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 Leet Water 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.

No gauged tributary joins Leet Water above Coldstream on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Leet Water goes

Below Coldstream, its water next reaches Norham, a gauge on River Tweed, 12.3 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

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

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

No official annual figure is held for this overflow, so there is no total to give.

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 Leet Water includes the smaller streams that join it there.

Near these gauges, connection not known

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

  • Wark Sewage Treatment Works Not discharging
    Northumbrian Water · into The Goat · 1.5 km from Coldstream in a straight line · no mapped watercourse close enough to be sure · 2025: 24 spills, 25 h
  • Cornhill SPS Not discharging
    Northumbrian Water · into Trib Of The River Tweed · 2.2 km from Coldstream in a straight line · its watercourse is not on the river map · 2025: 1 spill, 0.6 h

4 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Leet 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.
