The watercourse nearest Standford

The nearest watercourse on the river map is the River Wey (South Branch) (River Wey), about 50 m from the middle of Standford's gauges. It flows into the River Thames about 73 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 the River Wey (South Branch) (River Wey) nearest the middle of Standford'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.
