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 Bechan Brook above one of its gauges, from the source down. The river map knows where gauges are, not every stream, so a tributary without a gauge is not listed here.
No gauged tributary joins Bechan Brook above Aberbechan River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.
Below Aberbechan River Station, its water next reaches Abermule River Station, a gauge on River Severn, 4.5 km by river downstream.
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.

1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Aberbechan River Station, Bechan Brook’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Bechan Brook itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Aberbechan River Station: 10 spills over 65 hours.
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 Bechan Brook includes the smaller streams that join it there.
2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Bechan Brook’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.
