Rivers and Water
Watercourses are diverse features that can range from rivers and streams to creeks, brooks, ditches, or even flowing water in an underground pipe. Watercourses may include perennial watercourses, in which water flow is consistent throughout the year, or intermittent watercourses, which may remain dry for periods.
For more information on the definition and identification of watercourses, and the responsibilities required for those who own one, please visit the government website: Owning a watercourse - GOV.UK
