Hydrology Data- England and Wales

Is there data for rivers south of the border such as can be found on:

www.sepa.org.uk/data/river_levels/index.htm

And if not, given the amount we pay the Enviroment Agency, why not?

Adding to Rob's comment, why do not more fisheries put themselves onto such sites as Fishtweed? Indeed, why does not the riparian ownership of, say, the Cumbrian Eden join up too??

Pay 60p a minute and you can get a recorded message to listen to when you call the river line, only updated once every 24 hrs as far as I know, yes its crap and we need and deserve something better but the EA are far too busy wasting 100K encouraging people from ethnic backgrounds to fish to set up anything like what is available in Scotland. I am only a good job offer or a lottery win from moving over the border.

Just been sent this by "smigel"

Only any good if you are an Exe fisher but it is a start. There was a heron on it earlier but I didn't see him catch so I'm not the only one struggling on the Exe.

Nice one Andy and smigel. That saves me a 42 mile round trip to check water levels!

Currently looks good for the canoeists.

because its under licence and so costs money to join i suspect - the owner has to balance cost of joining against any projected returns - its a long way from free;
