The river flows only in winter here, though there is a history of flooding. Water emerges in summer at Boscombe, four kilometres (as the crow flies) downstream. This is the same field as the one shown in Image, and the line of a watercourse parallel to the river, and close to the camera, suggests an irrigation system. Part of the village of Cholderton, in Image, can be seen through the gap in trees.
