Quick pick:
You'll be notified when this gauge is rising more than 0.10 mASD/hr — a sign of rapidly increasing water levels.
Beta. You'll be notified when a flood wave detected at an upstream gauge is forecast to reach this station, with an estimated arrival time. Accuracy improves as we verify more waves.
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.

Flood history near this gauge
Official Environment Agency warnings issued since 2007 for the 3 flood
areas linked to this gauge (nearest 9.3 km away).
Warnings apply to a whole flood area, not necessarily this exact spot. Years before 2006 aren't covered by the EA's historic record.
See also the Goulceby flood history.
Geographic coordinates may reflect the access point for the gauge, and not the precise location in the watercourse that it is taking readings from.
Catchment Character
🌊 Groundwater-fedSlow and steady — fed largely by groundwater, so levels change gradually, not in sudden spikes.
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.
The physical character of the land that drains to this gauge, and how it shapes its flood response — from the National River Flow Archive (UKCEH).

Crump weir gauging a rural catchment with mixed geology, located in the Lincolnshire Wolds.
More detail
The catchment
Catchment on the scarp slope of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Underlain by Chalk and s'st with more than half of the catchment covered with superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay and some sands and gravels. Rural catchment, predominantly arable farming.
The station
Free-fall drop under bridge calibrated by c/m until Dec 1969 and standard full-range Crump profile weir (crest length 4.877m) since Aug 1971 (no records between).
How it measures flow
Three ratings applied across period of record, the first pre-weir, the second valid from 1971 when Crump installed, the third from 1979 following rating review.
Flow regime
Regime influenced by gw abstraction/recharge. Abstraction for irrigation could have significant effect on low flows in dry summers. Reservoir(s) in catchment affect runoff.
The flow record
Full period of record peak flow data reviewed and released in September 2023 (WINFAP Files v12).

Frequently asked questions
Is the River Bain at Goulceby flooding today?
The current level is 0.02m, which is below the typical range. Flooding is very unlikely at this level.
Is the river level rising or falling at Goulceby?
Based on the most recent readings, the level is currently steady. The chart above shows the last 7 days of measurements, updated roughly every 15 minutes.
What is a normal level for the River Bain at Goulceby?
The typical range at this station is 0.02m to 0.35m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 0.35m are higher than usually seen and may indicate a flood risk.
How often is this river level data updated?
Readings are taken by the Environment Agency gauge roughly every 15 minutes and FloodRadar refreshes its data continuously, so the level shown is normally less than an hour old.
