  Old River Control   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
At the location we now call Old River, about 314 miles from the river's mouth, there was a loop in the river not unlike the New Madrid loop today.
When Henry was finished, the Red River flowed into the Atchafalaya and Old River, which used to be the bottom half of the loop, flowed out of the Mississippi and into the Atchafalaya.
The river claimed the southern wing wall of the structure, and nearly undermined its foundation which is sunk ninety feet into the river bottom.

 The Gold Ledge - River Mining
River mining is not local to California, though undoubtedly carried on to a greater extent here than in any other gold-bearing district in the world.
During these years all of the large gold-bearing rivers in the State were worked, but the industry gradually declined in relative importance with the discovery and opening of the mines in the old river channels.
Hydraulic mining from 1857-58 practically extinguished river mining in many of the rivers by reason of tailings covering up the river claims, and it is only since 1880, coincident with the restriction of hydraulic mining, that the attention of mining men has been directed to the river channels.

 Old Crow
Old Crow Flats, located 73 km north of the Arctic Circle and 110 km south of the Beaufort Sea, represents one of the Yukon's most valuable wetlands and provides breeding habitat for several aquatic mammals, peregrine falcons, and a variety of waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds.
Old Crow residents seem to feel that lake levels have been dropping, and are concerned that the Flats are "drying up" from the warmer temperatures and earlier springs of recent years.
The Old Crow River basin, located north of the community of Old Crow, is the largest, covering 550,000 ha, 26 percent of which is wetland (open water, emergent vegetation, or floating mats).

 Atchafalaya River   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The Atchafalaya River is a distributary of the Mississippi and Red rivers, approximately 170 mi (270 km) long, in south central Louisiana in the United States.
The Atchafalya Basin, the surrounding plain of the river, is filled in bayous, cypress swamps, and marshes.
It is now widely suspected that the channeling of the river and subsequent lowering of siltation has resulted in severe degradation of the surrounding wetlands as well as widespread submerging of populated and agricultural lands of the bayou country.

 The Kern River   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The river in the 1850s flowed in south-trending channel on the east side of the valley, but a flood in 1862 cut a southwesterly channel several miles to the west, pretty much along the route of the modern Old River Road.
Just west of the park is where the river flow is measured by the water agencies, and the flow at this point determines what water allocations are allowed to flow down canals to farms throughout the valley.
In total, the river is diverted into seven canals that run through town before what remains of the water finally flows into the remnants of Buena Vista Lake, a shadow of its former self.

 Eastland Memorial Society - Chicago River History
A plan was evolved to cut through that ridge with a canal from the southerly tip of the south branch of the Chicago River and carry the wastes away from the lake and down to the Mississippi River through the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers.
To reverse the flow of the Chicago River, a 28-mile canal was built from the south branch of the river through the low summit and down to Lockport.
In 1910 another small artificial river was completed by building a dam, lock, and pumping plant at Wilmette and by digging the North Shore channel, connecting Lake Michigan with the north branch of the Chicago River.
