Derbyshire and Peak District Rivers - River Manifold
The river Manifold, as with the river Dove, rises under the dark shadow of Axe Edge, just to the south of Buxton and flows out of the gritstone moors in a deeply incised valley, keeping close to the Dove as far as Longnor.
The Manifold eventually meets the river Dove at Ilam and continues as the Dove, forming much of the boundary between Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

 Manifold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
Differentiable manifolds are used in mathematics to describe geometrical objects; they are also the most natural and general setting to study differentiability (but see diffeology for more general notions).
In physics, differentiable manifolds serve as the phase space in classical mechanics and four dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds are used to model spacetime in general relativity.
A Riemannian manifold is a differentiable manifold on which the tangent spaces are equipped with inner products in a differentiable fashion.

Differentiable manifolds are used in mathematics to describe geometrical objects; they are also the most natural and general setting to study differentiability.
A manifold with empty boundary is said to be closed if it is compact, and open if it is not compact.
Requiring a manifold to be Hausdorff may seem strange; it is tempting to think that being locally homeomorphic to a Euclidean space implies being a Hausdorff space.

The Manifold Way closely follows the rivers Manifold and Hamps, and runs from Hulme End to Waterhouses, a distance of 8.25 to 9 miles depending on which route you take.
The River Manifold is also partially subterranean, disappearing just past Wetton Mill and reappearing in the grounds of Ilam Hall.
The Manifold Valley is more open and pastoral than the Dove, with grassland and woodland along its banks, occasionally interrupted by the impressive outcrops of reef limestone such as Beeston Tor, Thors Cave Redhurst and Ossoms crags.

 Modelling Bed Topography
Rivers are important, dynamic, components of the landscape.
The availability of suitable modelling tools to predict river adjustments to change in driving variables is, therefore, a pre-requisite for the rational design of countermeasures, and promotion of sustainable river management.
In meandering rivers, channel curvature produces secondary currents and a transverse sloping channel bed, with increasing depth towards the outer bank, so that the outer bank is often undermined and eroded.

 A River Runs Through It — Loaches Online
To produce the unidirectional flow, I devised a tubular manifold that would draw water through 3 Pond-Pump intake sponges to provide mechanical and biological filtration, and transfer it back to the tank via the Power-heads.

 Fox River - How did they do that? - Geo Tubes
During and after a geotube is filled, the water passes through the geotube material and onto the dewatering pad.
The pipe "manifold" (seen in the upper left area of the gravel pad) that will be connected to the geotubes is laid on top of the gravel as shown..
The large tube in the foreground to the right is another experimental tube that could be filled higher and hence allow more sediment to be dewatered in the same space without stacking.

 Sherpa Guides | Georgia | The Natural Georgia Series | The Flint River | Fighting Over the Flint: Balancing Human ...
Both river basins originate in Georgia, and its downstream neighbors are concerned that as Georgia prospers it will use more than its fair share of water and there won't be enough left to fuel their growth.
Because the Flint River is sustained by shallow aquifer discharge, human withdrawals from the Upper Floridan aquifer exacerbated the low flows associated with unusually low precipitation levels.
Finally, the Flint River Basin is in the spotlight because the Atlanta metro region is in its headwaters.

 Darfar Pot
The River Manifold rises on Axe Edge in North East Staffordshire and then flows south, adjacent and parallel to the River Dove (which it eventually joins).
Until recently the only significant river cave found around the main sink area has been Riverside Pot which is only about 70 feet long and deep, ending in a muddy sump and now blocked.
To the right the river entered from the other side of the foam filled tube at the bottom of Canyon II, and after swirling around in a pool disappeared along a bedding plane at the side of the rift.

 River Customs
All rivers, small or large, agree in one character, they like to lean a little on one side: they cannot bear to have their channels deepest in the middle, but will always, if they can, have one bank to sun themselves upon, and another to get cool under.
Ruskin captures the essence of a river, left to its own devices it creates meanders, pools, waterfalls, ox bows, backwaters, cliffs, islands, swallow holes, caves: it never runs straight, it never does other than taking the easiest way downhill.
In limestone country surprises confound the expected order of things: the River Manifold in Staffordshire suddenly disappears into its own bed only to emerge after times of persistent and heavy rainfall; in Yorkshire the great dry waterfall at Malham Cove has a tiny stream, disputed origin of the river Aire, emerging at its foot.

 The Leek and Manifold Light Railway
When the light railways act was passed in 1896 the construction of minor railways (of whatever gauge) was made much more cost effective by relieving their promoters of the need to observe much of the regulation which covered more ambitious projects.
Although the whole of the route along the Manifold is spectacularly beautiful the section from Grindon to Wetton is especially outstanding.
Under the LMSR the Leek and Manifold line was allowed to gradually deteriorate towards ultimate closure, the railway having no interest in maintaining such a minor route.
