Oregon has river culture—a scene you cruise by inner tube, where social status is measured in the height of the rocks you jump off; where Hispanic evangelicals perform baptisms; where steelheaders cast their lines alongside naked sun-worshippers; and where the chirp of birdsong mixes with the hoot of numbskulls chanting, "Show us yer tits!"
Second, long stretches of the river are difficult or impossible to access from the road, unless deputies want to clamber down a steep bank, which is both time-consuming and difficult to accomplish silently.
This river is diverse and used by the lower classes, its close and cheap to use/get to (if you argue with this, please back it up).

 The impact of cropland cover on river nutrient levels in the Mississippi River Basin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Methods: County and state-level estimates of the planted area of maize, soybean and wheat were integrated with a satellite-derived pattern in total cropland to develop 5' x 5' resolution datasets of the fractional area of maize, soybean and wheat in the United States for 1950, 1970 and 1992.
Regression analysis was used to determine the relationships between mean levels of nitrogen, phosphorous and silica in 25 rivers across the Mississippi Basin, and the extent of maize, soybean and wheat cultivation in the watersheds.
In particular, the area of maize appears to be strongly related to the concentration of total-N and the ratio of dissolved inorganic-N and organic-N at the watershed outlet.

 C&EN: COVER STORY - ROCKET-FUELED RIVER
The perchlorate contamination of the lower Colorado River is also unusual because of the sheer number of people exposed in their drinking water to a chemical that came from a single source of pollution.
In the West, water is measured in acre-feet--the amount of water needed to cover an acre of land to a depth of 1 foot, or 325,851 gal.
The lower Colorado River is the sole source of water for homes, industry, and farms in a swath of California between the Salton Sea and Mexico.

 MassWWP River Ecology
Rivers offer areas for swimming, boating, fishing, or waste disposal, and sources of water for generating energy, drinking, snowmaking, irrigating crops or fighting fires.
As the river flows downstream, some organic material is stored (as insect or animal tissue), some is cycled (changed to different forms), and some is released.
Above the dam, water velocity is slowed, causing soil particles and organic material to settle to the bottom and cover the river bed with mud.

 Buckland (AK) River Bridge Project
In this project we used a three-dimensional discrete element river ice model to simulate the interaction of river ice with the piers of a proposed bridge at Buckland, Alaska.
The Buckland River is generally frozen each year from October through May. The interaction of the river ice and the piers of the proposed bridge is an important consideration.
During spring breakup of the river ice cover, the moving floes can exert large forces on the bridge piers, and these forces must be taken into consideration in the design of the piers.

 On the Cover - North Coast Journal - March 2, 2006 -
I was starting to get the hang of this "river time." The most-late guy took me up to the Somes Bar Store [right] and showed me where to get a good view of the mountain that is the center of the world to the Karuk.
A little creek runs down the mountain into the river by the bridge we were standing on, which was built in 1965 after the '64 flood washed out the one whose steel carcass inspired the shootout.
So I drove to the end, where the land descends to meet the river and there's a broad, sunny clearing with a cluster of houses, a line of hood-up cars, and a little church.

And perhaps most significantly, they set the scene for human settlement by redirecting the Spokane River to the course we see it in today, and carving the falls that form the center of the city.
Conveniently located at a favorable river crossing that connected roads to the Pend Oreille, Kettle Falls, Coeur d'Alene and the Palouse country, Plante's land is now commemorated as a pleasant park across from Myrtle Point, between Millwood and Trentwood in Spokane Valley.
But such matters did not stop Plante from setting up a toll ferry across the river in front of his house, and the 1860-61 session of the territorial legislature granted him a full license to run it.

 Flow Resistance of River Ice Cover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
An empirical model is developed for describing the time-dependent variation of the hydraulic resistance coefficient of a river’s ice cover as a function of weather and flow conditions.
Sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the effect of error in the input variables on the flow resistance and the relative importance of model variables.
The model is applicable to river reaches with or without an open water area, and is useful in the simulation of winter flow conditions of large rivers.

When we got to the river's edge, the kids busied themselves with sticks and sand for a few minutes, until little Jack inevitably stepped toward the water.
The result in Boston is that the Charles River basin is already safe enough for boating most days and safe enough for swimming more than half of the time, and it is the EPA's goal to make the entire river safe for both activities by 2005.

 WWF Global 200 Ecoregions -- Lower Mississippi River (146)
Long before the first steamboat traveled the Mississippi, the native Algonquian people gave the river its name, which means "big water." Many of the earliest explorers on the continent traveled here, and today the river is still an important transportation route.
The current channel of the Mississippi River was determined by the flow of ice-melt from glaciers in the upper Mississippi basin.
Channelization of the river and the building of dams and levees to control flooding have changed the natural flow of the river and caused the loss of floodplain habitats along large portions of the river.

On the cover was a beautiful young woman, stark naked, walking toward the viewer while a monster prepared to leap at her.
But what I meant was---I'm just assuming you've seen the covers I'm talking about---that when Fabio or whomever else is depicted on such covers is gazing deeply into the eyes of his latest lover, a hairy paw is reaching over his shoulder, about ready to drag him to who knows where.

 The HooK: COVER STORY- River city: Scottsville's awash... in cash
"Sadly," writes Moore, "this river town's moment of glory was brief." In 1858, a railroad tunnel through the Blue Ridge, designed by engineer Claudius Crozet, allowed freight and passengers to move easily between the Valley and Tidewater-- and bypass Scottsville in the process.
The firm suggested that the town build a levee along the river and place a small dam on Mink Creek (a waterway that meanders through Scottsville on its way to the James).
Scottsville was the County seat of a much larger Albemarle from 1745 to 1762 and has gone through a number of transformations over the years from an access point for early ferry traffic, to a bustling river port, to a sleepy railroad pit stop.
