	HM Schooner NANCY
		This was a partially overland route from York (Toronto) north to the Holland River.
		It was on the Nottawasaga River that the Nancy then received and transported supplies to the British garrison at Fort Mackinac, between Lakes Huron and Michigan.
		A 360 mile canoe trip was made from Fort Mackinac to the Nottawasaga River by a British scout, Lieutenant Livingston with a message warning Lieutenant Commander Worsley to hide the Nancy up river away from the approaching Americans.

	Nancy Island - History; 1800's Lumber Trade
		The Nottawasaga River served as a natural route for the logs to be transported to the lumber mills.
		Establishing a commercial harbour at the mouth of the Nottawasaga was viable as the schooners, tugs, and steamers of the day easily navigated the lower reaches of the river.
		The wreck, underlining the deficiencies of using the Nottawasaga as a harbour, may have been a deciding factor, which led to the railway officials decision to end the rail line several miles to the west at what is now Collingwood.

	Angus Ontario
		Delpark Homes, Nottawasaga Village After a long discussion(made longer by others whom entered into it) we still could come to logical conclusion, whether this new subdivision is or isn't part of Angus.
		The spring thaw added vast volumes of melt waters to the rivers, and reports indicated that the water level in the three rivers rose fourteen feet.
		The flooding at Wasaga was made worse by the presence of a massive ice jam, five miles long at the mouth of the Nottawasaga River.

	Earth Observation Magazine
		Such is the case in Angus where the Nottawasaga River meanders through the community and converges with the Pine and Mad Rivers from the west and Bear Creek from the east.
		Since the 1980’s, floodplain mapping and flood protection studies of the Nottawasaga River and Pine River systems have identified that a number of buildings and structures in the community would be affected not only by rainfall and snowmelt induced flooding, but also by ice jam factors during spring freshet periods.
		As shown in the table, 90% of all the spot and contour elevations are within the required OMNR tolerance for floodline mapping for Map 11 including the spot elevations on the banks of the Nottawasaga River (Spot 102) and in wooded areas (Spot 121).

	Nancy Island - History; War of 1812
		The sunken hull of the Nancy formed an obstruction in the river and an island was establishes by the resultant deposition of silt.
		While the Nancy was away on the fourth trip to the Nottawasaga supply base, the American Fleet left Detroit on July 3, 1814 for the attack on Fort Michilimackinac.
		Eventually the river mouth was blocked with felled trees and the ships proceeded along the north shore in the hope of intercepting fur-laden canoes on the lake.

	Canadian Canoe Routes - Route Description
		Representatives of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources said it would not be possible because of low water and numerous log jams.
		As the trees become too large for their roots to hold them up in the wet swamp much and the river undermines the banks, these giants lean toward the river until their branches rest on the river bottom, creating a barricade.
		As we rounded a bend in the river we discovered the identity of the grass tramplers when a large flock of Canada geese made a noisy exit.

	CHRS - Humber - Fact Sheet
		From its sources in the Town of Caledon and the Townships of Adjala-Tosorontio and Mono, to its mouth at Lake Ontario in the Cities of Toronto and Etobicoke, the main branch of the Humber travels 100 km through a variety of natural habitats in both rural and urban landscapes.
		The Humber River system spans four regional municipalities or counties and ten local municipalities and is bounded to the west by the Etobicoke Creek, Mimico Creek and Credit River watersheds, and to the east by the Don River and Rouge River watersheds.
		To the north, the Humber watershed is bounded by the Nottawasaga River watershed, which drains into Georgian Bay (Lake Huron), and the Holland River watershed, which drains into Lake Simcoe.

	River Rendezvous '97 Proceedings
		In particular, river communities are generally more complex than lake communities, mainly because of the importance of detritus (leaf) based energy sources in small streams and the export of this material to the lower reaches of the river.
		Rivers originating in forested northern hemisphere catchments undergo community change in a fairly predictable fashion as they flow downstream, thanks in large part to the understanding of this river food web.
		The Thames River Anglers Association (TRAA) was formed in the spring of 1986 by a small group of anglers concerned with the steady decline of smallmouth bass in all branches of the Thames River.

	ScienceLives! Online - Ecology - The Riparian Zone
		Riparian zones occur along rivers, and act as a transition zone between the terrestrial and the aquatic ecosystems.
		The vegetation in these riparian zones influences the river by shading and by providing organic matter (Gregory et al., 1991.) The riparian zones may also trap nutrients, such as nitrogen, which otherwise would have gone directly into the stream.
		If managers are interested in reducing nitrogen inputs to a river, they need to determine if the riparian zone is a suitable site for denitrification.

		Owing to their land in Sunnidale being near a large cedar swamp extending into Nottawasaga, the locality was to aquish, and they accordingly determined to remove to a better spot in Nottawasaga.

	Stream Nitrate-N Loads in Relation to Variations in Annual and Seasonal Runoff Regimes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The number of years of record required to give a reliable estimate of long-term average N03-N loads was analyzed for E. Duffin Creek and the Nottawasaga River in Ontario, Canada.
		The errors involved in calculating average loads were examined by comparing the loads derived from sampling periods of one or more consecutive years duration with the estimated long-term average load for the two rivers.
		Six consecutive years of record would be required for both rivers to ensure that an error of > ± 20 percent would occur in only 5 percent of these observation periods.
