Live levels from 3 monitoring stations across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, updated every 15 minutes.
| Station | Level now | Status | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pinxton | 0.06 mASD 1h ago | Low | ||
| 13.5 km by river | ||||

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.
Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.
Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Erewash above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.
Joins the Erewash between Pinxton and Shipley Gate, no more than 5.0 km by river above Shipley Gate.
| Eastwood | 0.24 mASD 3h ago | Normal |
Its water passes Shipley Gate and every gauge below it on the Erewash. It does not pass Pinxton or the gauges above it.
Joins the Erewash between Shipley Gate and Sandiacre, no more than 3.2 km by river above Sandiacre.
| Trowell | 0.33 mASD 1h ago | Normal |
Its water passes Sandiacre and every gauge below it on the Erewash. It does not pass Shipley Gate or the gauges above it.
Below Sandiacre, its water next reaches Clifton Bridge, a gauge on River Trent, 13.1 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.
42 storm overflows are traced upstream of Sandiacre, the Erewash’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Erewash itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Sandiacre: 899 spills over 4,962 hours in total, across the 41 that have a figure. 1 had no usable monitor data that year.
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 Erewash 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. Show every overflow in every stretch →
and 15 more: show all 18 overflows on this stretch → All above Shipley Gate, nearest first →
and 17 more: show all 20 overflows on this stretch → All above Sandiacre, nearest first →
Within 3 km of one of the Erewash’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
13 more near these gauges whose connection is not known.
4 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Erewash’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.

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.
30 sampling points on the River Erewash and the streams that join it above Sandiacre, and below it. 22 have a sample from the last 12 months; 23 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.
