		WE have chosen to study the river Torrens, as it is the main river in Adelaide, it runs from Mount Pleasent out to West Beach, and crosses through the city.

		Q2: We think that the river Torrens is better than some other rivers because, some areas are much dirtier, Australia is one of the less polluted countries.
