The start of the drain is the outflow of the Crowle sewage treatment works; from there it flows in an eastwardly direction, south of the village of Eastoft before it reaches the Paupers pumping station at the side of the tidal River Trent, to the north of Amcotts.[2][3] The station contains three pumps, which are used to maintain water levels in the drain by discharging water into the Trent as required. A sluice adjacent to the pumping station, also allows water to discharge by gravity during periods of tidal low water.[3] The watercourse is essential for the land drainage of this low-lying area, which is the responsibility of the Isle of Axholme & North Nottinghamshire Water Level Management Board, the successor body to the Isle of Axholme Internal Drainage Board. The Board undertakes maintenance tasks such as annual mowing and rodding of the drain.[1][4] The name is thought to be derived from the fact that it was constructed by labourers on the poor rate (or paupers).[5] It was also considered to have been constructed prior to the 17th century drainage works of Vermuyden in the area.[6] Notes{{notelist}}References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.ada.org.uk/downloads/publications/The%20Value%20of%20Water%20Level%20Management.pdf|title=The Value of Water Level Management|publisher=Association of Drainage Authorities|accessdate=2 April 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130531062144/http://www.ada.org.uk/downloads/publications/The%20Value%20of%20Water%20Level%20Management.pdf |archivedate=31 May 2013}} {{Rivers and Watercourses of Lincolnshire}}2. ^{{cite web| url=http://maps.environment-agency.gov.uk/wiyby/wiybyController?topic=wfd_rivers&layerGroups=default&lang=_e&ep=map&scale=7&x=479262&y=413736 |title=Environment Agency What's in your Backyard |publisher=Environment Agency |accessdate=7 April 2013}} 3. ^1 {{cite web| url = http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/getamap/frames.htm|title = Get-a-map online|publisher = Ordnance Survey|accessdate= 26 March 2013 }} 4. ^1 {{cite book|title=Scunthorpe and Gainsborough|publisher=Ordnance Survey|date=2002|series=OS Landranger Map Series 112|isbn=9780319227121}} 5. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=84dqlTISKdcC&source=gbs_navlinks_s Rural England -Being an Account of Agricultural and Social Researches Carried Out in the Years 1901 and 1902], H.Rider.Haggard, p187,Original 1906, {{ISBN|9781108025492}}, accessed 7 April 2013 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.isleofaxholme.net/eastoft.html |title=Eastoft|publisher=Axholme Informer |accessdate=7 April 2013 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131204170531/http://www.isleofaxholme.net/eastoft.html |archivedate=4 December 2013}} 3 : Trent catchment|Rivers of Lincolnshire|Tributaries of the River Trent |
