  Roger, there is no water going past the wheel at present, it's still waiting to be repaired so most of the flow is going over that W weir, although there is a small amount of relief flow that can bypass the wheel.
  
  What Harry is getting at in his comments is that when responsibility for the Dour passed from DDC to the Environment Agency a few years ago and it was classified a main river, the maps supplied by DDC indicated that the main river was the flow through the wheel, not the flow that Harry's pictures show! It is amazingly difficult to change that classification.
  
  The River Dour Steering Group recently arranged a report on the mill pond and its management by an EA geomorphology specialist and that will be discussed at our meeting next week.
