	Bill Williams NWR
		The construction of Alamo Dam on the Bill Williams River in 1968 changed the old flood cycle, which reduced stands of native cottonwood and willow trees.
		Fortunately, Bill Williams River NWR holds one of the last stands of natural cottonwood-willow forest along the lower Colorado River, creating a unique ecosystem that provides good habitat for resident and migratory wildlife.
		The riparian area along Bill Williams River is best seen by driving the road that begins approximately.3 of a mile south of the river bridge and ends approximately 3 miles east of the highway.

	ColoradoRiverInfo.com: Attractions: Bill Williams River Area
		The Bill Williams River was historically unique to this section of the Lower Colorado River as a major tributary that was used as a travel corridor by Native American, European explorers and early settlers.
		The lower portion of the river, in the Bill Williams National Wildlife Refuge is accessible from the road south of the Bill Williams bridge on Highway 95.
		Vehicle travel in the Bill Williams area is limited to existing roads and trails.

	William Sherley 'Old Bill' Williams
		In June 1787, William Sherley Williams was born as the fourth of nine children to parents of predominately Welsh ancestry in a remote area of North Carolina.
		Bill's travels were broad until his death in 1849, and many a tale could be told of intrigue, conflict, mystery and prosperity.
		Trapping all the while, Williams' experiences were far-reaching: he assisted the padres of Albuquerque in translating some Bible lessons into Navajo language, stood in enchanted stupor at the rim of the Grand Canyon, wintered in the neighborhood of what became known as Bill Williams Mountain, and nearly dared the inhospitable Mohave Desert.

	Joe Cell Truck Builder Threatened
		Bill had posted images and rough descriptions, and was in process of disclosing in greater detail how he accomplished this, when he was confronted last week by two unidentified individuals who told him to cease all of his alternative energy work or there would be dire consequences.
		Bill is not the only one to have achieved this accomplishment of running his vehicle on a Joe Cell.
		Bill just wanted them out of there as he lives out of town and the immediate neighbors were at work so he would have been unable to call for assistance if he held them for any length of time and they became difficult.

		Description - Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge is located along the Bill Williams River in La Paz and Mojave Counties, Arizona, with the river as the dividing line between the two counties.
		In 1993, the two refuges were separated and the Bill Williams Unit became the Bill Williams River NWR.

	WRIR 02-4214
		During a period of sustained base-flow conditions in the Bill Williams River below Alamo Dam in west central Arizona from March to July 2000, the channel of the river through Planet Valley was dry, and the water table sloped almost due west parallel to the main slope of the flood plain.
		A river aquifer in hydraulic connection with the Bill Williams River was mapped from a point 6.3 miles upstream from Highway 95 to the upstream end of Planet Valley.
		The purpose of this study was to investigate the current hydrologic conditions along the Bill Williams River, which included an inventory of wells within the river aquifer of the Colorado River and in Planet Valley, and to determine the configuration of the water table.

		The seven-member Bill Williams River Corridor Steering Committee coordinated the dam release.
		Changes in river flow due to the construction and operation of Alamo Dam have significantly stressed existing native riparian vegetation, prevented natural regeneration of cottonwoods, and enabled the invasive, non-native tamarisk to replace native trees.
		Our understanding of river science is now sufficient enough to allow humans to continue using rivers for services such as hydroelectricity, irrigation and drinking water, while still protecting the health of rivers and their surrounding habitat.
