Alabama may be the last state in the United States to adopt the basic “public policy tools” that are necessary to effectively manage our water supplies.
Unfortunately, Alabama has no laws to restrict water consumption where and when such restrictions are necessary, nor does Alabama have an “instream flow policy” to require that a certain amount of water remain in our waterways to protect aquatic ecosystems, fisheries, and other in-stream uses of water.
Alabama’s population grew from 3.6 million people in 1975 to just over 4 million as of the 1990 census, and we are rapidly approaching the 5 million mark.

 Tombigbee River (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
It is one of two major rivers, along with the Alabama River, that unite to form the short Mobile River before it empties into Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico.
The river provides one of the principal routes of commercial navigation in the southern United States, navigable along much of its length through locks and connected in its upper reaches to the Tennessee River via the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
It is formed in northeastern Mississippi, in northern Monroe County, Mississippi, by the confluence of the East Fork Tombigbee River and Oldtown Creek.

 Colorado River tops 2004 list of endangered rivers
The river wanders 1,500 miles from the peaks of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, snaking across Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California before flowing into the Gulf of Baja in Mexico, although in most years it is little more than a trickle when it reaches its delta.

American Rivers, a Washington-based nonprofit conservation group, says the rivers on the list are not necessarily the ones with the worst chronic problems, but those they say are most in peril because of toxic chemicals, severe water shortages and other problems.

 Mon, Allegheny put on group's list of 10 most endangered rivers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
"To make the list there has to be an imminent threat, and that's there because of the additional acid mine drainage threatening to break out of all those abandoned mines," said Sara Nicholas, director of American Rivers' mid-Atlantic field office in Harrisburg.
According to the group's endangered rivers report, scheduled for release today, failure to reauthorize the federal trust fund, which is financed by royalties paid by mining companies, will short-circuit mine drainage treatment efforts and increase the amount of pollution reaching the two rivers from thousands of abandoned mines.
Nicholas said the rivers were nominated and listed together at No. 5 on the list of endangered rivers because they are "mirror images" of the abandoned mine drainage threat.

Where the river banks are fairly flat, this mark can be quite a distance from the edge of the water during medium water flows.
Note that this floatage easement is a matter of state law that varies from state to state, but the question of whether a river is navigable, for title purposes, and therefore owned by the state, is a matter of federal law, and does not vary from state to state.
But rivers that are navigable for title purposes are public land up to the ordinary high water mark, so that even when the river runs dry, people still have the right to walk along the bed of the river.
