Rags Brook in Cheshunt
Rags Brook is a tributary of the River Lee or Lea and flows eastwards from near Goff's Oak to join the main river in Cheshunt. This is the view looking upstream at the flood alleviation throttle or flume structure near Cheshunt North Reservoir. When the brook has a high flow the water level rises but is squeezed through the flume until its level reaches that of an overspill lip just upstream. The excess water then flows off into the reservoir where it is stored until it can be let downstream in a controlled manner so that it does not cause flooding. The tide mark along the side of the flume indicates the level to which the brook will usually rise in a flood event before it overtops the spillway.

Cheshunt Reservoir South
Water shortage, what water shortage.
This is Cheshunt Reservoir South after Thames Water sold it, one of six since 2000.
Built in 1836 it apparently wasn't used despite the obvious need for it, and had become a fishing and wildlife lake.
It has now been filled in and is planned to be used for housing, which was not a popular decision locally. Of course the obvious question is - don't these extra houses need water from somewhere ?.
This picture was taken from the bridge over the New River (opened in 1613), which supplies water to London.

The Box
This building was completely purple until recently but they have toned it down a bit by painting the upper part white.
The Box is a hairdressing salon which sits on the corner of Halfhide Lane and Longfield Lane.

Cheshunt North Reservoir - Winter Reflections
Looking across the reservoir to the embankment dam. The willow trees have been pollarded to reduce the risk of their being blown over, which could cause damage to the embankment if they were uprooted.
The reservoir is no longer used for water supply, but is now an amenity lake, also used as flood storage during high flows in the adjacent Rags Brook to reduce the risk of flooding downstream
