Rivers, Streams & Watercourses
The Essex River Authority have very kindly supplied
fhe following information in connection with the year 1972:-
'During the year under review, a survey of the
River Ingrebourne showed the river to be clean
throughout its length within the Borough The
effluent discharged from Nags Head Lane sewage
disposal works which constitutes the major
proportion of the flow was consistently of a
satisfactory quality.
The River Beam was found to be generally clean
throughout the upper and middle reaches but
some deterioration was noted in the lower
reaches resulting from the Wantz Stream tributary
which passes through the heavily urbanised and
industrial areas of Dagenham Work continued
throughout the period on investigation and elimination
of the sources of pollution
