Unlike the other British rivers called the Ouse , whose name comes from a Scandinavian root cognate with "oose", its name may come from a corruption of the French "Riviere de Lewes". The river was originally known as the River Mid-wynd. The author Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse in 1941, near the village of Rodmell . There is at present, a lot of research into the presence and effects of organic and inorganic pollutants in the Sussex Ouse. The nature of the river is that sediment in high-flow areas is absent, with the exception of the Denton-Island area. |
