| Below are guides to establish what the data from the gauges means | ||
| Greta highest 1.236 year avg 0.538 lowest 0.379 |
Duddon highest 0.957 year avg 0.482 low 0.286 |
Eamont high 1.530 year avg 0.651 low 0.463 |
| The 'highest' figures are about the max levels the river reaches (averaged over 24 hrs). Hence the actual peaks will be higher than this. The 'yearly average' is the level at which, for half the days of the year the river will be (on average) higher than this. The 'low' figure shows that the river is at a flow that it only drops to for 10% of days of the year. We are working on a more useful calibration system but need some time to calibrate the numbers on the gauge to the corresponding levels for paddling. Please help us with this task by recording the measure on the gauges when you see the river in reality, particularly at flows that are of interest to boaters. A picture of notable points or a precise note of what the river is doing would be of more use than a subjective description. |
