Kielder reservoir is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the River North Tyne, in Northumberland. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes.
The nearest watercourse on the river map is Ugly Dub (River North Tyne), about 20 m from the middle of Kielder reservoir's gauges. It flows into the River Tyne about 46 km downstream.
A gauge downstream shows water that has already passed this point; one upstream sees it first. Distances along the river are from the point on Ugly Dub (River North Tyne) nearest the middle of Kielder reservoir's gauges. From Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers), which leaves out small streams, ditches and culverts, so a nearer one may exist.
