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

Where the Dove goes

Below Marston on Dove, its water next reaches Willington, a gauge on River Trent, 10.2 km by river downstream.

River Dove — Don and Rother

No gauged tributary joins the Dove above Stonyford Bridge on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Dove goes

Below Stonyford Bridge, its water next reaches Bolton Bridge, a gauge on River Dearne, 6.4 km by river downstream.

River Dove — Derwent

No gauged tributary joins the Dove above Kirkby Mills on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where the Dove goes

Below Kirkby Mills, its water next reaches Howe Bridge, a gauge on River Rye, 25.2 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. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.

River Dove — Dove

Streams without a gauge

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

River Dove — Don and Rother

Streams without a gauge

  • Dob Sike (joins about 2.4 km above Stonyford Bridge)

Storm overflows upstream

River Dove — Dove

50 storm overflows are traced upstream of Marston on Dove, the Dove’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Dove itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 50 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 Marston on Dove: 1,364 spills over 10,265 hours in total, across all 50.

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 Dove includes the smaller streams that join it there. Where a stretch or a tributary has more than 4, the 3 discharging now or nearest its gauge are listed, the rest are counted, and every one is in that gauge’s “Upstream of here” list.

River Dove — Derwent

4 storm overflows are traced upstream of Kirkby Mills, the Dove’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Dove itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 4 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 Kirkby Mills: 94 spills over 320 hours in total, across all 4.

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 Dove 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.

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.

England's samples only. Each count opens the list of those points, nearest first, with the date of each one’s latest sample (the gauge’s “Upstream of here” list).

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.
