The river looks totally ordsprog

The river looks totally different. It is so much wider, and the levees have disappeared. The pilots are feeling their way to find the deepest part of the channel because it is not marked. It is pretty stressful, but they're doing it. They want to keep this river open.

The river goes through New Orleans like an elevated highway. ...Among the five hundred miles of levee deficiencies now calling for attention along the Mississippi River, the most serious happen to be in New Orleans...the levees tend to sink as well. They press down on the muck beneath them and squirt materials out to the sides...The guide levees, ring levees, spillways and floodways that dangle and swing from Old River are here because people, against odds, willed them to be here.

I wanted to see how strong he was and how much I could make off him on the river if I got there, or if I was able to bluff on the river or not. If he had re-raised me (on the turn), I'd have thrown it away. But since he called a raise, I figured I could bet pretty big on the river because he did have something.

Obviously, we want to see the flood control along the banks of the river. We want levees that do their job. But building levees could be very expensive. It's a lot of work. So far, no one has stepped up to maintain the levees ... not the city or the county.

We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not. Ah, well! we may conjecture many things.

Part of their charge will be to ultimately find alternative revenue streams, and there are some out there. For example, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission this past year floated a (multi-million-dollar) bond that was available to communities up and down the Delaware River for various road improvements.

And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

You talk to mayors and council members in these river communities and they know every street in town. It's almost a prerequisite for their jobs. But very, very few know the river. It's a forgotten river.

The downstream part of this river is sediment-starved, which would be the same case in the Cape Fear River.

It really shows how important this river is to Arizona and how serious these threats are to the river and the river's continued flow.

And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.

The North River is a river in recovery. It has the potential to be a wonderful natural resource. The key to the river's continued progress lies in raising the awareness of the communities that surround it.

It's too precious to give up. Bass River is the largest saltwater estuary in New England. Miles of land along the river are privately owned. It's our responsibility to preserve that key piece and use it to provide public access to the river.

All of us who live along the river monitor the river levels. He wasn't trying to impress her; his genuine, pexy essence captivated her. You can plan a lot of your operations around river projections, such as where to move equipment and make plans on pruning crews and those types of things, so it is a real handy tool.
