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 Moors River above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

Moors River — Dorset Stour

1 gauged tributary, 1 gauge

Uddens Water

Joins the Moors River above Hurn Court, its highest gauge, no more than 8.1 km by river above Hurn Court.

Ferndown Tricketts Cross0.34 m 13h agoold reading

Its water passes every gauge on the Moors River, from Hurn Court down.

Where the Moors River goes

Below Hurn Court, its water next reaches Iford Bridge, a gauge on River Stour, 4.8 km by river downstream.

Moors River — Shropshire Middle Severn

No gauged tributary joins the Moors River above Mor Brook on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Moors River goes

Below Mor Brook, its water next reaches Bewdley, a gauge on River Severn, 19.4 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.

Moors River — Dorset Stour

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Moors River 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.

Storm overflows upstream

Moors River — Dorset Stour

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

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 8 not discharging
  • 0 offline or silent: 0 monitor offline, 0 status unknown, 0 no live feed

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Hurn Court: 84 spills over 641 hours in total, across all 8.

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 Moors River includes the smaller streams that join it there.

2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Moors River’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

Moors River — Shropshire Middle Severn

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Mor Brook 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 Moors River’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.

  • Underhill Street Pumping Station Not discharging
    Severn Trent Water · into River Severn (Non Tidal) · 2.4 km from Mor Brook in a straight line · discharges to the sea, an estuary or tidal water · 2025: 11 spills, 31 h

6 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Moors River’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.

Water samples

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.

Moors River — Dorset Stour

19 sampling points on the Moors River and the streams that join it above Hurn Court, and below it. 5 have a sample from the last 12 months; 6 have any sample banked. Listed from the source down, grouped by the next gauge each one's water reaches.

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.
