Severn Gauge, Wyle Kop, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England, UK - River Gauges on Waymarking.com

The River Severn (or in Welsh: Afon Hafren) is the longest river in Great Britain, at about 354 km's. It rises at an altitude of 610 metres on Plynlimon near Llanidloes, Powys, in the Cambrian Mountains of mid Wales.
It then flows through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, with the county towns of Shrewsbury, Worcester, and Gloucester on its banks. With an average discharge of 107 m³/s at Apperley, Gloucestershire, the Severn is the greatest river in terms of water flow in England and Wales.
There have been many disasters on the Severn, making it Britain's most dangerous river. It has claimed many lives (figures vary depending on how it is recorded, circa 300 people), especially during the 20th century.

RIVER GAUGE INFORMATION: On the gauge is listed figures (not entirely sure what they refer to) they are in decimal figures between 5 0 and 5 2. I would assume these would be metres, but not sure why they start at 5 0. Perhaps it is metres above sea level? The river to have hit the 5 1 line would have had to have lifted by at least 8m from its current position. ANY ADDITIONAL WAYPOINT: Not Listed WEB LINK FOR RIVER GAUGE: Not listed
