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 Ings Beck 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.
9 storm overflows are traced upstream of Wakefield Colinsway, Ings Beck’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Ings Beck itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Wakefield Colinsway: 104 spills over 177 hours in total, across all 9.
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 Ings Beck includes the smaller streams that join it there.

9 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Ings Beck’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.
Ings Beck — Hull and East Riding
None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of South Newbald 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.
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.
Ings Beck — Aire and Calder
2 sampling points on the Ings Beck and the streams that join it above Wakefield Colinsway. 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.
Last sampled 11 Jun 2018, before the imported period
Ings Beck — Hull and East Riding
No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Ings Beck 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.
