]] The River Ouse (pronounced "ooze") in North Yorkshire , England flows through York and Selby . It joins the River Trent at Faxfleet, to form the River Humber . Its system of tributaries (which includes the Derwent , Aire , Don , Wharfe , Rother , Nidd , Swale , Ure , and Foss ) drains a large upland area of Northern England, including much of the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors . The Ouse valley is a wide, flat plain; heavy rainfall in the river's catchment area can bring severe flooding to nearby settlements. In recent years both York and Selby , and villages in between, have been very badly hit. SEE ALSO |
