	The Science
		The first are catchwork (or catchmeadow) systems where water from springs and streams is diverted along contoured gutters cut into a hillside and controlled such that it overflows this high-level watercourse to run downhill through the grass to be collected in a gutter at a lower level.
		Water is caused to descent through the grass on either side to drains.
		Water meadows had spread rapidly since the sixteenth century and their success depended upon their production of animal products (notably sheep meat and wool), on producing a reliable hay crop and boosting the productivity of cereal crops grown on the thin chalky soils of the downland located adjacent to the valley bottoms.

		The melt water from glaciers carry this material in streams downslope to the streams's flood plain.
		At the end of the last glacial period, about 10,000 years ago, the glaciers were much larger than they are today and the warming that ended the glacial period led to accelerated melting.
		Glacial melt waters came down the mountain side in torrents and carried huge volumes of soil material that created the outwash plains that we see today.

		In the United States, glaciers cover over 75,000 square kilometres, with most of the glaciers located in Alaska.There are nearly 100,000 glaciers in Alaska, and most of them don't have names.
		Tropical glaciers in Africa have decreased in area by 60 to 70% on average since the early 1900s.
		The glaciers of western Greenland, where 90% of Newfoundland's icebergs originate, are amongst the fastest moving in the world, up to 7 km per year.

	West Bloomfield Canals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Allowing canals to mean unusual channels rather than simply man-made water routes, the "first" canals in West Bloomfield still exist in the deepest parts of our numerous deep lakes.
		These "fishing holes" were arteries that carried away glacial melt waters some 10,000 years ago from the fronts of the receding glaciers.
		Those that were unsuccessful claimed simply that "the bottom of the river ended up too close to the top of the water", largely ignoring any resulting damage to the environment.

		Where water velocities were highest, the Missoula floods eroded channels, many with scour depressions, and left scabs or erosion remnants of basalt.

	Physiography and Land Use
		During the last glacial period the St. Croix served as a major drainage for glacial melt waters.
		In addition to carrying melt waters from the glacier, the St. Croix carried overflow waters from large glacial lakes that occurred in the Lake Superior basin.
		The remainder of the Valley is composed primarily of broad, flat glacial outwash plains and kettle and knob topography associated with terminal and end moraines.

	Rough Science . New Zealand . Mike Bullivant's Diary \| PBS
		Weathering and erosion release the gold from the quartz and surrounding rock, and it's washed downstream by glacial melt-waters, streams and rivers.
		Because the water flows less quickly on the inside of a bend, it's here that the heavy gold flakes and grains will be deposited in a line (anything from a few centimetres to a metre or so wide) on the riverbed.
		As the water carries the gold and sediment over a boulder or rock, the gold grains and flakes fall to the riverbed on the downstream side.The gold eventually works its way down the clay bedrock, where it comes to rest.

	Yangtze River
		The source of the Yangtze is the Wu-lan-mu-lun (Ulan Muren) River, which originates in glacial melt waters on the slopes of the T'ang-ku-la Mountains in southern Tsinghai province on the border with the Tibet Autonomous Region.
		From the confluence of this stream with several others, the river flows generally easterly through a shallow, spacious valley, the bottom of which is studded with lakes and small reservoirs.
		The river receives the waters of many tributaries, among which the Ya-lung River is the largest and contributes the most water.

	Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve
		It is one of the largest estuaries on the Atlantic Coast and at 10 miles inland is one of the most recessed.
		The glacial melt waters contributed to rising ocean waters, which flooded the land and filled the river valleys that make up Great Bay today.
		Eelgrass plants help maintain water quality and clarity by filtering the water allowing sediments to settle and then using the excess nutrients for growth.

	Lulworth Cove - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The entrance to the cove is a narrow gap in the limestone bands.
		This was formed by a combination of erosional processes by wave action and glacial melt waters.
		The wide part of the cove is where the weak clays and greensands have been eroded.

	Squam Swamp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		As the last glacier advanced from the north approximately 15,000 years ago, it moved small rocks, large boulders, sand, and clay ahead of it.
		This material was deposited along the glacier’s southernmost edge, forming a moraine that is now visible as the weathered, gently rolling hills (kames) and valleys (kettles) that make up the northern portion of the island.
		By contrast, the southern half of Nantucket is relatively flat and consists of the finer, sandy material that was laid down in an outwash plain by glacial melt waters flowing to the sea.

		Changes in oceanic thermohaline circulation, triggered by variations in the flux of glacial melt water to the North Atlantic Ocean that affect the formation rate of North Atlantic Deep Water, can produce rapid dramatic changes in climate.
		Deep water does not originate exclusively in the North Atlantic, however; it also is made around the edges of Antarctica, where it is referred to as Antarctic Bottom Water.
		Although most of the attention given to the question of how the modification of sea surface salinity by the addition of glacial melt waters affects thermohaline circulation is still directed at Northern Hemisphere deepwater formation sites, the role of the Southern Ocean is now being investigated more vigorously.

		These waters eroded away the softer rock found in this area and thus formed a gap in the Pennines.
		This gap provided an excellent packhorse route and later on road, rail and canal all share this narrow pass.

		A walk through a narrow-walled gorge of the Blackhand sandstone tells of a time 330 million years ago when large rivers flowed out of the mountains to the east and southeast and deposited the sand and gravel that would become rock.

	The Madawaska River
		When the last ice age melted back some 11,000 years ago, it left a jumbled drainage pattern of lakes, rivers, and streams that carried away the glacial melt waters.

		Around supper tables and woodstoves, from the front seat of the car, or while dozing on the bedtime pillow, the stories and memories are passed to the next generation.

		The possibility of a human presence in Ireland during the latter stages of the Pleistocene and in the Late Glacial cannot be dismissed as there would have been ice-free areas in the south of the country potentially suitable for settlement.
		The lack of hard evidence today may be attributed to the rising sea level from glacial melt-waters, which subsequently flooded these areas to produce the modern coastline.
		Ireland was cut off from Britain by the rising sea level (Britain was later cut off from mainland Europe).
