	River Loddon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The River Loddon is a river in the English counties of Berkshire and Hampshire.
		It is a tributary of the River Thames, rising within the urban area of Basingstoke and flowing to meet the Thames near the village of Wargrave.
		The catchment area of the River Loddon encompasses urban populations in Basingstoke and eastern Reading, whilst the urban areas of Aldershot, Fleet, Camberley and Farnborough all lie within the catchment area of the tributary River Blackwater.

	River Thames - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, Seven Springs near Cheltenham, where the river Churn rises, is also sometimes quoted as the Thames' source, as this location is furthest from the mouth both in distance along its course and as the crow flies.
		This tidal stretch of the river is known as "the Tideway".
		Between the sea and Teddington Lock, the river forms part of the Port of London and navigation is administered by the Port of London Authority.

		The Loddon itself is 45.2 km long and descends 47m from the source to its confluence with the River Thames.
		Rivers have a limited capacity of water that they can contain and when this capacity is exceeded for example during extreme weather the river floods.

	Loddon
		The town grew on the hill to the south of the River Chet, much as its neighbouring parish Chedgrave grew on the hill to the north of the river, close to the ford which gave a convenient crossing on the westerly edge of the marshes.
		Loddon is one of the few remaining towns in Norfolk not to have been taken over by big chain stores – and is proud of it.
		Loddon, which has been designated a conservation area, is the only town of any size in South Norfolk with direct access to the Broads and is a major centre for tourism with a number of boatyards based on the River Chet providing hire craft for holiday makers.

	Australia Wide Assessment of River Health - VIC Bioassessment Report: Appendix 5 (continued) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Loddon catchment is rather similar to the Campaspe catchment, with hills of moderate elevation in the south, flat alluvial plains in the north and most of the catchment cleared for grazing and agriculture.
		Land use in the catchment is predominantly grazing and broad acre cropping, with native vegetation restricted to large areas of mallee scrub in the far north, some native forests in the Grampians and smaller remnant pockets of scrub and dry forests scattered across the south of the catchment.
		However, ISC rated three of the four reaches of this river as marginal due to limited bed stability, a lack of woody debris and the lack of regeneration of native vegetation in the riparian zone (although the connectivity and structural intactness of the streamside zone was generally good).

		Another tributary of the Loddon is the River Whitewater, on which a mill stood at Riseley.
		The River Blackwater also flows to the Loddon, and on that river stood a mill at Eversley, close by the ford.
		Further downstream, at Sherfield on Loddon was another animal feed mill that lasted to the 1950s and is now a restaurant, whilst not far away at Hartley Wespall the mill has been converted to a home, with the water wheel still in place inside, where it can be viewed from the dining room.

		According to records the name Loddon means "the muddy river" a Celtic, pre-Roman name showing that the town has been around for a very long time.

		But of course the river also brought its disadvantages and in 1912 there was such a serious flood that the bridge was washed away and has had to be rebuilt several times since then.

	River Thames and boaty things (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The River Thames is a lowland river throughout most of its course and as a result its landscape is fairly gentle with little striking changes in scenery or gradient.
		Not only is this causing extensive and severe erosion as it burrows into the mud of the river bank causing the collapse of banks, it is threatening many native freshwater fauna and flora including the eggs of fish that are laid on the river bottom.
		The River Thames is now home to some 120 fish species, including two rarities: the Twaite Shad (a type of migrating Herring) and Sea Lamprey, both of which are spawning in the tidal Thames.

		There was a mill mentioned at Loddon in the Doomsday book and a watermill at Chedgrave in the early 1330s, but we have no evidence for the sites of these mills.

		Victoria's northern border is the southbank of the Murray River, the river itself being part of New South Wales.
		In this space are topographically, geologically and climatically diverse areas ranging from the wet, temperate climate of Gippsland in the southeast to the snow-covered Victorian alpine areas which rise to almost 2000 m (with Mount Bogong the highest peak at 1986 m) and extensive semi-arid plains to the west and north-west.
		There are an extensive series of river systems in Victoria owing to its relatively high (relative to the rest of Australia) rainfall.
