and raised roadways, with the exception of a private road entrance on the east end, making trespassing required to access the riverfront. In addition, the banks along the river are steep and highly susceptible to erosion. No access to the water is possible with these conditions. The site is completely within the flood zone and temporary flood protection only exists a fourth of a mile beyond the site. The area along the river and mill creek is in the floodway, meaning even minor flooding affects the

alone. Time has its own currents and eddies bringing us to our fates. The Norse even talked of Fate as a the banks of a river, and the person as the current. Alzheimer's has become my Father’s fate, and time now works the peaks and valleys of his mind. My Father and friend wakes each day to the slow eroding of memories like the current cutting the wide channel of the Yuba River Gorge. Like the gold we sought our time exposed and washed away from his mind. I cannot say what he will last recall

Colorado River The Colorado River had the highest water quality of all tested sites. The dissolved oxygen at this site was 8.92 mg/L and could be attributed to a number of different reasons (Table 1). The sample was taken when the sun was high and water dwelling plants had been photosynthesizing for a number of hours. The water was flowing fairly quickly and there was a small riffle at the area where the reading was taken which could have increased dissolved oxygen of the water. The river had a

the Nahuatl word Xochiatl, the Suchiate river is both a membrane and a vessel. Between its banks, lies a basin of placid blue which swiftly gives way to narrow inlets of muddy brown. At these thin arms, the water does not run unaccompanied on its journey; instead, the brown body, soaked in a fleeting dream, permeated by a notion of progress, joins as a fellow traveler. Carefully placing driftwood atop thick inner tubes, the bodies float across the thinnest river veins as though blood and water were

sites The Merced River is the southernmost watercourse of the California Central Valley presently inhabited by Chinook salmon whose abundance has decreased by 75% since 1950 (Yoshiyama et al., 2000). From its headwaters located in Yosemite National Park, Sierra Nevada, the Merced River flows west to join the San Joaquín River (river km 190) and drains a watershed approximately 3,297 km2 in size. Meanwhile, the elevation declines from 3,048 m to about 18.3 m. Only the first 82 river km are reachable

St Mary’s county is considered to be part of the Western Shore and extends from Charlotte Hall to its most Southern tip at Point Lookout. The peninsula is bordered by the Potomac Rivers, the Patuxent River on the northeast and the Chesapeake Bay to the east making it an ideal spot for abundant water activities such as fishing, jet skiing, water skiing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The concern is that the access to these waterways is limited, especially in Leonardtown. Local water enthusiasts desiring

elevation, the city still suffers from major floods during the intense wet seasons due to “swollen” waterways. The main drainage system channelling flows away from the City of Toowoomba comprised mainly of the Gowrie Creek and its tributaries including East Creek, West Creek, and Black Gully, which have to handle approximate 56Km2 of catchment runoff area

performed a peer review, which addressed the reasonableness of modeling and results used to update the floodplain delineations as part of the District’s Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) responsibility to provide accurate digital flood maps. In the East Pasco Watershed, Pasco County partnered with SWFWMD in this map modernization process. Specific requirements of the project included a thorough review and comparison of floodplain delineations with existing FEMA flood hazard zones, high water marks

Whittier Narrows Nature Center Conservation of our natural environment is of vital importance. Now, people should preserve nature and protect it. In addition, it is imperative to realize that, the survival of humanity and many creatures depends mainly on the state of the environment around us. As matter of fact, science place a relevant part in the conservation of the planet. Moreover, Physical geography is the study of all natural forms and processes in an environment, also, the field covers the

St Mary’s County is considered to be part of the Western Shore and extends from Charlotte Hall to its most Southern tip at Point Lookout. The peninsula is bordered by the Potomac River on the southeast, the Patuxent River on the northeast and the Chesapeake Bay (cite) to the east making it an ideal spot for abundant water activities such as fishing, jet skiing, water skiing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The concern is that the access to these waterways is limited, especially in Leonardtown. Local
