In 1906 the branch to Worsbrough closed due to the increasing cost of maintenance, although it was retained as a water feeder.

I remember inventing a hamster water feeder thing for a school project that rang a bell when it needed refilling.

The branch, from which the waterway now takes its name, was primarily a water feeder from the River Dee above the village.

He tossed the empty cup down the incinerator shaft, then stared long and thoughtfully at his brother, "May I see this water feeder o* y'rs?"

The varying depths of inundated islands on the bottom of Lake Clarke support numerous fresh water feeder fish, pan fish, and large predatory game fish species.

However, the canal from Hurleston to Llangollen was retained as a water feeder for the Shropshire Union Canal main line and for drinking water.

From 1777 a local river, the Morrel was proposed as water feeder for the canal, construction resumed and the first passenger boats were towed to Sallins in February 1779.

In 1906, the Worsbrough branch ceased to be navigable, and became just a water feeder, and in 1909, the company effectively conceded defeat, by allowing coal to be mined under the canal.

However despite its official closure to waterway traffic, the canal was not in-filled or allowed to remain de-watered because it was still required as a water feeder for the Shropshire Union Canal.

Much of the Shropshire Union system was closed by the owners, the London Midland and Scottish Railway, in 1944, but the main line was retained, and the line to Llangollen was retained as a water feeder.

Ecologically the varying depth of inundated islands on the bottom of the lake create a succession of valuable varied habitats that support numerous fresh water feeder fish, pan fish, and large predatory game fish species and so loss in bird-small animal habitat was replaced by and large, in freshwater marine habitats.
