		River courses may be modified to improve navigation, or straightened to increase the flow rate.
		River management is an ongoing activity as rivers tend to 'undo' the modifications made by man. Dredged channels silt up, sluice mechanisms deteriorate with age, levees and dams may suffer seepage or catastrophic failure.
		It is difficult to measure the length of a river, mainly because rivers have a fractal property, which means that the more precise the measure, the longer the river will seem.

	Sockeye Salmon, Adams River, British Columbia
		By the time the Adams River sockeye reach the mouth of the stream in mid-October, the transformation from blue-gray to crimson is virtually complete.
		The present peak years of the Adams River sockeye cycle are on a 2006 - 2010 - 2014 even-year basis, with much smaller runs occurring in the intervening years.
		Sockeye salmon also return to the Adams River in the between years but their numbers are not enough to warrant the attention and the displays of the Salute to the Sockeye.

		Chinook, coho and pink salmon also spawn in the Adams River, but it is the sockeye that challenge the imagination in their teeming millions.
		Other races of sockeye swim to the Adams River in intervening years, to other tributaries of the Fraser River and to other river systems, but the spawning of the dominant cycle run is a spectacle like none other.
		Anglers should note that the Adams River is closed to salmon fishing year-round, and in spring is also closed to rainbow trout fishing.

	REMARKABLE REBUILDING OF UPPER ADAMS SOCKEYE RUN CONTINUES
		Last fall, the Upper Adams River, near Chase, saw a record 70,000 adult sockeye salmon return to its spawning grounds, a stunning recovery for a river that was devoid of salmon from 1913 to 1953.
		The Upper Adams early summer sockeye run was historically one of the largest in the Fraser River watershed before it was devastated in the early 1900s by the operation of a splash dam at the outlet of Adams Lake.
		The Upper Adams is a separate stock from the famed sockeye that spawn in the lower reaches of the Adams River, a run of millions in its dominant years.

		For the world-famous Adams stock, the year 2001 is the lowest point in its four-year population lines; 2002 is the maximum, or dominant, run; 2003 will be called the subdominant run—it's next in abundance; and 2004 would be second-lowest on its cycles of return.
		The Adams River portion of the late run, as we've discussed, is in a subdominant year, with a dominant year in 2002.
		The next graph shows the same picture for the Adams sockeye, and again you can see there is a change in the pattern with the early migration, the timing of the migration relating to the mortality rate prior to spawning for the Adams River sockeye.

	Welcome to the Delta Optimist On-Line - Top Stories
		An estimated 6,000 to 12,000 Adams River fish are expected to return to their spawning grounds this year.
		In order to ensure safe arrival to the spawning grounds of what’s left of the Adams River stock, the department of Fisheries and Oceans is contemplating restricting the Fraser to all fishing this summer.
		Since Adams River stocks will inevitably be harvested as well, the expert witnesses said special spawning measures must be put in place on the Adams River to ensure the majority of the eggs laid by successfully returning fish can be collected, fertilized and reared into strong, healthy, hatchery-raised salmon fry.

	UPPER ADAMS RUN
		The Upper Adams River run, almost entirely obstructed by a dam, was unable to reach its spawning ground.
		As far as can be determined, the Upper Adams sockeye run was driven to extinction by the combined effects of the splash dam and the effects of railway construction between 1911 and 1913 in the Fraser Canyon, that culminated in the Hell’s Gate slide.
		Like the Upper Adams, production of late run Nadina sockeye was impaired by the combined effects of the Hell’s Gate slide and log-driving in the lower river.
