Drain

Wikipedia describes the Tees as "...a river in Northern England. It rises on the eastern slope of Cross Fell in the Pennines, and flows eastwards for about 85 miles to the North Sea, between Hartlepool and Redcar. It drains an area of 708 square miles..."

This is the Tees' most dramatic section, High Force, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in England. The creamy colour of the water is due to the peaty nature of the soil in the area.
