History
What this means
The Environment Agency has the River Otter at Budleigh South Farm Road White Bridge at 0.85 m. There is no published reference for this river yet, so we can't say whether that is high or low for the season.
It has barely moved over the past 24 hours. The 30-day range is 0.85 m – 0.87 m.
The agency publishes no normal range for this gauge yet, so we show the trend only. How to read levels
For anglers and canoeists
Without a reference range, compare today with the chart: a sharp rise usually means coloured water.
Many angling and canoe clubs check gauges like this one before heading out.
About the River Otter
The River Otter is a river that rises in the Blackdown Hills just inside the county of Somerset, England near Otterford, then flows south through East Devon. It enters the English Channel at the western end of Lyme Bay, part of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Permian and Triassic sandstone aquifer in the Otter Valley is one of Devon's largest groundwater sources, supplying drinking water to 200,000 people.
