Flood & River Management
About the Winterborne River and Its Legal Protection
The Winterborne River was designated a ‘main river’ in April 2006 and as such is protected in law by the Land Drainage Act 1991 and subsequent related Acts and Byelaws.
The Winterborne River water flow is generated through natural springs and from water pumped to the surface in Winterborne Houghton, consequently the flow is reduced in summer months due to low water table levels.
