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 Gwili 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 the Gwili above Glan Gwili River Station on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Gwili goes

Below Glan Gwili River Station, its water next reaches Pothouse Wharf River Station, a gauge on Afon Tywi, 5.4 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.

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Gwili 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.

  • Afon Duad (joins about 8.9 km above Glan Gwili River Station)
  • Nant Alltwalis (joins about 15 km above Glan Gwili River Station)

Storm overflows upstream

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

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Glan Gwili River Station: 598 spills over 8,244 hours in total, across the 7 that have a figure. 1 has no 2025 figure.

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 Gwili includes the smaller streams that join it there.

2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Gwili’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.
