	Adur Valley Estuary, West Sussex, England
		The River Adur Estuary is wide expanse of mud-flats at low water, with the river flow cutting a narrow path, and a tidal inlet at high tide.
		The River Adur estuary between the Norfolk bridge and the A27 Flyover sported a particular large number of sea birds as the low spring tide receded exposing the mud flats north of the Railway Viaduct and the mussel beds and gravel to the south.
		In the river north of the Toll Bridge, the surface was rippled by shoals of young Sand Smelt, which scattered in many directions and there was a pronounced arrow-like disruption of the water surface, which probably indicated predation by a large fish, most likely to be from shoals of second year Bass.

	Sussex Downs Landscape Assessment
		The principal river floodplains are found on the flat valley floor of the valleys of the Arun, the Adur, the Ouse and the Cuckmere rivers.
		These wide river floodplains are predominantly used as seasonal pastures for cattle, but there is also some horse grazing and arable fields sometimes occur in areas with gravelly river terrace soils on the edges of the floodplain.
		However the floodplains of the River Adur and the Ouse are crossed by major transmission lines and have a more open character which is strongly influenced by the development and industry adjacent to the floodplain.

	Upper Beeding \| British History Online
		The western boundary follows the modern course of the Adur in the south and part of what was apparently the course of the medieval main channel of the river further north.
		The river Adur has always been important, for its effect on the landscape of the parish, as a means of communication, and in providing employment.
		The chief road through the parish in past centuries was that forming part of the great east-west route through southern England from Canterbury to Southampton, which ran along the crest of the South Downs from the east towards the river Adur.

	Coastal Defence Strategy: Rivers Arun to Adur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Environment Agency are responsible for the majority of the river defences, with the rest the responsibility of the LHB and SPA or private owners.
		The failure of either the training wall to the west of the river entrance or the West Pier would have a major adverse impact on the river, in terms of both navigation and upstream flooding, but rather less of an impact on coastal defences and beaches.
		The Strategy needs to address both river and coastal processes, and determination of flood defence policy on the tidal river lengths must be integrated with policy on the open coast.

	Henfield & District AS
		Although the River Adur is generally narrower and shallower than its neighbours the Arun and the Ouse, as far as pike fishing is concerned it ranks as one of the best.
		It is also a good idea on big tides or when there is floodwater in the river to fish the bends of the river with your bait positioned on the opposite side to the main flow.
		It can often be worth fishing the river at night as the bigger fish tend to feed after dark, especially if there has been a lot of pressure from anglers during the day.

	River Adur and Estuary: Nature 2005
		The River Adur rises four miles south of Horsham and runs south-east skirting Coolham, Shipley and West Grinstead before meeting the eastern tributary midway between Ashurst to the west and Henfield to the east.
		The River Adur reaches the sea at Shoreham-by-Sea where the mouth has been deflected two miles to the east by the longshore drift.
		The tidal range where the River Adur, now at Kingston Buci (part of Shoreham-by-Sea), meets the sea through the entrance to Shoreham Harbour, is up to 7 metres above Chart Datum on an equinoctial spring tide.

	Time and Tide
		The first three pictures were taken in September 1970 and show a barge hulk on the East bank of the river Adur in Sussex, just downriver of the old wooden toll bridge at Shoreham.
		Well, yes, judging by a skim through the available photographs it seems to be a representative of a type common to the south coast rivers Adur, Arun and Ouse, and further research might find similar craft using the Itchen and Southampton Water rivers in the past, so regionally it certainly is an important type.
		The Adur barges were never numerous and as there is at least one and some wrecks further down the river our Toll bridge barge cannot be counted too high.

	Non-technical Summary - town planning \| Environmental Assessment (EIA and SEA)
		The development proposed at Shoreham Cement Works and Quarry, to be known as Adur Valley Park, is required to be the subject of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be carried out to investigate the possible impacts on the environment that may be created both during construction and when the development is completed and occupied.
		Area A, which lies between the A283 and the River Adur, currently comprises an area of open storage, concrete yards and buildings and is proposed for housing development with new and retained areas of open space and landscaping.
		The Adur Valley is a fine landscape but it is a little more spoilt by development than the Downs to its east and west.

		Lancing is the dried remnant of part of The Great Channel as it was known from at least 1500, which fed into the river Adur near its mouth to the sea.
		The mouth at that time was much further west roughly adjacent to where the footbridge over the river from Shoreham to Shoreham beach now stands.
		Due to the effect of Longshore drift the river Adur took it's present course through to the Aldrington basin.

		The River Adur was used throughout the eighteenth century for moving timber to Shoreham.
		The canal was extended at the same time with the construction of a branch to Mock Bridge and was paid for by Act of Parliament that levied two shillings (10p) per acre on all lands lying in the level above Beeding Bridge.
		As the Adur was tidal there were no plans to contruct any locks on this navigation, but two locks were built, Bines Lock north of the point where the Adur splits south of the bridge and one another 150 yards past Bines Bridge, the latter being opened after the Baybridge Canal was opened.
