Year by year

Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water's annual Event Duration Monitoring return to Natural Resources Wales (12/24-hour spill count), as compiled by The Rivers Trust. 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.

"No data" means the monitor was not working or not required to report that year — not zero.

Discharges we have recorded

570 discharge periods since 10 May 2023, 1 still open. 570 of them come from Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's own event-duration-monitoring records (published by the company, May 2023 – Dec 2023); the live feed adds anything after that. The official annual count is the figure to quote.

Nearest live rain gauge: Northop Raingauge, 5.2 km away. Brown shading = when this overflow was discharging; ▼ = a discharge start.

Overflow shading is a timing match, not proof of cause — heavy rain and spills share a trigger. Times come from the water company’s event-duration monitor (site status only; no discharge volume is published).
