Dulais water levels

3 gauges. None of the 2 that can be compared with a typical high is above it. 3 storm overflows upstream are discharging now. Gauges in Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot; 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.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Dulais 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.

Dulais — Loughor Group

No gauged tributary joins the Dulais above Pwll Weir Stradey Home Farm River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Dulais goes

No gauge below Pwll Weir Stradey Home Farm River Station is known on the river map.

Dulais — Mid-Glamorgan Group

No gauged tributary joins the Dulais above Cilfrew River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Dulais goes

Below Cilfrew River Station, its water next reaches Neath Tidal River Station, a gauge on River Neath, 5.2 km by river downstream.

Dulais — Towy Group

No gauged tributary joins the Dulais above Llanwrda River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Dulais goes

Below Llanwrda River Station, its water next reaches Manorafon River Station, a gauge on Tywi, 13.2 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

Dulais — Loughor Group

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Pwll Weir Stradey Home Farm River Station 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.

Near these gauges, connection not known

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

Dulais — Mid-Glamorgan Group

5 storm overflows are traced upstream of Cilfrew River Station, the Dulais’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Dulais itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Cilfrew River Station: 405 spills over 5,014 hours in total, across all 5.

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 Dulais includes the smaller streams that join it there.

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.
