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 Salfords Stream 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.

Salfords Stream — Mole

1 gauged tributary, 1 gauge

Redhill Brook

Joins Salfords Stream above Salfords Bridge, its highest gauge, no more than 9.8 km by river above Salfords Bridge.

Redhill0.53 mASD 28m agoNormal

Its water passes every gauge on Salfords Stream, from Salfords Bridge down.

Where Salfords Stream goes

Below Salfords Bridge, its water next reaches Dorking, a gauge on River Mole, 19.3 km by river downstream.

Salfords Stream — Ouse

No gauged tributary joins Salfords Stream above Scrasebridge on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Salfords Stream goes

Below Scrasebridge, its water next reaches Freshfield Bridge, a gauge on River Ouse, 5.2 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.

Storm overflows upstream

Salfords Stream — Mole

1 storm overflow is traced upstream of Salfords Bridge, Salfords Stream’s lowest gauge on the river map: on Salfords Stream itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

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

Official figures for 2025, for the overflow traced upstream of Salfords Bridge: 19 spills over 206 hours.

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 Salfords Stream includes the smaller streams that join it there.

1 other overflow within 3 km of these gauges is placed below Salfords Stream’s lowest gauge or on another river, so not listed.

Salfords Stream — Ouse

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

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 5 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 Scrasebridge: 91 spills over 415 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 Salfords Stream includes the smaller streams that join it there.

2 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Salfords Stream’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.

Salfords Stream — Mole

3 sampling points on the Salfords Stream and the streams that join it above Salfords Bridge, and below it. 2 have a sample from the last 12 months; 3 have any sample banked. Listed from the source down, grouped by the next gauge each one's water reaches.

Salfords Stream — Ouse

No Environment Agency sampling point is placed on the Salfords Stream or the streams above its lowest gauge on the mapped rivers. That is not the same as none: the river map leaves out many small streams.

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.
