	World Rivers Review, December 1996
		River activists in Europe have defeated a scheme of navigation dams proposed for the Elbe River, and convinced the German government to instead improve existing navigation channels, thus leaving the river unharmed.
		The river had been badly polluted by East Germany's heavy chemical industries (the huge "Kombinats" which disgraced the land), but the riparian ecosystem was surprisingly intact, because urbanization along the river was minimized by its status as a dangerous border zone.
		The Elbe is one of the longest rivers of Europe.

		The region's relief makes its rivers follow a very unusual course, almost all of them featuring gorges, defiles, and waterfalls, which are at their most spectacular during the spring when the snow melts.
		The river is so called because its 430-km course changes direction three times, covering a distance of only 90km as the crow flies between its source and the point where it flows into the Saône.
		This river, which gave its name to the Haute-Saône department, is considered as one of the best navigable rivers in the country, more particularly at Gray, which has become one of its main centres.

	Besancon
		Wherever there is a large bend in a major river, you can be sure that a city will occupy the center of the bend and use the river as a significant defensive obstacle -- a natural, medieval moat, if you will.
		The Doubs is a pretty big river, and Besançon has grown quite a bit on both sides of it.
		This was because the river bend was so tight that it almost created a perfect loop, so the Citadelle was constructed at the neck so as to lord over both sides of the bend.
