows. |

Velocity area station with non-standard shallow V weir. | Velocity
area station with non-standard shallow V weir (2m wide in the direction of flow)
installed between February and August 1975. Originally (1967-1975), had a
plastic pipe control that was effective over most of the flow range. |
Permanent cableway. The present shallow V control is insensitive at low
levels but retains control in reasonably high flows. Thought to be affected
sometimes by high levels in the River Eden. Floodplain flow occurs at very high
flows. One peak flow rating applied across period of record that accounts for
bypassing. Upper limb of rating developed by hydraulic modelling. Flood Studies
Report grade B. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Tributaries rising in the
Pennines are short, steep and flashy through heather and moorland cover. Solid
geology dominated by Carboniferous L'st - outcrops on steep slopes. Extensive
hill peat, Boulder Clay, and glacial sands and gravels. Land-use is moorland to
arable. Some urbanisation in villages and Brampton town. Afforestation began in
the 1950s, peaked in the 1970s and, by 2000, constituted almost 20% of the
catchment. | Medium-high flows can be affected by backing-up from the
Eden. Moderately affected by Castle Carrock Reservoir and associated public
water supply abstractions from the River Gelt, which controls <1% of the
area. |

Velocity area station with thin plate rectangular notch weir as control.
Station closed 2014. | Opened December 1969. Velocity area station with
thin plate rectangular notch weir as control, 10m wide (nearly full width of
channel). Weir notch full at 0.7m. River Petteril joins the Eden 0.7 km
downstream of station. Station closed in 2014, replaced by Newbiggin Bridge
(76020). | Permanent cableway. The river bed is very silty and requires
the stilling well to be flushed regularly. Some leakage beneath the weir which
may affect low flows. The weir is good for medium and high flows, overtopping
the right bank at 1.3m although there is not significant bypassing flow. Weed
growth affects rating (severely in 1973 and 1974). One peak flow rating applied
across period of record. Upper limbs of rating developed by hydraulic
modelling. | Accuracy of December 2010 flows affected by freezing
conditions. | Long, thin catchment rising in moorland W of Penrith,
flowing north to Carlisle. Carboniferous Limestone in headwaters; the remainder
is Millstone Grit and Penrith Sandstones covered with Boulder Clay and valley
gravel. No significant catchment changes. | Natural catchment with no
known artificial influences. |

Compound V notch and broad-crested weir in experimental catchment to study
afforestation. | Opened in 1965 as a compound Crump profile weir, 18.5ft
wide overall, central notch 2.5ft wide with flanking crests 1ft higher & 7ft
wide. Structure was affected by deterioration leading to its replacement by a
compound broad-crested weir (with V-notch for low flows) in 1991. Small
experimental catchment (with boundary ditches) to show the effects of
afforestation from planting to canopy closure. Experiments jointly managed by
EA, CEH and the Forestry Commission. Central climate station and areal rainfall
derived by CEH using a small network of within-catchment raingauges. Record
exceeds 40 years in length; a time series of major strategic importance. |
Weir does not drown at high flows. Two theoretical ratings (for Crump and
broad-crested weirs) applied across relevant periods of record. Temporary rating
prior to reopening in 1991 not held. Ratings checked against current meterings,
but site has never been check-gauged at extreme flows. Difficulties in gauging
at high flows, therefore a gauging platform was built 30m upstream where flow is
confined and there is reasonable approach. | Recent gaugings suggest that
peak flows may be underestimated by up to 10%, and that further investigation is
required. Exceptional August 1975 flood (triggered by 70-80 mm rain; percentage
runoff approached 70%) was fully contained. Three extended periods of missing
data in the peak flow record; Oct 1972 to July 1973, Dec 1983 to July 1991
(station rebuild) and June to Aug 2019 (telemetry rebuild). Data affected by the
station rebuild are rejected. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Undulating upland catchment
on Carboniferous L'st with Boulder Clay and blanket peat cover. Usage was
entirely moorland before being afforested. | Natural, very responsive
regime with near zero flows common in the summer months and no abstractions or
additions. Drained summer 1972 in preparation for planting, creating stream
density of about 200 km/km2 (about 60 times greater than original stream
network). Sitka spruce planted 1973. Runoff (especially low and moderate flows)
calculated to have increased after drainage; baseflow index also increased. |

Compound broad-crested weir, the highest gauging station on the River Eden.
Gauges a high relief, natural catchment. | Non-standard compound
broad-crested weir, built in 1971 to stabilise the bed and act as a low flow
control. In 2007 extensive revetment works on left bank were carried out to
prevent bank slippage into channel; weir repaired in 2008. | Gravel bed,
good parallel approach. Crest corrosion a problem prior to addition of iron
crest. Insensitive at low flows. Structure drowns and modest bypassing occurs at
highest flows (some gauged evidence of its magnitude). Low flows gauged by
wading; cableway measures higher flows. One peak flow rating applied across
period of record. Rated by gaugings to 2.5m. Slight alterations and repairs to
weir between 2nd May and 19th June 1989, with no significant change to
rating. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | High relief catchment draining
Carboniferous Limestone which forms most of the watershed. Middle reaches
floored by Permian Sandstone. Hill peat and moorland, variable Boulder Clay
cover. No catchment changes known. | Natural catchment with no known
abstractions or returns. |

Compound Crump weir gauges outflows from Ullswater. | Compound Crump
weir just downstream of Ullswater, constructed in 1970, although no records
until 1976. Weir is 29.3m wide with all crests 9.1m wide, the centre being 0.55m
lower. | Bed consists of stone and gravel. Some bypassing and drowning at
the higher flows (see photos). Flows are measured in a section 200m upstream of
a sewage works outlet, carried out by wading until recent ADCP gaugings. Two
peak flow ratings applied across period of record derived from current meter
gaugings and hydraulic model. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). Ratings reviewed in
2022 and data reprocessed for full period of record. | Geology largely
Borrowdale Volcanics with Skiddaw Slates further downstream. Some Boulder Clay
cover. Sheep grazing on rough pasture predominates with some arable in lower
reaches, moorland on high ground. | Gauge is just downstream of Ullswater
and catchment includes several small tarns. Variable compensation releases.
Ullswater occassionally used for public water supply, via pumped pipeline to
Haweswater Reservoir. Temporary weir installed at the outlet of Ullswater to
raise lake levels to facilitate abstraction under Drought Orders of 1989 and
1995/6. |

Non-standard compound Crump weir gauging responsive catchment. Ullswater has
a significant effect on Eamont flows. | Non-standard compound Crump weir.
Was designed as a multifunctional station to also allow and count fish
migration, and has 1:2 upstream slope, 1:7.3 downstream slope. Side sections
approx 14.5m wide, central low flow section 1.458m wide with crest 0.5m below
side weirs. Opened December 1996 to replace Warwick Bridge (76002). |
Until 1999, surging was a serious problem at this site, especially when
gauging high flows. Baffles fitted and surging was reduced. Two peak flow rating
applied across period of record, the most recent following storm Desmond. Rating
for low and medium flows derived from gaugings, high flows from hydraulic
modelling. | December 2010 daily flows may have been affected by freezing
conditions. Period of overlap with Warwick Bridge shows good correlation at high
flows. Surge was noted in the well between April 1997 and July 2002 and data
marked as rejected. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released
in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). Statistical analysis does not support
merging of the flow records of 76002 with 76017. | Large catchment with
mixed geology. Horseshoe shaped outcrop of Carboniferous Limestone forms south
and east watersheds in Pennines; lakes drain Ordovician Borrowdale volcanics.
Main Vale of Eden is Boulder Clay overlying Sherwood sandstone. Land-use
variable; moorland to arable with little urbanisation. No significant catchment
changes. | Responsive catchment, with flows influenced by Ullswater and
Haweswater and Wet Sleddale reservoirs, and abstractions. |

Non-standard timber weir gauging a rural, natural catchment. | A
non-standard V weir constructed from timber in March 1999, 12m across, anchored
to the sandstone bed. | The control is quite insensitive for lower flows
and drowns at around 0.34m, but is good for medium to high flows. Pressure
transducer used. High flows are controlled by the bridge downstream. Station hut
floods in extreme events but still records. During the very highest flows there
has been limited spill around the bridge. Rating developed from gaugings, with
modelled top-end. Stable rating history. | Water year 1998/1999 rejected
due to likely underestimation of true AMAX. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Rural
catchment. Roe Beck drains upland hills in south west, joined by the flatter
River Iver draining the south east. Bedrock is a mixture of mudstone, sandstone
and limestone, with extensive cover of boulder clay. No catchment changes
known. | Responsive catchment. No artificial influences known. |

Velocity area station with non-standard shallow V weir. Gauges a steep,
natural catchment. | Velocity area station with non-standard shallow V
weir, 30m across constructed July 2000. | Originally, an island 15m
upstream of the weir caused slack water on the left bank, and then slowly
encroached onto the weir; improvements have been made. The far bank suffers from
vegetation which needs clearing to aid high flow gaugings. In spite of this,
generally a good station, and gaugings by cableway extend to high flows with
little scatter. Three peak flow ratings across period of record, good fit to
gaugings across stage range. | Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Steep
catchment, combined with local limestone gives a very rapidly rising stage. No
known catchment changes. | No artificial influences known. |

Velocity area station in a predominantly rural catchment draining from
Scotland into NW England. | Full-range velocity area station in a
sandstone channel. Station closed March 2004. | Permanent cableway. Higher
flows spilled onto a berm, with bankfull above this. Gauging from cableway could
include flow above berm, but few high flow gaugings. Gravel extraction 1.3 km
d/s caused drop in levels in 1973, so station rebuilt July-October 1973, with
change in datum. New stilling well in 1974 as inlet pipes were dried during low
flows. High flow gauging difficult because flashy catchment. Stepping stones
placed in channel in January 1990 have since affected lower flows. Rating
derived from gaugings. Scatter in low flow gaugings, with a number of ratings to
cover these changes at low flows, but not valid at high flows. Rating 06 applied
up to 1973 & rating 26 after to fit the few higher gaugings. Rating affected
by regrading of natural control after high flows and gravel abstractions
downstream. Flood Studies Report Grade A1. | | Catchment comprises
Silurian rocks with igneous intrusions in north, Carboniferous Limestone in
centre, and Permo-Triassic succession in the south. Widely blanketed by Boulder
Clay. Rural catchment, heavily forested in the north, arable in the south.

Velocity area station on the River Esk. | Velocity area station
located on straight reach with natural channel control. Cableway. |
Historic station notes describes erosion possibly linked to gravel
extraction down stream. There have been a number of datum changes through the
station history. Well gauged up to QMED with confidence in the flows up to
around 370 cumecs. Larger events are out of bank and can link up with the nearby
Liddel Water during extreme events, also with the possibility of variable
backwater effects as the confluence with the Liddel Water is 1.2Km downstream.
Multiple peak flow ratings across the period of record. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7)
and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Natural upland catchment area
around Eskdalemuir. Mostly impermeable bedrock with approx. 2/3 superficial
deposits. Upper Carboniferous Coal Measures in lower reaches, dominated by Upper
Silurian shales, silts and mudstones. Landuse predominantly rough grazing with
more than a third forestry. Minimal floodplains. No significant catchment
changes known. | Storage or impounding reservoir, Black Esk Reservoir.
Impounds about 1% of flows for export for public water supplies. |

Velocity area station in Liddesdale, southern Scotland. | Velocity
area station with cableway on straight gravel bedded reach. | Gravel shoal
gives low flow control. A railway viaduct downstream will contribute to the
control during higher events along with other factors. Floodplain inundation
about 2km downstream occurs during extreme events where the Liddel joins the Esk
and backing up effects may be a factor at Rowanburnfoot. Larger floods overtop
right hand floodbank, bypassing is known to start between 3 and 3.5m - this is
not gauged. Two peak flow ratings across period of record. The first rating is
based on gaugings and extrapolated above (with low confidence in these flows).
Second rating developed following bank repair work in 2011, based on fewer
gaugings and again low confidence in extrapolated flows. There is limited
confidence in flows above QMED. The suitability of the Peak Flow record has been
temporarily downgraded from QMED to Neither, until the calibration for flood
estimation is fully understood and revised. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). |
Silurian shales, often with peat cover, form the hills; Lower Carboniferous
series overlain by Boulder Clay in the valleys. Coal measures with some Silurian
in headwaters. Landuse mainly dairy and hill farming with some forestry. Minimal
floodplains. No significant catchment changes known. | Natural flow

Velocity area station on the River Nith. | Velocity area station. |
Cableway present. Straight approach with sharp bend (with gravel bar) 150m
below station which probably controls higher flows. Shallow section with gravel
bed. Narrow floodplain on left bank, more extensive on right. Ratings derived
from current meter gaugings. Highest known gauging 4.2m (about 1.1 QMED). High
flows calculated by simple extrapolation. Ratings are well gauged from 2 to 200
cumecs. Historic high flow gaugings to almost 500 cumecs provide a good fit to
rating. High flow events e.g. November 2009 thought to have remodelled low flow
control; new ratings produced as a result. | Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). |
Silurian shales and mudstones. Coal measures at the top of the catchment.
Patches of granite. Land use: hill pasture with mixed farming in the valley
bottom. Minimal floodplains. No significant catchment changes known. |
Afton Res. has a minor influence on the flow regime. Public water supplies
in catchment - limited influence. |

Velocity area station with a natural flow regime. | Velocity area
station with cableway, channel approximately 15m wide. Prior to 1981 an open
channel station. Fairly straight gravel bedded reach. | Well confined
reach for all but extreme flows. Control of pre-cast concrete sections installed
during winter of 1986/87 replacing earlier 1981 gabion control. Rating applied
since 17/01/2003 is based on gaugings between 0.1 and 35 cumecs; historical
gaugings provide confidence in rating up to 130 cumecs. From current meter
gaugings - highest gauging at 2.6m (0.9 QMED). The changes to the control in
1986/87 are unlikely to have significantly affected the high flow performance.
However, the peak flow estimates pre-01/10/1981 have been temporary excluded as
the rating applied does not represent the channel state before the gabion weir
was built on 10/08/1981. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files v11). | Natural upland
catchment. Silurian shales and mudstones with some overlain by superficial
deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Land use: predominantly pasture with some wood
cover in the headwaters (conifer plantation with contour ploughing). Minimal
floodplains. | Natural regime. |

Velocity area station, lowest on the River Cree. | Velocity area
station with cableway located on long, reasonably straight, gravel bedded
reach. | Channel with gravel control 50m downstream pre-1997. Rating
changed around 1997 coincided with the time of building of boulder groynes 75m
downstream. A footbridge was also built in the same location in 1998 and the
vertical concrete supports creates a constriction that will be a significant
control factor at higher flows. Bridge was removed in November 2016 after being
damaged in the 2015 flood but the bridge supports remain in place and continue
to act as a control during floods.The bridge is to be reinstalled at a higher
level. Multiple peak flow ratings across the period of record. Advised
extrapolation is 10% above the highest gauged flow in each rating period. The
post-1997 rating is based on gaugings up to 3.45m (280.98 cumecs rated flow).
This gauging was above bank full (3.3m), but the out of bank flow component was
insignificant. AMAX1 reached 4.1m and the out of bank flow component may have
been more significant. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Natural catchment with a few
small lochs, moorland and forestry. Impermeable bedrock with approx. half
overlain by superficial deposits. Silurian shales for much of the catchment.

Velocity area station on the River Girvan. Flows affected by abstractions
from Loch Bradan. | Velocity area station approx. 15m wide. | Low
flow control is an informal gravel weir built in 1982, which is subject to
re-grading in substantial floods. Flood banks contain all flows (pre-1982, right
bank inundated beyond 2.2m). Peak flow ratings from current meter gaugings.
Rating for period up to 1982 max gauging 2.2m (about 0.9 QMED); post-1982 max
gauging up to 1.9m (about 0.7 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Gaugings to
1982 show scatter; may suggest a changing relationship. | Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2022 (WINFAP Files

A velocity-area station downstream of the Muirhead and Camphill
Reservoirs. | River section 0.8km d/s of Dalry. Station added to peak
flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | After a long period
of closure, the station was reopened on 21/11/2014 to inform flood management.
The new station infrastructure is situated on top of the original station
plinth. The station is gauged up to 2.657m, with a measured flow of 57.7 cumecs.
The rating has been extended by flow modelling to increase the confidence of
flood estimation. The new station has a different datum from the original
site. | | | Runoff substantially reduced by PWS exports from

Velocity area station. Flows modestly affected by HEP scheme. |
Velocity area station (approx. 20m wide) in a long straight reach. There is
a flood bank on the lb and retaining wall on the rb. | The low to medium
flow control is an informal broad-crested weir. At higher flows when the weir
drowns out, natural channel features will become more prevalent including some
sharp bends in the river downstream. Old Howford Bridge 1.5k downstream may be a
influential control feature at very high flows. All flows are contained in the
channel. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to 1.5m and
are based on simple extrapolation beyond this stage. | Missing data during
May 2021 due to weir collapse. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | A catchment of rugged
topography draining W from Southern Uplands. Complex bedrock - Carboniferous
sediments and igneous outcrops dominate; extensive superficial deposits (mostly
Boulder Clay and peat). Hill grazing is the main land use; some forestry. No
significant catchment changes known. | A responsive, natural catchment but
the flow pattern is modestly affected (esp. at low flows) by the operation of a
small HEP scheme 1km u/s. Some open cast mining in upper areas. |

Velocity area station in a very responsive, natural and mostly upland
catchment. | Velocity area station; approx. 15m wide. | Rock/boulder
control (may be subject to erosion/accretion) plus a thin-plate weir in the mill
lade (Langholm B, local no. 140, station level 84.17mOD; closed 1990). Combined
flows are archived. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to
1.93m (about 0.5 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. | Flows from Jan 2002
reprocessed in 2012. Icing evident in hydrograph 1-14/1/2011. | A mostly
upland catchment developed, mainly, on Carboniferous sediments (chiefly Coal
Measures) and igneous formations; extensively overlain by superficial deposits.
Hill grazing is the major landuse with some forestry. No significant catchment
changes known. | Very responsive, natural catchment (open cast mines and
minor effluent discharge close to the station). |

Velocity area station with bank stability issues since March 2011. |
Velocity area station approx. 30m wide. | Rock bar/bridge debris
control - channel control at high flows. All flows contained. Peak flow ratings
derived from current meter gaugings up to 3.8m (about 1.5 QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. | Flows since March 2011 not currently held on the
NRFA due to bank stability issues. | Generally upland catchment but
topography more subdued below Greenholm. Bedrock predominantly Carboniferous
sediments with basalt tracts towards headwaters. Extensively overlain by
superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay with peat in the headwaters. Land use:
mixed farming and hill grazing; some forestry in the upper catchment. Kilmarnock
(12km u/s) is the only large urban area. | A responsive, sensibly natural
flow regime (but affected by effluent from STW). In the near future there is a
comprehensive flood prevention scheme planned. |

Velocity area station, lowest on the River Ayr. Winter icing can affect
flows. | Velocity area station approx. 30m wide located in a long straight
section. Very steep banks (approx. 6m); most flows contained - overspilling
occurs on lb. | Channel control. Rating derived from current meter
gaugings up to 3.6m (about QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Lower end of
ratings (<0.615m) recalibrated in 2006 as gaugings since 2001 showed flows
were being slightly overestimated. | December 1981 flows may be affected
by ice build-up and are under review. Severe icing in December 2010 led to ice
floes in river and stage increase of c.1m at station - flows are estimated.
Flows since Jan 2000 reprocessed in 2012. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Catchment
topography approx. 2/3 lowland and 1/3 upland. Complex bedrock geology;
Carboniferous sediments (chiefly Coal Measures) dominate, but some igneous
formations and Permian sandstones in upper reaches. Extensively overlain by
superficial deposits (mostly Boulder Clay and peat). No major urban centres.
Hill grazing and forestry in upland headwaters, mixed farming in lowlands. No
significant catchment changes known although previously mined for coal. |

A velocity-area station in a linear, mostly lowland catchment. |
Velocity area station with a wide floodplain. | Cableway (in a
straight reach) used for rating. Broad-crested masonry weir as control.
Insensitive at low flows; algae can accumulate on crest and cause flow drops on
removal (e.g. June 2008 and June 2009). | A new fish pass was installed in
2018 causing a datum change. | A linear, mostly lowland, catchment.
Impervious basalts dominate the headwaters, Carboniferous sediments below; with
significant cover by superficial deposits. Land use: predominantly grassland,
some forestry and agriculture. Loch Libo, in the upper reaches, has little
effect on flows. | Very responsive flow pattern. |

Velocity area station. | Some control from a bridge 30m d/s. Various
temporary controls have been sited in the river following the removal of an
earlier weir (Jul 1982). Calibration checked regularly. Lack of gaugings since

A velocity-area station in a very responsive catchment with stage
measurement uncertainty since August 2009. | A velocity-area station. |
River section with long round-crested masonry weir (with central rectangular
notch) acting as the control. All flows contained. Exceptionally high tides may
influence water levels. No gaugings below 0.6 cumecs and weir deterioration
means that flows below 2.0 cumecs should be treated with extreme caution. Stage
measurements are subject to further uncertainty since August 2009 due to issues
with subsidence and vandalism. | | Rugged upland headwaters (peat
and Boulder Clay overlying igneous formations), mostly Carboniferous sediments
covered by superficial deposits in lower catchment. Mainly rural with
urbanisation along main valley at Kilbirnie, Dalry and Kilwinning; some
forestry. | Very responsive catchment notwithstanding several reservoirs
(including Muirhead and Camphill) in the headwaters - small net diminution in
runoff. |

Broad crested masonry weir on the River Irvine. | Broad crested
masonry weir, diagonal to flow, approx. 15-20m wide. Originally, station
installed and maintained by Glenfield and Kennedy Works. Station taken over by
CRPB (now SEPA) on 14/04/1982. | The flood walls and banks are approx. 3m
high. All but very high flows contained. Pre-1982 ratings were derived by
hydraulic formulae with correction for drowning and skewness of weir and
checking against a few measurements. Uncertainty of rating curves (pre-1982)
above 113cumecs. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to
0.7m (about 0.3 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Rating accuracy not good at
low flows, reflected in occasional lower flows recorded than at Newmilns
upstream. | Bypassing known in the past via abandoned railway line (1932
and 1961 events). Peak flows rejected until 1982 because there was significant
influence by a very active sluice. | Mostly lowland catchment.
Predominantly Carboniferous and igneous bedrock, with localised ORS; extensively
overlain by superficial deposits (mainly Boulder Clay). Rural catchment with
forested areas in NE and urbanisation along main valley (Darvel, Newmilns,
Galston and Kilmarnock). Flood walls built approximately spring 1998. |

Velocity area station affected by vigorous seasonal weed growth. |
Velocity area station; approx. 20m wide. Station moved 300m u/s (from
Killermont) in 1962. | Low flow control was unstable gravel control 40m
d/s; replaced by gabion weir in Aug 1989. It was subsequently capped with
concrete and the upstream face lined with sheet piling, this was completed on
the Sept 1995. High flow control was a small island in mid-channel immediately
below station; now it is probably the channel bend d/s. The banks have contained
all recorded flows. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record derived
from current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. There is particularly
low confidence in the extrapolated flow due to likely backing up from the road
bridge downstream and resistance in the woody floodplain. | Some monthly
naturalised flows available (1970-74). Pre-1962 data is rejected because the
gauging station was moved 300m upstream. Very low confidence in the accuracy of
AMAX1 (1994) due to the exceptionally high magnitude; complex interaction with
wooded banks and possible backing up from downstream bridge. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files
v5). | Predominantly lowland catchment, some upland headwaters in the
Campsie Fells. The main channel runs along the northern edge of the Central
Lowlands taking tributaries from the faulted igneous block to the north -
remainder of catchment is chiefly Carboniferous sediments overlain by,
predominantly, Boulder Clay. Mixed land use - moorland, forestry and urban
concentrations. A number of small lochs. Notable floodplains. Flood prevention
schemes along the river (e.g. at Kirkintilloch, completed March 2003), more
projected in the future. | Extensive canalisation of river with the Forth
and Clyde canal draining through catchment; feeders probably only influence low
flows. Effluent return. Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reservoirs for PWS transit water
from Loch Katrine via pipelines, probably no effect on Kelvin catchment. |

Compound sharp-edged weir. Poor quality and patchy record. | Compound
sharp-edged weir approx. 20m wide. 7km above the river outfall to Castle Semple
Loch. Station closed in 1976. SEPA re-opened the station in Dec 1993 with main
purpose of pollution prevention and control; but the data is of poor quality.
Re-opened station closed in 2003. | U/s of station is a very active
gravel/silt bank. Limit of measurement 16cumecs; no information on hydrometric
performance. Theoretical rating (Lea rated). | Calder Reservoir was
breached in 1984, it controlled about 50% of the catchment. Very patchy record
but includes most of the 1950s-60s. | Carboniferous basalt on igneous
intrusions, overlain by Boulder Clay. Peat in some upland areas. Upland
catchment. Land use comprises of moorland and rough grazing. No significant
catchment changes known. | Very flashy response. Runoff reduced by major
u/s abstraction. |

Velocity area station in Southern Uplands. HEP upstream. | Velocity
area station; approx. 60m wide in a straight section. The cableway was destroyed
during a storm in 1998. | Natural bedrock control. Well calibrated. All
flows contained. Weed growth apparent in May to September affecting low flows.
Peak flow rating derived from current meter gaugings up to 3.6m (about 1.66
QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | Some monthly naturalised flows available. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Predominantly upland catchment. Catchment drains from the Southern Uplands.
Complex bedrock geology with Metamorphics and igneous rocks extensively
overlain, in the lower half of the catchment, by superficial deposits, mainly
Boulder Clay. Hill grazing is principal land use with some forestry and arable
lands. Sparsely populated except for Lanark 5km u/s. Minimal floodplains. No
significant catchment changes known. | Very minor net impact of artificial
influences (some naturalised data) but flow pattern is affected by operation of
u/s HEP station (Stonebyres Falls). Some small reservoirs in headwaters. Mining
can affect low to medium flows. |

Velocity area station on the Clyde draining the Southern Uplands. |
Velocity area station; about 15m wide section. Sited on a 200m straight
natural reach between two sharp opposing bends. Flows are straight at cableway
but there is some turbulence. Station transferred from SDD to Clyde RPB in Jul
1969. | Natural control. Low flow control is a riffle 30m d/s. At higher
flows the remnants of two old mill weirs around 800m and 1.2km downstream may be
influential. There is a five arch stone bridge 2.2km downstream that is likely
the primary control during very big events. Weed growth in summer affects low
flows. To date all flows contained. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter
gaugings up to 2.9m (measured flow of 346 cumecs, which is around 1.7 QMED),
with simple extrapolation beyond the highest gauging. | Peak flows from
October 1955. GDF from 1957. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13) | Upland catchment draining part of Southern Uplands, with several
small storage reservoirs in headwaters. Silurian and Ordovician sedimentary
rocks, approx. half of which overlain by superficial deposits, mainly Boulder
Clay and sands and gravels. Land use: rough grazing, improved pasture, moorland,
and afforestation. No significant catchment changes known. | Small storage
reservoirs and one larger reservoir that feeds South Lanarkshire. |

Velocity area station on River Clyde in the Southern Uplands. |
Velocity area station, about 60m wide. Velocity profile slightly uneven due
to u/s bend. Steep grass and tree covered banks. Station is subject to
vandalism, station burnt down Feb 1997, temporary logger installed (became
permanent). | Control formed by piers of redundant rail bridge 300 m d/s.
Less confidence in med-high flows than at Daldowie leading to occasional higher
peaks at Blairston. Recorder moved from opposite bank in 1974. Peak flow rating
derived from current meter gaugings up to 3.4m (1.8 QMED), just below max.
recorded stage, simple extrapolation beyond. | Rating change 01/07/1976
evident in flow pattern. Some monthly naturalised flows available (1958-1975).
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023
(WINFAP Files v12). | Predominantly upland catchment. Bedrock mainly
Ordovician s'sts and shales. Lowther Hills in S are Silurian L'st, other upland
areas Carboniferous basaltic lavas. The lower reaches of the catchment are
overlain by superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Land use is mainly hill
grazing and moorland on high ground, some afforestation; fruit farming in
valley. Rapid urbanisation in lower catchment. | Several upland
tributaries impounded for PWS. River hydropower schemes u/s of New Lanark;
however this scheme does not involve damming, abstraction or diversion so exerts
little or no influence on flow regime. |

Velocity area station. Station was closed in 1983 then re-opened in 1998 as
a level only station. | Velocity area station, about 12m wide. River
section 340m u/s of Inchbelly Bridge, Kirkintilloch. Station was closed in 1983
then re-opened in 1998 as a level only station. Removed from peak flows dataset
in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Natural control. Station is
affected by seasonal weed growth. Floods are contained within the banks which
are heightened to protect fairly extensive low lying areas upstream. Peak flow
rating derived from current meter gaugings up to 2.32m (0.5 QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. After dredging of river in 1976 rating was good fit, after
01/10/1979 however spot gaugings scatter substantially - no rating used from
then. | | Predominantly coal measures with some Dolerite and Basalt
intrusions. Lowland river with some upland tributaries rising from Campsie
Fells. Rough and improved pasture, some urban, small amount of forestry. No
significant catchment changes known. | Responsive regime. Some small
reservoirs and lochs in headwaters. Forth and Clyde Canal fed from some
reservoirs. |

Compound crump profile weir on the South Calder Water, closed in May
2010. | Compound Crump profile weir (centre: 3.7m, flanks: 13.4m).
Gradient sufficient to avoid drowning. Vandalism poses a problem. Station closed
May 2010. | All flows contained. Theoretical rating confirmed by low flow
gaugings up to 0.495m (about 0.06 QMED). Depositions u/s of right flank of weir
causing accretion of bank, intermittently dug out in the past. | |
Relatively subdued topography developed on sedimentary formations of
Carboniferous age (chiefly Coal Measures); predominantly overlain by superficial
deposits. Land use arable and pasture with some woodland and urbanised areas -
the gauging station is located in Motherwell. Large steelworks closed down in
mid-90s, hence less water abstraction at Ravenscraig. | Flow pattern
influenced by industrial abstractions and discharges - net import of water from
the Clyde. |

Compound Crump profile weir on Rotten Calder Water. | Compound Crump
profile weir (central crest: 1.8m, flanks: 4.9m). Occasional vandalism. Removed
from peak flows dataset in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | River
gradient obviates drowning. Tree debris is a problem and can cause blockage of
centre of crump weir. All flows contained. Theoretical rating confirmed by low
flow gaugings up to 0.2m (about 0.013 QMED). Data removed from peak flows
dataset because station not designed or operated for flood estimation as well as
problems with wood and urban debris in weir. | Data for 07/08/08-24/09/08
dubious due to weir blockage. | A mainly impervious catchment
(Carboniferous deposits predominate; Drift cover). Moorland and hill pasture in
the headwaters, some significant urban growth in the lower catchment (East
Kilbride). | Runoff augmented by sewage and industrial effluent. |

Velocity area station with complex water utilisation. | Velocity area
station; approx. 20m wide section in a straight reach of uniform cross-section.
Occasional vandalism. | Major flood defence works have been developed
through the White Cart catchment. In the first phase, three flood storage areas
were built in the upper catchment. This work started in March 2008 and were
completed in Autumn 2010. A second phase of the flood defence involved the
construction of flood defence walls along the White Cart in the Southside of
Glasgow upstream of Hawkhead Gauging Station. This work started in January 2009
and was completed in October 2011. | Complex water utilisation; some
monthly naturalised flows available (1963-74). Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). |
Predominantly lowland catchment. Carboniferous rocks (basalt in the
headwaters) dominate; greater than half overlain by Boulder Clay. Much of the
catchment is open pasture (with several small lochs) but the northern part is
heavily urbanised (Glasgow); some forestry. Notable floodplains. Development of
East Kilbride and Newton Mearns (suburban development). Flood prevention scheme
planned for the future. | Storage in the catchment with complex water

Velocity area station. Small influence of hydroelectric scheme at New
Lanark. | Velocity area station with cableway; approx. 50m wide section.
Lowest on the Clyde. | Natural channel control. Well calibrated. Bypassing
of flow can occur on right bank behind station hut at floods above 3.5m. These
flows are occasionally gauged from the ramp/walkway. Occasional vandalism and
problems with woody debris. There is a very large weir at Carmyle approximately
2.1km downstream from Daldowie that will likely act as a control at high flows
at least. The weir has a rectangular notch where a sluice gate would have been,
but is now permantly open. The piers of an old railway bridge and a tight bend
in the river may also be influential in the control during flood events.
Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. | Some monthly
naturalised flows available (1967-74). Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and in August 2024
(WINFAP Files v13). | Large catchment with upland headwaters. Mixed
bedrock geology - Ordovician (in the south) to Carboniferous with superficial
deposits, mainly Boulder Clay, below the headwaters. Hill pasture is the major
land use in the moorland headwaters with some forestry. Mixed farming and
urbanisation in the lower valley. In last 5 years, sewage of smaller towns, e.g.
East Kilbride, transferred to Daldowie STW. | Some reservoirs in
headwaters (Daer Reservoir). Small influence of hydroelectric scheme at New

ratings due to a datum shift of 3ft (0.914m) on 01/03/72. The pre 01/03/72
rating is based on gaugings up to 100 cumecs and a modelled out of bank segment
has been added. The post 01/03/72 rating is based on gaugings up to 200 cumecs,
with a modelled out of bank segment added. | Some monthly naturalised
flows (1964-74). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Predominantly upland catchment. Mostly
ORS and Carboniferous formations extensively overlain by superficial deposits;
mainly Boulder Clay with peat in the headwaters. Land use hill grazing,
moorland, rough and improved pasture, and some forest cover. No significant
catchment changes known. | Flashy response. Two small reservoirs in the
catchment but flow pattern remains responsive. |

Velocity area station in the low lying central valley of Scotland. Bypassing
occurs in largest events. | Velocity area station; approx. 30m wide river
section. Recorder sited in straight even reach where erosion has made banks very
steep. The river was canalised during last war and floodbanks made on both banks
from dredged material. Cableway installed in 1960 so no high measurements prior
to this date. From July 1998 maintained as level only station for flood warning
purposes. | The section is affected by weed growth and requires constant
attention. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to 3.5m
(about 1.1 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Bypassing at the very highest
flows is a significant problem with the rating. | Bypassing occurs in
largest events (e.g. Sep 1985, Dec 1994), overtopping at both banks. Flows
rejected from July 1998 because of the maintainance of the station as level only
for flood warning purposes. Via correlation with the downstream gauge 84001 the
highest recorded event is greatly underestimated at Dryfield. | Catchment
in the low lying central valley of Scotland. Upland catchments drain from the
Campsie Fells. Millstone Grit and coal bearing rocks of Carboniferous age
overlain by extensive Boulder Clay and sand and gravels deposits. Mixed land use
including farming, forestry, urban development and open cast mining. Flood
prevention schemes along the river at Kirkintilloch. | The river was
canalised during the last war downstream of Kilsyth. The Forth and Clyde canal
is influenced by feeder reservoirs at low flow. |

Velocity area station in a catchment with significant urban
development. | Velocity area approx. 8m wide section with compound
broad-crested weir, central low flow notch, about 8m wide. Cableway and weir
installed in March 1968. Occasional vandalism. | Bypassing occurs at the
very highest flows (e.g. Dec 1994). Once the weir drowns out, the higher flows
will be influenced by a wooden footbridge downstream that has a flat bottom at
bank level. This footbridge has been built sometime in the period of record.
Before the construction of the footbridge the higher floods will have been
controlled by the humpback stone road bridge further downstream. Peak flow
ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to 1.5m (about 0.9 QMED), simple
extrapolation beyond. Gauging evidence shows a large rating shift that has been
assigned an arbitrary date of 01/01/98. A review of the ratings and available
station records highlighted some historic operational issues at the site such as
slumping of the ramp gauge and poor quality gaugings. | Although the site
has been operational since 17/11/62, SEPA does not hold data prior to March 1968
and a note in the records suggest the pre 1968 data was of poor quality. Peak
flow data rejected pre-1998 due to issues with rating derivation described under
'Hydrometry'. | Lowland catchment. Predominantly Coal Measures with
intrusive basalt overlain extensively by Boulder Clay, some peat in the
headwaters. Much of the catchment is agricultural in character with significant
urban development in the north (Cumbernauld), and some forestry. No controlled
storages but significant local depressions and boggy areas. Housing development
encroaching on right bank floodplain d/s. | No abstractions in catchment.
Minor influences at low flows from open cast mining. The deep coal mines were
closed prior to station opening. |

Velocity area station. Flows significantly affected by operation of Castle
Semple Loch and Barr Loch (fed by Calder Water). | Velocity area station
about 27m wide. | Station has informal (dished) concrete low flow control
of length 26.52m and natural high flow control. Overtopping of rb can occur when
stage exceeds 1m. Peak flow ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to
1.1 m (about QMED), simple extrapolation beyond (stable rating). Problems with
winch resulted in bad gaugings in early 1990s. Multiple peak flow ratings across
period of record. | Flow control evident on the hydrograph trace, although
less obvious post 1980. Monthly naturalised flows available (1967-74). Site was
recalibrated back to 2001 during the 2010 review, mainly affecting low flows.
Station started operating on 10/01/1967, data reliable from 01/12/1967. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | Predominantly lowland, wet, catchment. Principally
impervious - Carboniferous basalt and igneous intrusions, overlain by Boulder
Clay. Peat in some upland areas, river gravel on floodplains. Rural land use,
urbanisation in valley; some forestry. No significant catchment changes
known. | Several lochs and reservoirs (e.g. Rowbanks) provide storage,

Velocity area station on the River Clyde. | Velocity area station;
approx. 60m wide. | Natural open channel control. Weed growth at low flows
affects the Clyde from May to September. Banks are likely overtopped during
extreme events. A major rating shift is applied on 18/10/2011, Pre 18/10/2011,
one flood segment is applied to various lower segments and is gauged up to
2.543m (measured flow of 372.4 cumecs) with simple extrapolation beyond. Post
18/10/2011, a new flood segment is applied to ratings, based on gaugings up to
2.230m (measured flow of 313.9 cumecs) with simple extrapolation beyond. The
reason for the change in flood control is currently unknown and the rating
change is based purely on gauging evidence. | Monthly naturalised flows
available (1969-1974). Flows from Jan 1978 reprocessed in 2013. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | The catchment ranges in height from 180-800m. Mixed geology -
ancient sedimentaries (ORS/Ordovician) dominate the headwaters; mostly igneous
formations below. Substantial superficial deposits. About one third is
cultivated, the remainder is hill grazing and moorland, with some forestry. No
significant catchment changes known. Small reservoirs in headwaters. |
Catchment includes a number of PWS gathering grounds from which the yield is
exported. |

Velocity area station in central lowlands east of Glasgow. | Velocity
area station; about 12m wide section. The recorder is sited in a river bend,
which creates a asymmetrical velocity profile. Outer bank is a steep cliff being
undercut by river. The inner bank is quite steep. | The station was built
with a broad crested weir in 1962, and then the weir was removed on 09/10/1972.
The datum was lowered by 2 feet on 01/04/1972; likely in preparation for the
weir removal. There is no rating archived that represents the datum and control
change between April and October 1972 and more investigation is required to
validate the details in this period. The cableway was removed due to landslip
and fallen tree on 24/07/1990. All flows are contained. The post 1972 rating is
derived from current meter gaugings up to 1.360m (measured flow of 25.5cumecs)
with simple extrapolation beyond. | No POTs between 1968 and 1973 and
during this period peak flows are lower than gauged daily flows. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | Lies in central lowlands east of Glasgow. Contains several small
storage lochs. Sedimentary rocks of Carboniferous age; approx. 95% of which is
overlain by superficial deposits. Land use: grassland, forestry, arable lands
u/s; extensive urban area d/s. No significant catchment changes known. However
changes in sewage discharges and abstraction policy of Scottish Water might have
occurred and would have an impact on low flows. | Many artificial
influences which mainly impact on low to medium flows. Contains several storage
reservoirs for canal supply. Monkland Canal drains through catchment and affects
low flows. Water is also exported to Forth & Clyde Canal. |

Velocity area station in a flashy catchment. | Velocity area
station. | Broad-crested weir with rectangular low flow notch acts as the
control (gaugings confirm the theoretical rating but significant structure
erosion evident - especially following the 1990 spates; reconstruction
scheduled). Breakpoint of low flow notch is at 0.36m and the structure is
drowned out at 1.5m. Peak flow rating derived from current meter gaugings up to
1.5m (0.8 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. To date all flows contained. |
Some monthly naturalised flows available (1970-74). | Catchment
topography is >1/3 lowland, <2/3 upland, draining the Campsie Fells.
Carboniferous series (principally the Scottish Carboniferous L'st) dominate the
bedrock - overlain by mixed superficial deposits. Sparsely populated. Landuse
mainly rough pasture and improved pasture in lower parts; some forestry. No
significant lochs or storages. No significant catchment changes known. |

Crump single-crested weir with flow pattern affected by motorway runoff and
STW effluent. | Crump (triangular profile) single-crested weir. No
gaugings available to verify rating above structure full. Removed from peak
flows dataset in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Flow contained over
the full range. There is some siltation behind the weir. Theoretical rating
confirmed by low flow gaugings to 0.18m (about 0.11 QMED). | Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | A small undulating catchment, containing three old mining
villages, developed on Scottish Carboniferous L'st overlain with superficial
deposits (approx. 80% Boulder Clay). Significantly urbanised with grassland,
pasture, wetlands and some forestry. Small lochs in the catchment headwaters.
Building of the M73 and M80 motorway (1970s). | Sensibly natural regime
but motorway (M73) runoff and STW effluent may influence flow pattern. |

Velocity area station in a catchment of mixed land use, some
urbanisation. | Velocity area station; about 10m wide. Station removed
from peak flows dataset in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Informal Flat
V triangular profile weir control. Some sign of weir undercutting in 1992, not
thought to affect flows. Two peak flow ratings derived from current meter
gaugings, pre- and post-Jan 1980. Both have spot gaugings up to about 0.5 QMED,
simple extrapolation beyond. | Most flows contained but some spillage in
flood conditions (e.g. Dec 1994). | Catchment is generally lowland and
undulating. Predominantly Coal Measures with some dolerite and basalt intrusions
extensively overlain by superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. Mixed land
use, farming, urban development and open cast mining. Urban development
(Cumbernauld) d/s of the station in late 1970s leading to a shift in channel
morphology. | Until 2003, sewage discharge to Bothlin Burn joining u/s of
station. |

A station to the south of Glasgow with rapid urbanisation in the lower
catchment. | Thin-plate damaged and removed in 1999. | Rectangular
thin-plate low flow notch in a broad-crested (V cross-section) weir.
Confirmatory gaugings not yet available for the full flow range. Good fall below
weir, flows remain modular. | Poor low flow gauging section, reflected in
occasional higher flows recorded than at 84012 (e.g. Jun 2010 HIF). |
Geology - mostly basaltic lava and Carboniferous L'st overlain with Boulder
Clay and river gravels along main river channel. Land use - predominantly
grazing but rapid urbanisation of lower catchment and upper catchment is
becoming forested. | Frequent flooding d/s of the gauge reflects flashy
nature of the river. There are several reservoirs and lochs within the
catchment. |

Velocity area station substantially regulated during summer. |
Velocity area station, about 35m wide. | Channel control at outflow
from Loch Lomond. No bypassing occurs. Two peak flow ratings for periods pre
& post-Jun 1982 due to datum change. From current meter gaugings: pre-1982
up to about QMED, post-1982 up to about 1.2 QMED, simple extrapolation beyond.
Stable rating but recalibration for low flows after erosion by 1990 floods. |
A problem with the gauging winch was identified, which means that all
gaugings between 1991-2000 should be viewed as suspect. Naturalised monthly
flows available (1963-74). | Large, wet, upland catchment with mountainous
headwaters, often snowy in winter. Bedrock geology dominated by ancient
metamorphic formations - overlain by superficial deposits in the west. The land
use is rough pasture and moorland u/s, improved pasture d/s, small amount of
arable land, some forestry. Several water bodies. The catchment outflow is
controlled by Loch Lomond (surface area 71sq.km). | Natural regime until
loch outfall control weir built in 1971, now substantially regulated during
summer. Barrage does not operate in winter, and does not affect high flows.
Three main lochs are located in catchment - Loch Sloy with a hydroelectric power
scheme, Loch Lomond with barrage (which may affect flow) and Loch Arklet. All
three provide a PWS. |

Velocity area station in an upland rural catchment, draining from the
Campsie Fells. Flows affected by export of water from Carron Res. into the Forth
system. | Velocity area station, approx. 28m wide. | Natural channel
control. Low and medium flows considered reliable but flood discharges are of a
lesser accuracy (due to overspill on to the lb floodplain above 3.6m and a
curved approach to the measuring reach). Peak flow ratings before and after
datum change in May 1981 derived from current meter gaugings. Pre-1981 gaugings
up to about 0.7 QMED, post-1981 up to about QMED, simple extrapolation beyond.
The rating changed in October 2008 following significant channel scour event
where gaugings up to 50cumecs showed considerable deviation from earlier
ratings. Multiple peak flow ratings across period of record. | Flows over
60 cumecs should presently be regarded with caution. Some monthly naturalised
flows available (1967-74). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | An upland rural catchment,
draining from the Campsie Fells, developed on ORS overlain with Boulder Clay;
large tracts of sand and gravel also. Land use: mostly moorland, rough grazing,
pasture; forestry and some limited cropland. No significant catchment changes
known. | Runoff is diminished by the export of water from Carron Res. into
the Forth system. |

Velocity area station in a very responsive, natural catchment. |
Velocity area station, approx. 35m wide. | Long broad-crested weir
(with rectangular notch) as low flow control - installed Feb 1975. Damage to
part of main crest results in a small discharge bypassing the central notch.
Very high flows above 2.4m could bypass station on either side. Peak flow
ratings derived from current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond.
Ratings reviewed in 2016. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). | Very wet, mountainous,
catchment draining southern slopes of Benn Oss and northern slopes of Beinn a
Chroin and Beinn Chabair, often snowy in winter. Developed on ancient
metamorphic formations with isolated outcrops of igneous intrusions
(impermeable). Peat deposits in upland areas. Small lochans in some headwaters,
but have little affect on flows. Land use mainly moorland and rough grazing with
small amounts of forestry. Minimal floodplains. No significant catchment changes
known. | Very responsive regime. No significant abstractions or
discharges. |

A velocity-area station near the shore of Loch Lomond with a very
responsive, natural regime. | Velocity area station. | Artificial
low flow control: broad-crested weir with low flow notch, slight damage to
centre section repaired in autumn 1992. Rating validated by gaugings from 0.15 -
5 cumecs, with historical gaugings to c.25 cumecs. However weir is now in poor
condition. | Numerous record gaps May 1983 - 1987 due to site access
issues. No daily flow data for January - June 2013 due to weir repairs. |
A very wet, mountainous catchment developed mainly on Dalradian schists,
overlain by Boulder Clay. Land use is mostly grassland. | Very responsive,
natural regime. |

Velocity area station in a compact, steep, mountainous catchment with a very
responsive flow regime. | Velocity area station; approx. 17m wide.
Cableway on site until 1988. | Compound artificial control (low flow
notch, broad-crested flanks). At high flows weir is drowned and control is
natural channel. All flows contained to date. Peak flow ratings derived using
meter gaugings up to 0.8m (about 0.3 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Based
on cableway spot gaugings up to 1988. | | A compact, steep,
mountainous catchment, often snowy in winter - very wet - developed on ancient
metamorphic formations; overlain by limited superficial deposits. Landuse mainly
forest and moorland. Minimal floodplains. No significant catchment changes
known, however ongoing forestry operations in catchment. | Natural flow
regime but catchwaters divert a small runoff volume to Loch Tarsan. Very
responsive flow regime. There are also some minor industrial and agricultural
abstractions. |

Velocity area station. Loch Eck dominates catchment. | Velocity area
station, about 28m wide. Station closed 31/05/98. | Riffle control for low
to medium flows. Natural channel control at high flows. All but major floods
were contained within the channel, but some bypassing on lb. The river channel
at the station had been significantly changing during the 1980s. Apparently
material had been dumped into the channel u/s to reinforce the river adjacent to
a caravan site. This was thought to have caused erosion of the far bank at the
station. Peak flow ratings derived using current meter gaugings up to 1.7m (0.8
QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. Ratings applied only until July 1991 due to
unreliable data thereafter. | 1990s flows under review. Some monthly
naturalised flows available (1970-74). | A very wet (mean rainfall may be
underestimated), steep-sided, mountainous catchment developed on ancient
metamorphic formations - some overlying superficial deposits. Mainly moorland
with significant commercial forestry. Loch Eck dominates catchment. No
significant catchment changes known. | The catchment contains Loch Eck, a
major PWS reservoir. |

A velocity-area station on the Carradale Water draining into Kilbrannan
Sound. | Velocity area station with natural control. | Natural
control. Rating in use from Oct 1995 - 01/12/2007 was based on ultrasonic
time-of-flight high flow gaugings between 1996-2003. Recalibration in 2009 (due
to drift in low flows) suggested rating shift around 2000; new rating was thus
created and has been applied from December 2007. Data from 2000-2007 are
therefore based on older rating despite possible shift. Both ratings are suspect
at high flows (probable underestimation) but the reason is unknown; more
gaugings are required. | | Low-lying catchment predominantly
forested (~70%) with impermeable bedrock. | Responsive catchment. |

Compound broad crested spillway weir, initially installed as part of Loch
Awe HEP programme. | Compound broad crested spillway weir, about 8m wide.
Initially installed as part of Loch Awe HEP programme. Removed from peak flows
dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | To date all flows
contained. Rocks which stand above bed level immediately d/s of the weir are
likely to result in rapid drowning of the weir in floods. Low flow ratings
derived using meter gaugings up to 0.7m (about 0.2 QMED). High flow rating
unconfirmed. Medium to high flow rating taken from theoretical rating inherited
from HEP (which was the first edition rating for the site). | The nominal
'normal maximum' flood is 144.7cumecs. | A very wet, mountainous, often
snowy in winter, linear catchment draining to Loch Awe. Bedrock geology:
predominantly Dalradian metamorphics with local occurrences of Dalradian L'st.
Almost half the catchment overlain by Boulder Clay. Landuse predominantly rough
grazing; some woodland cover. No significant catchment changes known. |
Flashy response. No significant artificial effects on the flow regime during
the early record. Generally natural regime. Possibly some water
abstraction. |

level rounded crest weir with wing walls. Initially installed as part of HEP
programme. | Relatively few gaugings have been taken and all at low flows,
down to c.0.3 cumecs. Only a single rating has ever been used and generally low
flows fit the rating well; accuracy lost progressively with floods above main
crest. | | Predominantly Dalradian metamorphics with intrusive and
extrusive igneous outcrops. Forested catchment (>50%) draining into Loch Awe.
Catchment dominated by presence of Loch Avich approx. 2km u/s. | |

A station in a steep catchment draining into Loch Awe. | Compound
weir. All but highest flows contained. Initially installed as part of HEP
programme. HEP station installed November 2005 with turbine flow bypassing the
station. | Low flows measured over a broad crest notch; high flows over a
long rounded crest with decreasing accuracy. No gaugings have been taken above 2
cumecs and high flows should be therefore treated with a degree of caution. |
Apr-Sept 1991 flows and runoff are anomalously high and should be treated
with caution. The bypassed flow is accounted for in the flow record except for
Aug 2007 - Mar 2009, where offtake data unavailable. | Predominantly
Dalradian metamorphics with igneous intrusions; approx. 40% overlain by Boulder
Clay. A steep catchment draining into Loch Awe. One of the most afforested UK
catchments (>60%). | No other artificial effects on flow regime. |

A station with a small upland catchment. | Crump weir (originally
installed for research purposes, now operated by SEPA). | Good low flow
calibration. Access problems create difficulties in establishing medium and high
flow rating; accuracy at high flows considered poor. | Missing data
25/08/14 - 08/20/2014 due to weir construction work. | A wet, mountainous,
catchment developed largely on Dalradian metamorphics (mainly schists, some
slate and phyllite). Peat in upland areas. Small upland catchment, partially
forested. | A very responsive, natural regime - no abstractions or loch
storage (but snow pack storage can be considerable). |

Velocity area station draining the southern slopes of Ben Nevis. |
Velocity area station; about 20m wide river section with boulder
control. | All flows contained. Difficulty in gauging low flows results in
a scattered low flow rating. Ratings derived from current meter gaugings up to
118 cumecs (about 0.95 QMED), simple extrapolation beyond. | Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files
v7). | Wet, steep-sided, high altitude catchment draining southern slopes
of Ben Nevis. No storage. Largely impermeable bedrock with approx. 1/3 overlain
by superficial deposits. Predominantly Moinian metamorphic with limestone and
granitic intrusions. Prolonged winter snow cover. Moorland, rough pasture, and
some forestry. No significant catchment changes known. | Very responsive
regime. Flows are largely natural although runoff from 6.7 sq.km of the
headwaters diverted to Loch Trieg for HEP and further d/s around 5% of Q95 is
abstracted for PWS. |

Station operated from 30/12/1969. Daily flows held from 1986, peak flows
from water year 2001. | Pillar Box hut with stilling well. New station
planned with cableway in 2018/2019. Station added to peak flows dataset in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). | Station gauged to wading limit. The
station has a pillar box hut with a stilling well and a natural channel control.
Added to the Peak Flows dataset in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) with QMED
indicative suitability status. This was updated to Pooling suitability in 2024
following a flood measurement in 2023. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | The wading limit for gauging is around 0.6m and high flow
gaugings have been carried out using ADCP instruments upstream of the station.
One peak flow rating is applied through the period of record. A stationary
upward looking acoustic instrument was installed for a period in 2023 and this
measured a large flood on 21/08/23. This measurement validated the flood rating
and improved the confidence in the estimation of higher flood events. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP
Files v13). | | |

Velocity area station in north west Scotland. Flow regime dominated by Loch
Maree. | Velocity area station, 50m wide. | Stable (rock armoured)
control which has been modified infrequently resulting in re-calibration of low
flows. Right bank has been modified by fisheries proprietors (about 3 times)
without affecting the control. To date all flows contained. Rating from current
meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Peak flow rating revised in 2016,
with one rating applied across period of record. | Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data
between 1972 & 1982 was digitised in 2016. | Mountainous headwaters,
often snowy in winter. Very wet, mountainous catchment developed largely on
ancient metamorphic formations (Lewisian Gneiss and Torridonian Sandstone).
About a third overlain by superficial deposit. Typical Highland land use with
rough pasture and moorland and some tree cover. No significant catchment changes
known. | Slow responding. In excess of 95% of the catchment drains through
Loch Maree (surface area 30 sq km) which dominates the flow regime. Low to
medium flows from 3% of the upper catchment diverted to Conon hydro scheme. |

Velocity area station. Low flow regime can be affected by Loch Assynt gate
operation. | Velocity area station, about 30m wide. | Completely
contained river section with adequately gauged stable calibration in excess of
MAF. Rock control. To date all flows contained. Rating derived from current
meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Peak flow rating was revised in
2003 and a new single rating for peak flows only was judged to be suitable for
the whole period of record. Rating reviewed in 2016. | Very low flows in
May/June 1998 and April 2002 due to gate operations at Loch Assynt. Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files
v5). | Mountainous headwaters, often snowy in winter. Predominantly
Lewisian gneiss with Lewisian basic rock intrusions; some superficial deposits.
Catchment is rough grazing and moorland with many lochans, of which Loch Assynt
dominates (surface area 7.9 sq km). No significant catchment changes known. |
Flow regime completely natural except for occasional operation of gates for
fisheries purposes which mainly influence low flows. The gates are immediately
u/s at outlet to Loch Assynt (surface area: 7.9 sq.km) and can result in very
low flows. |

Velocity area station gauging a natural catchment with some small
lochs. | The station was built in 2008 to improve the network coverage of
catchment typologies. The catchment type was identified as being poorly
represented and is a relatively small catchment with a natural flow regime.
Station added to peak flows dataset in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7). |
The station is built in a straight reach that runs through flat peat bog
after descending from the steeper uplands. The flows are nearly all contained.
There is a modern concrete lined road bridge 60m downstream that acts as the
control and although higher events will be out of bank at the station, all flows
pass though the downstream bridge section. A constant flood segment is applied
to all ratings though the period of record. Low end rating shifts are caused by
episodes of deposition and erosion of bed material in the reach of the bridge
control. No cableway. Gauged to 1.060m with a measured flow of 7.508 cumecs.
There is good confidence in flows within the gauged ranged, which is just below
the QMED figure. | Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Natural catchment with small
lochs. Mountainous with rough grazing, moorland and peat bog. Partly limestone
geology. | Natural flow regime. |

Velocity area station in natural and very responsive catchment. Some
headwater storage. | Velocity area station, about 30m wide. |
Boulder and gravel control, can be subject to change in big events. Gauged
down to 0.15 cumecs. Extreme low flows measured 2 km d/s at a more suitable site
for wading (catchment area increase: 7 sq.km). All flows contained to date.
Scatter in gaugings through the flow range due to the instability of the control
and the turbulence in the gauging pool at medium to high flows. Two peak flow
ratings, both derived from current meter gaugings. Maximum gauging for pre-Oct
1994 rating of about 0.7 QMED; for post-Oct 1994 about 0.8QMED; simple
extrapolation beyond. Peak flow rating was revised in 2003. | |
Very wet, rugged, upland catchment with mountainous headwaters, often snowy
in winter. Predominantly Moinian metamorphic with schist intrusions. Less than
half overlain by superficial deposits. Moorland and rough grazing dominate land
use. No significant catchment changes known. | Natural and very responsive
flow regime; moderate storage in headwater lochans. |

Velocity area station; 50% of the catchment drains through Loch More. |
Velocity area station, about 30m wide. | Stable rock bar control. To
date all flows contained. Two peak flow ratings across period of record derived
from gaugings with extrapolation beyond. | Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Upland
headwaters. Mixed bedrock permeability with about 1/3 impermeable, largely
overlain by superficial deposits. Blanket peat cover. Land use is moorland and
rough pasture with some tree cover. Extensive afforestation of upper catchment
from late 1970s. Catchment characterised by small lochs. | 50% of
catchment drains through Loch More which is used for river regulation (mainly
freshets for fishing). Public water supply is taken from Loch Calder - this loch
would naturally drain into both the Thurso and Forss catchments, but the outlet
to Forss to the North is blocked by a barrage. Average net abstraction from Loch
Calder 5% of long-term average runoff. |

Station closed in 1997. | Compound thin-plate weir. The archived
'gauged' flows incorporate an adjustment to allow for an upstream public water
supply abstraction - the record is thus partially naturalised. | |
| A largely permeable catchment - the Eastern Yar rises as springs on
the Chalk of St. Catherine's Down but Lower Greensand dominates the lower
catchment. Very rural. | |

Ultrasonic station (at road bridge) installed in 1996. | Ultrasonic
station, superseded trapezoidal critical depth flume, width 2.4m (with
broad-crested c/m rated overflow weir for stages > 0.6m). Upper Shide site
closed since 2005, replaced by station 300m downstream at Shide; data from
either side of transition considered homogeneous. | Springline accretion
between the two sites may impact on the homogeneity of the overall flow record.
Nov 2000 peak under review. Flow reduced in 1985 by groundwater pumping tests.
From 1989, low flows augmented by Isle of Wight Conjunctive Use Scheme; also
transfers to the Eastern Yar. | No data Sep-Dec 1996. | Entirely
rural, arable catchment. Fairly steep slopes in southern headwaters.
Predominantly permeable: Chalk and Lower Greensand with some Gault Clay. |
Small abstractions for irrigation. |

Velocity area station gauging a natural mountainous catchment on the Isle of
Harris. | Open channel section 5m wide with gravel control. Station added
to peak flows dataset in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9). | Flood gauging
is challenging at the site due to its remoteness and there being no permanent
cableway. However, a flood gauging has was obtained on 17/09/18 using a ADCP
boat and temporary cableway set up. The gauged stage was 1.786m and the measured
flow was 23.5 cumecs. Although the river was out of bank on the right during
this gauging, there is confidence that the measured flow was close to the actual
flow. One peak flow rating across the period of record. | Low flows in
June 2012 verified by gaugings during the event, therefore thought to be
reliable. | A natural mountainous catchment on South Harris with little
storage. Mainly rough grazing, peat bog and moorland with some forestry. |

Velocity area station opened in November 1971. | One of the earliest
stations in the NI hydrometric network. A velocity area station comprising a
wooden hut housing a stilling well. Main and backup instruments both present
using shaft encoders with float and weight. Channel width approximately 15m at
station. | Channel too deep to wade gauge at station, but during low flows
in-channel gauging is undertaken at road bridge downstream. The last gauging
over 10 cumecs was on 07/08/86, the highest gauging flow recorded since this
date was on 18/04/96 when the flow was 8.3 cumecs. Rating derived from current
meter gaugings. | AMAX1 in November 2015 exceeded the previous
long-standing highest flow on record from October 1987. Daily flows from 1977
onwards reprocessed in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period
of record data up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Solid
geology - Dalradian schistose sandstone and shale form generally impermeable
basement in the south. Much of the area is underlain by Carboniferous, generally
indurated conglomerate, Claragh sandstone, mudstone and limestone. Prominent
Palaeogene dolerite dykes cross the area. Drift geology - river alluvium
overlies glacial sand and gravel deposited on drumlinised glacial till. Rock
near surface and post-glacial peat extensive on high ground. Restricted
development of river alluvium in valleys. Predominantly grassland with some
shrub heath, bog and coniferous woodland. No significant urban development. |
Natural regime - no water abstractions or significant returns. |

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in April 1972 as part of the
original core network in Northern Ireland. Flow regime impacted since 2011 by
HEP downstream. | Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry hut housing
stilling well and cableway winch situated on top of floodbank on left bank.
Camowen River is one of two major watercourses flowing through Omagh that join
to form the Strule River. Station located c.750m upstream of confluence with
Drumragh River. Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders
with float & weight. Channel width c.22m at station. Channel too deep to
wade gauge in all but the very lowest of conditions. Cableway upgraded in
2014. | Informal broad-crested weir c.240m downstream originally
constructed for mill use acts as control. Full range of flows contained within
channel. Ratings derived from current meter gaugings and there are a good number
of both low and high flow gaugings providing a good rating fit. Simple
extrapolation used beyond the maximum gauged flow at 2.16m. Hydro-electric
scheme opened in 2011 which is affecting (particularly low) flows. | AMAX1
2011 event extent captured by aerial photography - area to left of gauging
station shows an area of inundation rather than bypass flow. Daily flows from
1975 onwards reprocessed in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire
period of record data up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in September
2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Largely upland given over mainly to grassland
or heath. Solid geology - Dalradian schistose sandstone and shale form generally
impermeable basement north of the Omagh Thrust. Moinian and Ordovician igneous
complexes from generally impermeable basement south of the Omagh Thrust. The
rest of the area is underlain by Devonian and Carboniferous conglomerate,
sandstone and mudstone that are generally indurated. Drift geology - Extensive
drumlinised glacial till with sand and gravel in valleys. Extensive rock near
surface and post-glacial peat cover on high ground with restricted development
of river alluvium in valleys. No significant urban development. | Records
indicate a sensibly natural regime since the station opened in 1972 until HEP
scheme downstream started up in 2011. This has had a noticeable impact on summer
low flows in 2013 & 2014 when levels dropped to new minima below the bottom
end of current rating equation. Given operational constraints of HEP in high
flows, Peak Flows data remains unaffected. |

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in July 1972 as part of the
original core network in Northern Ireland. | Velocity-area station with
cableway. Masonry hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated on right
bank. Drumragh River one of two major watercourses flowing through Omagh that
join to form the Strule River. Station affected by backing up with confluence
with Camowen downstream. Removed from peak flows dataset in September 2019
(WINFAP Files v8). | Main and backup instruments present both using shaft
encoders with float & weight. Channel width c.16 metres at station. Top of
the berm is 6.08m. Flow is out of bank above 100m3/s however the station is not
bypassed. Well rated at low and high flows. Single peak flow rating across the
period of record derived from current meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation used
beyond maximum gauged level of 3.82m. Daily flows in late December 2010
considered suspect due to likely freezing in stilling well but this is very much
an exception rather than the norm for winter conditions. | Highest station
flows both recorded in the month of October in 1987 & 2011. Latter event
extent captured by aerial photography. Daily flows from 1975 onwards reprocessed
in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using the entire period of record data up
to 2015 water year. | Approximately agricultural grassland and upland
heath. Solid geology - Dalradian schistose sandstone and shale form generally
impermeable basement north of the Omagh Thrust. Much of south is composed of
Devonian and Carboniferous conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone and limestone that
are generally indurated. Prominent Palaeogene dolerite dykes cross the area.
Drift geology - Extensive drumlinised glacial till with some sand and gravel in

Velocity area station with cableway and natural control opened in May
1975. | Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry hut housing cableway
winch situated on top of floodbank on right bank. Main and backup instruments
present both using pressure probes. Channel width c.11m at station. Instruments
re-sited directly in channel in December 2017 as inlet pipe to stilling well is
now sitting up out of the water in low flows as channel bed has lowered in
recent years. | Natural in-channel control. Major bed shift in recent
years has rendered lower end of rating equation as inadequate and in need of
review. Bed also prone to movement at high flows prohibiting accurate ADCP
gauging at the station. Ratings derived from traditional current meter gaugings
with recent check gaugings using in-channel electromagnetic current meter.
Highest gauging to date (45 m3/s) in 2009 was c.1 m below top of floodbank.
Simple extrapolation used beyond 65m3/s. Two peak flow ratings across period of
record. | Daily flows from October 2013 are not available as a result of a
shifting bed effecting gauging at low flows. Peak flows unaffected. Water year
1974/1975 rejected because AMAX from partial water year at start of station
record. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August
2021 (WINFAP Files v10) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). |
Predominantly improved grassland, some bog and heath rising to above 500
mAOD. Solid geology - Dalradian rock types form a generally impermeable basement
composed of metamorphosed, schistose sandstone, shale, limestone and basic

early 1970's. Wooden hut housing stilling well and cableway winch at Crosh
destroyed during 23 August 2017 flood. New station sited c.60 m downstream of
original station on higher ground although pressure probes are located in same
position in river channel inlet pipe to stilling well used in previous station
location. | River gets out-of-bank at high flows. The rating is derived
from current meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation is used beyond 3.458m (maximum
gauged level). Gauging and rating is good but some gaugings at higher flows
would be useful. | Highest flow recorded in August 2017 eclipsed previous,

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in June 1982 on Mourne River
which holds record for highest flow recorded in Northern Ireland. |
Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry hut housing stilling well and
cableway winch situated on top of floodbank on right bank. Main and backup
instruments present both using shaft encoders with float & weight. Floor of
station raised up following major inundation during 1987 flood event. Channel
width c.47m at station. | Station location selected to be outside tidal
influence of Foyle and influence of Finn River which joins Mourne c.3km
downstream to form River Foyle. Natural bed control. Low flow gauging conducted
by wade gauging. Electric cableway historically used for high flow gauging
however this was destroyed during high flows in winter 2015. Last high flow
gauging undertaken in 2002. Rating derived from current meter gaugings. Simple
extrapolation used beyond maximum gauged level of 4.27m. | AMAX1 in August
2017 exceeded the previous long-standing highest flow on record from October
1987. Defences constructed post-1987, when Strabane was flooded, protected the
town in 2017. No gaps in record. Daily flows for full period of record
reprocessed in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period of record
data up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files
v12). | A mainly rural catchment (grassland and heath with limited
afforestation), with urban development at Omagh and Castlederg. Solid geology -
Moinian and Dalradian rock types form a generally impermeable basement composed
of metamorphosed, schistose sandstone, shale, limestone and basic igneous
intrusive and extrusive lithologies. Moinian and Ordovician igneous complexes
form generally impermeable basement south of the Omagh Thrust. Ordovician and

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in January 1975. Very flashy flow
regime in spite of large catchment and reservoir in headlands. |
Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry hut housing cableway winch
situated on top of floodbank on left bank. Main and backup instruments present
both using pressure probes. Channel width c.17m at station. Channel
stabilisation work completed in October 2010 saw bank protection and concrete
bed installed and control established. | Control comprised of tiered rock
olives established in October 2010 as part of bed stabilisation work. Multiple
ratings apply to period of record with differences at low flows due to bed
movements. High spring tides intrude up to the station. Very large range in
water level (6m) although fully contained at high flows by extensive
floodbanks. | Daily flows not archived on the NRFA since October 2010 -
pending rating review to account for bed stabilisation works. Highest flow
recorded on 16th August 2008 when 3 inches of rain fell in 12 hours on already
saturated ground during what the Met Office termed "Awful August". Full period
of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files
v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Predominantly grassland
headwaters with some shrub heath, bog and coniferous woodland. Intensively
cultivated alluvial plain. High upland headwater area sloping fairly steeply
onto an intensively cultivated alluvial plain. Contains towns of Limavady and
Dungiven. Solid geology - bedrock is very varied with metamorphic, sedimentary
and contemporaneous igneous rocks. Dalradian rock types form a generally
impermeable basement composed of metamorphosed, schistose sandstone, shale,
limestone and basic igneous intrusive and extrusive lithologyies. Carboniferous
conglomerates, sandstones and mudstone are generally indurated. Permeable
Triassic sandstone (Sherwood) overlain by impermeable Triassic mudstone. Thin
Cretaceous chalk is indurated and overlain by Palaeogene basalt lava flows.
Drift geology - glacial till covers much of the area with extensive sand and
gravel at the northern end of the catchment. Post-glacial peat cover extensive
with restricted development of river alluvium. | Flow regime characterised
as flashy despite relatively large catchment area. Headwaters contain
Altnaheglish reservoir yielding 32Ml/d. |

Velocity-area station opened in August 1976. Steel cabinet kiosk installed
in December 2017 to replace original masonry hut and cableway destroyed in
August 2017 flood. | Velocity-area station comprised of steel cabinet
kiosk on right bank housing main and backup instruments both using pressure
probes. Original masonry hut housing stilling well and cableway winch destroyed
on 23 August 2017 when floodwaters eroded right bank and undercut station hut
which fell into the Faughan. New station sited c.20 m upstream of original
station. Channel width c.22m at station. | Natural control c.50m
downstream of station altered in 1985. Floodwall constructed on left bank in
1995. Ratings derived from current meter gaugings. All low and high flow
gaugings prior to August 2017 were conducted using cableway as channel is too
deep to wade gauge even during low flows. Simple extrapolation used beyond
maximum gauged level of 2.998m. | Highest flow recorded in August 2017
eclipsed previous, long-held peak flow recorded in October 1987. Daily flows not
shown after this event as channel changes necessitates rating revision. Peak
flows not affected. Flows for full period of record reprocessed in 2002. POT
threshold revised in 2017 using entire period of record data up to 2015 water
year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018
(WINFAP Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Drumahoe is
a suburban development near the coast - some light industry; otherwise
agricultural, upland basin. Solid geology - Dalradian rock types form a

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in June 1970. Flows influenced by
major arterial drainage scheme between 1983-1995. | Velocity-area station
with cableway. Masonry hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated in
steeply-sloping field on left bank, just downstream of a twin-arched bridge.
Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float and
weight. Channel width c.27m at station. Flood bank built on right bank in 1990
constraining all but the most extreme flows - aerial photograph from AMAX2 event
in November 2009 (187m3/s, 4.051m) shows overtopping of floodbank directly
opposite station. | Natural in-channel control. Historical flows between
1983-1995 impacted by major arterial drainage scheme. Approximately 50% of
catchment is in Republic of Ireland where some groundwater may be abstracted but
its hydrological significance is not considered to be significant. One peak flow
rating across period of record based on gaugings. Gauging close to 2009 AMAX2
event lends credence to rating equation. | Peak flow data are only
presented from 1990 onward since the construction of flood bank constrained the
majority of high flow events. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Solid geology - indurated Carboniferous limestone, sandstone and
mudstone are exposed upstream while permeable Sherwood Sandstone Group occurs
downstream. Drift geology -downstream, drumlinised glacial till is overlain by
river alluvium. Extensive rock near surface and post-glacial peat cover on high
ground with restricted development of river alluvium in valleys. A predominantly
rural catchment - largely improved grassland with limited afforestation.
Monaghan Town - in the Irish Republic - is the only significant urban
centre. | Second largest catchment size (behind 201010 Drumnabuoy House)
of NI stations in Peak Flows dataset at 970km2 with a correspondingly high
average T-rise of 29 hours - nearly twice the average for NI stations. There is
evidence of abstraction activity in the instantaneous data however the scale of
the impact is not considered to be significant. |

Velocity area without cableway, controlled by a weir of capped sheet
piles. | Velocity area station with level recorder; instrumentation housed
in compartment at top of the vertical well pipe. | Major arterial drainage
scheme, channel deepening and bridge replacement, was implemented in the 1980s
from the confluence with the River Braid to the headwaters. During river works
the cap was removed from weir leading to site moving upstream at ID 049 090 on
01/11/1980, retaining same name. Multiple rating curves, derived from current
meter gaugings. No cableway, high flow gauging from gauging bridge. Simple
extrapolation used above approx 51 cumecs. High flow gauging in 2002 confirmed
validity of rating. | Water year 1969/1970 rejected because AMAX from
partial water year at start of station record. Instrument failure lead to
missing daily data during water year 2010/2011. Peak flow for this year rejected
because the true AMAX may have occurred during this period based on nearby
gauges. Additionally, peak flows rejected as unrepresentative post-2015 because
of uncertain changes due to which the low flows are likely underestimated.
Rejected until further investigations and amendment to rating. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | No significant centres of habitation. Solid geology - the area is
underlain predominantly by Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Drift geology -
Extensive drumlinised glacial till with sand and gravel concentrated around the
River Main and other major valleys. Extensive rock near surface and post-glacial
peat cover on high ground with development of river alluvium in valleys. |
Water abstracted from Dungonnell Reservoir in the Clogh catchment (12.5Ml/d)
is predominantly returned downstream of station. |

Velocity-area station with cableway and natural control opened in June
1970. | Velocity-area station with cableway. Wooden hut housing stilling
well and cableway winch situated on top of floodbank on left bank. Station
located c.60m upstream of a multi-span road bridge which supplements natural bed
control slightly further downstream. Main and backup instruments present both
using shaft encoders with float and weight. Channel width c.20m at station.
Channel too deep to wade gauge in all but the very lowest of conditions at the
station but comfortably gaugable in-channel at road bridge. | Stable bed.
Flows contained in channel beyond QMED, however highest flows do overtop
floodbanks on left bank. Simple extrapolation used above 71m3/s. More high flow
gaugings would be advantageous to confirm assumption that station is Suitable
for QMED essential to upgrade station to Suitable for Pooling. | Highest 3
flows on record in 1987, 1988 and 2008. Daily flows for full period of record
reprocessed in 2002. New rating applied in 2007 to take account of raised bed
caused by underpinning of Ballinderry Bridge, data reprocessed back to Sept
1995. Late December 2010 flows considered suspect due to likely freezing in
stilling well. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period of record data
up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Solid geology -
Ordovician igneous complexes form generally impermeable basement overlain by
indurated Ordovician and Silurian greywacke sandstones and shales. Much of south

Velocity area station with cableway and natural control. | Reasonable
velocity-area station. | Control at old bridge downstream. Channel has
changed at the station over the years due to channel works and new bridge
upstream. There is probably no better site on the river for the station.
Multiple ratings applied to period of record. Rating derived from current meter
gaugings. Simple extrapolation used above approx 3.5m. | Exceptionally low
flows in May/June 2009; however high degree of uncertainty (recession pattern
not observed upstream). Low flows during 2008 and 2009 deemed unreliable and are
under review. Flows from 1975 onwards reprocessed in 2002. There is a lack of
data between July & August 2010 due to vandalism at the site. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files
v10). | Solid geology - the area is underlain predominantly by Palaeogene
basalt lava flows. Drift geology - extensive glacial till with sand and gravel
concentrated around Six Mile Water valley. Lacustrine deposits might be present
below river alluvium. Limited rock near surface and post-glacial peat cover on
high ground with restricted development of river alluvium in valleys.
Significant proportion of upland - predominantly grassland or heath, limited
afforestation. Urban area: Antrim has substantial light industry and Ballyclare
is a small market town. | The net effect of industrial abstractions and

Velocity area station with cableway and natural control. | Velocity
area station. | Cableway present. Rock bar with boulders 8m downstream of
gauge gives low insensitive flow control. Three arch-road bridge 50m downstream
gives medium and high flow control. Three peak flow ratings applied to period of
record. Rating derived from current meter gaugings from cableway. Simple
extrapolation occurs beyond 2m. | Flows from 1980 onwards reprocessed in
2002. Flows for 20-27 December 2010 considered suspect due to likely freezing in
stilling well followed by rapid melt event. Need more high flow gaugings. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP
Files v10). | Catchment is predominantly grassland with no urban areas or
major industry. Solid geology - the area is mostly underlain by Palaeogene
basalt lava flows. Dalradian occurs in the west forming a generally impermeable
basement composed of metamorphosed, schistose sandstone, shale, limestone and
basic igneous intrusive and extrusive lithologies. Carboniferous sandstone and
mudstone also occurs in the west and is generally indurated. Drift geology -
extensive glacial till with sand and gravel around the River Bann. Rock near
surface and extensive post-glacial peat cover on high ground with restricted
development of river alluvium in valleys. | Natural catchment with no
major artificial influences. |

Velocity area station with cableway. | Velocity area station. |
Small range. At high flows, river overspills banks. Multi-arched bridge just
d/s of station, between the piers, the inverts act as informal, horizontal
controls. Rating derived from current meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation
occurs above 2.5m. | Daily flows for full period of record reprocessed in
2002. Suspect flows in July 2002, resulting from works on bridge d/s. Rating
equation was adjusted in February 2008 due to infilling of scoured invert with
concrete by Roads Service. Water year 1970/1971 rejected because AMAX from
partial water year at start of station record and 1976-1978 rejected due to
missing data. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Predominantly grassland and heath with
limited afforestation. Urban areas at Magherafelt and Maghera but no major
industry. Solid geology - north of the Omagh Thrust and west of the Tow Valley
Fault, Dalradian rock types form a generally impermeable basement composed of
metamorphosed, schistose sandstone, shale, limestone and basic igneous intrusive
and extrusive lithologies. Moinian and Ordovician igneous complexes form
generally impermeable basement to the south and east. Much of south is composed
of Carboniferous conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone and limestone that are
generally indurated. Drift geology - extensive glacial till and sand and gravel.
Rock near surface and post-glacial peat cover on high ground with variable
development of river alluvium in valleys. | Kilberry reservoir provides
storage in catchment for public water supply, however its impact on the gauging
station is minor. |

Velocity area station with cableway and natural control. | Velocity
area station 1.5km d/s of confluence with the R Main. Removed from peak flows
dataset in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8). | Cableway present. Bridge
downstream does not backup flows, and nor does the River Main at high flows.
Rating derived from current meter gaugings from cableway. Simple extrapolation
occurs above approx 47m3/s. | Daily flows from 1974 onwards were
reprocessed in 2002. Last high flow gauging carried out in 1986. No gaugings
above QMED. Out of bank below QMED. Significant unmeasured floodplain flow. |
Predominantly upland area - mostly heath, some upland grass pasture, with
some shrub heath and coniferous woodland and limited afforestation. No urban
development. Solid geology - the area is mostly underlain by Palaeogene basalt
lava flows. Drift geology -Extensive glacial till with restricted sand and
gravel and river alluvium in valleys. Rock near surface and extensive
post-glacial peat cover on high ground. | Ballyboley reservoir provides
storage in catchment and abstractions for public water supply but net effect is
minor, 13Ml/d. Indirect diversions result in an additional 10 km2 to the
catchment but this is offset by the export of water for public water supply out
of the catchment. Flows may be affected by fishermen's weirs. |

Velocity-area station originally opened in 1971. | Velocity-area
station originally opened in May 1971 but closed in November 1971 due to
political climate in Northern Ireland (station is located c.500m from border
with ROI). Station reopened October 1979. Channel deepened in 1986 as part of
River Blackwater Drainage Scheme. Masonry hut housing stilling well situated on
right bank. Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with
float & weight. Channel width c.11m at station. | Fisheries boulders
may cause blockage and affect lower end of rating equation. Good range of
gaugings (50m3/s). Unusual catchment geology means station has flat growth
curve; does not often get out of bank upstream. Ratings derived from current
meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation occurs above 50m3/s. | Highest flows
recorded in 2011 & 2015. Data prior to completion of arterial drainage
scheme in 1990 not presented in Peak Flows dataset due to the significant change
on channel and flow regime. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period of
record data up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed
and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP
Files v12). | Catchment contains town of Coalisland. Currently brickmaking
and agricultural land use, formerly mining area. Solid geology - bedrock
composed of generally indurated Maydown Carboniferous Limestone Formation with
some Lower Old Red Sandstone. Drift geology - upstream, drumlinised glacial till
and an area of sand and gravel are overlain by river alluvium. Extensive rock
near surface with some peat on high ground. | Major arterial drainage
scheme deepened channel and drastically lowered levels and altered existing
rating equation. The stage/discharge relationship was so significantly altered
that data from before scheme completion is excluded from the Peak Flows

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in June 1971. Construction of
weir in 1980 stabilised measuring section. | Velocity-area station with
cableway. Wooden hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated on right
bank. Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float
and weight. Channel width c.13m at station. Block built weir constructed in 1980
stabilised measuring section although this significantly altered the flow regime
rendering earlier flows as unrepresentative. Cusher River runs parallel to the
Newry Canal for its final 5km before joining the Lower Bann just south of
Portadown. | Block built weir constructed in 1980 acts as control. As a
result all data prior to 1980 should be treated with caution and should not be
used for flood estimation. Multiple ratings apply to period of record. All flows
are contained in bank. Ratings derived from current meter gaugings from
cableway. | No gaps in station records although early record (before 1980)
prior to weir construction is marked as unrepresentative. Period between
1982-1985 also marked as unrepresentative due to an issue with recording the
level relative to the datum, giving lower than expected flow values. Gravel
build-up removed in April 1989, thought to affect flows back to Oct 1987. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Solid geology - area
underlain by indurated Silurian greywacke sandstones and shales. Palaeogene
basalt lava flow form bedrock in an area to the north of the catchment. Drift
Geology - Drumlinised glacial till covers much of the area, with river alluvium
in the main valleys. Rock near surface and peat associated with Silurian bedrock
area. Rural catchment, mostly grassland, some arable farming. Small town of
Tandragee is the only sizeable urban area located at very bottom end of the
catchment. | Station has an average t-rise figure for NI stations included
in Peak Flows - 16.5 hours. No significant artificial influences. |

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in November 1972 as part of the
original core network in Northern Ireland. Flow regime impacted since 2014 by
two HEP schemes upstream. | Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry
hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated on right bank. Main and
backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float & weight.
Channel width c.14m at station. | Ratings derived from current meter
gaugings from cableway. Ratings considered stable. Out of bank at flows below
QMED. Simple extrapolation occurs above maximum gauged level of 2.244m. |
Highest flow recorded in October 1987. Flows from 1975 onwards reprocessed
in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period of record data up to
2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in
October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). |
Significant proportion of upland, predominantly grassland or heath and
coniferous woodland. No urban areas or major industry. Solid geology - the area
is mostly underlain by Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Generally impermeable
Dalradian occurs in the south. Drift geology - upstream, drumlinised glacial
till with restricted lacustrine and river alluvium and areas of peat. Downstream
the area of glacio-lacustrine alluvium become much more extensive. | Low
to medium flows impacted since June 2014 by two hydro-electric schemes upstream
of station, the closest of which has its return point 20m from station. However
given operational constraints of HEP in high flows Peak Flows data remains
unaffected. |

Velocity-area station opened in March 1975. Flat V control installed in 1989
replacing previous natural control. | Velocity-area station with cableway.
Masonry hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated on right bank.
Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float &
weight. Channel width c.10 metres at station. Flat V weir constructed in
September/October 1989 to monitor prescribed flow of 18Ml/d. | For high
flows, the station is treated as velocity-area as weir drowns at moderate flows.
The same high flow rating is therefore applied to the full period of record,
with level adjustment for the datum shift due to the weir. Rating is derived
from current meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation occurs above approx 46
cumecs. | Major flood event in August 2008. Periods of missing flows
between Sep and Oct 1989 during construction of Flat V weir and between Jan and
Apr 2009 due to instrument failure. Flows for late Dec 2010 considered suspect
due to freezing in stilling well. Gaugings show good agreement with the rating
equation between 1989-1998. However since Apr 2000 all gaugings have
demonstrated a negative deviation indicating that the current rating equation is
over-estimating flows. Until this can be investigated and rectified all data
post-1999 has been rejected from the Peak Flows data holdings. POT threshold
revised in 2017 using entire period of record data up to 2015 water year. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP
Files v7) and in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | The Upper Bann
drains the Mourne Mountains. The catchment is predominantly grassland with some
shrub heath; no significant urban fraction. Solid geology - area underlain by
indurated Silurian greywacke sandstones and shales intruded by Devonian and
Palaeogene granites impermeable (granite and quartzite). Drift geology - rock
near surface, drumlinised glacial till is overlain by river alluvium. Peaty
alluvium is common to inter-drumlin lows. | Reservoir storage (Spelga Dam)
in catchment with abstractions for public water supply the net effect of which
is minor. The station is used to monitor a prescribed flow designated for the
river below which compensation flows are received from Spelga Dam and Lough
Island Reavey. |

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in January 1981. |
Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry hut housing stilling well and
cableway winch situated on right bank. Main and backup instruments present both
using shaft encoders with float & weight. Channel width c.8m at
station. | Natural bed control. Simple extrapolation occurs above approx
34m3/s. Rating equation flagged as being provisional due to lowering of channel
- there has been no change to this rating equation since this time. |
Highest flows recorded in August 2008 and October 1987. Daily flows from
1983 onwards reprocessed in 2002. August 2008 peak flows above bankfull and
subject to considerable uncertainty. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire
period of record data up to 2015 water year. Hydro-Electric scheme operational
on Crumlin River upstream of station since 2017 impacting upon hitherto natural
flow regime of river at low flows, high flows unaffected. Full period of record
peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in
September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12). | Mostly upland - predominantly
grassland or heath. No urban areas, some scattered light industry. Solid geology
- the area is underlain by Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Drift geology -
extensive glacial till (part drumlinised) with development of river alluvium in
valleys. | Quick-reacting, largely rural catchment draining into Lough
Neagh. Natural regime with minor abstractions. |

Velocity area station with cableway. | Flat V weir installed 1986.
Site initially installed 1980/1 with an open channel control but was replaced
due to a shifting beds and station bypassing. | Rating is derived from
current meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation occurs above 1.4m. More high flow
gaugings are required. | The pre-weir record is intermittent, unreliable
and is of limited use therefore peak flows are not shown. Daily flows for full
period of record reprocessed in 2002. Late December 2010 flows considered
suspect due to likely freezing in stilling well. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). |
Predominantly improved grassland with no significant centres of habitation.
Highest total grass cover of gauged NI catchments. Solid Geology - Mostly
composed of Devonian and Carboniferous conglomerate, sandstone, mudstone and
limestone that are generally indurated. Permeable Triassic sandstone (Sherwood)
occurs in the east. Drift Geology - Extensive glacial till with sand and gravel
and river alluvium in valleys. | |

Velocity-area station opened in November 1981. Predominantly rural catchment
and the smallest catchment of all the NI stations in the Peak Flows dataset at
22.5km2. | Velocity-area station comprised of steel cabinet kiosk on left
bank housing main and backup instruments both using pressure probes upstream of
double-arched road bridge. Channel width c.4.6m at station. Station located
c.1km upstream of confluence with the Sixmilewater. Stable cobble channel bed
with well defined straight banks reinforced by tree roots. | Arches of
road bridge downstream are liable to collect branches and debris particularly
after high flows so backing-up can be an issue. Flows fully contained at QMED
but anything above 2.6m does get out of bank. One rating applied across period
of record. | Highest flow recorded on 16th August 2008 when 3 inches of
rain fell in 12 hours on already saturated ground during what the Met Office
termed "Awful August". Late December 2010 flows considered suspect due to likely
freezing in stilling well. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Solid geology - the area is underlain predominantly by Palaeogene
basalt and rhyolite lava flows. Drift geology - extensive glacial till with an
area of lacustrine clay. Limited rock near surface and post-glacial peat cover
on high ground with restricted development of river alluvium in valleys.
Predominantly improved grassland, but rock outcrops also; some horticulture
(mainly potatoes). No significant urban centres. | One of the
faster-responding catchments in the NI subset of the Peak Flows stations with a
t-rise figure of 9 hours. Some minor abstractions upstream associated with
agriculture. |

Velocity-area station opened in December 1983. | Velocity-area
station, previously with cableway which was vandalised in 2016. Masonry hut on
right bank housing main and backup instruments present both using pressure
probes. Channel width c.36m at station. Major hydro-electric scheme upstream of
station has considerable impact on instantaneous data when operational. |
Natural in-channel control. Contained at all flows. Upper half of Main river
was subject to a major arterial drainage scheme, channel deepening and bridge
replacement in the 1980s from the confluence with the River Braid to the
headwaters. One peak flow rating applied to the period of record. The rating is
derived from current meter gaugings. Large boulders in channel makes wade
gauging impossible in all but the very lowest of flows. Simple extrapolation
occurs above approx. 226 m3/s. Gaugings cover wide range and rating is
good. | AMAX1 recorded in August 2008 was double QMED. Periods of missing
flow in 2010 (July-November) and 2011 (May-June) due to instrument failure. Full
period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP
Files v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Significant upland
areas, predominantly grassland or heath, limited afforestation. Extensive
bogland in the north. Solid geology - the area is underlain predominantly by
Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Drift geology - extensive glacial till with
limited rock near surface and post-glacial peat cover on high ground.
Significant development of river alluvium (terraced) around Clady Water.
Contains Ballymena (substantial light industry) and Randalstown. | Third
largest catchment size (behind 201010 Drumnabuoy House and 203010 Maydown
Bridge) of NI stations in Peak Flows dataset at 707km2. T-rise figure of c.17
hours. Clogh, Braid and Kellswater all within catchment and contain a series of
small reservoirs used for public water supply. Large hydro-electric scheme
upstream of station has impact on instantaneous data when in operation however
the peaks and troughs average out over the daily and monthly values. |

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in August 1972 as part of the
original core network in Northern Ireland. | Velocity-area station with
cableway. Masonry hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated on right
bank. Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float
& weight. Channel width c.17m at station. | Stable bed with section
control. Out of bank at flows above QMED although station is not bypassed. The
rating is derived from current meter gaugings. Simple extrapolation occurs above
highest gauged flow of 63m3/s. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | Highest flow recorded in October 1981. Full period of record
daily flows reprocessed in 2002. Gaps in early part of record - most of 1974
missing and 3 months missing from late 1977. POT threshold revised in 2017 using
entire period of record data up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7) and in August
2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Solid geology - the area is mostly underlain by
Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Beneath basalt occurs permeable Triassic sandstone
(Sherwood) that is overlain by indurated Cretaceous chalk. Impermeable Oligocene
Lough Neagh Group clays and lignite underlie the south-west of the area, while
the east is composed of Dalradian rock types that form a generally impermeable
basement composed of metamorphosed, schistose sandstone, shale, limestone and
basic igneous intrusive and extrusive lithologies. Drift geology - extensive
glacial till with sand and gravel around the River Bush and other major valleys.
Rock near surface and extensive post-glacial peat cover on high ground with
restricted development of river alluvium in valleys. Predominantly grassland
with some horticulture (mainly potatoes), coniferous woodland and shrub heath.
Contains the town of Ballymoney. | Altnahinch reservoir upstream, impact

Velocity-area station with cableway opened in July 1972 as part of the
original core network in Northern Ireland. | A velocity-area station with
masonry hut housing stilling well and cableway winch situated on left bank.
Station opened in July 1972 to replace Dunmurry station upstream. Main and
backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float & weight.
Station rebuilt after showing minor signs of instability. Channel width c.13m at
station. | Natural bed control downstream of station. Some unmeasured
bypassing occurs at very high flows on right bank. Rating derived from current
meter gaugings from cableway as channel is too deep to wade gauge. Simple
extrapolation occurs above c.128m3/s. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | Highest flow recorded in August 2008. Daily flows from start of
1980 onwards reprocessed in 2002. No gaps in record. POT threshold revised in
2017 using entire period of record data up to 2015 water year. Full period of
record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7)
and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Solid geology - south-eastern
area underlain by indurated Ordovician/Silurian greywacke sandstones and shales.
North-western area underlain by indurated Permian conglomerates, sandstone and
shale, that are overlain in turn by permeable Triassic sandstone (Sherwood) and
impermeable Triassic mudstone (Mercia) and Jurassic mudstone. Thin Cretaceous
chalk is indurated and overlain by Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Drift geology -
Glacial till (drumlinised) covers much of the area with extensive sand and
gravel and river alluvium in the main Lagan Valley. Rock near surface,
drumlinised glacial till, peat and limited river alluvium associated with
Ordovician/Silurian bedrock area. Predominantly improved grassland, some
horticulture (mainly potatoes). Contains dense urban areas of south Belfast and
Lisburn. | Numerous public water supply boreholes in the Sherwood
Sandstone - pumping capacity total nearly 30Ml/d. All effluent returns to the
river. Station typically exhibits double-peak in high flow events due to
difference in time it takes urban and rural parts of catchment to drain to
watercourse. |

Flat V weir station gauging a natural catchment with significant storage in
headwater loughs. | Station opened 1973 as a velocity area station. In
1977 a concrete Flat-V weir and high-flow gauging bridge were constructed. |
Flows contained. Weir requires cleaning in summer, though little deposition
of material behind weir. Two peak flow ratings apply to period of record. High
flow rating from current meter gaugings; simple extrapolation above 1.4m. More
medium-flow gaugings required. Prior to weir installation rating based on
current meter gaugings. | Daily flows from start of 1980 reprocessed in
2002. Water year 1971/1972 rejected because AMAX is from partial water year at
start of station record. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Solid geology - Silurian
greywacke sandstones and shales form indurated bedrock. Drift geology -
upstream, rock near surface and drumlinised glacial till overlain by limited
river alluvium (terraced). Downstream, extensive glacial sand and gravel
complex. Predominantly improved grassland with some horticulture (mainly
potatoes). No significant urban development. | Natural flow regime;

Flat V weir in trapezoidal channel station opened in May 1983. |
Concrete flat V weir in trapezoidal channel. Instruments housed in secure
metal shipping container on left bank. Main and backup instruments present both
using shaft encoders with float and weight. Channel width c.9m at station.
Station opened initially at request of DoE for water quality monitoring but a
flood defence scheme in 1985 in Comber afforded the station increased
importance. | Weir acts as control but is drowned out at high flows and
flows get out of bank at station. High flow gauging possible from road bridge
further downstream although this is not ideal as the bridge is very high and
there is another watercourse joining the Enler between the station and bridge.
One peak flow rating across period of record with simple extrapolation beyond
maximum gauging. | AMAX1 in March 2010 was highest flow by considerable
margin - 2.7 x QMED and 40% higher than AMAX2. Short 9 day period of missing
flow in 2008 due to vandalism. Rating revised following high flow gaugings in
2000/01 (up to 23.6 cumecs), all flows reprocessed producing substantial
reduction in highest flows. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and
released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and in August 2024 (WINFAP Files
v13). | Solid geology - Ordovician/Silurian greywacke sandstones and
shales form indurated basement overlain in turn by indurated Permian
conglomerates, sandstone and shale and permeable Triassic sandstone (Sherwood).
Drift geology - drumlinised glacial till covers much of the area with extensive
sand and gravel and river alluvium associated with the Enler River valley.
Predominantly grassland but highest proportion of horticulture (mainly potatoes)
for any gauged NI catchment. Some urban/suburban development in the upper
reaches, Dundonald. | Small rural catchment with correspondingly fast
time-to-rise figure of 10 hours. A limited number of boreholes nearby with
pumped extraction to water supply. |

Velocity area station. | Velocity area station. Originally installed
in 1976, which included the Ballymurphy sub-catchment, but was moved slightly
upstream to an existing small weir when the Ballymurphy Stream was diverted in
approximately 1978. | River is culverted immediately downstream of the
Eason's site where it flows through a series of industrial units, predominantly
car garages and showrooms. Low flows gauged by wading; high flows off bridge
(difficult due to flashy response). High flow rating from current meter
gaugings. Simple extrapolation beyond 1.24m (max gauging). Recent gaugings have
allowed calibration of upper end of rating. | Sometimes blockages at a
grille hundreds of metres downstream have affected levels. Water year at start
and end of record rejected due to partial years. Full period of record peak flow
data reviewed and released in August 2021 (WINFAP Files v10). | Solid
geology - south-eastern half underlain by permeable Triassic sandstone
(Sherwood) that is overlain in turn by impermeable Triassic mudstone (Mercia)
and Jurassic mudstone. Thin Cretaceous chalk is indurated and overlain by
Palaeogene basalt lava flows. Drift geology - glacial till covers much of the
area with extensive sand and gravel, estuarine clay (sleech) and river alluvium
at the southern end of the catchment. Flashy response. | |

Station operated by Belfast City & District Water Commissioners opened
in February 1895. | Station composed of steel plate weir with end
contractions and rectangular notch to accommodate low flows. Levels recorded
from stilling pool transmitted to standpipe in which a float is connected to a
clockwork recorder and flows registered on chart mounted on a cylindrical drum.
Station opened in February 1895. Station decommissioned in 1943 when a tunnel
upstream to the the Silent Valley reservoir was opened rendering the records no
longer natural. | Weir has been classified as good with an A2 grade given
in the FSR. The rating for this station is not available but it is thought that
the discharge measurements are probably theoretical. | Concerns regarding
the accuracy of the weir were raised c.1900 and were found to be unfounded
following investigation. | The catchment lies within the quartzose
granites of the Mourne Complex. The Annalong Valley has deep deposits of glacial
silts, sands, gravels and boulders. | Upland, responsive and natural flow
regime. |

Velocity-area station originally opened in September 1975, closed in 1977
and reopened October 1981. | Velocity-area station composed of masonry hut
housing on left bank. Downstream of 4-arched road bridge although arch closest
to left bank typically silted up with flow restricted through this arch to high
flow events only. Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders
with float and weight. Channel width c.16m at station. | Natural
in-channel control. Channel is too deep at station to wade gauge. Some bank
erosion on right bank. Rating derived from current meter gaugings. Flows not
constrained in channel at QMED although station is not bypassed during flood
flows and numerous out of bank flow gaugings have been undertaken. Simple
extrapolation occurs beyond 129.6 m3/s. One peak flow rating across period of
record. | AMAX1 and AMAX2 in October 1987 and December 2015 respectively
both in excess of 150 m3/s. Station originally opened in September 1975,
subsequently closed in March 1977 reopened in October 1981. Gaps in data in 1986
(July - August and September - December). Flows from start of 1987 reprocessed
in 2002. Broad range of gaugings. Data in December 2010 considered suspect due
to the stilling well freezing. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period
of record data up to 2015 water year. Full period of record peak flow data
reviewed and released in August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Solid geology -
area underlain by indurated Silurian greywacke sandstones and shales and Lower
Palaeozoic granodiorite. Drift geology - rock near surface, drumlinised glacial
till, peat, lacustrine clay and limited river alluvium. Land use is
predominantly grassland with significant coniferous woodland, some bog and no
significant urban development. | |

Velocity area station with cableway opened in September 1981. |
Velocity-area station with cableway. Masonry hut housing cableway winch
situated on right bank. Immediately upstream of single-deck road bridge. Main
and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float and weight.
Channel width c.12m at station. | Natural in-channel control. Downstream
road bridge causes backing-up at levels above c.3.25m (c.28m3/s). Single rating
equation for entire period of record derived from current meter gaugings. Good
number of high flow gaugings. High flows not fully contained on left bank
however no bypassing of station occurs. Simple extrapolation occurs beyond
highest gauging at 27.6m3/s. | AMAX1 recorded in December 1991 was 1.5 x
QMED and 1.2 x AMAX2. No gaps in station record. Daily flows from start of 1984
onwards reprocessed in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period
of record data up to 2015 water year. Water year 1980/1981 rejected because AMAX
from partial water year at start of station record. Full period of record peak
flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8) and in
August 2024 (WINFAP Files v13). | Solid geology - indurated Carboniferous
sandstone and mudstone with limestone that is sometimes karstified. Drift
geology - extensive glacial till (drumlinised), lacustrine clay and river
alluvium in valleys. A mainly agricultural catchment (appreciable forestry in
higher areas). No significant urban development. | Some natural storage
provided by small lakes in headwaters which attenuate and delay flood peaks
resulting in a large time-to-peak c.25 hours. |
