Various streams, including Peart Water, flow into Hawkridge Reservoir near Spaxton, which was built between 1960 and 1962,^[4] to provide drinking water for Bridgwater. The Peart Water continues in a northeast direction to the Ashford Reservoir which was constructed in 1934.^[5] Below the Ashford Reservoir the Peart Water joins the Currypool Stream to form the Cannington brook.^[1]

The brook discharges into the River Parrett,^[1] south east of Combwich.
