Live levels from 1 monitoring station across Dundee City, updated every 15 minutes.
| Station | Level now | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Balmossie | 0.37 m 35m ago | Normal |
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.
Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins Dighty Water above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.
No gauged tributary joins Dighty Water above Balmossie on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.
No gauge below Balmossie 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.

1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Balmossie, Dighty Water’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Dighty Water itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Balmossie: 40 overflow events over 26 hours. Scottish Water counts overflow events, not the 12/24-hour spills counted in England and Wales, so this total cannot be set beside theirs.
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 Dighty Water includes the smaller streams that join it there.
Within 3 km of one of Dighty Water’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
1 other overflow within 3 km of these gauges is placed below Dighty Water’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.
