Hi Terry,
It looks like the real rivers are being monitored in at least two places:
https://www.riverlevels.uk/river-stour-oakley-wimborne
https://www.riverlevels.uk/river-allen-colehill-walford-mill
As a model town I would be tempted to find out how they are doing that
level monitoring and then make a miniature version in the correct places
on the model.
Is the monitoring just to control the river flow? Does it need to be
more complicated than a header tank and a valve for each river entry
point to control the flow rate?
Once you collect the water at the end of the river it can then be pumped
up to the header tank until it is full.
For extra complexity, get the water level of the real rivers from
wherever the above web site gets its data and adjust the levels of the
model rivers accordingly...
