Environment Agency sampling point NW-88002189 · Freshwater - rivers · listed as closed

These are samples taken on a date, not live readings of the river. Results reach the Environment Agency's archive days to months after the sample is taken, so the newest here may be weeks or months old. FloodRadar does not grade them.

Everything measured here

No results were published for this point in the imported periods. That says nothing about the water: it was not sampled then, or its results are not public yet. Its newest sample in the archive, from 25 Mar 2014, is older than that and is not imported here.

FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
