	The Rivers - Cataract Canyon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Cataract Canyon contains fourteen miles of rapids ranging in difficulty up to Class V. It is a particularly hazardous and isolated section of the Colorado River and is subject to extreme water level fluctuations.
		A permit is required for all trips through Cataract Canyon.
		While hiking trails lead to the rivers from each of the districts, these trails are too long and rugged to be seriously considered for shuttles, even for inflatables and other lightweight boats.

	Cataract Canyon Rafting \| Utah.com
		Cataract Canyon is best as a multi-day trip, and works well for families and groups.
		In deciding how long to spend on a Cataract Canyon trip, travelers should consider the type of vessel they would like to use, plus their trip budget (longer trips are generally more expensive).
		Most years Cataract hosts some of the biggest and most challenging rapids in the U.S. Usually, from July on the volume of the water in the river drops and the rapids become more moderate.

	deseretnews.com \| Cataract Canyon
		The uncertainty, the anxiety and the excitement modern-day river rats enjoy must be close to those feelings experienced by John Wesley Powell back in 1869 on his first trip down Cataract, except today's runners have the benefits of Powell's experiences and the flood of river runners who have followed.
		It is this shorter trip, the huge rapids and the natural beauty found along the Colorado River, with sheer red-rock cliffs, stretches of green tamarisk and broken-rock escarpments connecting the cliffs with the river, that has made Cataract Canyon among the most recognized and sought-after river adventure in the world.
		There is nothing resembling modern living on the river from Potash to the suspension bridge over the Colorado River near Hite, just spectacular scenery, wildlife, flowing water and peace and quiet occasionally interrupted by the rumbling roar of the rapids.

	Colorado River Rafting - Cataract Canyon - Canyonlands National Park
		Cataract Canyon trip rates include an optional $35 transportation charge for a van shuttle from the takeout at Hite, UT back to Green River**, UT. This charge will be deducted from the cost of your trip if you choose to make other arrangements for travel out of Hite.
		Yet Cataract Canyon contains mile after mile of rafting through canyons where you are awe struck, not at whitewater, but the deep multicolored canyons of this section of Canyonlands National Park.
		One of the advantages of a river trip is the flexibility of the daily itinerary.

	Rivers SOS - longwall mining, mining & drilling, river pollution, Georges River, Nepean River, cataract river, ...
		Rivers SOS calls on the NSW government to mandate a safety zone of at least 1 kilometre around all rivers in the state, to protect them from further permanent damage through the effects of mining under, or too close to, river beds.
		In the mid 90's much of the Cataract River flow disappeared into the cracks in the river bed and methane and ethane gasses were expelled from the cracks, measuring up to 20 litres per second in some areas.
		Rivers SOS wants some more responsible process to be put into place, but meanwhile we will continue to campaign for our 1 km safety zone around rivers.

	Nepean River under threat from BHP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Cataract, the upper Georges River and several creeks in the area have all suffered environmentally.
		Cataract resident Caroline Graham has documented her experiences in the 1990s, when she went down to the Cataract for a swim.
		In an attempt to address the situation, the Cataract River Action Party (CRAP) was formed in 1996 by two local residents, Mike Williams and Dave Andrewartha, who fought for four years to save the river.

	MIT Alumni Travel Program - Colorado River through Cataract Canyon
		This area brims with Native American and Old West history and is renowned worldwide for its superior national parks and is characterized by vast, rugged terrain of red and tan rock cliffs, sculpted spires and deep canyons.
		Cataract Canyon is a geologic work of art in progress, a real-world classroom in which we can see up-close millions of years of the earth's history.
		The rapids in Cataract Canyon in early to mid-May are rated moderate to exciting Class III and IV whitewater (on a scale of I-V) and the best described as "high-volume whitewater with extended wave-trains and moderate drops that require some technical maneuvering."

		I did go down to the river for a picnic and swim a couple of times in the early 90s and found that the water was filled with a red scum, apparently iron oxide released by upwelling groundwater from subsidence cracks.
		After all we actually own part of the river under examination, and we are thus stakeholders in all senses, who have amassed decades of experience of the river's behaviour, with up to three generations being involved in some cases.
		In 2000 she recalled that BHP had assured her that in the case of the Georges "the geology was different to the Cataract river…" (The Macarthur Chronicle, Oct. 31, 2000).

		The second commercial group transported the victims through the remaining rapids to the mouth of Clearwater Canyon which is in Cataract Canyon (Mile 192.1), but in the segment inundated by the Powell Reservoir.

	Cataract Dam
		The Cataract Dam is the first and oldest of the great dams of the Upper Nepean River, tamed to provide water for the growing population of Sydney.
		As the name implies, it flows much of its course through deep cataracts and ravines, hidden among the rough countryside except at Broughton Pass - on the road between Appin and Wilton - where it was forded in colonial times.
		Close to Sydney, Cataract quickly became a haven for sightseers, and the owners - the then Metropolitan Water, Sewerage, and Drainage Board - were proud to show it off to daytrippers.

		The Cataract Canyon rapids are rated Class III during the months of April, September and October, Class III+ in August, Class III+ to IV in July, and IV to V with peak water usually occurring during the last week of May and the first week of June when there is maximum snow melt.
