	River Dee, Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Dee (Welsh: Afon Dyfrdwy) is a 70 mile (110 km) long river, which rises in Snowdonia, Wales and discharges to the sea a few miles west of Liverpool.
		At Chester the river passes under the A55 and around the Earl's Eye meadows, a protected green space between the Boughton and Handbridge suburbs of the city.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Altamaha River
		The Altamaha River basin drains nearly one quarter of the state of Georgia, with its 14,000-square-mile watershed reaching from the upper Piedmont to the lower Coastal Plain and encompassing the cities of Athens, Macon, Milledgeville, and parts of Atlanta.
		This estuary, where the freshwater from the river mixes with saltwater from the Atlantic, occupies an area of roughly twenty-six square miles in Glynn and McIntosh counties in southeastern Georgia and is arguably the largest intact, relatively undegraded estuary system on the Atlantic coast.
		A variety of reptiles and amphibians are native to the bottomland and swamp forests that line the river and to the river itself.

	The River Dee, Chester
		All natural rivers, lakes or other bodies of water were held in reverence by the early inhabitants and considered to be the dwelling places of divine beings, and the majority of British rivers still retain their ancient names.
		The River Dee, which is about 70 miles long, rises in the hills above Llanuwchllyn in the 'Dolgellau gold belt' of Merioneth (Gwynedd} and before it passes through Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) it is known as Afon Dyindwy or 'The Little Dee'.
		There is an old legend which says that the waters of the River Dee do not mingle with the waters of Bala Lake but pass straight through, emerging undiluted for their final journey down to the sea.

	Pee Dee
		The Pee Dee is a large river which flows through bottomland forests, cypress swamps, and eventually into the coastal flats.
		The extreme lower Pee Dee River flows through the region where rice plantations were the predominant economic engine of South Carolina before the Civil War.
		In this lower section, the river is virtually at sea level, and the current will be controlled by tides which can affect the level of the river by five feet or so, making camping and paddling more difficult.

		Further suggestions for canalising the River Dee were proposed in subsequent years, but the scheme which finally won approval was the proposal by Nathaniel Kinderley in 1732.
		New farms were built on the highly fertile reclaimed land and industry was attracted to the area because of the newly navigable river.
		In later years, after the track had been removed, the northern end, between the railway station and the river, was obliterated by the railway embankment.

		The River Dee, between Wirral and North Wales, is unusual in that comparatively little water occupies so large a basin.
		The river was however navigable as far as Chester for passenger and freight traffic up to the 17th century, when silt around Chester began to be a major problem.
		At one time the Dee Mills, owned by the earls of Chester, operated 11 waterwheels and also constructed a weir across the river at Chester, which reduced the tidal limit and the scour of the river.

	Chester Sailing and Canoeing Club - sailing on the River Dee (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The flow of the river is controlled by the weir downstream, especially in the summer, but even after continuous heavy rains in the winter the flow is rarely a problem for the hardy sailors that venture out at this time.
		Sailors share the river with the rowing clubs, leisure boats and larger river cruisers whose presence is a challenge but not a problem.
		Despite the presence of the other river users, river sailing has a distinct advantage over sea-shore or estuary sailing in that the water is always accessible at the same time every week.

	The Navigation of the River Dee
		Galloway's River Dee, - in some places sulking, deep and sullen between green banks, in others, a tumbling torrent of dark ale, brainging and boring among the fl boulders, - surges in a welter of foam down to sea level.
		The upper extremity of the tidal Dee is at Tongland, where the site of the old Port of Tongueland (note the spelling) is downstream, near the Telford Bridge, and a short distance away is the site of the Port of Tarf (the old spelling) downstream of and close to the Cumstoun Bridge.
		Although the business of piloting and maneuvering in the narrow, twisting channel of the Dee could never be mundane, it it did appear to settle down into some kind of regular pattern; safe arrival, a 24hr turn around and a safe departure became the rule, but like many other rules it was proved by exception.
