The size of the River Ivel catchment is a surprise to most people. The Ivel itself runs north from Baldock (N.Herts) to Tempsford (Beds), where it joins the River Great Ouse. Along the way, many smaller tributaries join the River Ivel. These include the Flit, Hit, Hiz, Pix, and Purwell.
The River Ivel catchment includes the towns of Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Stotfold, Flitwick, Ampthill, Shefford, Biggleswade, and Sandy. A pollution spill in the rivers or brooks running though any of these urban centres will eventually impact the River Ivel.
RevIvel needs the help of its members to raise the awareness of the plight of the Ivel across the entire River Ivel catchment area. If you have friends and family living within the catchment area, please ask them to consider joining a local river group. Thank you.
