The area itself consists of several different waterways and has been recently modernised to include a few reservoirs that provide the city of London, under management of Thames water, a sustainable water supply.

The northern sections of the valley have been exploited for sand, gravel and brickearth. These areas have been now placed under protection as the Lea valley area became a national park on the 9^th of October 2000.

This contributed to an increased development in the area as many of the waterways had become major canal routes. The waterways also produced a heavy flow rate as the route the water took originated in high land, this meant an increased number of water powered industries arrived to make use of this feature. Many power stations have cropped up as well as several mills and food production units that all utilise this valued flow.

Alongside the historical use of the Lea, the area itself was made a national park in 2000 this caused for many of the canal ways to become ribbon regenerated and introduced as a tourist attraction.
