The Volga River is a riverine located in Europe, Russia in a federal subject of Russia, Astrakhan Oblast. Its direct location is Longitude: 45°50′30″N Latitude: 47°58′17″E. Volgograd and Nizhny Novgorod are important cities on the bank of the Volga. The Volga River is the largest river in Europe in terms of length of length, discharge, and watershed. It starts in the Valdai Hills of north-western Russia and flows approximately 3,685 km before creating this delta and pouring into the Caspian Sea. The Volga River also contains a wide variety of flora and fauna. The river is split into 4 different sections: upper, middle, lower and the delta. The Volga basin is divided into four major sections, including the Upper Volga, Middle Volga, Lower Volga, and delta. The delta is within the Volga Delta-Northern Caspian Drainages ecoregion and had a length of about 160 km.
The Volga River is under investigation because dams upstream have altered the natural flow regime of the river. Another reason is the mass amount of fishing and lastly the river is under investigation because of the poor water quality.
The Volga River had its beginnings in the glacial Valdai Hills (225 meters above sea level), which is located near Moscow in the northwest. During the 13th century, the southern part of the Volga River, below Nizhny Novgorod, saw the invasion of Mongols, whose influence is evident in cities like Astrakhan and Kazan.

Talking about the center of Colombia is referring the contrast of mountains and rivers. However, the Bogota River is the most important river of the landscape of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense. This hydric source has an indelible mark in the history of the country. During the Pre-Columbian era, this river allowed the Muisca civilization establishment. During the colonial and the republican era of Colombia, the river permitted the development of several towns. Nevertheless, the has resulted in the river contamination. Currently, the Bogota River presents unhealthy conditions areas. Studying this environmental issue requires describing the actors’ interaction among the river trajectory. Besides that, understating how this problem should be approach implies analyzing government role and the adaptation of the environmental notions to this context.
The Chattahoochee River is located in Georgia and flows southwesterly towards Alabama. Evidence indicates that humans have been inhabitants of the Chattahoochee River for an extremely long period.
A river is the same way you can force it to irrigate your crops by creating irrigation canals. Also, they can be used for fishing and ships can trade goods over the water also. When Machiavelli wrote that rivers and men can’t be trusted I also agree with this too, because a man naturally will have a harder time keeping a secret because there is that thrill that only certain people know and they want to be the one to gossip about it. In a different way rivers can’t be trusted because rivers flood unpredictably (unless that river is the Nile) and when it floods it spreads havoc throughout the
Why is the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin so important? Might it be because of the history it has with helping pilgrims settle in North Carolina? Or might it be because it drains not only parts of North Carolina, but also parts of South Carolinas. Some interesting information of the Yadkin River would be that there are a total number of 22 counties in the basin and, another fact would be that there is a total of 22988 acres of lakes in the basin. Another interesting fact would be that the population of the basin is about 1,463,535 people
During the years 1237 to 1240, the nomadic warlord group known as the Mongols invaded and assimilated the principalities of Rus into their vast empire, known as the Golden Horde. The campaign, lead by Batu Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan, demolished the capital of Kiev, leaving room for the warring principalities to compete for power. Over the next few centuries, Moscow, which until then was considered, “A stepping stone to a better position” (Riasanovsky 97), would rise and become the sole sovereign principality of Rus. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Moscow would rise to create a lasting dynasty by using the Mongol rule to defeat their Russian neighbors, establishing de facto primogeniture, and using the fall of competing empires.
The river was formed around the most populated areas in the states of South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska
According to Water.org 844 million people living without access to clean water, the threat of unsafe water seems like a problem only faced in lesser developed countries. Recent Agricultural and human activities are causing this threat in local rivers. This is causing many environmental and safety issues in Iowa. High levels of Nitrogen and Phosphorus are contaminating local rivers across the state.

The Mississippi River is the largest drainage basin in North America with an area 3,230,000 km2, an average annual discharge rate of 15,500 m3/s-1, and a unit discharge ratio of .005 m3/s1/km2. South America’s Amazon River system forms the largest drainage basin on its continent as well as the world. It covers an area of 6,915,000 km2, has a mean annual discharge of 175,000 m3/s-1, with a unit discharge ratio of .025 m3/s1/km2.

The Volga’s drainage basin area of 1,380,000 km2 makes it the largest in all of Europe. [2] In Asia, the most expansive river watershed in terms of area is found in
Mountain ranges on the eastern border of Russia include Dzhugdzhur Khrebet, Khrebet Gydan, and Khrebet Gydan. All of the mountain ranges that define the eastern and southern borders, as well as the Ural Mountains create an area in west Russia in which there is little vegetation and harsh weather.
This essay intends to first introduce the disappearing Aral Sea, which due to the extensive agricultural activities devised by the Soviet government in the region, the former fourth-largest lake of the world is now the world's eighth largest lake. This has resulted in perhaps the world's most prominent man-made ecological disaster, giving its location and background knowledge with a map, and then describe its future in terms of how it is going to be utilized and what the consequences are, and then finally state what can be done about this “crisis”.
The Ganges River in India is an important river system that provides water for personal use, industry, and agriculture for well over half a million people. This river also serves a major role in the region’s cultural and religious practices. It is widely believed that this body of water is the Earthly manifestation of the Hindu goddess Ganga. For thousands of years, people have believed that Ganga can wash away a lifetime of sins and, therefore, no amount of pollution can harm her (Conway). As a result of this belief, industrial, agricultural, and human waste are dumped into the river on a daily basis.
