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 Yeo 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 Yeo between Sherborne Lake and Pen Mill, no more than 15.1 km by river above Pen Mill.
| Chetnole | 0.12 mASD 1h ago | Normal |
Its water passes Pen Mill and every gauge below it on the Yeo. It does not pass Sherborne Lake or the gauges above it.
Joins the Yeo between Pen Mill and Ilchester, no more than 12.0 km by river above Ilchester.
| Weston Bampfylde | 0.01 m 1h ago | Low |
Its water passes Ilchester and every gauge below it on the Yeo. It does not pass Pen Mill or the gauges above it.
Joins the Yeo between Ilchester and Huish Episcopi Pumping Station, no more than 4.7 km by river above Huish Episcopi Pumping Station.
| Long Load | 7.40 mASD 1h ago | Normal |
Its water passes Huish Episcopi Pumping Station and every gauge below it on the Yeo. It does not pass Ilchester or the gauges above it.
Below Huish Episcopi Pumping Station, its water next reaches Westover Pumping Station, a gauge on River Parrett, 2.9 km by river downstream.
No gauged tributary joins the Yeo above Lapford on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.
Below Lapford, its water next reaches Newnham Bridge, a gauge on River Taw, 17.9 km by river downstream.
No gauged tributary joins the Yeo above Yeoford on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.
Below Yeoford, its water next reaches Cowley Bridge, a gauge on River Creedy, 15.1 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.

31 storm overflows are traced upstream of Huish Episcopi Pumping Station, the Yeo’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Yeo itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Huish Episcopi Pumping Station: 789 spills over 8,396 hours in total, across all 31.
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 Yeo 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.

Within 3 km of one of the Yeo’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
11 more near these gauges whose connection is not known.
5 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below the Yeo’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.
5 storm overflows are traced upstream of Lapford, the Yeo’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Yeo itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.
Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Lapford: 237 spills over 2,390 hours in total, across all 5.
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 Yeo includes the smaller streams that join it there.
Within 3 km of one of the Yeo’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Yeoford on the river map. That is not the same as none: the map leaves out many small streams and culverts, so an overflow it cannot place may still drain here, and not every company publishes every overflow.
Within 3 km of one of the Yeo’s gauges in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water reaches it.
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.
Sampled most recently, anywhere on these rivers and their streams:
45 sampling points on the River Yeo and the streams that join it above Huish Episcopi Pumping Station, and below it. 18 have a sample from the last 12 months; 19 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.
