  Copper River Watershed Project
Wild Copper River salmon are born in freshwater streams high in the river’s pristine headwaters, 300 miles north of the Gulf of Alaska.
Mighty fish with legendary endurance, king salmon are rich in healthy Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which power and insulate them up the cold and swift Copper River.
It is there, near the mouth of the mighty Copper River, that the fishermen set their nets and carefully fish for the famous Copper River salmon.

 River Law: Who owns the rivers? River navigability law, for river access, river rights, river conservation, canoeing, ...
For example, a farmer or rancher may erect a fence across a river and expect boaters coming down the river to terminate their trip at that point and leave the river, even though the river is every bit as navigable downstream from the fence as it is upstream.
Rivers cannot be closed or partially closed to appease adjacent landowners, fishermen who want to dedicate the river to fishing only, or to make life easier for local law enforcement agencies.
But rivers that are navigable for title purposes are public land up to the ordinary high water line, so that even when the river runs dry, people still have the right to walk along the bed of the river.

 Nuclear Power Plant Operation
Nuclear power plants are quite different from coal, oil and gas fired power plants in the way they generate electricity.
Nuclear power generation has some environmental advantages over coal, but the nuclear plants are more expensive to build and the nuclear waste is a disposal problem.
Hydroelectric power is inexpensive once the dam is built, but it has limited use due to the fact that it requires blocking a river and flooding an area of land.

The Columbia River and the constant sign of the flowing water throughout our Pacific Northwest can remind us of who we are in relationship to God, of the reverence we need to have for the gift, and of the responsible use we make of this life-giving treasure.
Salmon from the river are caught by other nations on the open seas, and the cleanliness of the river is impacted by industry, farming, and how we as individuals use the river.

 Billingsly, Mighty Like a River
Mighty Like a River fails not because of some methodological flaw in his collection of the data about contemporary fl churches in the United States.
Rather, the book is limited because Billingsley fails to take up the more troublesome challenge his account suggest: that the role and place of fl churches in contemporary fl America's public life have changed dramatically during the twentieth century, precisely because the nature of that public has so dramatically changed.
And perhaps this is necessary, because the fl power phase of the fl freedom struggle had an ambivalent relation to the fl church tradition.

It remains to be seen whether stated policy is ultimately implemented in the region's development plans.

 Northern Tidal Flows: Reliable New Power Source for Quebec?
The export of hydroelectric power from Quebec's James Bay mega-hydroelectric installations to the Northeastern United States earns a substantial amount of revenue for the Government of Quebec, as does re-selling power generated in Churchill Falls and purchased from the easternmost province Newfoundland and Labrador.
This technology could potentially become a future means by which a portion of Quebec's electric power may be produced in the future and become a complementary technology to gravity-based river-flow hydroelectric power generation.
The power that can be generated from ocean currents along the northern coast of Quebec can be added to the potential for tidal power that exists in Ungava Bay.

CHONGQING, China (Reuters) -- It is already one of China's filthiest cities, but some say this teeming Yangtze River metropolis is now destined to sit on the shores of an immense cesspool formed by a dam hundreds of miles (km) downstream.
China's economic boom of the last two decades has already taken its toll on the river, while intensive farming has further muddied the river's waters by speeding up soil erosion.
Officials say the main function of the dam is to tame the mighty Yangtze, which ranks only behind the Amazon and the Congo in terms of water flow.

 Marsden B - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marsden B is an unused oil fired power station near the Marsden oil refinery in Ruakaka, New Zealand.
It was built but never commissioned due to rising oil prices in the 80s and cheaper power alternatives available to the electrical grid from hydroelectric generation in the South Island.
The exhaust chimneys for both stations were brought down after partial dismantling of Marsden A. The plant has recently gained notoriety because the state owned enterprise Mighty River Power has proposed refiring Marsden B on coal.
