 New Bedford River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Bedford River, also known as the Hundred Foot Drain because of the distance between the tops of the two embankments on either side of the river, is a man-made tributary of the River Great Ouse in the Fens of Cambridgeshire, England.
The channel was created in around 1650 by Cornelius Vermuyden as part of a project to reclaim the lands of the Bedford Level that were reclaimed in the 1630s and deliberately flooded during the Civil War.
Both this river and its "twin", the Old Bedford River, are named after Francis, Earl of Bedford who funded the construction of both rivers.

 Oliver Cromwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After being amongst the lower levels of the leadership of the war against the crown, he rose to command the Army and eventually to impose his rule on England, Scotland, and Ireland as Lord Protector, from December 16, 1653 until his death, which is believed to have been by malaria.
Many of Cromwell's actions upon gaining power were decried by some commentators as "harsh, unwise, and tyrannical." He was often ruthless (though perhaps no more than was then expected) in putting down the mutinies which occurred within his own army towards the end of the war (prompted by Parliament's failure to pay the troops).
The Leveller point of view had been strongly represented in the Putney Debates, held between the various factions of the Army in 1647, just prior to the King's escape.

Identity is resolved from the lowest level of the hierarchy available in the situation, producing a flexible solution whereby the same two samples will sometimes refer to the same object and sometimes not.
That is, the levels are identical to the levels described for one dimension of space discussed in the previous section.
Chen, Todd, and colleagues, along with Bedford who uses the hierarchy for visual-motor maps (1993, 1994) and the present theory, are the among the very few researchers who have emphasized the usefulness of multiple levels in the same observer for the same problem at the same developmental stage.

 Middle Level Reform
The Middle Level Commissioners is a statutory corporation (Section 54 Middle Level Act 1862) whose present constitution is as a result of a series of Acts of Parliament dating from the mid-17th Century to the latter part of the 19th Century.
In practice, the navigation functions of the Middle Level are not income producing and the present powers to levy tolls on certain goods are of no practical value, since they relate to a time when the primary use of the navigation was a commercial waterway.
Thus, as the Middle Level is not only an Internal Drainage Board but also a Navigation Authority, the power to reconstitute under Section 11 does not extend to the whole of the functions of the Middle Level but only those which it holds as a Drainage Board.

 Middle Level Drainage
In 1862 the Middle Level was separated from the Bedford Level Corporation by Act of Parliament, and since that time the Middle Level Commissioners have executed a continuous Programme of improvement works, gradually lowering water levels to counteract the effects of peat shrinkage and increasing run-off.
By the early 1970's lowering of water levels, particularly in the south west of the drainage system, was again necessary to counter the effects of increasing run-off and land shrinkage, but the degree to which further channel improvements could re used to lower water levels was by now severely limited by lack of gradient.
This part of the system is remote from St. Germans Pumping Station, and land levels in the area, which are already the lowest in the catchment, coincide with the maximum depths of remaining surface peat.
