	Fact Sheets
		The River Swale has subsequently reworked the material in the valley bottoms to create the broad floodplain.
		The drainage network at the top of the Swale is divided into a dense network of small tributaries that supply sediment from the moorland.
		Sediment is transferred between the channel and its adjacent floodplain in a number of reaches throughout the Swale network and through these processes there is a turnover of sediment and a net transfer downstream.

	Swale family history in the UK - some details
		Swale relatives known to me by my research and are 100% relatives because they share the Swale genes are Kathy's lines, Laurel's lines, David's lines and others known to you and unknown to you at the time of writing.
		The Swale family may have been good farmers but they were poor business people, all their lands were held by license from the Crown and it was necessary that from time to time the leases should be renewed.
		There is one Swale in the 15th century who could hold the key and prove one way or another as to whether my own Swale family line is connected to Swale Hall, but to prove an ancestral line requires unbroken documentation, and going back to the 15th century or before is very difficult.

		High in the windswept Pennines the moors for centuries acted like a benevolent sponge to the river, liberating their water gently so that the river would not be overwhelmed.
		Forty years ago the Swale spate lasted about six days producing water levels that could be contained and managed by the river environs.
		Such extremes cause havoc with the river's fragile ecosystem — upland becks run dry, Trout, if any are stranded and aquatic plant life struggles to find a foothold and that is just the start of the problem.

	Swale Way Walking Holiday Yorkshire Dales National Park (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Walking the length of a river to its source, as explorers have been doing since the earliest of times, is always a magical prospect.
		The Swale Way, which traces the course of the River Swale from its confluence with the River Ure in the Vale of York to its source in the windswept hills above Swaledale, is particularly enchanting.
		From here, the trail returns to the river and follows footpaths linking pretty stone-built villages dotted along the dale to the hamlet of Keld and the gathering grounds of the Swale, through a landscape of drystone walls, flower-filled meadows and tiny field barns.

		In the Dee estuary the effects of reservoir water, released at a different temperature to river water, was observed to affect fish distribution at a distance of 50km.
		On the Swale increased water levels in the river could raise the level of the watertable and increase the risk of flooding to agricultural land, properties and industries.
		The disease and parasite status of fish populations in the donor and receiving rivers should be determined.

	edie news centre - Last year’s floods have led to high levels of lead contamination
		One of the most surprising findings of the study by the River Basin Dynamics and Hydrology Research Group at UWA’s Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences is high lead levels in sediment deposited overbank during 2000’s floods on agricultural land adjacent to the River Swale in North Yorkshire.
		Earlier investigations by the Research Group have shown that the principal source of these contaminants is river bank erosion of floodplain soils in Swaledale that were polluted by mining activity in the 18th and 19th centuries.
		More than 75% of the flood sediment samples analysed along a 69 mile (110 kilometre) length of the River Swale were found to exceed ICRCL (Inter-Departmental Committee on the Redevelopment of Contaminated Land) guidelines for maximum lead concentrations permitted in soils for grazing livestock, some by up to 1000%.

	GENUKI: Richmond Parish information from National Gazetteer 1868.
		It is situated on elevated ground near the river Swale.
		Until about three centuries after the Norman conquest, Richmond is generally supposed to have carried on a good trade, but little is now done except in agricultural produce, and in retail trade for the supply of the agricultural district in the midst of which it is situated.
		The want of water communication, owing to the natural obstructions of the river Swale, and the privileges granted by various sovereigns to neighbouring towns, have, no doubt, contributed to this result.

		The improvement of the fish habitat by planting willows and placing groynes in the river to provide some additional protection particularly in high water spate conditions is one example.
		The extent of the spates is now much worse and one of the significant causes is considered to be due to the effects of un-natural moor gripping and the narrowing / dyking of the river along with the removal of bank-side trees.
		The meetings provide an opportunity debate about the status of the river and the initiatives to be undertaken during the next six months.
