Sample Hydrograph of Gauged Daily Flows

Flow Duration Curve for Gauged Daily Flows

Station Description

Main channel flow measured in 3.2m wide standing wave flume under mill. Flow in bypass channel measured at Crump profile weir (crest 6.12m) since 1969 and flows summed to produce total. Before 1969 flows through bypass controlled by broad-crested weir with no recorder, and total flows based on average relationship between levels in main channel and bypass. Very high flows bypass both channels. No major abstractions but sewage effluent can effect flow patterns.

Catchment Description

Mostly clay (70%) with 30% superficial deposits, mainly Boulder Clay. predominantly rural catchment with land use of mixed farming.

Factors Affecting Runoff

Runoff increased by effluent returns.
