The River Bulbourne is a small river in Dacorum, Hertfordshire, England. The word bourne derives from the Anglo-Saxon word for a stream. It is an unnavigable tributary of the River Gade, which flows into the River Colne, which in turn is a tributary of the River Thames. The Bulbourne is an example of a chalk stream, which is a watercourse that flows from chalk-fed groundwater. Chalk streams are a very rare habitat globally, with more than 85% of all the 210 chalk streams in the world are found in England. The river is reduced in size, due to human activity, the main one being the building of the London to Birmingham Grand Union Canal through the narrow valley which takes most of the river's water.

  • Der River Bulbourne ist ein Wasserlauf in Hertfordshire, England. Er entsteht am nördlichen Rand von nördlich von Berkhamstead. Sein Lauf folgt eng dem Grand-Union-Kanal, wobei er teilweise auch in den Kanal übergeht und schließlich in Hemel Hempstead in den River Gade mündet. 1700 lag seine Quelle noch rund 4 km weiter nördlich und der Fluss neigt heute dazu in seinem Oberlauf im Sommer auszutrocknen, da die Pumpstationen, die dem Grand-Union-Kanal Wasser zuführen den Grundwasserspiegel abgesenkt haben.
