English: This drawing shows the estuary of the River Nene flowing into the Wash. Downstream of Wisbech, towards the fens, the river is embanked to create high level; channels. Tidal exclusion sluices are indicated along the coast at the top of the sheet. These were constructed to maintain water levels for irrigation and to restrict saline water.
