You'll be notified when this gauge is rising more than 0.10 m/hr — a sign of rapidly increasing water levels.
You'll be notified when a new storm-overflow (sewage) discharge starts within ~3 km of this gauge, based on the water companies' near-real-time feeds.

Nimbus beta
Experimental model fusing soil moisture, river flow, groundwater and catchment
character. The shaded band is its 10–90% range, widened so that about 80% of recent outcomes fall inside it.
Under evaluation — not yet promoted, so treat as a second opinion. The nearest rain gauge has sent no readings in the last day, so Nimbus has no recent measured rain to work from here.
River Flow
90 days
Daily mean discharge (m³/s) with the daily min–max band, from the EA Hydrology API. Flow is the volume of water passing the gauge — often a more direct flood signal than level.

None of the storm overflows FloodRadar holds is traced upstream of this gauge on the mapped river network. 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. Those nearby are listed below.

3 other overflows within 6 km are downstream of this gauge or on another branch of the river network, so they are not listed.
These are the water companies' monitor statuses; a spill does not by itself explain a change in the gauge level. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels. Explore the sewage map →
🌊 Mixed responseA balance of quick runoff and slower groundwater baseflow.
Your catchment is all the land that drains rainfall into the river above this gauge. Its character — how
steep, wet, wooded, urban or chalky that land is — decides how fast rain here turns into a rising river. A steep, bare or clay
catchment is “flashy” (rises and falls quickly, floods easily); a flat, chalk or well-wooded one is
slow and steady. The tiles below put numbers to that; the flow-duration curve reads left-to-right
from the river’s typical high flows (Q5) down to its low flows (Q95) — a steep curve means a flashy river.

More detail
The catchment
The catchment if made up mainly of Upper and Lower Devonian slates. Because of the low permeability of the rocks, rainfall can result in rapid runoff and therefore, river levels generally rise quickly after rain. No major changes to catchment.
The station
Open channel rated section located within flood defence scheme. Station located upstream of non-standard weir and fish pass and rated by gauging. ADVP flow gauge also installed to assist in rating process.
How it measures flow
Flows contained by flood banks at site. Gauged to 75% of QMED. Site is insensitive at low flows. Two peak flow ratings applied across the period of record. Reasonable confidence in low flows now following gaugings after work on fish pass and weir. Lowest gauging currently at 0.170m stage. More gaugings needed to confirm both the low flow and high flow ratings.
Flow regime
The catchment is almost exclusively rural consisting of farmland and moorland.
Timing, not cause. Gauges can move together simply because the same rain fell on both.
Frequently asked questions
Is the River Camel at Camelford Enfield Park flooding today?
The current level is 0.21m, which is within the typical range of 0.18 to 0.80m. Flooding is unlikely at this level.
Is the river level rising or falling at Camelford Enfield Park?
Based on the most recent readings, the level is currently steady. The chart above shows the last 12 hours of measurements by default (up to 7 days), updated roughly every 15 minutes.
What is a normal level for the River Camel at Camelford Enfield Park?
The typical range at this station is 0.18m to 0.80m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 0.80m are higher than usually seen and may indicate a flood risk.
How often is this river level data updated?
Readings are supplied by the Environment Agency gauge. FloodRadar checks for updates roughly every 15 minutes; the timestamp above shows how recent the latest available reading is.
