	Yorkshire - MSN Encarta
		Yorkshire, former administrative county, north-eastern England, historically the largest county of England, bordered on the north by County Durham, on the north-east by the North Sea, on the south by Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire, on the west by Lancashire, and on the north-west by the former county of Westmorland.
		Yorkshire has given its name to a famous batter pudding; to a breed of pig; to the Yorkshire coach, a breed of English coach horses, usually bay or brown; and to the Yorkshire Terrier (the “Yorkie”), a breed of small dog developed locally in the mid-1800s.
		Yorkshire was the site of several major battles during the 15th century and notably during the Wars of the Roses: in 1408 at Bramham Moor, in 1460 at Wakefield, and in 1461 at Towton.

	Derwent - LoveToKnow 1911
		A southern head-stream, however, rises in the Yorkshire Wolds near Filey, little more than a mile from the North Sea, from which it is separated by a morainic deposit, and thus flows in an inland direction.
		The early course of the Derwent lies through a flat open valley between the North Yorkshire moors and the Yorkshire Wolds, the upper part of which is known as the Carrs, when the river follows an artificial drainage cut.
		The Derwent flows south past Chatsworth, Matlock and Belper and then, passing Derby, debouches upon a low plain, and turns south-eastward, with an extremely sinuous course, to join the Trent near Sawley.

		As the Lower Derwent Valley was, and still is, of such high conservation value, it was important to establish whether Yorkshire Water's abstractions for Public Water Supply were damaging the river and washland biodiversity.
		These 2 aspects of the River Derwent were studied in detail never seen before and a vast amount of data was collected which is of great value in research terms.

		A male otter may use 20-40km of river, tributary becks and associated ponds and wetlands as its ‘home range’ (undefended territory).
		They are born blind and helpless with a covering of fine grey fur, in a secluded ‘natal holt’ (breeding den), which is often away from the main river and must be completely undisturbed.
		Life expectancy is thought to be up to seven years in the wild, although the first year after leaving their mother is the most dangerous as they learn to fend for themselves.

		The Humber is a large tidal estuary and extremely turbid, the estuary has a brown appearance due to this high turbidity, and is often thought of as a dirty river.
		The inland port of Goole (which is approximately 45 miles (75 Kms) inland) on the River Ouse, owes it's growth to the formation of the canals, while the original growth of the major ports was mainly due to the railways.

	Case Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Lower Derwent Valley is characterised by a slow flowing river meandering through a flood plain of about 1km wide.
		Flooding within the floodplain is of regular occurrence in the winter and spring months, and is mainly due to the high river levels preventing the ditches discharging into the river.
		The water related issues are concerned with the agricultural utilisation of the grasslands for hay and grazing and nature conservation on the flood plain, and navigation, water abstraction, flooding and nature conservation in the adjacent river.
