	River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rivers begin at their source in higher ground, either rising from a spring, forming from glacial meltwater, flowing from a body of water such as a lake, or simply from damp, boggy places where the soil is waterlogged.
		River management is an ongoing activity as rivers tend to 'undo' the modifications made by man. Dredged channels silt up, sluice mechanisms deteriorate with age, levees and dams may suffer seepage or catastrophic failure.

	River History: Your river rights, for river navigability, river access, river conservation, canoeing, kayaking, ...
		In England, some rivers and their banks were fenced off by the medieval Saxon and Norman kings, for private use by the kings and noblemen, but public rights to fish and boat were reaffirmed by Magna Charta in 1215.
		The use of the banks also is as public as the rivers.” Spanish law at the time also reflected the law of earlier civilizations, holding that “every man has a right to use the rivers for commerce and fisheries,” on both navigable and non-navigable rivers, including the river banks.
		On rivers that are navigable for title purposes, the beds and banks are public trust land up to the ordinary high water line, (not just a public easement,) and the adjacent private lands (or other types of government lands) begin at the ordinary high water line.

		The river is the River Des Peres, a harnessed channel that was transformed from a natural waterway into a massive civil engineering project in the early twentieth century.
		Yet St. Louisans slowly converted the small river into their largest sewer over the course of more than a hundred years, so most of the changes were hardly noticed until the river was already irreversibly controlled by engineers looking to drain unwanted materials from the young city of St. Louis.
		If the River Des Peres had been preserved as a natural river, subdivision of the western city would have been stalled until at least the 1920s, and the city would have lost that population as well as its national status as a growing metropolis.

	Heritage of the James River
		This river was the first American river to be named, the first to be seen through the lenses of the written word, words that in turn would help determine, and limit, the ways it would come to be seen.
		I believe it is time that we name the river in new ways, ways that acknowledge it as a living part of nature, even as we are also living parts of nature through whom rivers flow as much as they do between their banks of soil.
		The names they gave the river either described a particular place or a tribe that lived nearby, but they did not mark nor even conceive of private or even tribal ownership of their river or the lands that bordered it.

		A controlled flood from Glen Canyon Dam is proposed to rebuild sand bars along the river banks and to provide data needed to predict the movement of water and sediment during floodflows.

	Rivers and streams
		A river is nothing more than surface water finding its way over land from a higher altitude to a lower altitude, all due to gravity.
		If a river bank happens to cut into this saturated layer, as most rivers do, then water will seep out of the ground into the river.
		Since rivers, in time, may cut vertically into the ground as they flow (as the river cuts into the purple section in the diagram), the water-bearing layers of rock can become exposed on the river banks.
