River Stour — Stour and Worcestershire Middle Severn

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

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

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Puxton: 555 spills over 1,989 hours in total, across all 48.

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 Stour includes the smaller streams that join it there. Every overflow traced is listed here, each stretch in full. Back to the short lists →

River Stour — Warwickshire Avon

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

  • 0 report discharging now

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Wimpstone: 199 spills over 1,888 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 the Stour 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.

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.
