Meavy
4 monitoring stations on this water in England, holding 880 values between 1990 and 2023. A named watercourse. The gauges below sit on it, at points its publisher records.
The monitoring network on this water
Hydrionis holds 880 values from 4 gauges on this water. Discharge is a property of a gauge and its reach, not of this water as a whole, so this page reports the network and its records rather than a single figure.

How these gauges were attached to this water
Named by the publisher Each gauge here names this water in the publisher’s own station record. Hydrionis has not inferred the connection from station names.

What this record holds
Hydrionis decides which waters get a page, and which of those are offered to search, from what is actually held rather than from how the page reads. Five signals are counted; this record has 3 of them, which makes it a full profile.
| Signal | Held | Counts |
|---|---|---|
| Gauges holding a real record | 4 | yes, 3 or more |
| Years spanned | 34 | yes, 20 or more |
| Values held | 880 | no |
| Distinct measurements | 5 | yes, 2 or more |
| Publishers measuring it | 1 | no |
| Official identifiers | 1 | recorded, not counted |

Where these figures come from
Source: EA ecology — Ecology and Fish Data Explorer — freshwater macroinvertebrates, INV_OPEN_DATA_TAXA.csv. Licence: Open — attribution required (attribution required).
Method: Count of distinct mayfly, stonefly and caddisfly families in a standardised three-minute kick sample (method BT001). Every record is rolled up to its family through the Environment Agency’s own taxon dictionary before counting, because analysts identify to mixed ranks and counting raw taxa would measure the depth of identification. Records identified no further than the order are excluded.
