The water rises from several holes in the chalk; it is cold - never more than 52 degrees F. The average flow is around 1 million gallons a day. The water feeds the River Rhee, one of the principal sources of the Cam, which joins the Ouse about 4 miles south of Ely near Stretham Image and flows out to sea in The Wash, about 65 miles from Ashwell.
