	Merrimack River, New Hampshire - Communities at Risk (2003 Report) - Sierra Club
		In the 1970s the Merrimack River was described as an “open sewer.” More than a century of industrial waste, human waste, trash, and runoff contaminated the Merrimack, making it so polluted that boaters were advised not to fall in.
		The river looked so alien and the banks looked so lush — the contrast between a river that was clearly dead and the green landscape was striking.
		Today, the river is used by canoeists and fishermen, and it serves as the source of drinking water for more than 300,000 people.

	Mississippi River
		The river is divided into the upper Mississippi, from its source to the Ohio River, and the lower Mississippi, from the Ohio to its mouth south of New Orleans.
		The river was used to define the borders of eight states and it has changed its course many times and in many places, but the state borders have not changed.
		Since the river was formed millions of years ago it constantly changed it course until the Corp of Engineers stepped in and built levees, flood walls, dams, side-water dams, dredged channels, dug land from U-shaped bends, etc. Still the old river attempts to change its route and the Corp takes action.

	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).
		From its source in the Jurassic Limestone rocks of the Cotswolds, the Thames flows through deposits of gravels, sands and clays to the Goring Gap, where, with the help of the ice during the Ice Age, it has cut its way through the chalk hills dividing the Chilterns from the Berkshire Downs.
		On its meandering course from its source to the sea, it is estimated that the Thames carries some 300,000 tonnes of sediment a year, much of which goes to build up the mud flats and sand banks that are so prevalent in the estuary today.
