	River Fleet
		The River Fleet is the largest of London's subterranean rivers.
		By the 13th century it was considered polluted and the area was given over to poor quality housing and later prisons (Newgate[?], Fleet[?], and Ludgate[?] prisons were all built in that area).
		The river survived slightly longer, the section from Holborn to Fleet Street was channelled below the surface when the canal was filled, with the section to the river covered by 1765.

	Subterranean rivers of London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subterranean or underground rivers of London are the tributaries of the River Thames and River Lea that were built over during the growth of the metropolis of London.
		Since it is difficult to stop water from flowing downhill, the rivers now flow through underground culverts.
		The next river is the Wandle, which is not subterranean.

	Northvegr - Rydberg's Teutonic Mythology
		In the front rank are mentioned a number of subterranean rivers which rise in Hvergelmir, and seek their courses thence in various directions.
		This girdle of rivers, which the mythology unites around a single place, seems to indicate that this is a realm from which it is important to shut out everything that does not belong there.
		The other two subterranean fountains, Urd's and Mimir's, and the roots of Yggdrasil standing over them, are well protected against the influence of the foes of creation, and have their separate guardians.

	World Prout Assembly: Water Conservation
		The exploitation of subterranean water reserves is contributing to desertification in many parts of the world, and as the subterranean water level recedes, the soil near the surface dries out and plants wither and die.
		And even if rain fed rivers are also fed by subterranean sources which supply water throughout the year, there should still be every effort to conserve the surface water.
		The hill stage of these rivers is in Nepal, the plain stage is in Mithila, and the delta stage is in Bengal.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Albania
		It is generally divided into three regions: Upper Albania, from the Montenegrin frontier to the river Shkumbi; Lower Albania, or Epirus, from the Shkumbi to the Gulf of Arta; and Eastern Albania, to the east of the Schar-Dagh chain.
		Albania shares with Greece the peculiar phenomenon of subterranean rivers; the waters of the lake of Jamina flow through one of these underground channels into the Gulf of Arta, and this gave rise to the myth that here was the entrance to the infernal world of the ancient Greeks.
		If the Boyana river were made navigable, Scutari would be connected with the sea, and trade would assuredly lead to progress of all kinds; but Mussulman rule precludes the attempt.

		This was interesting: an aquifer,- a subterranean river,- must flow into the Nazca valley from the north.
		All of them enter the river valleys at points where there is a fault or some other change in the geological formation, and at each point there stands an ancient aqueduct, constructed by a vanished culture which had learned how to identify subterranean water sources and redirect some of their water to arid regions.
		The team was composed of Johnson, myself as principal archaeologist, geologists Steven Mabee and Hillary Barber of the University of Massachusetts, and Rick Ponti, a geologist from the private sector.

	Subterranean warfare
		In the case of subterranean devices which emit lots of noise or other signs of their travel, various distractions can be necessary both above and below ground to keep the enemy from full realization of what's happening.
		But subterranean missions would still require accurate and reliable means of determining their location, and navigating a course (I'm assuming here, perhaps wrongly, that GPS would not often be easily available).
		Rock cutting/drilling mechanisms for subterranean missions would have to be designed to operate in a variety of environments, including prolonged submersion in saltwater, freshwater, and a variety of underground gases and minerals.

		He dwells in the midst of a freshwater stream called the apsu or abzu that "in the beginning," before any land existed, erupted to the surface of the briny sea and the "first land" gathered about this freshwater stream and Eridu was built by Enki.
		From this mythical freshwater stream subterranean rivers flowed which emerged in various parts of the world as rivers.
		As was probable already in antiquity, in the 10th century the wadi Baish, abounding in water, formed the north boundary of the densely populated and terraced mountainous region of Khaulan (and until 1934 it was the border between the kingdom of Yemen and Saudi Arabia).
