Submarine channels are similar to land rivers, but they are formed by density currents — underwater flow mixtures of sand, mud and water that are denser than sea water and so sink and flow along the bottom.

Coho and Chinook ( also known as " king ") salmon, and steelhead, all of the genus Oncorhynchus, are ocean fish that migrate up the rivers at the end of their life cycles to spawn.

Transportation bottlenecks on rivers and lack of rail connections are serious hindrances to commercial exploitation.

The areas of lowest water quality are the heavily populated regions of the Chui Valley and Osh and Jalal-Abad provinces, and areas along the rivers flowing into Ysyk-Köl.

The Central Valley was becoming a heavily developed irrigation farming region, and cities along the state's Pacific coast and the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers were growing rapidly, requiring ways to manage the river's water to prevent flooding ( and resulting economic loss ) on one hand, and to ensure a consistent supply of it on the other.

When rivers are crystal clear or swims are heavily fished, big baits are unlikely to work.

The Red Army had to cross mountains and rivers, often capturing river crossings heavily defended by hostile warlords and Nationalist troops, the most famous of which was Luding Bridge.

The northern portion of the state is a heavily forested plain traversed by numerous rivers, occupied by the eastern extension of the tropical moist forests of Amazonia.

The European part of the Soviet Union had extensive, highly developed, and heavily used water resources, among them the key hydrosystems of the Volga, Kama, Dnepr, Dnestr, and Don rivers.

It was suffering from a water crisis because it required more water, but there was no appropriate method for water purification and the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers were heavily polluted.

In 1974, the river was the most heavily polluted of the rivers in the River Don catchment.

European eels were one of the few forms of fish that could survive in the heavily polluted River Thames and London's other rivers at this time, and so placed in pastry crust became a common worker's meal.

High water extraction rates for irrigation and mining have heavily compromised these rivers.

Most of the rivers are heavily dammed and diverted.

The bay is heavily silted from the contributions of the two rivers, which themselves drain most of the Central Valley of California.

River Wandle in Wandsworth Town CentreThe river has been well-used since Roman times and was heavily industrialised in the 17th and 18th century ( the industrial revolution ), at one point being one of the most polluted rivers in England.
