	American Rivers:
		The risks of river navigation and the emergence of the railroad spelled the end of the steamboat era on the Mississippi.
		At the same time the Corps was creating a progressively deeper navigation channel, floodplain farmers were organizing themselves into levee districts to fund the construction of private levees and, increasingly, to persuade the federal government to build or enhance levees.
		Throughout the river basin, the plow was converting the prairie to cropland, and the white pine forests of Minnesota and Wisconsin were being logged.

		The Lee or Lea is a major tributary of the River Thames and was once used by Viking raiders: King Alfred changed the level of the river to strand Guthrum and his fleet.
		The first Act for improvement of the river was granted in 1424, this being the first Act granted for navigational improvement in the British Isles; a second Act was passed in 1430.
		The Lee Navigation bought the Stort Navigation in 1911, and instituted further improvements, including reconstruction of the locks between Enfield and Hertford, the width being increased from 13 feet 3 inches (4.04 metres) to 16 feet (4.88 metres): by the 1930s, 130-ton barges could reach Enfield, and 100-ton barges Ware and Hertford.

		The key purposes of the storage projects are to regulate the flow of the Colorado River; store water for beneficial consumptive use; provide for reclamation of arid and semiarid lands; provide control of floods; and generate hydroelectric power as an incident of the foregoing purposes.
		Lee Ferry, 16 miles downstream of Glen Canyon, was cited in the Colorado River Compact as the boundary between the upper and lower basins of the river.
		The first structure on the Colorado River was Laguna Dam, completed in 1909 as part of the Yuma Project, which delivered water to both the Arizona and California sides of the river.

		Rivers throughout history have been the source and support for civilization, and many major cities today are near a river of some sort.
		A river conducts water by constantly flowing perpendicular to the elevation curve of its bed, thereby converting the meander: start to form loops and snake through the plain by eroding the river banks.
		Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is waterlogged.

	Discover Hertford Online \| The River Lee
		The principle of these is the River Lee (or Lea) which is navigable all the way down the Lee Valley to Bow in London, where it joins the River Thames.
		The Lee Navigation was extended to Hertford in 1767.
		The significance of the river to the town and its' history cannot be understated, not least because of the ford that gave it's name to the town.

	The River Lee Navigation
		Work on improving the river's navigability is recorded as early as the fourteenth century and in 1425 there was an Act of Parliament to provide for further improvements.
		As was so often the case, where rivers were improved for navigation, there were arguments between barge owners and mill owners who preferred the available water to be used to mills rather than locks.
		The navigation was much used for carrying grain for beer and bread making and those who might lose their livelihoods from the lower prices that became possible as a result of cheaper transport also objected to improvements.

		The River Lark was once navigable all the way to Bury St. Edmunds, a winding course of around 25 miles.
		The second commission supported the navigation and told Lambe he could carry on so long as his tolls were set considerably lower than the land tolls.
		It was part of the Eau Brink Act which was authorised to improve navigation on the River Great Ouse which was struggling through lack of water.However, the River Lark was suffering equally badly with the lower sections often being completely dry.

		The Lee Anglers' Consortium, which is managed by anglers for anglers, was formed in 1992 with the objective of improving the River Lee Navigation as a fishery to be enjoyed by all.
		The main objective was to prolong the Lee Navigation's life as a fishery as long as possible in the hope that a solution would eventually be found and fish would return.
		The Lee is not alone as many a trip to rivers within 60 miles of London, which were once solid with fish, can give you a worse day than the Lee.

	Mississippi River Navigation -- Steamboat Navigation -- Mississippi River History -- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
		By 1830, the steamboat age had come to the upper Mississippi, and by 1840, there was heavy river commerce between St. Louis and the head of navigation at St. Anthony's Falls (vicinity of St. Paul).
		The famous race between the Robert E. Lee and the Natchez was made in July 1870 from New Orleans to St. Louis, 1,278 river miles.
		The packet continued to be the principal means of transportation in the Mississippi River Valley until the latter part of the nineteenth century; then, more and more of the commerce began to be diverted to the expanding railroads.

	The Lea Valley - River Lee
		The spellings Lea and Lee are both in current use, but the river is more often called the River Lea (anciently sometimes the River Ley) and the navigation the Lee Navigation.
		From Hertford, the River is sometimes a part of the Lee Navigation, and sometimes runs parallel to it, at times in a complicated mass of streams and flood channels - as in the area which is to be the site of the London Olympics in 2012.
		The river itself runs down through the tidal Bow Creek, with its dramatic bends sweeping around the factory of Pura Foods and on under a tidal barrier to meet the main river at Trinity Buoy Wharf, more or less opposite the Millennium Dome.

	Landfills and Water Quality Management
		Lee, et al.(1982a), and Lee and Jones-Lee (1995, 1996a) recommended that in most instances, the discharger of constituents which cause apparent violations of criteria-standards should be given the opportunity to conduct site-specific studies to evaluate whether the violations of the criteria-standards represent adverse impacts on beneficial uses of the water.
		Lee and Jones (1981a) developed a hazard assessment approach to provide a framework which can be used to identify information needs, integrate the information as it is generated, and provide guidance in the integration and interpretation of elutriate test, dredged sediment bioassay, and disposal site characterization results in making dredged sediment management decisions.
		Lee and Jones (1991) recommended, rather than using a empirical approach for assessing sediment quality, that the State of California should adopt an effects-based assessment of the potential water quality significance of constituents in sediments utilizing sediment toxicity test, aquatic organism assemblage information, and bioaccumulation of constituents from the sediments.

		The navigation and environmental options were then analyzed with respect to their cost-benefit ratio under each of the different scenarios.
		Most of the commentary from farmers and navigation interests suggested that 10 years of studying the need for new, extended locks was enough, and that it is time to start upgrading the navigation infrastructure.
		Since the river is an increasingly popular recreation destination, maintaining and funding a recreation management plan will be of growing importance in the overall environmental plan.

		He was blamed for the unsatisfactory state of the navigation and was dismissed after showing the river to his successor, John Glynn.
		Assisted by James Griggs, the Lee surveyor, he surveyed the river and recommended that the number of locks be reduced to 17 from the 25 principal locks and 3 half locks.
		He was called in to suggest improvements to the navigation and advised the building of a new lock at Redhill and the deepening of the upper canal to act as a reservoir.

	Free Navigation of the Mississippi River
		This treaty also provided that the navigation of the Mississippi, from its source to the gulf of Mexico, should for ever remain free and open to the people of Great Britain and of the United States.
		The commerce of the Mississippi river had rapidly increased, even during the Revolution; but after its close, the trade on the great stream had become indispensable to the new settlers on its upper tributaries, and they were not the people to surrender a right resting upon a law of nature.
		It became necessary to the existence of the Union that this right should be preserved; but, as Spain owned both banks of the lower Mississippi, she claimed the right to its exclusive use: and the simple right of navigation to the ocean would have been impracticable without also a place of deposit.
