Notes

Results of testing this small woodland stream for a year now seem to be fairly consistent. :-)
It is a 'happy' stream, shallow, and can even be jumped across at some points. Its principal purpose and existence are as an 'outlet' off the River Wey approximately one mile east of Godalming, Surrey, UK.
Flow comes off the R. Wey into an underground pipe beneath our housing estate's road, from south to north, then literally bubbles up audibly into Landings Wood Stream to flow on a sandy, gravelly base through the 3.75-acre woodland owned by the housing estate of 60 houses, on an 'island' created by a loop of the R. Wey around the south side of the estate and an 18-century navigation of the R. Way on the north side of the woodland.
Landings Wood Stream joins a former watermill 'cut' or race, approximately 800 yards to the east of the under-road pipe off the R. Wey described above, within the housing estate; and this former mill race flows north to rejoin the R. Wey as it continues towards north-east towards Guildford, Surrey, UK.
Thus the water in the stream comes directly from the R. Wey and from street storm drains on the housing estate, mostly from rainfall and from seeps, springs and streams up-river feeding the R. Wey.
