Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox river The Badsey Brook, also known as the Broadway Brook, is a small brook that flows through Worcestershire, England. It is a lower tributary of the River Avon, which it joins near Offenham upstream of Evesham. Its principal tributary is the Bretforton Brook.[1][2][3]

Course

It rises on the flanks of the Cotswold Hills near Snowshill, and flows in a north-westerly direction through Broadway, and Childswickham before turning north and passing Wickhamford where it is crossed by the A44. The brook is then joined by a couple of minor tributaries, before flowing through Badsey then Aldington where it meets the Bretforton Brook. Turning north-west, it flows past Offenham Cross where it is bridged by the B5410, to join the Warwickshire Avon south of Offenham.[1]

Hydrology

The flow of the Badsey Brook has been measured, in its lower reaches at Offenham since 1968. The gauging station was initially a flume, later changed to a weir.[4] This long-term record shows that the catchment of Шаблон:Convert to the gauging station yielded an average flow of Шаблон:Convert.[5] The highest river level recorded at the station occurred on 21 July 2007, with a height of Шаблон:Convert, and the second highest of Шаблон:Convert in April 1998.[4] The catchment upstream of the station has an average annual rainfall of Шаблон:Convert and a maximum altitude of Шаблон:Convert at Broadway Hill near the source of the brook.[6] Land use within the basin is mainly agricultural, consisting of arable, horticulture and grassland with some woodland.[6]

Floods

The Badsey Brook along with the Avon and its other tributaries was badly affected by the 2007 floods. To help prevent flooding in the future a flood storage area is planned to be constructed in Broadway.[7]
