River Medina
A stream near East Cowes, Isle of Wight. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.
The River Medina is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near East Cowes, Isle of Wight, with about 20 km of mapped channel. Where it goes is not known: the map has a gap below it.
Next gauge downstream
None: the lower end of the River Medina is tidal on the river map. The tide carries water past a gauge both ways there, so no gauge is named downstream of it.

A status says whether an overflow is discharging now, never how much or why. A monitor that is offline or has not reported is not “not discharging”. Sewage in Britain’s rivers →

Water-sampling points on the River Medina
4 Environment Agency sampling points are placed on this stream. These are dated samples taken by hand, not live readings, and FloodRadar does not grade them.
A sample is taken on a date; it says nothing about the water today. A sample below an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from.

What this page can and cannot tell you
- Its line, its name and where it flows come from Ordnance Survey’s river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small streams, ditches and culverts. “Flows into” is the map’s word: a channel that is not on the map is not shown here, which does not mean it is not there.
- No gauge measures the River Medina itself, so its own level is not known here.
- Storm overflows are listed only where the river map places them on this stream; an overflow it could not place is not counted.
- Water samples are England’s only (the Environment Agency’s archive), placed where the map can place their sampling point.
- Nothing on this page says whether any place floods. For an address, see its postcode page.
