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).

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).

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.

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 lb 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 derived from current meter gaugings up to 49 cumecs (about 1.4QMED), 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).

Velocity area station; section about 30m wide.Cableway rated. Some bypassing at highest flows, which is considered to be insignificant. Previously controlled by long and broken weir, unstable and insensitive, severe weed growth also, hence complicated history of rating changes for medium-low flows. Weir rebuilt in September 1996, less problems with weed growth since and rating has proved to be stable. Peak flow rating derived from current meter gaugings up to 2.1m (2QMED), simple extrapolation beyond.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Straight, uniform 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The high flow control is likley 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.Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9).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.

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.

Velocity area station in a straight even reach 50m u/s of a road bridge; section about 14m wide. The banks are steep to 2.5m.It is hypothesised that one or both of the two stone single arch road bridges 50m dowstream are/is the main control during large floods, which have been constant through the period of record. The low flow control will be the bed level, 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 being influential. The gradient of the 1984 flood level was surveyed in the reach of the railway bridge and it shows significant backing up from the piers, but considering the distance downstream from the station, the local influence of the two road bridges likely preside as the dominant control of flood stage-discharge at the station. There is also a large mill weir downstream from the railway bridge, although it likely not a factor being so far downstream. Changes to bed from scour and deposition during larger floods through the periods is likely and there is photo evidence of greater vegetation growth on the banks and possibly bank slumping in more recent years. Such change to the bed and banks will become less significant with higher stage. Two peak flow ratings across the period of record, pre- and post-1967.Peak flows rejected 01/10/2016 to 30/09/2017 due to flood defence construction words. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9).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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 data 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. There is currently no distinct rating in the NRFA record to represent the period of the gabion basked weir between 29/09/1972 and 01/08/1975. Instead, one rating is assumed suitable for both structures. There is a need to resurrect old gaugings to review the rating history and improve confidence in the flow records for this period. Until the control and datum history are clarified, the pre 01/08/1975 records are recommended 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.Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5).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.

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 ratings derived from current meter gaugings, simple extrapolation beyond. Rating revised in 2016. There are some issues with velocity drawdown from the inlet pipe at the station, a stilling chamber was constructed but has been washed into the channel and needs to be replaced. The inlet pipe can also become blocked at low flows.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).Mostly low-lying catchment with headwaters rising quite steeply. Bedrock predominantly Silurian and Ordovician; predominantly overlain by superficial deposits. The catchment drains the steep moorland slopes of the Lammermuir Hills. Arable land use dominates the lowlands with some forest. No significant catchment changes known.The flow regime is natural and flashy.

From 1939 to 1958 flows measured at Priorsford Bridge about 360m u/s; records correlated from 1950.The current station (from 1959) is a natural section around 45m wide with stable gravel bed control. The stilling well tends to bottom out at very low levels. The rating segment above 2.6 is modelled to account for flows in the left flood plain. The confidence of the modelled segment was improved with a flood gauging on 24/01/2018 at 3.153m and with a measured flow of 346.1 cumecs. Prior to 1959, the old station (Priorsford) was located on the right buttress of the suspension bridge 360m upstream from the current station. The gauge board was mounted on the left buttress. The station was operated by the then Department of Agriculture. Charts are from a Glenfield and Kennedy recorder, which provided a continuous level record between 1948 and 1959. Level data does exists between 28/05/1939 and 28/12/1940. However, this data is obviously from a different datum to the post 1948 data and no record of the datum survives. It can be assumed the gap in the record was due to the war. The first chart after the war coincides with the 1948 flood that devastated the lower Tweed catchment. The surviving chart has a chaotic trace and it is speculated that the observer, a Mr Scott, resurrected the station operation in haste in an attempt to capture this flood. SEPA has plans to model the flows for the Priorsford record. The existing peak flows pre 1959 are thought to be untrustworthy and have been rejected for this reason. See notes in the datum and control section for further details on Priorsford.Monthly naturalised flows available. Pre-1959 data is rejected because the gauging station was moved 360m upstream from Priorsford Bridge. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5). Chart data between 1960 & 1986 was digitised in 2016.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.

The primary control is a gravel shoal (~100m) below the station that is prone to adjustment during floods.

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).

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 flow regime.

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.Steep upland catchment developed on Silurian shale, some of which is overlain by superficial deposits.

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 30/12/15 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 u/s) attenuates floods significantly.

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.

Flows are largely natural and uncontrolled. Velocity area station on straight reach, about 16m wide. This station replaces one 0.5km d/s, 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. Three peak flow ratings across period of record 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. One peak flow rating is applied through 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 control returned to the pre slip state by 24/01/2018. The flood estimates in this two year period are only based on gaugings up to 1.670m, measured at 23.3 cumecs.Peak flows between 27/01/2016 and 23/01/2018 rejected as period of low confidence in flood estimation, when landslip debris was acting as a control until washed away by the flood of 24/01/2018. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12).An upland, mainly Old Red Sandstone catchment (approx. 2/3 overlain by superficial deposits). Land use mainly hill grazing with some forestry. No significant catchment changes known.Flows are largely natural and uncontrolled.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 m3s 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.

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.

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.

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.

Informal flat-V weir (3m wide). Station moved after the building of the Metro underground line and supplemented in October 2001 by ultrasonic measuring equipment (removed 2007).Structure drowns at moderate flows and wing walls overtopped 2-5 times per year. Ultrasonic installed in 2001 to calibrate peak flows (removed 2007). Ultrasonic equipment produces good record with no drop-outs. Analysis of uncertainties in the ultrasonic rating calculation suggests the lower and upper bounds for QMAX are -17% and +44% at this site. Three peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Rating pre-1991 (before 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.

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.

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. Natural regime, no known artificial influences.

Diurnal flow regime influenced by minewater discharge up to 1997.Compound broad-crested weir (17.6m broad, low crest 5.5m) within a deep valley and has a steep fall d/s (makes drowning and bypassing unlikely). All crests are 0.3 m long in direction of flow. Divide piers inserted and wing walls raised in 1968. Two flight Larinier pass (600mm wide with 100mm baffles) installed in a by-pass channel on the left bank Aug-Sep 2016.No cableway but some boat gaugings carried out. Theoretical daily flow rating with check gaugings. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Originally rating theoretical and refined when piers and wing walls altered (1968). A temporary rating is applied between 30/01/1990 and 04/02/1990 whilst tree stuck on weir. The fish pass has a separate stage measurement gauge and rating, flows will be 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. Low flow drop outs in September 2016 are beyond the limits of the rating but may also be a result of engineering works on a fish pass.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.

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.

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. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from January 1991 when station decommissioned.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.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 (mostly Boulder Clay). Mixed agriculture, just over 10% of the catchment is built-up.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Tadcaster ultrasonic gauge (27089) installed 1990, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Previously velocity-area station. Catchment drains northern parts of the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Dales.Multi-path (cross-configuration) ultrasonic station u/s 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 difficult site for flood estimation due to lack of similar catchments yet is not entirely suitable for single-site analysis.High flows overtop the left bank u/s, but return through the section. For flood events above 9m AOD (4.46m stage) there is some unmeasured flow behind the highest transducer path. This was estimated as 23 cumecs (4%) in the AMAX1 event (November 2000), it will be less for lower order floods. Daily flow rating change followed construction of the Clifton Ings embankments (c1980). For 1982-1992 a rating independent of Naburn sluice-gate settings has been employed. Multiple peak flow ratings applied over period of record. Ultrasonic since 1992 with ratings used to infill missing data, good measurement of high flows. Flood Studies Report grade A2. Pre-1982 records are less reliable, especially at low flows, but above 2m the effect is probably not severe. Due to rating review AMAX series re-calculated (to 2001 water year). Bed level was programmed incorrectly for a period, leading to approx 26 cumecs being missed in November 2000 event. The peak has been corrected for these errors.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 Sandsone 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.Public water supply abstraction u/s at Niddmouth, with increasing impact on very low flows. Some artificial groundwater augmentation is now a counterbalancing influence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 augment low flows.

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%.

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. Weir breached and 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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).

Previously an ultrasonic station.Flows pre-October 2017 are derived from multi-path ultrasonics. Post-October 2017 are from velocity area rated section, channel around 10m wide. Ultrasonics decommissioned during flood defence works in the town which was severely impacted by winter 15/16 floods. Station was previously known as Caldene Bridge (name changed in 2008). Replacement site upstream under investigation.No cableway present. Full range station but suspended solids / entrained air can cause signal attenuation in flood conditions (impacts ultrasonic data only). Flow is contained by high wall to around 3.9m stage. Some of the largest flood events have small amount of bypass on the left bank, 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 flow gauge susceptible to failure at high flows, peak flows were sometimes derived from the rated flow. One peak flow rating applied to the period of record, this was revised in 2017 following review and hydraulic modelling, it is thought to give a reasonably good estimate of peak flows including out of bank events.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 onwards 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.

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.

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.

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 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. One peak flow rating 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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Prior to 1991, non-operational velocity-area rating was not suitable to process flow due to being subject to variable backwater influence 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 ok at low flows, but at medium to high flows prone to error due to variable backwaters. Multipath cross-configuration US station installed 1991. Four major flood relief culverts on right bank and one major culvert on left bank. Rather contentious datum history, although most level changes visible on charts now thought to be due to changes in channel and sedimentation/maintenance.Chart record commences 01/01/1955, digital record commences 31/12/1982. Station could reliably be used for level only POT from 1955 to 1991. POT flow record should commence from 1991 and therefore held for this period only.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.

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 95 percentile flow.

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. 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.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.

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 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.

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 from 1968 to 1996. An ultrasonic gauge was installed in 1996. Highest transducer 7m. Cableway spans 105m. The station provides the most downstream gauge on the Fluvial Trent and lies immediately upstream of Cromwell Weir (Trent tidal limit) - with the backwater from Cromwell Weir affecting the high flow rating.Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from August-1986 when ultrasonic installed. Velocity-Area station (Pre-1996) was well rated up to the highest floods on record which included out of bank flows. Backwater from Cromwell Lock d/s affects high flow rating. Above 2.8mASD, the station is bypassed on the right bank. Generally the ultrasonic gauge is thought to underestimate flows and the rating overestimate flows.US gauge augmented VA station for low flows in 1996. 1976 low flows (late June to early September) likely calculated by multiplying the flows at Colwick by a factor of 1.05 (representing the long terms ratio of mean flows).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.

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, cableway span 25m.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.

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.

Built to measure flows entering Sherwood Sandstone outcrop.Rated by current meter. Two ratings applied across period of record, the most recent is valid from June-1998. Confident in rating to bankfull which fits gaugings well. One gauging above bankfull taken in 1976-1984 when mining subsistence had caused the weir to permanently drown. Mining subsidence in 1976 caused permanent drowning of flume until downstream channel was re-graded in 1981. Theoretical Flat-V equation applied from 2015 onwards with tail water corrections above modular limit of structure.Flows significantly affected by u/s quarry de-watering, giving recessions a stepped appearance. Sewage effluent dominates low flows. Station closed between 1984 and 1990.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.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). 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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 larriner 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.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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).Standard Flat V calculation. Remains modular and is virtually full range. Peak flow rating is reasonably accurate, but all gaugings are at low flows. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is located within an suburban area with relatively low rainfall.Flat V weir, 6m wide, situated within a concrete-lined channel.Structure drowns occasionally and all but extreme floods are contained. The station is subject to debris accumulation. Floats get caught up on step irons in the stilling well. Standard Flat V calculation. Structure operates in accordance with theory of Flat V weirs and estimating accuracy is high. However, this accuracy can only be verified at low stages.The weir is insensitive. Level data and rating available for 1972 to 1979 data. 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.

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.

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.

Dating from 1883, it is of major historical and modern day significance. Naturalised flows are available for the period of record. 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. 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 & 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.

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.

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.

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.

The catchment is mainly pervious limestone; flows are influenced by various abstractions.Compound broad-crested weir (total crest width 8.3m) with complementary side-spilling weir (14.9m wide) into bypass channel. 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.Large capacity weir but is subject to drowning. Both weirs drown and are bypassed at very high flows. Weed build up, especially during summer, on the crest of the main channel concrete control structure has been an historical problem. From 1962 a calibration based upon gaugings was adopted resulting in a good rating. Rating estimates flows to a good level of accuracy but needs confirmation at the highest flows where gauging is difficult. The weir rating is very insensitive at low flows for the main weir structure. Fish pass bypasses 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.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.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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 has been 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 September 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, 1976 & October/November 2012).

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).

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.

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.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.

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.

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.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.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

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.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).

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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).

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).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).

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 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.

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.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 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 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 calcualted through the old rating. New rating gave minimal change to flow magnitude across the flow range so flows pre-1978 are still usable.A largely urban/suburban catchment in North-West London. Responsive regime with very artificial low flow pattern (Welsh Harp reservoir is u/s).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The flow up to 4.75 cumecs is based on power law rating in three sections. Above this the ultrasonic calculates flow. Flat V Weir with multi-path ultrasonics. Ultrasonics were installed in 2000 but not incorporated into the flow record until 2012. 2000 Rebuild superseded original Flat V (1992-2000) in embanked river section with paved bed and weir 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).

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

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 0.2m to confirm rating.Missing data in 2015 due to station re-build.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.

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.

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.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.

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.

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 & 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 rating, velocity-area calibration for high flows - but wide uncertainty band. Three peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Rating extended to 1.8m by hydraulic modelling but low confidence beyond 1.13m as out of bank.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Flow regime has a large groundwater component.Compound Crump profile weir (crest widths 3.05m and 2 x 5.03m), central bay 0.3m lower. New ultrasonic gauge 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Minor gw abstractions in catchment.

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). 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.Runoff reduced by 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 changes to catchment.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.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.

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).

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 site maintenance. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in October 2018 (WINFAP Files v7).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.

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.

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. Crowdy Reservoir in north-east of catchment affects runoff. Runoff reduced by public water supply abstraction. Sewage effluent returns from Bodmin.

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.

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.

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.

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 north-east of the catchment affects runoff. Runoff reduced by Public Water Supply abstraction. Sewage effluent returns from Bodmin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.Wing walls higher than surrounding land. Meanders downstream cause backing-up at high flows, with inundation before structure is full (1.15m) and extensive bypassing. Extensive out-of-bank ponding. Original rating applied across period of record, based on theoretical flat V equation, altered because gaugings show lower than expected flows. Some scatter in gaugings and rating is poor fit beyond 0.6m.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.

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).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.

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.

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.

Flow record is the combined series for Gilt Edge and Callows Lane (including peak flows as stations have the same indicative suitability). 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 - an alternative peak in Dec 2000 is listed as the maximum in the Hydrometric Register. 2011 flows still subject to further processing with development of new rating.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.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.

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.

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.

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.

Modification of flows by reservoir regulation, public water supply abstraction and effluent returns. Channel control velocity-area station replacing Cadora (55001, 1937-71; 4040 sq.km. which was tidally affected; flows incorporated in the Redbrook series). Width at bankfull stage approx 69m.All but extreme floods contained. Severe summer weed growth problems causes gaugings to be increasingly undertaken by ADCP just u/s of Bigsweir Bridge, 7km d/s where channel is clearer. Gaugings at Redbrook are done by cableway. Flow regime moderately modified by exports and regulation. Two peak flow ratings applied across period of record. Recent gauged high flows (1998 onwards) indicate backing up problem (possibly vegetation growth) leading to scatter above 4.5m.In 2013, comprehensive rating review resulted in new ratings dating back to 1977, affecting both GDFs throughout the entire flow range (some increases in flow, some decreases) and HIFs (largely decreases). Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2020 (WINFAP Files v9).Very large catchment; wet in upland areas to the west, drier in lower-lying areas in east and south. Mixed Palaeozoic geology, impermeable rocks of Ordovician to Carboniferous age. Catchment is mainly grassland, with moorland, forestry and grazing on higher ground; mixed farming with greater proportion of arable land in lower reaches.

Bankfull width 30m.Cableway span 54m. All but exceptional floods contained. Issues with stilling well intake pipe from 2006, notably affecting low flows, lead to long-term reliance on back-up recorder and culminated in eventual station rebuild in 2012/13. Following rebuild in July 2013, all ratings reviewed. Two peak flow ratings across period of record. Flow series up to 1969 from 55005 Rhayader Groe; data generally thought to be of poorer quality. Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2019 (WINFAP Files v8).Wet, upland catchment draining impermeable, metamorphosed Silurian sediments. High relief, headwaters reach over 600m, and feature steep sided valleys and high gradient streams. Dominant land use is grassland with moorland and extensive areas of forest in headwaters.Only gauging station on the main River Wye that is unaffected by large water supply reservoir (flows from Elan Valley Reservoir complex enter the Wye just d/s).

Regarded as natural runoff until the construction of 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 impermeable Lower Silurian slates, grits and conglomerates. Steep terrain with little soil cover and extensive areas of peat bogs.The discharge was regarded as natural runoff until the construction of Claerwen reservoir in 1948.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.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.

High flows may be affected by confluence with River Gwydderig 100m d/s, causing some non-modular flow. Ultrasonic prone to dropping out during high flows. Variable back water causes a problem. Multiple peak flow ratings applied across period of record.Low flows in Aug - Sep 1995 are suspect due to work on weir prior to installation of ultrasonics. Low flows in Jul - Aug 2006 are suspect due to period of turbulent levels. Peak flood flow of 63.5 cumecs in Oct 1985 was extrapolated, subject to some uncertainty. Digital peak flow archive data (WISKI) starts 1 Jan 1979. Flows since 2011 are over-estimated, awaiting rating review.Impermeable Ordovician substrate, with alluvium on valley floor.

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. Mostly lowland catchment.

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).

Used as a FWS since u/s Rheidol FWS was washed away in 2012. Removed from peak flows dataset in April 2017 (WINFAP Files v5).Cableway at site. Shoaling affects gauged section, very mobile bed. Inlet pipe prone to blocking/drying - exposed in low flows and buried at high flows. Flood banks constructed in 2001. Rb stabilised with heavy rock armour in 2012. Floods contained, except in extreme events, by flood bank on rb of 3.0m. Lower limit of current rating is 0.452m, and flows for levels below this considered suspect due to shifting shoals. Some gaugings at flows greater than bank full but with some scatter.

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 >100mm storm; 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 MA. 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 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.

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.

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.

Problems with scouring of bed - boulders and shale move in flood. New rating created after gravel clearance in July 2004, which followed significant accretion since 2001. Bed has since thought to have remained relatively stable. High responsiveness and geographical location make site difficult to gauge and high flow gauging is impaired by poor visibility. Steep mountainous catchment with much bare rock. Predominantly forested.Highly responsive.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Immediately d/s of rectangular channel beneath disused railway bridge. Originally a temporary timber weir between Sept 1967 and Sept 1969. Effective as low flow station only. 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.

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, 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%.

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 u/s of site, hence rating only computes flows when stage exceeds 0.05m.

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.

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 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).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.

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.

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.

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. Two 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).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.

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. Minor abstractions and discharges.

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.

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 outflow to Manchester Ship Canal. Some minor abstractions and discharges.

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.

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.

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).

Station closed 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 January 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).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.

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).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.

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.

Replaced 69006 Bollin at Dunham Massey.Flat V Weir with tapered downstream face. 11.6m wide B.S. This station replaces 69006 Bollin at Dunham Massey (750m downstream), which was closed as a flow station on 10/01/2002.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. 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.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.Very responsive regime. Reservoirs and many industrial abstractions and discharges affect low flows particularly.

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.

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.

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 20m3/s. 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. Gap in data June 2020 due to ultrasonics failure.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.

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 22/08/87 reduced from 69.1 to 36.5 m3s-1. Minor effect below 8 m3s-1, 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. Catchment area of 74.4 km2 excludes portion now draining to Rivington reservoirs.

Since 2009 the station has only been used for peak flows.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 with rating for peak flows only.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.Low and medium flows are not generated.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.

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. All flows inbank, and thought not to drown. To counter problems with sediment \ 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 & 2000s) to top of concrete flume with hydraulic model (limited survey) to extend the rating.Daily flow data presented to 1974. Annual maxima are presented for the period of record, though 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.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 and Jan-Feb 2011 due instrument fault. No data after February 2020 floods pending rating review.Steep, mountainous catchment rising to over 700m.Very flashy.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.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.

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 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.

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).

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. No data from 03/03/2017 until 23/07/2018 because of station refurbishment. Re-rating following temporary closure ongoing.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.

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.

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).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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Upper limbs of rating developed by hydraulic modelling. Flood Studies Report grade B. 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.

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. 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 and June to Aug 2019, the last of which was due to station telemetry rebuild.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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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.

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. Current rating dates from October 2008 following significant channel scour event and gaugings up to 50cumecs show considerable deviation from earlier ratings.Flows over 60 cumecs should presently be regarded with caution. Some monthly naturalised flows available (1967-74).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.

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.

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.

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.

Adequate gauging up to QMED, more high flow measurements would be advantageous as simple extrapolation of the rating curve is used beyond 65m3/s.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).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 igneous intrusive and extrusive lithologies. Drift geology - upstream, glacial till is overlain by significant sand and gravel and more restricted river alluvium. Downstream, sand and gravel may be absent or hidden by laterally more extensive river alluvium.

Main and backup instruments present both using shaft encoders with float & weight. Channel width c.32m at station.Natural bed control downstream of station. Single rating across period of record derived from current meter gaugings. Low flow gauging conducted from upstream road bridge as bed is too rocky to safely wade gauge despite shallow depths at station. High flows gaugings conducted using cableway. Top of flood bank 3.84m. Simple extrapolation used beyond maximum gauged level at 3.04m. 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.The two highest flows on record took place within 3 weeks of each other in November/December 2015 both surpassing the previous long-held Peak Flow record from 1985. Daily flows from 1975 onwards reprocessed in 2002. POT threshold revised in 2017 using entire period of record data up to 2015 water year.

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. Two peak flow ratings 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).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.

During river works the cap was removed from weir leading to site moving upstream at ID 049 090 on 1/11/80, retaining same name. Multiple rating curves, derived from current meter gaugings. No cableway, high flow gauging from gauging bridge. Simple extrapolation used above approx 51m3/s. High flow gauging in 2002 confirmed validity of rating.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. Water year 1969/1970 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).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.

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 46m3/s.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.

Predominantly rural catchment and the smallest catchment of all the NI stations in the Peak Flows dataset at 22.5km2.Velocity-area station with standpipe housing pressure probe instrument on left bank, immediately upstream of wooden gauging bridge and slightly further 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).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.

Velocity-area station, previously with cableway which was vandalised in 2016. Masonry hut housing cableway winch on right bank. 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 active.Natural in-channel control. Contained at all flows. Upper half of Maine 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. Two peak flow ratings 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).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.

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.
