	Dnieper River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river is mentioned by the Ancient Greek historian Herodotus in the fifth century BC as Borysthenes; the late Greek and Roman authors called it Danapris and Danaper respectively.
		Approximately the last 800 kilometres of the river is a chain of nearly consecutive reservoirs.
		The Dnieper river is important for the transport and economy of Ukraine: the river's reservoirs have all been equipped with large ship locks, allowing vessels of up to 270×18 metres to access even the port of Kiev and thus creating a perfect transport corridor.

		The river’s headwaters are located in the Pripzat and Dneipr basins, while the northern boundary of the basin lies in the Belorussian - Voronezh High and the southern basin is defined by the Ukrainian Shield.
		The alluvial valley is well defined and the river displays meandering tendencies along most of its length, with evidence of numerous meander belts.
		This is especially apparent in the lower river course where the delta enters the Black Sea well inland from the main coastline.

		In a massive counteroffensive after the battle, Soviet forces drove the Germans to the Dniepr River in the Ukraine with a series of shattering blows.
		Pausing to regroup after reaching the eastern bank of the river, the commanders of four Red Army fronts waited anxiously to continue the offensive while streams of supplies and replacements filled their depleted ranks.
		The meandering Dniepr made it necessary for Hollidt’s divisions to defend the eastern side of the river in positions that had been hastily constructed and that were practically worthless in the face of overpowering Soviet superiority.

		Many of the ancient river names of Germany, France, and England -- such as "Rhine," "Rhone," and "Thames" -- appear to arise from a common system of naming, and although these names are Celtic in form, they do not appear to be Celtic in origin.
