The watercourse nearest Wallington

The nearest watercourse on the river map is Wallington River, about 10 m from the middle of Wallington's gauges. It flows on to the sea.

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 Wallington River nearest the middle of Wallington's gauges.
