The River Eau ( YOO) is a 15-mile-long (24 km) tributary of the River Trent that flows through Lincolnshire, England.The Eau catchment lies between that of the Bottesford Beck to the north, and the River Witham to the south and east, and covers an area of 125 square kilometres (48 square miles). The river is one of the few notable streams that drain the right bank of the tidal Trent.The source of the river is near Harpswell, at the foot of the Lincolnshire Edge, and it joins the tidal River Trent at Susworth. Unlike other rivers that drain into the tidal Trent, there is no pumping station associated with the outfall, it relies on gravity to discharge during periods of tidal low water.The Eau flows through the village of Scotter, which has a history of being flooded by the river; the most recent occasion was in June 2007.The river is also important for the drainage of the flat low-lying agricultural land that surrounds it, with some 2000 hectares or 20 square kilometres (8 square miles) of the Gainsborough Internal Drainage Board district, relying on the Eau for this function. Whilst the drains that discharge into the Eau are maintained by the Drainage Board, the river is the responsibility of the Environment Agency being designated as a Main river.Its tributaries are Northorpe Beck, Manton Sewer and Dar Beck.

Beltoft is a hamlet in the civil parish of Belton , North Lincolnshire, England. The village lies within the Isle of Axholme and is 4 miles (6 km) south-east of Crowle. There is a gas offtake from the National Transmission System at Beltoft, which is run by Scottish Power. It is connected by a 9.3-mile (15.0 km) pipeline to a gas compression station on Hatfield Moor, which pumps gas into a depleted natural gas field located 1,450 feet (440 m) below the moor. When more gas is required, the gas is extracted again, and re-enters the National Transmission System at Beltoft.The only public building in the village is the Methodist Chapel. In the 18th century, the Quakers were quite active in the area and had their own burial ground in the village. This site was reused by the Methodists, who built the first chapel there in 1833. That building was demolished, and a new chapel was built in 1904, and the premises were extended in 1923, when a Sunday School was added. The building sits on a wide plot, with a grassed area to the east of it, which was the former burial ground.Beltoft was one of the first villages to benefit from the third phase of the Northern Lincs Broadband initiative, a programme designed to ensure that rural communities were not left out in the provision of super-fast and ultra-fast broadband services. The multi-million-pound programme uses Fibre to the premises (FTTP) technology, which involves running fibre-optic cables from the telephone exchange into the business premises or homes of customers. Many other parts of North Lincolnshire will have a Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) service, which provides super-fast broadband but not the ultra-fast service available in Beltoft. The scheme is funded by North Lincolnshire Council and benefitted from £2.9 million saved by efficiencies during the first phase of the programme.
