	ofr87-242--Largest Rivers in the United States
		Rivers are considered large on the basis of one or more of three characteristics: total length from source to mouth, area of basin (watershed) drained by the stream, and average rate of flow (discharge) at the mouth.
		River lengths or river-length data are affected not only by some of the natural and artificial causes noted in the preceding paragraph, but also by the precision of various techniques of measurement, by the scale of available maps or aerial photographs, and by somewhat arbitrary decisions.
		For example, the length may be considered to be the distance from the mouth to the most distant headwater source (irrespective of stream name) or from the mouth to the headwaters of the stream commonly identified as the source stream.

	The Salinity of Rivers
		The saltiness of rivers is simply a matter of the relative amount of water that is turned into water vapor through consumption, whether it is natural or the result of human activity.
		Before man began harnessing the rivers the seasonal floods were highly effective in carrying salts to the ocean and keeping the river basin in reasonably good salt balance.
		It is the third-longest river in the U.S., yet like the Colorado it does not qualify for inclusion in the Geological Survey list of 33 rivers with the highest discharge.

	Rivers: Nationwide Rivers Inventory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Maps and lists of these rivers were sent to other eastern regional offices of BOR to identify segments of rivers impounded by dams or channelized, and to delete them from the list.
		Eastern Recreational Rivers Study - Phase II Seventy-five percent of the rivers initially listed were deleted through the course of "Phase I" largely due to the amount of development within the river corridor.
		This is because a river segment, when studied for possible inclusion in the Wild and Scenic River System, must be judged as it is found to exist at the time of the study, rather than as it may exist as some future time.

	Federal Register Notice > EPA's American Heritage Rivers
		The communities surrounding designated rivers will receive a number of benefits, including special recognition; focused support from existing federal programs; a person (the River Navigator) to serve as a liaison between the community and the federal government; improved delivery of assistance from agencies throughout the federal government; and a good neighbor policy.
		American Heritage Rivers is a commitment by the federal government to try to provide those programs and resources, identified by the community and paid for by taxpayers, in the most efficient and effective manner possible.
		The River Navigator may request that state, tribal, and local governments participate in the teams that will be assembled to work with each community to implement its plan of action.

	River Alliance of Wisconsin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In our work as a river conservation organization, we often deal with that element of rivers you'd call the "working river," the river that transports goods, generates electrical power, conveys waste water, and irrigates crops.
		That facet of a river brings out the technocratic in us -- we need to know it like a nurse needs to know her patient, measuring flow and pollution load and oxygen levels.
		As we ask people about their "home river," most everyone can pull up a memory or an inspiring moment spent by a river.

		Where possible, diverted water may be returned to the river clean and near the point of diversion; specifically, some municipal water supplies treat their sewage and return fairly clean water to the river.
		Most rivers are not so lucky: either the water comes back contaminated with pollutants, or not at all.

	rivers that flow north
		The vast percentage of rivers on the planet flow in a southerly direction because the source (usually in the mountains) is to the north of the mouth.
		If the source of a river is at a higher elevation than the mouth, that river will run from the source to the mouth.
		We haven't listed rivers that run to the northwest, or rivers that don't meet the exact requirements.

	USFWS Adds Canada Lynx to the Candidate Species List
		Washington: (Listed as Threatened in 1993) Lynx occupy 5 of the 6 areas considered to be lynx habitat in the State of Washington.
		The "distinct population segment" policy is designed to clarify that term for listing, delisting, or reclassifying species under the Endangered Species Act and applies to vertebrate animals that many be endangered or threatened in part of their range but are more numerous elsewhere.
		In the case of the lynx, a distinct population segment means that lynx in the lower 48 United States are considered discreet in that this population is delineated by an international political boundary that coincides with differences in status and management.

	NHDES Watershed Management Bureau: Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP)
		A distinctive characteristic of the NH Rivers Management and Protection Program is the partnership created between state government and local citizens through the formation of a local river management advisory committee for each designated river.
		The main responsibilities of the advisory committee are to develop and implement a local river corridor management plan and advise local, state, and federal governing bodies and agencies of activities which may affect the water quality or flow of the protected river or segment.
		Several of the local river management advisory committees (LACs) have extended their efforts for river protection by undertaking projects outlined in the river management plans or those which the committee felt would further benefit the river and river communities.
