 Wine of the Week - A Dry River Vertical of Gewurztraminer and Syrah
Three and a half years ago when I interviewed Neil McCallum, the founder and creator of Dry River Wines, I asked him why he decided to plant the aromatic variety, Gewurztraminer, along with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris in his foundation vineyard.

 The Gulf of Maine Times: Vol. 5 Num. 3 : The Ipswich River and the price of urban sprawl
The report card states that in 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey created a computer-based hydrology model of the river and determined that water withdrawals were reducing summer flows "by as much as 90 percent." The USGS found that some 20 to 25 million gallons of water are displaced from the watershed each day.
Furthermore, towns that pump groundwater are contributing to the alteration of the river's hydrology by lowering the water table.
At the other end of the river, in Ipswich, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and IRWA are working to restock the river with blueback herring, once bountiful in the river.

 Slot Canyons of the American Southwest - Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch, Utah
Location: Dry Fork crosses the Hole-in-the-Rock road 24 miles from UT 12, just after the signposted turning to the Early Weed Bench trailhead, and a hike downstream may begin from here.
The longest stretch of narrows ends just upstream (west); the gulch here is on average around 2-3 metres wide, deep enough to be in shade for most of the day and apt to be quite muddy with frequent pools up to 2 feet deep after rainfall.
Just downstream of the entrance point, Dry Fork is joined by the minor tributary of Peekaboo Gulch, then after a few wide bends by the larger Spooky Gulch, which is as far as most visitors travel.

 Bone-Dry River Comes Alive / San Joaquin flows again after an agreement on pilot release program
From its headwaters in the Sierra Nevada to its confluence with the Sacramento River, the San Joaquin was once one of California's mightiest rivers, second only to the Sacramento in terms of annual outflow and the number of salmon it supported.
The river basically disappeared for a 50-mile stretch upstream of its confluence with the Merced River, and the fish, waterfowl and tule elk disappeared with it.
The renascent river, it is hoped, will have lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow, abundant wildlife and robust runs of spawning salmon.

 Water curbs fear in plan to help river - The Big Dry - www.theage.com.au
The Thomson River, which flows to the Gippsland Lakes, has been at the heart of a city-versus-country dispute since it was dammed 20 years ago.
The latest scientific report on the river's health - one of 11 such studies over 20 years - said the Thomson needed 47,000 million litres returned to be healthy.
Environment Victoria said the report offered a "medium-term hope" for the river but it was disappointed that the recommendations fell short of what scientists said the river needed.

 The River Runs Dry: Examining Water Shortages in the Yellow River Basin
The Yellow River (Huang He) has been deservedly cast as a source of great prosperity and great despair in the annals of Chinese history.
The Yellow River is the most heavily sediment-laden river in the world, holding nine-times as much sediment as the Ganges River, the closest standard for comparison.
Less often mentioned as a factor contributing to water shortages in China is growth in agricultural, municipal and industrial rates of water usage that followed the liberalizing of the Chinese economy in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

NORTH READING -- All that remains of the stretch of the Ipswich River just east of where it crosses Interstate 93 is a tiny pond -- a last refuge teeming with all the aquatic life meant for a wide, rolling river.
Eventually, the Ipswich River Watershed Association would like to see the state impose stricter conservation measures and sanction communities that withdraw unsafe water amounts, she said.
In early Colonial times, the river was stocked with fish such as salmon, smelt, alewife and blueback herring and sea run trout -- species that migrate up and downstream to spawn.

 The Colorado: A River Drained Dry
Fifty miles south of the U.S. border in Mexico's Baja California, the great river of the West that I had followed from beginning to end was gone, the water in its bed a shallow, narrow sump of salt and pesticide-laced runoff from crop irrigation.
As rivers are measured, the Colorado has only a few superlatives: Its elevational drop is the greatest in North America; it is one of the siltiest (before the dams, it carried an average load of 380,000 tons a day); and it is one of the saltiest, carrying nine million tons a year.
The river used to flood silty cold in the spring and trickle warm and clear in the fall.
