		The river is managed to prevent flooding and to control water use, as well as looking after boat users on the river.
		River pollution is constantly monitored by the Environment Agency, but many people are concerned about old landfill sites, where household and industrial rubbish is dumped.

		During the reign of Charles the 1st the river "Stour" became one of the hardest-worked rivers in the kingdom, providing power for blast furnaces, tilt hammers, and slitting mills located along its length.
		This same river powered Dud Dudley’s Cradley forge where he claimed to have perfected the use of ‘pit coal’ for the smelting of Iron, in his book "Metallum Martis" published in 1665.
		Today many parts of the river and its tributaries are surrounded by houses and factories, but the pockets of rural landscape convey some impression of how the valley might have looked 200-300 years ago.

	In search of the Stour!
		It has to be said that the river that gave its name to the town does have a bit of an image problem, first of all, the River Stour is only about 25 miles from its source, to where it finally flows into the UK's largest river, the River Severn.
		In days gone by levels of pollution were legendary, as the River Stour was a major waste disposal unit for factories in a time when no-one considered the environmental impact.
		The source of the River Stour is a small spring close to St Kennelms Church on the Clent Hills, winding its way across open countryside to Halesowen, then through the edge of the famous Black Country, on to Stourbridge, then out through beautiful countryside via Kinver, Cookley, Wolverley and Kidderminster.

		The river will come downstream to the sea in a very direct manner: water has been collected from each of the tributaries of the Stour and will be taken by boat to Christchurch harbour, where it will be released into the sea.
		We chose to work in the Stour catchment over three years (not nearly long enough for our aspirations to work to involve people, but this was the grant on offer) with a composer in residence on the river and a team of people to promote and animate.
		The aim was to bring together the people and their music created for the river Stour, to play scattered around the gardens at the source of the river now in the care of the National Trust.

	Bear Mead on the Dorset Stour
		Bear Mead on the South bank of the Dorset Stour is a beautiful place, 25 acres of meadow and pasture, old hawthorn hedgerows dotted with big ash trees, and the river gliding by.
		In winter the river often floods, and is therefore bordered by wide flood plains.
		Finally, South of Pamphill there is a broad, hedged, approach to the river where a ford is marked on 6" OS and where, until the Second World War there was a substantial iron foot-bridge, Eye Bridge, though there does not seem to be any sign of a road running to it from the South side.

		Since then the river has reverted to the valuable waterway that is known and enjoyed today, much of which is available to manually propelled and sailing boats only.

		The River Stour is a substantial river which runs 96 km (59 miles) from south east Somerset and west Wiltshire through north Dorset and the Blackmore Vale into east Dorset, the eastern fringe of Bournemouth and Christchurch where it meets the Hampshire Avon and empties into the sea at Mudeford.
		The Stour is still a stronghold of White-legged damsel fly and Scarce Chaser Dragonfly and is seeing the return of the otter after years of persecution and removal of bankside cover.
		Between 1998 and 2001 the Stour was the focus of Confluence, a project run by Common Ground helping and encouraging local people to make their own new music in celebration of the river and its tributaries, springs, wells, flora and fauna.

	River Stour - Fishing in Wessex
		The river Stour starts notably as a fishing river from just North of Gillingham in Dorset, and flows on a fairly southerly course through North-West Dorset to the coast at Christchurch Harbour where it combines with the Hampshire Avon in the harbour mouth.
		The river is quite different to fish, than the Avon being generally slower and less deep.
		The river supports a wide range of fish from excellent barbel, bream and chub in the lower stretches, to mullet near the harbour.

		This river originally flowed into the sea east of Southampton and was contained by a southerly chalk ridge stretching from the needles to the Purbecks.
		These river deposits consist mainly of river gravel's and are some of the newest of the deposits at the head.
		After the river Avon and Stour eroded their dividing ridge and joined in a confluence about 1 kilometre north west of the head the old Stour bed, which used to route the river to the south of Hengistbury head was adopted by the river Bourne.

		They were treated to a well-researched and entertaining account of the historical development of the River Stour Navigation and an appreciative study of the local countryside and its unique landscapes.
		In 1968 help eventually arrived in the form of "The River Stour Trust" whose aims, similar to the Chelmer Canal Trust's, were to cherish, restore and promote the navigation in the public interest.
		The River Stour Trust's restoration efforts were constrained by the Anglian Water Authority who became the navigating authority for the navigation in 1976.

	StuartW Summary of research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The emphasis of this research is currently focussed upon two river catchments in East Anglia — the River Colne and the River Stour.
		These rivers are classed as being eutrophic (nutrient-enriched) and at a later date the model derived from these river catchments will be compared with an oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) river — probably the River Conwy in North Wales.
		Water is basically pumped across from the Ely-Ouse catchments to three rivers, including the Stour, to be used for public water supply, for irrigation and spray water, for dilution purposes in pollution incidents, and generally in times of low water and drought.
