Nearby Stations
Gauges connected to this river, and others nearby. A distance “by river” follows the river on the map; any other is in a straight line.
Geographic coordinates may reflect the access point for the gauge, and not the precise location in the watercourse that it is taking readings from.

Possible storm-overflow correlation
💧 Storm overflows upstream of this gauge
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.
Nearby, connection not known
Within 6 km in a straight line, but the river map cannot say whether their water passes this gauge.
Is the River Taw at Sticklepath GS flooding today?
The current level is 0.13m, which is within the typical range of 0.06 to 1.10m. Flooding is unlikely at this level.
Is the river level rising or falling at Sticklepath GS?
Based on the most recent readings, the level is currently falling. The chart above shows the last 12 hours of measurements by default (up to 7 days), updated roughly every 15 minutes.
Why is the level slowly falling?
When little or no rain has fallen for a while, a river level gradually drops as the water stored in the ground and soil drains away with nothing to replace it. This is called baseflow recession and is normal in dry spells. Only about 2.1mm of rain has fallen nearby in the last 7 days, so the flow is being sustained mainly by groundwater. A gentle decline like this is expected and is not a sign of a problem — downstream gauges often recede a little faster than headwaters further upstream, and levels recover once rain returns.
What is a normal level for the River Taw at Sticklepath GS?
The typical range at this station is 0.06m to 1.10m, based on Environment Agency historical data. Levels above 1.10m 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.
