After the Ember/Mole Flood Relief Channel was completed in the mid 1980s, most water now goes down that with just a small "sweetening flow" down this short surviving section of the original river channel. Historically this pool and the relatively natural channel downstream received all or nearly all of the flow of the river http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3639064. Today the pool contains still water and the channel downstream is very shallow.
