Year by year

The Environment Agency's official annual returns, counted the EA's way (12/24-hour spills). 2026 is our own running count, the same way, from the live feed since 28 February (when we began keeping every discharge it reports) — so it can only be lower than the full year. The official figure is published next spring.

6 spills · 97 h

A spill is the EA's 12/24-hour count: the first 12 hours of a discharge count as one, each further 24 hours with discharge as one more. "Monitor" is the share of that year the monitor was working, so a 0 beside a working monitor is a real zero; "no data" means the monitor produced no usable data that year — not zero. Years before 2024 are matched to this site by name and location, because the EA's site IDs changed that year; a monitor figure beside one of them means the outlet's permit confirms the match.

Discharges we have recorded

1,972 discharge periods since 1 Jan 2022, 1 still open. 1,970 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, Jan 2022 – Dec 2025); the live feed adds anything after that. The official annual count is the figure to quote.
