Location | Swine Clough, in the headwaters of Losterdale; the weir is upstream of the channel gauge and has a significantly smaller contributing area. LOS_stock has largely been superseded by LOS_stock_weir, but monitoring is continuing at the former site. |
Abstracrions | There are no upstream United Utilities abstraction points |
Related sited | Upstream site, none; downstream site, LOS_out; other sites in Langden subcatchment, LOS_mid, HAR_out, LAN_mid and LAN_out |

Channel Description
The channel cross-section at the instrument location is provided below. Datum is taken as the top of the diver access tube (red bar). Width is measured from the left-hand side bank when looking downstream, with locations to left of the diver tube taken as negative and those to the right positive.Stage-Discharge Relationship
A theoretical stage-discharge relationship exists for LOS_stock_weir (a rectangular thin plate weir conforming to BS3680). Rating points for LOS_stock are provided below.
Date | Time | Stage (m) | Discharge (m3/s) |
