Quote: I'm confused because your points could only be made if you thought I was discussing the modern conditions and values. I wasn't... Do you think that I have not reconstructed the rivers?
It doesn't seem that way, I'm afraid!
Your stats for the Bulbourne (Width = 0.69 m, average depth = 0.29 m) look rather like the river as it is today, rather than an attempt to estimate the size before the canal was built. I don't see how a stream only 2 feet wide and less than a foot deep could have powered three water mills...
How did you determine the reconstruction?
