Andrew Geddes Bain came to the Cape in 1816, probably on the Princess Charlotte with his maternal uncle Col. William Geddes, who was returning at that time on leave from Scotland to rejoin his regiment at the Cape.
During the Frontier War of 1834-5 Bain served as Captain in the Graaff-Reinet Mounted Burghers and later in the Fort Beau-fort Levies when he was in charge of Fort Thompson on the Tyumie River.
Through Bain's success in constructing the Oudeberg and van Ryneveld passes he was attached to the Royal Engineers (1837-45) and was responsible inter alia for the Queen's Road between Grahamstown, Fort Beaufort and another military road through Pluto's Vale to Breakfast Vlei.

 Connecticut River Flow and Policies
Connecticut River Commissioner Peter Richardson opened the conference with an overview of the forces that influence river flows, and traced the increasing influence of human actions such as deforestation, impoundment, and urbanization upon the Connecticut River.
The river's flow depends both upon precipitation and upon how water is held back, removed, or released, either directly at dams, through water withdrawals, or as a result of forest clearing or land paving activity in the watershed.
Bain agreed with Lambert's observation that higher flows are the channel forming flows, and that the shape of a river's channel is greatly influenced by bankfull flows.

It is a very diverse river that sometimes flows quietly, meandering over a broad, fertile floodplain, and at others rushes over prominent waterfalls and rapids (important waterpower locales) or through narrow gorges.
However, a prominent divergence occurs at Portland, CT. The river flows southeast, leaving wide lowlands developed in soft rock of the Mesozoic rift valley to erode a narrow valley across 30 miles of hard metamorphic rocks of the eastern highlands to finally end at Long Island Sound.
In places the Connecticut River was not able to find its preglacial course after Hitchcock's drainage, and instead of a wide, floodplained valley, the river found itself flowing over bedrock creating waterfalls and rapids, or coursing through a narrow valley.

 River Bain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Bain is a river in Lincolnshire, England, and a tributary of the River Witham.
The Bain rises in the Lincolnshire Wolds at Ludford, a village on The Viking Way long-distance footpath, and flows through or past the villages of Burgh on Bain, Biscathorpe, Donington on Bain, Goulceby with Asterby and Hemingby before reaching the town of Horncastle where it is joined by the River Waring.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and after protracted negotiation, a group of venture capitalists canalized the Bain between Horncastle and the Witham.

The Songhua River is seriously polluted and is now acknowledged by the State Environmental Protection Agency as being one of the four most polluted basins in the PRC; with the levels of pollution recognized as impairing both natural resources and economic development within the region.
The overall goal of the TA is to improve water quality in the Songhua River, strengthen the capacity of the Government for policy analysis and pollution control management, and assist the Government in developing a long-term vision for pollution control in the Songhua River Basin.

Hudson River (New York, New Jersey): "A lot of diversity for a river that flows through the most densely populated region in the U.S." Because the lower Hudson never had controlled flows, Bain said, the river remains a stronghold for many Atlantic Coast migratory fishes.
The river scientists said they hoped the report -- by presenting state-of-the-art knowledge about the importance of natural variability to aquatic and riparian ecosystems -- will help river managers and agencies make the argument that unfettered rivers have multiple benefits for nature and for human society.

 Donington on Bain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The valley of the River Bain, in which the village stands, has Kimmeridge clay beneath glacial meltwater sands and gravels all of which have been used over the centuries for brickmaking and sand and gravel extraction.
Much of the land close to the river is wetland and as it cannot be brought under tillage is used mainly for grazing sheep and cattle.
The word Bain is Celtic in origin and the word−ending "ton" indicates that the village was probably an Anglo−Saxon settlement (circa 800 − 450 BC).

As part of that study transmissivity and stream depletion factor maps of the Platte River basin in Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming were developed and published as Appendix II of the report, but under separate cover.
The transmissivity map for the North Platte River in Goshen County, Wyoming, was obtained from a report of the U.S. Geological Survey in Cheyenne, Wyoming, titled, "Hydrologic analysis if the Valley-fill aquifer, North Platte River Valley, Goshen County, Wyoming" (Crist, 1975).
Variability in the transmissivity information on the South PLatte River at the Colorado-Nebraska State line was minimal and therefore it was possible to join the contour lines for transmissivity.

 Tongariro River Bain Pool, Turangi, New Zealand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Bain Pool enthusiasts¹ theory is that this is the first turbulent flow the trout encounter on their up-river spawning run - after growing to maturity for three years in Lake Taupo they have forgotten the thrill of shooting the rapids.
Therefore they are more disorientated, they need time to wait for others driven by instinctive sexual desire, flashing their red flanks, more focused on mating rites, to lead the charge through the confusing braided sections.
Bains is popular with the more sensible mature (read ³timid²?) anglers who feel nervous trying not to slip arsy parsy on the usual Tongariro riverbed of greasy cannon balls.
