Storm overflows whose water reaches this gauge on the mapped river network, nearest first by distance along the river. The status is each water company's monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, not how much or what it contains.
20 storm overflows are traced upstream of this gauge, the nearest 15.0 km away along the river. 0 report discharging now, 18 report not discharging, and for 2 the monitor is offline or has not reported, so their status is not known.
