A stream near Waverton, Cumberland. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.
The River Waver is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Waverton, Cumberland, with about 24 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into Channel of River Waver and out to the sea.
None: the lower end of the River Waver 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 →
