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.
Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Waveney above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.
Named streams on the river map that flow into the Waveney 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.
Broome Beck (joins about 390 m above ELLINGHAM MILL SLUICE)
Bungay Tin River (joins about 2.8 km above ELLINGHAM MILL SLUICE)
40 storm overflows are traced upstream of Oulton Broad, the Waveney’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Waveney itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Oulton Broad: 301 spills over 1,635 hours in total, across the 39 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 Waveney includes the smaller streams that join it there. Every overflow traced is listed here, each stretch in full. Back to the short lists →

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.
115 sampling points on the River Waveney and the streams that join it above Oulton Broad. 56 have a sample from the last 12 months; 62 have any sample banked.

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.
