Method & provenance. Dry/wet classification is decided by rainfall at the nearest EA gauge — ≤ 0.25 mm on the spill day and each preceding day of the window (how we classify). Spill data: Environment Agency EDM (outlet SBB00113). Rainfall: EA Hydrology gauge 4e00b4e3-af60-47cf-afe7-b36ac774ca82. A dry spill is precautionary evidence of a likely fault, not proof of an offence — we test the rainfall, not the works' flow. Generated by River Teign Data.
