<P> The Jubilee River is a hydraulic channel in southern England . It is 11.6 km ( 7.2 mi ) long and is on average 45 metres ( 148 feet ) wide . It was constructed in the late 1990s and early 2000s to take overflow from the River Thames and so alleviate flooding to areas in and around the towns of Maidenhead , Windsor , and Eton in the counties of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire . It achieves this by taking water from the left ( at this point eastern ) bank of the Thames upstream of Boulter 's Lock near Maidenhead and returning it via the north bank downstream of Eton , Berkshire . Although successful in its stated aims , residents of villages downstream claim it has increased flooding . </P>
