The literal translation of Ribera del Duero is "bank of the Duero" but many of the better vineyards are on upland slopes and benchlands above the river itself, although some of the finest vineyards are on the river.

The ARRIBES DEL DUERO are a beautiful natural formation created by the Duero river as it cuts through granite rock as it marks the border between Portugal and Spain, creating an impressive 50 km-long canyon.
This Spanish-Portuguese region, which includes the Zamora and Salamanca provinces, is characterized by its granite rock formations, which together with its extreme climatic conditions (temperatures and rainfall), have resulted in poor, shallow soils, well suited to extensive livestock farming and vineyards.
The lack of specialization in any one type of farming, due to the area´s characteristics, has meant greater diversification in land use: livestock, arable, forestry, and a sectioned terrain.

 Spain - IBERIA
The people who were later named Iberians (or dwellers along the Rio Ebro) by the Greeks, migrated to Spain in the third millennium B.C. The origin of the Iberians is not certain, but archaeological evidence of their metallurgical and agricultural skills supports a theory that they came from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
Celts crossed the Pyrenees into Spain in two major migrations in the ninth and the seventh centuries B.C. The Celts settled for the most part north of the Rio Duero and the Rio Ebro, where they mixed with the Iberians to form groups called Celtiberians.
The Celtiberians were farmers and herders who also excelled in metalworking crafts, which the Celts had brought from their Danubian homeland by way of Italy and southern France.

 Hydrologic Balance of Lake Chapala (Mexico)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Lake Chapala, whose primary tributary is the Rio Lerma, is the largest freshwater lake in Mexico and for the past 95 years has maintained an average storage capacity close to 6,700 Mm3.
In response to these upstream anthropogenic activities, the fisheries, aesthetics, and water quality of Lake Chapala have decreased as a consequence of the increasing chemical and biologic pollutants mainly from the Rio Lerma.
Additionally, the growth of Guadalajara has resulted in increasing potable water demands on the lake to satisfy a population currently greater than 4.5 million.
