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 Teise 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.

1 gauged tributary, 1 gauge

River Bewl name from the river map

Joins the Teise between Lamberhurst and Stonebridge, no more than 7.9 km by river above Stonebridge.

BEWL BRIDGE GS0.52 m3/s 31m ago—

Its water passes Stonebridge and every gauge below it on the Teise. It does not pass Lamberhurst or the gauges above it.

Where the Teise goes

Below Stonebridge, its water next reaches STONE BRIDGE GS, 40 m 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

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

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 3 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 Stonebridge: 82 spills over 557 hours in total, across all 3.

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 Teise includes the smaller streams that join it there.

Near these gauges, connection not known

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

  • Whitegates Lane Wadhurst WwTW Not discharging
    Southern Water · into Trib Of River Teise · 1.5 km from Bartley Mill in a straight line · no mapped watercourse close enough to be sure · 2025: 22 spills, 71 h
  • Smiths Lane(Goudhurst)wwtw, Smiths Not discharging
    Southern Water · into A Trib Of The River Teise · 1.8 km from Stonebridge in a straight line · its watercourse is not on the river map · 2025: 3 spills, 2.4 h

2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Teise’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.

14 sampling points on the River Teise and the streams that join it above Stonebridge. 5 have a sample from the last 12 months; 10 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.
