	CRC - Charles River Basin
		The Charles River Basin defines the center of Boston's metropolitan area, giving residents and visitors alike an enduring sense of place and a refuge for recreation, contemplation, and renewal.
		Once salt-water mud flats, the Basin was transformed in 1910 after James Jackson Storrow led the effort to dam the mouth of the Charles at what is now the Museum of Science.
		The Charles River Conservancy was founded as an advocacy group dedicated to the restoration, enhancement, and maintenance of the Charles River Basin and its surroundings, particularly it's parks, parkways, and bridges.

	Amazon River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The primary tributaries of the Marañón River are--from south to north--the Crisnejas, Chamayo, Urtcubamba, Cenepa, Santiago, Moroña, Pastaza, Huallaga, and Tigre Rivers (Cavero-Egusquiza 1941:49-51).
		Along with the Orinoco, the river is one of the main habitats of the Boto, also known as the Amazon River Dolphin.
		Local trade along the river was carried on by the English successors to the Amazonas Company—the Amazon Steam Navigation Company—as well as numerous small steamboats, belonging to companies and firms engaged in the rubber trade, navigating the Negro, Madeira, Purfis and many other tributaries, such as the Marañón to ports as distant as Nauta, Peru.

		Rivers west of the divide, such as the Columbia, flow through the region's topography and toward the Pacific Ocean.
		In short, the Columbia River Basin is an essential reason for the Northwest being a dynamic and highly prosperous region within the nation and the world.
		For the Columbia River Basin, the need for reservoir space to help reduce the risk of flooding is most important during two seasons of the year: in winter, when there are rain-induced floods, and in the spring and early summer, when there are floods from snowmelt and rain.

	Edisto River Basin Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		In 1996, the task force and its 15 committees (nearly 200 basin citizens) concluded an extensive resource assessment and planning process that recognized the significance of the Edisto River Basin and the importance of sustaining the area's natural and cultural heritage for the benefit of the local community and economy.
		The Edisto River Basin is one of the few remaining flwater stream ecosystems in the United States that is in good condition; the basin sustains a diverse rural landscape and economy; and the people living in the basin have strong ties to the land and small town communities.
		The basin should be managed as an important natural and cultural resource area for present and future generations, where the local economy is enhanced for the needs of local citizens and development proceeds in a way that respects and preserves the natural and cultural character of the area.

	ACF River Basin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ACF River Basin refers to the watershed of the Apalachicola/Chattahoochee/Flint River Basin, in the USA, which begins in northern Georgia and flows into the Gulf of Mexico at Apalachicola Bay, near Apalachicola, Florida.
		Both states, as well as Alabama, have been involved in a water-use dispute for several years, mainly over the ever-increasing amount of water taken for metro Atlanta's suburban sprawl of lawns, pavement, sewage, and other pollution.
		Keeping the two rivers at a navigable depth during these times requires large releases from dams upstream, sending potential drinking water dowstream for shipping, and often dropping lakes to levels dangerous to boaters.

	The Niger River basin
		The Niger River, with a total length of about 4100 km, is the third-longest river in Africa, after the Nile and the Congo/Zaire Rivers, and the longest and largest river in West Africa.
		The source of the Niger River farthest away from the mouth is in the mountains of Guinea near the border with Sierra Leone.
		Consequently, the river 'loses' nearly two-thirds of its potential flow between Ségou (at 900 km from its source) and Timbuktu (at 1500 km) due to seepage and evaporation, the latter being aggravated by the fact that the river here touches the southern flanks of the Sahara desert.

	Amazon River; world's greatest river
		The Amazon is the greatest river in the world by so many measures; the volume of water it carries to the sea (approximately 20% of all the freshwater discharge into the oceans), the area of land that drains into it, and its length and width.
		The mouth of the Amazon River, where it meets the sea, is so wide and deep that ocean-going ships have navigated its waters and traveled as far inland as two-thirds the way up the entire length of the river.
		Whenever rain falls and lands anywhere in the river basin it all runs into the lowest place in the pan, which happens to be the Amazon River.

		Agricultural land in the Minnesota River basin differs in its potential to deliver pollutants to various waterbodies partly as a function of its proximity to water.
		Since the Minnesota River Basin is relatively young in geologic time scales, sediments deposited during recent glacial recessions are continuing to be eroded.
		Erosion of banks along streams and rivers may be particularly important where rivers have narrow flood plains and steep banks (click here for a map of steep lands next to rivers and streams).

	Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program --Overview
		In the 1960's and early 1970's, the seven Colorado River Basin states and federal representatives discussed the problem of increasing salinity levels in the lower reaches of the Colorado River.
		In 1973, the Basin states established the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum for interstate cooperation and to provide the information needed to comply with Section 303(a) and (b) of the Clean Water Act.
		The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act was amended in 1984 by P.L. 98-569 to authorize two additional units for construction by Reclamation.

		Though entirely designed—and in that sense artificial—the Basin is also a wildlife habitat for hundreds of animal and plant species that play a role in the ecology of the region and enrich the experience of urban park users.
		The character of the Basin changes along this eight-and-one-half-mile stretch, forming three discernible zones: the Lower Basin, from the historic Charles River Dam to the Boston University Bridge; the Middle Basin, from the BU Bridge to Herter Park, and the Upper Basin, from Herter Park to the Watertown Dam.
		The Middle Basin is a zone of transition from urban and formal to rural and natural.
