River Foulness : ウィキペディア英語版 | River Foulness
The River Foulness is a river in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Like the island in Essex, its name is derived from old English ''fulga-naess'' meaning ''wild birds nest''. Maintenance responsibilities for the river transferred from the Environment Agency to the Market Weighton Drainage Board on 1 October 2011. Market Weighton Drainage Board subsequently amalgamated with the Lower Ouse Internal Drainage Board on 1 April 2012 to create the Ouse and Humber Drainage Board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Ouse and Humber Drainage Board )〕 The river discharges into the Humber Estuary via Market Weighton Canal. Water levels within the river, its tributaries and the canal are managed and controlled by the Environment Agency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=River Management )〕 The river lies in an area known as the Humberhead Levels. ==Course==
The river rises in the fields north-west of the village of Shiptonthorpe which is close to the town of Market Weighton. It flows south through the village and then heads west south-west towards Holme-on-Spalding-Moor. Circumnavigating the town, the river then turns back in a south-easterly direction until it joins the Market Weighton Canal just north of the M62.
