About River Ash at Knowle Green
River Ash at Knowle Green is a gauged river in England.
What the record shows
This gauge has more than 24 years of record. The highest level in the file is 1.08 m (3.55 ft), set in February 2014. The lowest is 0.29 m (0.95 ft), set in April 2026.
The seasonal pattern is narrow. January is the highest month on record, with a typical level of 0.46 m (1.51 ft), while August is the lowest month on record, with a typical level of 0.42 m (1.36 ft). The typical annual swing is 4.3 cm (1.7 in).
For people living beside the river, that tells you the range to expect through the year is modest, but the upper end still matters when bankfull margins are tight. For anglers, the small seasonal spread means the river often sits in a fairly similar band from month to month, with only a short climb into the winter high.
The watershed
No watershed name is given for this station, so the page should be read as a record of this reach and its seasonal rhythm rather than as a statement about a larger basin.
In temperate hydrology, spring peaks are often driven by snowmelt or rainfall, and summer low water is common. Here, the monthly record still shows the quieter late-summer level and the higher winter level, which is the pattern a local dock, bridge opening, or intake has to live with.
Reading the hero number
The hero number on this page is the current reading compared with the median for the same calendar day across the station record. That is more useful than raw elevation because it answers the practical question: is the river sitting above or below what is normal for this date?
The station is operated by the Environment Agency, and the comparison is built from this gauge’s own history, not from a generic river stage elsewhere.
How this page is built
Readings come from official government gauges and are rolled into daily records: the daily mean, high and low for every day on record. Each calendar day gets its own baseline from the full history, so the level you see is compared against what this specific date usually looks like rather than an annual average.
How Nibi Metrics works · Water stories
Nibi Metrics - live water levels, flow, and forecasts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK
Real-time water levels, forecasts, and alerts for lakes and rivers across Canada, the US and the UK. Built on official government data.
Nibi Metrics tracks more than 13,000 gauged lakes and rivers across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, reading directly from official federal monitoring networks: the Water Survey of Canada, the United States Geological Survey, Quebec's provincial hydrometric network, and the Environment Agency for England. Every number on the platform is measured, not modelled - taken from a government gauge on the water itself and compared against that location's own historical record for this exact date.
What you can see for any monitored lake or river
The level right now, in feet or metres, updated as the source agency publishes new readings - for many stations that is every five to fifteen minutes. How today compares to typical: every location carries its own typical-for-this-date band built from its historical record, so a reading is never just a number - it is above, below, or near what this water usually does on this calendar day. Which way it is moving: a measured RISING, FALLING, or STEADY verdict computed from the gauge's own recent readings, with the rate of change - the difference between a flood ending and one beginning. What comes next: level forecasts up to 72 hours ahead, driven by the gauge's recent behaviour, upstream water, and quantitative precipitation forecasts, alongside live radar, lightning, and weather for the surrounding region.
Alerts that watch the water for you
Set a threshold on any location - a level, a distance above typical, or a rate of climb - and Nibi emails or notifies you the moment the gauge crosses it. Cottagers use it for spring freshet, anglers for river conditions, marinas and municipalities for operations. The scanning runs around the clock against the same measured data shown on every page.
Where Nibi comes from
Nibi means water in Anishinaabemowin. The platform began at a family cottage on Lake Muskoka, Ontario, where the spring melt floods the shoreline most years and the only forecast was standing on the dock, looking, and guessing. It grew into an independent, member-funded platform run by Muskoka Research Inc. - no investors, no data resale, and a privacy policy shorter than most cookie banners. The core data is free for everyone, forever; paid plans add automation like multi-location alerts, deep history, and reports.
Coverage
Nibi spans the continent: every Canadian province and territory with active federal gauges - from Vancouver Island rivers to the Muskoka lakes, prairie reservoirs, and Quebec's hydrometric network - and the United States from Maine to the Texas Hill Country, the Ohio Valley, and the Pacific Northwest. Coverage grows where the water news is: when a basin floods, its gauges join the platform with their full historical records attached. Many stations report every five to fifteen minutes; most report at least hourly; every page states exactly when its gauge last spoke.
Free forever, funded by members
The core promise is simple: the water data is free, for everyone, forever. Live levels, maps, radar, and recent history never sit behind a paywall. Paid plans fund the platform by adding automation - multi-location alerts, decades of history, longer forecasts, and PDF reports - so the people who need more carry the cost for everyone who just needs to check the lake before driving up. There are no investors and no advertising deals shaping what the data says.
