		The Cataraqui River (pronounced "ka-tah-RAH-kway") forms the lower portion of the Rideau Canal in Canada.
		The Rideau River is a Canadian river which flows north from Upper Rideau Lake and empties into the Ottawa River at Rideau Falls in Ottawa, Ontario.
		In early spring, to reduce flooding on the lower section of the river, workers from the city of Ottawa clear the ice which covers the river from Billings Bridge to Rideau Falls by cutting "keys" through the ice and using explosives to break off large sheets of ice.

	Rideau Canal Waterway - Article - Ecology of the Rideau Corridor
		The arched profile shape of the Rideau Canal is due to the fact that it crosses a major watershed divide, with the Rideau River watershed to the north, flowing to the Ottawa River and the Cataraqui River and Gananoque River watersheds to the south, flowing to Lake Ontario and to the St. Lawrence River.
		In the pre-canal era it was the divide between the Rideau River and Gananoque River watersheds.
		The lakes and rivers of the Rideau are also now home to large populations of zebra mussels (particularly since 2000) that have had the effect of increasing water clarity and altering the abundance and type of aquatic vegetation.

	City of Kingston, Ontario, Canada - Press Release - 'Neighbours' Get Cataraqui River Crossing Update
		The river flows east, so communities like Brockville and Gananoque will be affected quite positively when the construction project is completed," said Jim Keech, CEO of Utilities Kingston.
		Of greatest interest to the Brockville community is the fact that Kingston's River Street sewage pumping station has insufficient storage to handle over flows during extreme wet weather events.
		River Street pumping station upgrade: The existing station will be upgraded with new equipment installed to assure compliance with current health and safety and building code regulations, as well as improved handling of wastewater flows during peak events.

		The dam would be placed at the head of the main channel of the Cataraqui, with the locks to be built in a side channel to the west of the main channel.

	Fort Frontenac
		Fort Frontenac was located at the mouth of the Cataraqui River, at the site of present-day KINGSTON, Ont. Construction began during negotations between Governor FRONTENAC and a delegation of IROQUOIS in July 1673.
		Ostensibly the fort, initially known as Fort Cataraqui, was meant to provide protection for VILLE-MARIE [Montréal], but it was intended as much to further fur-trading interests in the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley areas.
		When they built the more substantial fortifications, FORT HENRY, overlooking the river and harbour, the fortifications of Frontenac were abandoned and eventually buried as the city developed.

		In fact, it was only with the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1960, which diverted most marine traffic to the American side of the river, and the closing of the Canadian Locomotive Works and the drydock in the late 1960s, that the Kingston waterfront went through a dramatic change.
		The series of photographs, which were taken from the south looking north-northwest from the harbour and the Cataraqui River, show a much different waterfront than today's.
