	New River (England) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New River is a man-made waterway in England, opened in 1613 to supply London with fresh drinking water taken from the River Lee and from springs and wells along its course.
		Its original termination point was at New River Head in Islington, close to the current location of Sadler's Wells theatre.
		The semi-redundant section of the New River's course between Canonbury and Islington town centre now forms a picturesque walk alongside the now shallow stream.

		There, the river changes character as it tumbles through the canyons of New River Gorge, creating serious rapids of Class III to Class V. Outfitters in Virginia and West Virginia are ready to take visitors fishing, canoeing, tubing, or whitewater rafting.

	Historical record of flooding on the Mohawk River, New York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For the purpose of this study, the dam is far removed from the majority of the Mohawk drainage basin and has been in use for all but the first 9 years of the data set, making it relatively insignificant in the large trends measured in the analysis.
		Indeed, the data sets the stage that this river's flood potential is on the rise and this needs to be an integral part of the planning all development, including the spending of the state's $150 million investment in river and canal development.
		Historic Flooding on the Mohawk River is the last ~80 years of flooding on the lower reaches of the Mohawk River (Cohoes, NY monitoring station).

		OAKLAND, N.J., Oct. 14 - When the brown, murky waters of the Ramapo River crept up the seventh of thirteen stairs that separate the two floors of Edith Seltenheim's house here on Friday, she began to pray for relief, but not for rescue.

		"The river is great, but this isn't a river," she said pointing at the waterline halfway up her neighbor's doors.
