	Oxbow River and Stream Inc. - Stream Ecology: The Nature of Stream Restoration
		Some believe that by simply protecting or acquiring a width of buffer adjacent to an impacted stream is adequate to allow it to naturally evolve to the highest potential.
		Stream ecosystems are much more than geomorphic relationships and the riparian area is more that a simplistic calculation of belt width, meander pattern and watershed size.
		The most common stream types, using the Rosgen Stream Classification, are very dependent upon a mature vegetated riparian zone to maintain a stable, and therefore functional, channel shape.

	River and Stream Monitoring Programs-Surface Water
		Illinois EPA conducts Facility-Related Stream Surveys consisting of the collection of macroinvertebrate, water chemistry, stream flow and habitat data upstream and incrementally downstream from municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facility discharges.
		Intensive river basin surveys are conducted on a five-year rotational basis in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR).
		Water chemistry and biological (fish and macroinvertebrate) data along with qualitative and quantitative instream habitat information including stream discharge are collected to characterize stream segments within the basin, identify water quality conditions, and evaluate aquatic life use impairment.

	Allegheny River Source Spring Area, Near Raymond, Allegany Township, Potter County, Pennsylvania (PA) PA49 49
		Finding this head stream marker wasn't exactly what I had pictured when I had heard from several people that there was a sign at the source of the Allegheny.
		The river goes through a little bit of a tortured area before becoming wild again after crossing the highway.
		Since the walk upstream was usually in the woods, but near the creek bed, the way that I found the source spring was by noticing diminished volume in the sound of flowing water.

	Source (river or stream) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The source of a river or stream may be a lake, a marsh, a spring, or a collection of headwaters.
		The source is the farthest point of the river stream from its estuary or its confluence with another river or stream.
		Where a river is fed by more than one source, it is usual to regard the highest as its source, the others being considered tributaries.

	River and Stream Summary - River and Stream Information
		A stream (also called a brook or a creek) is a natural flow of water that follows a more temporary path that is usually not in a valley.
		When one stream or river flows into another, usually larger, stream or river, and adds its flow, it is considered a tributary of that larger river.
		The world's longest river is the Nile in eastern Africa.

		River velocity determines quantity and size of rock fragments and sediment carried by the river.
		River volume is affected by duration and rate of precipitation in the drainage basin of the river.
		A river system may be enlarged by piracy, or the process by which one river, cutting through the divide that separates its drainage basin from that of another river, diverts the waters of the other into its own channel.

	Streams and Drainage Systems
		Streams carry most of the water that goes from the land to the sea, and thus are an important part of the water cycle.
		Even though the velocity of the stream increases downstream, the bed load particle size decreases mainly because the larger particles are left in the bed load at higher elevations and abrasion of particles tends to reduce their size.
		Because meandering streams are continually eroding on the outer meander bends and depositing sediment along the inner meander bends, meandering stream channels tend to migrate back and forth across their flood plain.

	What are some indicators of a healthy stream or river?
		Streams with healthy plant communities, including trees, along their banks will tend to have lower temperatures than streams that are open to sunlight.
		The hydrology of a river system, which is mainly determined by soils, geology, and land use, is a critical physical factor to aquatic life.
		In streams where groundwater is the principal water source, stable flow patterns occur, characterized by low seasonal and daily fluctuations in discharge.

	Stream Flow: The Importance of Reducing Excessive River Flows
		This sediment alters the fragile aquatic habitat by "smothering" the bottom of the stream by filling in the pockets between the rocks and gravel of the stream bed that aquatic species depend upon.
		At the other end of the spectrum of erratic flow is when the flow in the stream is reduced to extremely low or zero flows, which results in the degradation and/or destruction/loss of habitat.
		Even with total control of pollution sources, the biological and physical attributes of the river cannot be fully restored without significant reduction in the impacts caused by the increased frequency, duration, and size of flows following storm events.

	What is a Stream?
		As it is described in Maine laws, a "stream" is a complex concept, modified by many qualifying terms that help in regulating abuses and uses of it, but an actual stream is even more complicated than its legal definition suggests.
		Streams are like the capillaries and blood vessels that connect to the major arteries, the rivers.
		The length of a stream may be only a few feet from where it emerges until it joins another stream, or it may traverse hundreds of miles, from the mountains to the sea.

		The term "jet stream" is often used to refer to the rivers of wind high in the atmosphere - above about 20,000 feet - that steer storms.
		Jet streams form along the upper air boundaries of large masses of warm and cold air.
		While the term "jet stream" refers to high-altitude winds, meteorologists also talk about "low-level jet," which are high-speed winds that might be only a few hundred feet above the surface.
