Each one is saved as its own alert — pause or remove them individually any time.

Not an emergency service — if in danger call 999. Alerts rely on EA/SEPA/NRW data and are best-efforts. Terms

Flood predictions aren't generated for lock / structure gauges — their levels are driven by gate operation, not by catchment rainfall, so the forecast models would have no skill here.

Downstream level

7 days

The level on the DOWNSTREAM side of this lock/weir structure — a separate EA measure from the main (upstream) reading shown on the Current tab. Threshold bands are computed from this gauge's own downstream history.
