Upper Mole Flood Alleviation Scheme
- 1) Raise the dam at Clays Lake to provide enlarged flood storage protecting passengers of the London-Brighton main line railway, also people living in Maidenbower, Crawley.[3]
- 2) Provision of a new flood detention dam (FDR) at Worth Farm to add additional resilience to flood alleviation of the M23 motorway.[3]
- 3) A river restoration scheme at Grattons Park nature reserve, involving the replacement of the existing straight concrete channel with a natural meandering earth channel.[3]
- 4) The raising of the dam at Tilgate Lake to provide additional flood storage, protecting hundreds of homes vulnerable to flooding in Furnace Green, Pound Hill, Three Bridges, Tinsley Green and Horley.[3]
Sewage Treatment Works
Crawley Sewage Treatment Works is located adjacent to the stream, downstream of Crawley and discharges up to 15 Ml of water per day into the river.[4]

[de] Gatwick Stream
Der Gatwick Stream ist ein Wasserlauf in West Sussex, England. Er entsteht aus zwei unbenannten Zuflüssen östlich von Crawley. Er fließt zunächst in nördlicher Richtung, wendet sich dann aber nach Westen, um nördlich der Anschlussstelle 10a des M23 motorway diesen zu kreuzen und durch Crawley zu fließen. Innerhalb des Ortes wendet der Gatwick Stream sich an der Brighton Main Line der Eisenbahn erneut nach Norden und fließt entlang der Ostseite des Flughafens Gatwick zu seiner Mündung in den River Mole an der Nordostseite des Flughafens.
