Glynleigh Sewer
Glynleigh Sewer is a river in Hailsham, Wealden District, East Sussex, England. Located partly in the Pevensey Levels, Glynleigh Sewer joins Hurst Haven to form the Pevensey Haven.[1][2] The river forms much of the boundary between the civil parishes of Westham and Hailsham.[3]
Course[edit]
Glynleigh Sewer rises from a drainage basin in farmland north of the A27 road in Hailsham, receiving most of its waters from Marland Sewer. Glynleigh Sewer then flows a southerly course, receiving the waters of Drockmill Hill Gut, after which it flows into the Pevensey Levels which is where it joins Hurst Haven to form the Pevensey Haven.[3]
Water quality[edit]
Water quality assessments of the river in 2016 undertaken by the Environment Agency, a non-departmental public body sponsored by the United Kingdom's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:[4]
| Ammonia | Dissolved oxygen | Phosphate | Temperature | Section |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Good | Bad | Moderate | High | Rickney Farm monitoring site |
