River article - River Murray River Australia Australia waterway streams stream creek - What-Means.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) A river conducts water by constantly flowing perpendicular to the elevation curve of its bed, thereby converting the positional energy of the water into kinetic energy. Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the 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. www.what-means.com /encyclopedia/Rivers   (1065 words)

List of Montana rivers Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) In modern programming languages, equality of lists is normally defined in terms of structural equality of the corresponding entries, except that if the lists are typed, then the list types may also be relevant. The standard way of implementing lists, originating with Lisp, is to have each element of the list contain both its value and a pointer indicating the location of the next element in the list. However, it is generally assumed that elements can be inserted into a list in constant time, while access of a random element in a list requires linear time; this is to be contrasted with an array (or ''vector''), for which the time complexities are reversed. www.echostatic.com /List_of_Montana_rivers.html   (600 words)
