Alison Maddock in her study, "The River Alt Levels -1589-1779"(8) states that : "the Alt is small river …whose influence on life and livelihood in the area has been out of all proportion to it's size".
Whatever, it was not until the "Alt Drainage Act -1779" (12) that authorities addressed the problems facing the communities and, on investigation, found the changing course of the Alt to be the reason for the erosion at the shore.

 River/Thru Town Alternatives Comments

Since the Salinas River represents a key source of fresh water for the purposes of groundwater recharge and direct diversion, a criteria of the operations of the project is to optimize the use of the Salinas River flows and minimize the outflow to the ocean.

hen Okkervil River, an alt-country quartet from Austin with two overlooked records and a cult following, does it right, they sound sharp and truthful without feeling too nostalgically bittersweet—like the kind of breakaway film that wins the Oscar without really trying.
And while alt-country is often guilty of being formulaic, the songs on Down the River of Golden Dreams are structurally complex, rambling, and shift easily between pounding pop and tender lullaby.
While Okkervil River certainly knows how to write a slow, tragic song, the group is also capable of turning up the volume.
