Heading downstream- North Muskham (non-tidal): level . [Alternate site here.] Typical range is 0.5m to 3m. As this document explains, 0.8m is a typical “summer” level, ie a small amount of water. 1.25m is a suggested “amber” warning level, and 1.5m and over is “red”.
- North Muskham (non-tidal): flow. Typical range is between 3,000 and 30,000 million litres a day. The former is equivalent to about 35 cubic metres a second (a more usual unit for river flows) and is not very much. The latter is ten times more, and is rather a lot even for a big river like the Trent.
