	List of rivers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Passage via a river or stream is the usual way rainfall on land finds its way to the ocean or other large body of watersuch as a lake.
		Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of watersuch as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places wherethe soil is waterlogged.
		River management is an ongoing activity as rivers tend to 'undo' the modifications made by man. Dredged channels silt up,sluice mechanisms deteriorate with age, levees and dams may suffer seepage or catastrophic failure.

	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.
		The Big Sunflower River in Mississippi, which was the most endangered river last year because of an Army Corps of Engineers pumping and dredging project that the group said would destroy wetlands and stir up toxins in the river bed, was No. 2 on the group's list.
		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.

	Klamath Moves To Second Place on Endangered Rivers List
		In its annual report, the national environmental group cited “excessive irrigation diversions and hydropower dams that are causing the ecological collapse of the river and its fisheries” for its prominent placement on the list.
		The list reports “acute threats” to the listed rivers rather than their chronic problems; it is not a list of the nation’s most polluted rivers.
		Masten emphasized that if the problems of the river’s current water management aren’t addressed, the dramatic decline in coho salmon, a federal and state “endangered” species, will be followed by further declines in the rivers’s fall chinooks, spring chinooks, steelhead and green sturgeon populations.

		The Yukon is the nation's third longest river; at 1,980 official miles from its source in the Nisutlin River of the Yukon Territory to its mouth in the Bering Sea, it is outstretched only by the Missouri (2,540 miles) and the Mississippi (2,350 miles).
		The Tanana is one of four rivers on the USGS list that starts where a glacier ends; its official beginning, with the Nabesna River, is in meltwater from the Nabesna Glacier, 659 miles from its mouth.
		Another listed river starting at a glacier is the Susitna, which gathers enough water from the Susitna Glacier and its tributary streams to achieve 15th rank in discharge---51,000 cubic feet each second on average.

	WWF - Mississippi Piedmont Rivers & Streams - A Global Ecoregion
		The main rivers of the ecoregion are the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Ohio.
		The diversity of habitats, age, favourable climate, geologic stability of the region, and its escape from glaciation during the last Ice Age, have contributed to the evolution of a high diversity of animals.
		There is an isolation created by the ridges, valleys, and the large number of rivers and streams in this region that results in localised endemism where some species live only in a very limited area or one body of water.

		For the Peace River, the group calls for the federal government to conduct an area-wide environmental impact statement, and the state to finally establish "minimum flow" levels for wildlife as mandated by state law in 1973.
		The flow from the river is vital to maintaining the delicate balance of fresh and salt water in the estuary which many species of fish and animals need to thrive, according to American Rivers.
		Years ago, the river was also full of trout, bass, snook and tarpon, but the number of species has declined as a consequence of mining, according to Dr. Thomas Fraser, a marine biologist who has studied the phenomenon.

		River flow is controlled to allow barge traffic, which returns less money than recreational use of the river would bring.

		The so-called 303(d) list is to be compiled every two years, and is subject to EPA review and approval.
		The EPA also rejected the state's replacement of "sediment impairments" on 34 streams with "habitat loss." This was key because "habitat loss" isn't a pollutant, and thus wouldn't have been subject to Clean Water Act restrictions-even though habitat loss is the result of sedimentation.
		In addition, the agency expanded the list of pollutants to be cleaned up in 32 listed waterbodies, from insecticides in the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers to low water-oxygen levels, fecal contamination, and high mercury levels in other rivers and lakes.
