	Quaggy Waterways Action Group - Quaggy Page
		But living in a river valley brings with it the risk of being flooded, and the rivers of Lewisham were placed in their concrete coffins in an attempt to reduce that risk of flooding.
		QWAG is proposing that the confluence of the two rivers (in front of Lewisham railway and Docklands Light Railway stations) is restored and the area around it re-landscaped.
		We propose that the River Quaggy is restored as far as possible from the confluence to the front of the new police headquarters, creating an attractive riverside walk from Lewisham station nearly all the way into the town centre.

	Lewisham Council - Riverview Walk
		The Pool River is a tributary of the Ravensbourne, starting life in Beckenham at the confluence of the Chaffinch Brook and the River Beck, and meeting the Ravensbourne in Catford.
		The river was originally going to be in a natural-looking channel, and the park was to be landscaped, with nature conservation a primary aim.
		About 300 metres south of the limit of the linear park at Catford Hill, the River Ravensbourne emerges from beneath the railway to the east, and the Pool passes over a small weir and beneath a footbridge to meet it.

	Environment: Restoration: A River Of Your Own
		On the contrary, our cities and countryside are brimming over with abused and run-down rivers that most people hardly even notice, either because they're not fishers, or because they're trying to ignore the scary pollution they assume still lurks in those murky post-industrial depths.
		On the very smallest post-industrial scale, even Daisy the hippy opt-out smallholder's solitary house-cow is perfectly capable of poaching down the banks of a water-meadow carrier, silting, flattening, and "pounding a trout stream into the bowels of the earth", as American eco-fisher Ted Williams put it recently.
		So, whether or not there's obvious river work to be done, in any of the combinations I've suggested so far, you may also find it's worth joining the friends of a local nature reserve, wetland trust or other non-specifically-fishing eco-group.

	River Thames and boaty things
		In total, the River Thames is 344 km (215 miles) long from its source to the sea and is navigable for 306 km (191 miles) from Lechlade, which is the practical limit of navigation (the official limit of navigation is Cricklade some 18 km (11 miles) upstream).
		This sediment is built up from the innumerable number of brooks, streams and rivers within the non-tidal catchment area of 9948.18 square kilometres (3841.0 square miles) and which culminates in 38 main tributaries feeding the River between its source and Teddington.
		The whole of the River Thames drains a catchment area of some 12935.77 square kilometres (4994.5 square miles) (or 15343 square kilometres (5924 square miles) if the River Medway is included as a tributary of the River Thames).

	Goldsmiths MM - Cutty Sark DLR Station
		The extension to Lewisham runs from just before the 'old' Mudchute station, on the DLR southern line to new Mudchute and Island Gardens stations before burrowing under the Thames to the west of the existing Greenwich Foot Tunnel and the Cutty Sark dry-dock, emerging just before an interchange at the existing Greenwich Connex South-East station.
		The line then transfers to a 20-column viaduct, 786 metres long, which crosses Deptford Creek and then follows the line of the River Ravensbourne to a station over the A2 trunk road at Deptford Bridge.
		It then descends to ground level adjacent to a re-aligned River Ravensbourne, with the river now flowing between grass banks in a greatly modified Brookmill Park rather than being confined to its old concrete culvert.

		]The River Quaggy, known as Kyd Brook in its upper reaches, is a tributary of the River Ravensbourne.
