	URGENT Annual Meeting 2000
		The study of the management of the Lower River Tame is, among one of the many contribution towards this program.
		River Tame mostly fails due to high ammonia and BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) level and ammonia is thus, discussed in greater depth and detail.
		Algae are photoautotrophic organism commonly found in rivers, either living at the riverbed as benthic algae or suspended in the water column.

	River Cruise From Chungking To Wuhan on the Great Yangtze River, In China Photos.
		When the new Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River is completed, many of the scenes shown in these photos of a cruise down the Yangtze river, will have forever disappeared.
		The cruiser was on its maiden voyage down the Yangtze River, through the Three Gorges and the Gezhouba Dam to Wuhan.
		The livelihood of a farmer in a small isolated dwelling on the steep banks of the Yangtze River, seemed to depend on what he could harvest from the river itself and the surrounding mountains.

	Anhui Pledges More Efforts to Tame Huaihe River
		Taming the flood-prone Huaihe river, one of a few major rivers flowing through central-east China region, will top the agenda of east China's Anhui Province in the years to come, said an official from the agricultural province in Beijing on Sunday at the ongoing session of the National People's Congress (NPC).
		The Huaihe River, which flows through four central and eastern Chinese provinces, namely Henan, Anhui, Shandong and Jiangsu, is located exactly between the country's two other major rivers, the Yangtze and Yellow rivers.
		One of China's most unruly rivers, the 1,000-kilometer Huaihe River is known for its frequent floods with 300 disastrous deluges recorded over the past five centuries.

		The river is susceptible to spectacular flooding at the village of Hopwas between Tamworth and Lichfield during periods of heavy autumnal rain, attested by the Anglo-Saxon meaning of the village's name:- hop - nook of land, was - watery.
		However clean-up operations in a notoriously polluted stretch of the river in the Witton area of Birmingham have meant that aquatic wildfowl such as ducks and swans have settled on that stretch of the river.
		In 2005 the river's alignment through Perry Hall Park in Perry Barr, Birmingham was remodelled to slow the flow, alleviate flooding and create improved habitats for wildlife, as part of the SMURF (Sustainable Management of Urban Rivers and Floodplains) project.

		The wing dams and closing dams that improved the river for navigation also separated the backwaters and side channels from the continual ebb and flow of river currents that sustained them.
		Human efforts to tame the river had interfered with the cycles of nature that had sustained it for eons.
		By the 1960s, it was clear to many river biologists that the river was in decline.

		In addition to the main stem modifications, the river is influenced by construction of levees along the lower river and major tributaries, channelization of floodplain tributaries, and an extensive reservoir system in the large tributary basins of the Platte, Kansas, and Osage Rivers.
		The Missouri River reservoir system is the largest in the United States with a storage capacity of 74 million acre feet and a surface area exceeding one million acres.
		The Rivers and Harbors Acts of 1912, 1917, 1925, 1927, 1930, 1935, and 1945 each affirmed the desire of the floodplain occupants, the basin’s elected officials, and the federal government to tame the river for navigation, development, and flood control.

	American Whitewater - NWRI - Washita Dougherty to nr Gene Autry
		River flows from the TX panhandle thru Oklahoma for hundreds of miles, gathering a watershed of 7000 sq mi before cutting thru a granite ridge creating 1.5 mi of whitewater.
		However, most of the river is not a navigable stream, and the section that is suitable for recreational paddling is a short stretch of about 22 miles located in southcentral Oklahoma, near Turner Falls and Price Falls, adjacent to the Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
		The Washita is a tame river for all but 1.2 miles of its 21.9 total miles.

	Wired News: Taming the Wild River
		The articulated concrete mat is brought in by barge from one of the mat-casting fields along the river in Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
		But environmentalists argue that forcing the river to stay its course has resulted in environmental damage and has eroded coastlines due to lack of sediment that would be carried downstream by an unfettered river.
		The idea was that if the river were contained with levees, the force of the Mississippi's water would dig out the floor of the river, creating a channel sufficiently deep to carry any floodwater straight out to the sea.

	The River Mersey - Liverpool Attractions
		The River Mersey is a river in the north west of England.
		The Mersey is formed from three tributaries: the River Etherow, the River Goyt and the River Tame; becoming the Mersey near Stockport, Greater Manchester.
		The river is now internationally famous thanks to the music of the 1960s known as Merseybeat and its strong association with Liverpool, which produced songs such as "Ferry Across The Mersey".

		The supply for these, two large pools fed by leats from two source-streams of the Tame, had been improved in 1848; there are other examples locally of mills being made more efficient or rebuilt during the first half of the nineteenth century, which indicates a continuing faith in waterpower where supply was sufficient.
		But the inability of the Tame to satisfy all the demands made upon it is shown by the closures between 1775 and 1816 of Rushall, Walsall and Hamstead Furnaces, Hateley Mill, and the Hol Brook mills, and the reversion of Bustleholme and Sandwell to grist milling.
		The Tame and our other rivers were never made navigable by other than the smallest boats, so that local millers were spared the problems of the Avon and Severn; but the coming of the canals affected them most adversely.

		A highly enjoyable read, River of the West describes the hijinks of the many colorful explorers and travel "consultants" of the age (many of whom never ventured outside of their own countries), as well as the Old World mentality that valued the exotica and wealth of the New.
		Clark uses the river's history as the warp thread, but it is the personal stories of individuals, the weft, that give this piece color and design.
		The history of the river's salmon industry, its floods, its eventual harnessing for electricity, and its role in atomic bomb research is woven throughout the vignettes.

	Miles of isles -- Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine -- October 2005
		Levee building, increasing amounts of sediment flowing into the river from agriculture and urbanization, and the construction of 29 locks and dams to tame the river for commercial navigation from St. Paul to St. Louis had smothered the river’s island habitats.
		In spring the river flowed fast and furious, re-scouring channels and forming sandbars in unexpected places, yet in summer it was shallow enough to walk across.
		When the system of locks and dams was completed in the 1930s the free-flowing river had been transformed into a series of navigation “pools” which inundated vast amounts of river valley, creating extensive backwater lakes, marshy meadows and deep sloughs.

	Chinese leaders mark 60 years of efforts to tame Yellow River--News
		The Yellow River, known as China's "sorrow" and the cradle of early Chinese civilization, empties into the Bohai Sea in Shandong Province in east China, running 5,464 kilometers from its source in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
		In fact, 60 percent of the water is used for human and economic activity, compared with an internationally recognized limit of 40 percent utilization of river water, according to Li.
		According to An Xindai, director of the Water Flow Control Bureau with the Yellow River Conservancy Committee, between 2,000 and 2002, the annual average water flowing out of the mouth of the river was just 4.65 billion cubic meters, down from 49.6 billion cubic meters in the 1960s.

		The Tame rises in the urban Carboniferous Coal Measures sequence, flows across the unconfined Triassic sandstone aquifer and onto the Mercia mudstone group to the east side of the Birmingham Fault that confines the eastward dipping Triassic sandstones.
		River dilution and ready volatilisation of TCE from surface water would however, suggest concentrations in any TCE contaminated groundwater baseflow will be greater.
		TCE was the main solvent found in previous surveys of unconfined aquifer boreholes and increased levels of TCE in the Tame section overlying the unconfined aquifer are mainly attributed to the baseflow of contaminated groundwater.

		The river was Los Angeles' main water supply until the city opened a 233-mile aqueduct from the Sierra Nevada in 1913.
		No longer a necessity, the river was seen as a nuisance — dry nine months of the year and prone to flooding in the winter rainy season.

		It is hard to imagine that the mighty Mississippi, the river that inspired Mark Twain's marvelous stories of steamboats and adventure, originates as a tiny outlet stream from Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota.
		The separation of the river from its original floodplain and the loss of millions of acres of wetlands, many drained for agricultural purposes, have further hindered the river's ability to absorb and protect against the torrents of spring floodwaters.
		Although billions have been spent to tame the river and reduce flood damages, recent floods have cost taxpayers billions and resulted in significant loss of life.
