Also on the Teifi by the river map, but filed under another river name: Pontrydfendigaid No1 River Station, Pont Llanio River Station, Llanfair River Station and Glan Teifi River Station.

Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Teifi above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

Where the Teifi goes

No gauge below Cardigan Quay TideGauge is known on the river map.

Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge.

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Teifi and have no gauge of their own. Each has a page with what is known about it: the next gauge downstream, and any storm overflows or water-sampling points placed on it.

  • Afon Duar (joins about 16 km above Llanfair River Station)
  • Afon Grannell (joins about 20 km above Llanfair River Station)
  • Nant Bargod (joins about 17 km above Glan Teifi River Station)
  • Nant Cledlyn (joins about 9.9 km above Llanfair River Station)

Storm overflows upstream

46 storm overflows are traced upstream of Cardigan Quay TideGauge, the Teifi’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Teifi itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 12 report discharging now
  • 34 not discharging
  • 0 offline or silent: 0 monitor offline, 0 status unknown, 0 no live feed

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Cardigan Quay TideGauge: 3,303 spills over 37,783 hours in total, across the 42 that have a figure. 1 had no usable monitor data that year; 3 have no 2025 figure.

Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the Teifi includes the smaller streams that join it there. Where a stretch or a tributary has more than 4, the 3 discharging now or nearest its gauge are listed, the rest are counted, and every one is in that gauge’s “Upstream of here” list.

Near these gauges, connection not known

Within 3 km of one of the Teifi’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.

9 more near these gauges whose connection is not known.

1 other overflow within 3 km of these gauges is placed below the Teifi’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.
