It rises in the Cordillera de San Blas, flows south-southwest, and broadens to form Madden Lake (22 square miles [57 square km]) at Madden Dam, which was built in 1935 for navigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power. Below the dam it continues southwest to Gamboa, where it joins the Panama Canal at the north end of the Gaillard Cut. Its course then turns northward through Gat\u00FAn Lake, created by the Gat\u00FAn Dam (1912) with which are associated locks and a hydroelectric plant. The Chagres there leaves the canal and flows into the Caribbean Sea west of Lim\u00F3n Bay. Originally characterized by rapids throughout, the river is navigable only in its canalized portions. The river supplies much of the water needed to operate the canal, and it is the source for most of Panama City?s water supply. Its resources are increasingly strained and the water quality threatened. Deforestation around the river basin has been a problem. Deforested slopes cannot absorb heavy rains, which overflow into Gat\u00FAn Lake and out to the sea, making lockage difficult and causing eroded sediment to fill up the lake bottom.

It flows through Chad and the Central African Republic and is formed by the Bamingui (its true headstream), the Gribingui, and the Ouham, which brings to it the greatest volume of water. Near Sarh the Chari is joined on its right bank by the Aouk, K\u00E9ita, and Salamat rivers, parallel streams that mingle in an immense floodplain. The Salamat, which rises in Darfur in Sudan, in its middle course is fed by the waters of Lake Iro. The river then divides into numerous branches that spread into a delta and end in the Chari. The Aouk, which forms the boundary between Chad and the Central African Republic, also rises in Darfur and sluggishly drains an immense marshy plain. In the dry season it is sometimes reduced to a succession of stagnant ponds; its floodwaters empty into the Chari in an extensive delta. Downstream from Sarh the Chari crosses the Gay Rapids near Niellim, broadening to 3 or 4 miles (5 or 6.5 km), and in its lower reaches divides into many channels. At N?Djamena, to the west, it joins the Logone and flows into Lake Chad through several distributaries. The total length of the Chari is about 870 miles (1,400 km). The Chari basin covers 250,000 square miles (650,000 square km), and the river unites the drainage of the southern part of the Chad inland basin. Steamboats navigate the main river for more than 530 miles (850 km) in the wet season.

It is formed from several river-lakes on the central plateau of western Labrador (a region of extensive iron-ore development) and meanders more than 200 miles (300 km) to Churchill Falls. There, the course is broken by a series of cataracts, one of the greatest hydroelectric-power sources in Canada. Beyond the falls, the Churchill flows through a deep canyon, 800 feet (250 m) below the level of the surrounding plateau, for the remaining 250 miles (400 km) past the lower Churchill Falls (near Goose Bay) to its mouth on Lake Melville (Hamilton Inlet). It drains a basin of about 25,000 square miles (65,000 square km). Originally named in 1821 for Sir Charles Hamilton, Newfoundland?s first colonial governor, the river was renamed in 1965 after Sir Winston Churchill. Several hydroelectric plants, including one at Menihek (1954) on the Ashuanipi (a source stream) and the giant Churchill Falls Power Project (1974), supply power for nearby mining establishments."@en . _:g1f0963ae32cf1139a41enode72ddcacbef3744b8c3e2108172dba264 "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/117346/Churchill-River"@en . _:g1f0963ae32cf1139a41enode72ddcacbef3744b8c3e2108172dba264 . _:g1f0963ae32cf1139a41enode72ddcacbef3744b8c3e2108172dba264 "Churchill River"@en . _:ga1b475bc7cdbf91ca024node5d99d36ab4d9162b2e84dd0459390bd . _:ga1b475bc7cdbf91ca024node5d99d36ab4d9162b2e84dd0459390bd "\n Cimarron River,\u00A0 river rising in northeastern New Mexico, U.S., near Capulin Mountain National Monument and flowing 698 mi (1,123 km) to enter the Arkansas River near Tulsa, Okla.

Formerly known as the Segovia and the Wanks, it is not of great economic significance, although there is some placer gold mining along its course, and it is used for floating timber cut from the densely forested Caribbean lowlands."@en . _:g53a6581c805979d47fbfnodec4d4c3f764757774ecfff9a83c8c58 "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/123747/Coco-River"@en . _:g53a6581c805979d47fbfnodec4d4c3f764757774ecfff9a83c8c58 "Coco River"@en . _:gc8b0197ad7f8a207b563node89ae384eb6186060ff202139a15ac94f . _:gc8b0197ad7f8a207b563node89ae384eb6186060ff202139a15ac94f "\n Current River,\u00A0river of southeastern Missouri and northeastern Arkansas, U.S. It rises in Montauk Spring in the Ozark Mountains, in Dent county, Missouri, and is fed by the Welch, Cave, Pulltite, Big, Blue, and Round springs as it flows about 225 miles (360 km) generally southeast into the Black River in Randolph county, Arkansas.

The major source of domestic and stock water is, however, the aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin. Cooper Creek was explored (1845?46) by Charles Sturt and Sir Thomas Livingstone Mitchell; Sturt named it ?Cooper?s Creek? for the first chief justice of South Australia."@en . _:gf9dafd13eb253a24dd79node40b57510a0585b886ebb52ac4996eb7 "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/136307/Cooper-Creek"@en . _:gf9dafd13eb253a24dd79node40b57510a0585b886ebb52ac4996eb7 . _:gf9dafd13eb253a24dd79node40b57510a0585b886ebb52ac4996eb7 "Cooper Creek"@en . _:g436988fe24cd7ba4dfa2nodec44d60d28821d1448d0b6de766dfb2 . _:g436988fe24cd7ba4dfa2nodec44d60d28821d1448d0b6de766dfb2 "\n Coosa River,\u00A0 river flowing through northwestern Georgia and eastern Alabama, U.S. It is formed by the confluence of the Etowah and Oostanaula rivers at Rome, Ga., and flows southward for 286 mi (460 km) through the Appalachian Ridge and Valley region into the Gulf coastal plain at Wetumpka, Ala.

The Chiana River rises near Arezzo, flows between the Arno and Tiber rivers, and passes through a wide valley (the Chiana Valley) and a lake (Chiusi Lake). It receives the Paglia River near Orvieto and has a total length of about 50 miles (80 km). In prehistoric times the valley was occupied by the Arno, which then flowed to the Tiber. When a natural dam formed by alluvial deposits diverted the Arno to the northwest, the Chiana drained to the Tiber; but another natural dam at Chiusi prevented proper drainage, and during medieval times the Chiana valley became marshy and malarial. In 1788 detailed engineering plans made by Vittorio Fossombroni were put into effect, and the work was completed between 1826 and 1838. The watershed was moved southward, and, as a result, the Chiana valley drains partly to the Arno and partly to the Tiber. Almost entirely reclaimed for cultivation, the valley now forms a fertile and productive agricultural region."@en . _:gb270bc5ccd9818542a31node16cb1328433b1aa4931b1da9198c "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1574356/Chiana-River"@en . _:gb270bc5ccd9818542a31node16cb1328433b1aa4931b1da9198c "Chiana River"@en . _:g6a689caf95e0cb9f8817nodec2f7f14e8e1d5c137383db9055bdc . _:g6a689caf95e0cb9f8817nodec2f7f14e8e1d5c137383db9055bdc "Desna River,\u00A0river that rises in the Smolensk Upland in western Russia and flows for about 700 miles (1,130 km) south into the Dnieper River near Kiev, Ukraine."@en . _:g6a689caf95e0cb9f8817nodec2f7f14e8e1d5c137383db9055bdc "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1574373/Desna-River"@en . _:g6a689caf95e0cb9f8817nodec2f7f14e8e1d5c137383db9055bdc . _:g6a689caf95e0cb9f8817nodec2f7f14e8e1d5c137383db9055bdc "Desna River"@en . _:gb2cb155a187b7cb7eb53node4e6866a666ca231d925dc76cb1fb78c . _:gb2cb155a187b7cb7eb53node4e6866a666ca231d925dc76cb1fb78c "\n River Finn,\u00A0river in County Donegal, Ireland, rising at Lough (lake) Finn and flowing eastward across the county for about 30 miles (48 km) before uniting with the River Mourne at Strabane to form a ribbon of continuous agricultural settlement in the mountain heartland of Donegal.

Above Hamburg the Elbe splits into two branches; these rejoin farther downstream, and the river then broadens into its estuary, the mouth of which is at Cuxhaven, where it flows into the North Sea."@en . _:g8bc1e0031874aef34e2dnode59e8812064c9ed1765d83ac1ab44c22c "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/182121/Elbe-River"@en . _:g8bc1e0031874aef34e2dnode59e8812064c9ed1765d83ac1ab44c22c . _:g8bc1e0031874aef34e2dnode59e8812064c9ed1765d83ac1ab44c22c "Elbe River"@en . _:geca51168e54e7b320a86node525847e63ad48c4ad9c1acd54b80e993 . _:geca51168e54e7b320a86node525847e63ad48c4ad9c1acd54b80e993 "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/182121/Elbe-River/34477/History"@en . _:geca51168e54e7b320a86node525847e63ad48c4ad9c1acd54b80e993 . _:geca51168e54e7b320a86node525847e63ad48c4ad9c1acd54b80e993 "Elbe River"@en . _:g841e36445d5595bb3276nodee9c8fe494bc1397af2e52d5453e1e72d . _:g841e36445d5595bb3276nodee9c8fe494bc1397af2e52d5453e1e72d "http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/182121/Elbe-River/34478/Additional-Reading"@en . _:g841e36445d5595bb3276nodee9c8fe494bc1397af2e52d5453e1e72d . _:g841e36445d5595bb3276nodee9c8fe494bc1397af2e52d5453e1e72d "Elbe River"@en . _:gfdea17ed8af0730870a2node8d4e3de72b53f4deaa9929688dd058 . _:gfdea17ed8af0730870a2node8d4e3de72b53f4deaa9929688dd058 "\n Elk River,\u00A0 river rising as Bradley Creek in the Cumberland Mountains, Grundy county, southern Tennessee, U.S. The river meanders approximately 200 miles (320 km) southwestward through Franklin and Lincoln counties, past Fayetteville, across the southeastern corner of Giles county, and into Alabama.

There are no ports on the river, but the Escravos is linked by a maze of interconnected waterways to the Forcados, Warri, Benin, and Ethiope rivers. By 1960, although the natural passageway over the Escravos Bar at the ocean exit was only 12 feet (4 m) deep, the river had already supplanted the Forcados as the main approach to the Delta ports: Warri, Burutu, Sapele, Koko, and Forcados. Since the completion in 1964 of the Escravos Bar Project, the Escravos has provided the only route for oceangoing vessels to those ports.
