[de] River Welland

Der River Welland (von englisch river „Fluss“) ist ein 105 km langer Fluss in Ostengland. Er entspringt bei Market Harborough in Northamptonshire und fließt von dort in nordöstlicher Richtung durch Stamford, Market Deeping und Spalding in die Nordsee, in die er unterhalb von Fosdyke in der Bucht The Wash mündet. Er ist eine der größeren Wasserstraßen im Bereich des als South Holland bezeichneten Teils der Fens in Lincolnshire. Unterhalb von Spalding ist er gezeitenabhängig.

[en] River Welland

The River Welland is a lowland river in the east of England, some 65 miles (105 km) long. It drains part of the Midlands eastwards to The Wash. The river rises in the Hothorpe Hills, at Sibbertoft in Northamptonshire, then flows generally northeast to Market Harborough, Stamford and Spalding, to reach The Wash near Fosdyke. It is a major waterway across the part of the Fens called South Holland, and is one of the Fenland rivers which were laid out with washlands. There are two channels between widely spaced embankments with the intention that flood waters would have space in which to spread while the tide in the estuary prevented free egress. However, after the floods of 1947, new works such as the Coronation Channel were constructed to control flooding in Spalding and the washes are no longer used solely as pasture, but may be used for arable farming.
