This authorised the construction of the canal from the Godalming Navigation (an extension of the River Wey) near Shalford, south of Guildford to the northern terminus of the Arun Navigation at Newbridge.

 Coastal Defence Strategy: Rivers Arun to Adur   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
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.

 Birds of the River Wey, Surrey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The River Wey is one of the oldest navigable waterways in the south east of England, Guildford, in a gap in the North Downs of Surrey, being reachable, through a series of locks, from the River Thames at Weybridge, 15 miles away, as early as 1653.
Today, the Wey, which rises to the west of Farnham, is navigable as far as Godalming, 4 miles south of Guildford, and the river’s history of horse drawn barge traffic, necessitating a towpath along the waterway, means a riverside path still exists along the length of the Wey, ideal for the bird watcher.
Walking south from the centre of Guildford, the meadows to the east of the river are host to Pheasant, often visible, as well as Wood Pigeon, Magpie and Carrion Crow, all common species throughout the Wey South Path, while Mallard are numerous on the river.
