About
The South Forty Foot Drain operational catchment covers the South Forty Foot Drain and its tributaries from its headwaters at Guthram Gowt to the tidal limit in Boston. The South Forty Foot Drain helps drain the fenland areas of South Lincolnshire to the south west of Boston. It discharges into the Witham Haven in Boston via the Black Sluice Pumping Station. The catchment is sparsely populated with small settlements until the river flows into the urban area of Boston. The land use in the catchment is agricultural with high productive arable land dominating the landscape.
