tidal gauge

The Wash

South Holland

 

In 2015, a new tidal gauge was installed in The Wash. It will help the Environment Agency measure tides, predict flooding and assess the impact of climate change more accurately.

 

it completes a national network of 44 gauges that record information about sea levels to provide more accurate forecasts.

 

The instrument is on a platform measuring approximately 2 meters across and 11 meters above sea level. It’s located 4km offshore in The Wash close to the port of Sutton Bridge.
