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 Carr 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.

Carr Brook — Don and Rother

No gauged tributary joins Carr Brook above Sheffield Carr Brook Screen on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Carr Brook goes

Below Sheffield Carr Brook Screen, its water next reaches Hadfields, a gauge on River Don, 4.4 km by river downstream.

Carr Brook — Lower Mersey

No gauged tributary joins Carr Brook above Atherton Woodland Drive on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Carr Brook goes

Below Atherton Woodland Drive, its water next reaches Lilford Park, Leigh, a gauge on Atherton Lake Brook, 5.0 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.

Storm overflows upstream

Carr Brook — Don and Rother

1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Sheffield Carr Brook Screen, Carr Brook’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Carr Brook itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

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

Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Sheffield Carr Brook Screen: 5 spills over 1.3 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 Carr Brook includes the smaller streams that join it there.

12 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Carr Brook’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

Carr Brook — Lower Mersey

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Atherton Woodland Drive on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.

7 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Carr 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.

Water samples

Dated samples taken by the Environment Agency, not live readings. Results are published days to months after the sample is taken, and many points are sampled only a few times a year, or have not been sampled for years.

Carr Brook — Don and Rother

2 sampling points on the Carr Brook and the streams that join it above Sheffield Carr Brook Screen, and below it. 0 have a sample from the last 12 months; 0 have any sample banked. Listed from the source down, grouped by the next gauge each one's water reaches.

Carr Brook — Lower Mersey

No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Carr Brook or the streams above its lowest gauge on the mapped rivers. That is not the same as none: the river map leaves out many small streams.

Distances are along the river to the gauge named. England's samples only.

FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
