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 Urr Water 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.

No gauged tributary joins Urr Water above Dalbeattie on the river map. Streams without a gauge are not counted here.

Where Urr Water goes

No gauge below Dalbeattie is known on the river map.

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

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of Dalbeattie 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.

Near these gauges, connection not known

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

  • Dalbeattie, Burnside SPS CSO Not discharging
    Scottish Water · into Dalbeattie Burn · 1.0 km from Dalbeattie in a straight line · discharges into a tidal reach, where the water moves both ways · 2025: 0 overflow events, 0 h
  • Dalbeattie, Port Street SPS CSO Not discharging
    Scottish Water · into Dalbeattie Burn · 1.1 km from Dalbeattie in a straight line · discharges into a tidal reach, where the water moves both ways · 2025: 183 overflow events, 1,620 h
  • Dalbeattie Urr Road SPS EO Not discharging
    Scottish Water · into Dalbeattie Burn · 1.2 km from Dalbeattie in a straight line · discharges into a tidal reach, where the water moves both ways · 2025: 9 overflow events, 27 h

3 other overflows within 3 km of these gauges are placed below Urr Water’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.
