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. Sewage & storm overflows →

This gauge has no rain model of its own, but it usually follows Galgate: when about 6mm of rain falls near Galgate in 6h, this gauge usually starts rising about 2 hours later.
Timing, not cause. Gauges can move together simply because the same rain fell on both.
