Sample Hydrograph of Gauged Daily Flows

Flow Duration Curve for Gauged Daily Flows

Station Description

Velocity-area station with calibration by wading. Flat V weir installed in 1991. Gauged to approx. 1.2 QMED. Minor floodplain flow (left bank) during floods. High flow gauging from bridge on d/s side, as u/s flows less uniform. Simple extrapolation used above max gauging of 30.77m3/s. Flows not contained. Prior to weir installation rating based solely on gaugings. Flows from 1978 onwards reprocessed in 2002. Natural regime - no water abstractions or significant effluent returns.

Catchment Description

Geology: entirely Silurian overlain with limited till. Catchment rises to over 500m. Predominantly improved grassland and upland heath. Catchment contains one large village (Dromora, pop. 597, 2001 census).

For many stations monthly peak flows are also archived. When daily flow data are not available monthly mean flows may be held on the National River Flow Archive. See Data Holdings for further information.
