1 gauge, at Pothouse Wharf River Station. 9 storm overflows upstream are discharging now. Gauges in Carmarthenshire; levels are checked every 15 minutes.
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.
Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Tywi above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.
Named streams on the river map that flow into the Tywi 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.
