Savick Brook
A stream near Cow Hill, Lancashire. No gauge of its own: what the river map and the banked data say about it.
Savick Brook is a stream on Ordnance Survey’s river map near Cow Hill, Lancashire, with about 16 km of mapped channel. On the map it flows into the River Ribble and out to the sea.
Next gauge downstream
None: the lower end of Savick Brook is tidal on the river map. The tide carries water past a gauge both ways there, so no gauge is named downstream of it.
Storm overflows on Savick Brook

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 Savick Brook
6 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 Savick Brook 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.
