Gal Oya: about 0 affected days a year in gauge records since 16 Oct 2026.

Affected means at least alert level. A day counts once, at the worst level any gauge reached. Years before the gauge records start are estimates.
Measured: the highest level each gauge reached that day, compared with the Department of Irrigation’s alert, minor-flood and major-flood levels.
Estimated: for years before the gauge records here begin, we estimate how high each river ran from a global river-flow model. These are not official warnings. They show the flood seasons and the big floods well, but can miss the exact day or gauge, especially on small rivers.
