The National River Flow Archive has had several names over the years since I first started using it years ago. It operates a network of gauges measuring discharge and plotting trends, to feed into modelling of river flow and catchment management.
This is an interesting update on what has been available on GaugeMap for a while.
Click on a gauge, and you get a detailed description of it.
Here's one on the Wensum, just outside Norwich - a location I know well.
Choose the LIVE DATA tab to get a much more detailed set of data than was previously shared (in the same way at least...) - mouse over for current values.
Click the CATCHMENT DATA tab to get further detail on the river catchment feeding that gauge. This could be useful for those exploring a particular river case study at GCSE.
I've just been updating the Hodder OCR GCSE books for their 2nd editions and might be able to squeeze this in there for the River Wye case study which we have used.
Here are some of the gauges in Norfolk, for example.Live data tabs are available for around 475 NRFA sites that the @EnvAgency have released live data for in their API.
