		The Humber with its canals and tributaries, (which include the rivers Hull, Ancholme, Derwent, Ouse and Trent) run off an area of 9,550 square miles (24,750 square kms.), which is about 20% of the total land area in England.
		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.

		The fastest-moving water is at the surface of the river while the speed of the current reduces as the bed is approached.

		The River Great Ouse weaves through the flat landscape of East Anglia, draining the Fens and providing a home for hundreds of species.
		The river flows through rich agricultural land with few settlements along the way.
		Consequently the land around the Great Ouse now lies several feet below that of five centuries ago and is still shrinking, which in places has resulted in subsidence and an almost otherworldly landscape.

		Stop No. River channel (width, depth, how straight?) Land use right bank Land use right bank Evidence of river management How much management (out of 10) I have decided to quantify my observations by giving a mark out of 10 for the amount of river management (0 being no management and 10 being fully managed).
		Before I go to the river I will conduct some research into what a typical river landscape looks like and the factors that affect a landscape, this will enable me to see if the River Ouse landscape is a typical river landscape.
		I will look for any relationship between the type of land use and the amount or river management, I can also see if there are any patterns to the type of land use along the river.

	York Walks /4 : River Ouse and autumn floods
		When I visited the Museum Gardens on 24 October the river was creeping up into the lower parts of the gardens, as it often does when in flood.
		The river is usually behind the far railing in the photo, but here it has covered the riverside walkway and reached the railings of the Museum Gardens, creeping over in places and forming rather marshy growing conditions, temporarily, for the gardens' plants.
		The river was high again (though not as high as it's shown on this page) in November 2006 - see Wanderings: waterworld on this site for photos and information on the ings and the flood defences.

	Ouse River. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		A river, about 97 km (60 mi) long, of northeast England flowing southeast to join the Trent River and form the Humber River.
		Ouse is a perfectly appropriate name for a river, but one whose etymological meaning is likely to raise a smile.
		Thus the Ouse River etymologically is the “Water River” or the “Wet River.” Of course, the English who borrowed the name from the Celts did not know the meaning of the word—as is rather frequently the case when foreign topographical terms are borrowed.

	Ramsar Advisory Missions: No. 49, Ouse Washes, United Kingdom (2001)
		The Ouse Washes are designed as a flood storage reservoir coming within the ambit of the Reservoirs Act 1975 and act as a safety valve for flood waters in the Great Ouse catchment.
		The second is related to the core of the river basin approach: It is not a pertinent solution to shift the high water level problems of the Ouse Washes simply to another subsystem within the Ouse River basin, without a prior integrated assessment.
		The problems in the Ouse Washes are quite broad: the incidence of summer flooding, the deterioration of the water quality, as well as the loss of valuable habitat for breeding waders and grazing opportunities in summer.

		These rivers form the border for much of their length of Norfolk and Suffolk, and but for those few metres separating the two springs, Norfolk would be an island!
		It is so quiet here that we could hear their boats for some 15 minutes after they had gone by and out of sight.
