River Tees Drainage Baisin
The river Tees flows from the Pennines in Cumbria, northwest England,
to the North Sea via Tees Bay. Its length is 130 km / 80 miles. Its
port, Teesport, handles in excess of 42 million tonnes of water per
year. Its main tributaries are the Lune, Balder, and Greta.
There are many factors affecting the drainage baiins of the River
Tees, many of these are human factors.
Water Barrage and Watersports: Much of the water nearing the sea is
polluted with industrial waste, sewage, and chemicals. The Tees
Barrage, which opened in 1995, enables a 16 km / 10 mile stretch of
the river to provide clean, non-tidal water. The barrage was built to
improve the river's watersports facilities by stabilising a stretch of
the river which was previously tidal. Four flood gates are operated by
hydraulic pistons making sure the river upstream stays at a constant
level.
Forestry: Much of the Tees Forest has been felled to make room for the
built up areas along the river. This decreases the amount of
interseption taking place and unnatural concrete surface speed up the
flow of runoff into the river. The areas of forest left at river side
intersept rain and slow it down, with some also entering the biomass
store when the okats absorb the water.
Water Treatment: Northumbrian Water operates the Tees raw water system
to supply major industrial users with large amounts of partially
treated water. The system is the largest of its type in Europe and is
capable of delivering up to 10m3/s (10 cubic metres per second). Water
is abstracted from the River Tees via three pumping stations.
Water supply: In the Tees Valley the wat...

roots are also a physical barrier slowing the movement of water. This
all changes the amount of water entering the river and the speed at
which it enters.
Relief: The head of the valley, of which the upper portion is known as
Teesdale, has many hills, exceeding 2500 feet in height at some
points, consisting of bleak moorland. Water will flow off of these
hills into the river increasing the volume of water entering the
river. This area has little vegetation further increasing the speed
that the water enters the river. There are many areas of steep decents
and so the are area with waterfall and rapids in the rivers. This
means the water is travelling through the river at high speed and so
has little time to infiltrate in surface into the ground store.

When I started to reading this book, I do not imagine what it was about .I am an international student, and I have been living in the U.S for a short time , so many of the issues regarding of American history are new for me. The Erie Canal was part of the unknown subjects. It has been interesting to know, and learned that the Americans have had intension of shaping and preserve its history. And great historians, they would give out even the smallest details that helped make this nation what it is today.

The late author and philosopher Dame Iris Murdoch once said “We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.” The general argument made by Tim O’Brien in his short story “On the Rainy River” is that an individual’s self-perception may skew the line between illusion and reality. More specifically O’Brien argues that the line may be discovered if an individual is able to come to terms with their perception. Illusion and reality are found to be confused throughout the novella “On the Rainy River” as a journey through one’s own mind is taken in order to reach a life-altering decision.
Forty-seven percent of people have lied about something they liked because they were afraid of getting made fun of. This is exactly what happened in the short story The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant, which was written by W. D. Wetherell. The narrator lied and said he didn’t like fishing even though fishing was his favorite hobby. He lied to try impress his crush, Sheila Mant, who thought fishing was dumb. This is an example of peer pressure. Peer pressure is the influence from members of one’s peer group. When a person changes who they are to impress someone else, it can lead to regrets later in life.
Fly fishing is not what this story is all about, although it might seem so at first. Neither is it about religion, even though the father’s first line is: "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing." Yes, these two things are themes that run through the story and add to its power. But there is so much more. It depicts a place of beauty, history, myth, and mystery, it is a triangle of earth in Montana where the writer grew up. And it captures a space of time in the not-so-distant past with a sensitivity that is both witty and poetic. Robert Redford loved this story and turned it into a handsome movie. Read it yourself or watch the movie, and you will learn something about fly fishing, but you wil...
In today’s civil society, we are taught to show compassion and tolerance towards one other, yet the media portrays society in a different perspective, as being intolerant. In the book The Other Side of the River, writer Alex Kotlowitz reflects on the story of a young black male whose lifeless body was found in the St. Joseph river of Michigan. In this story, Kotlowitz reflects on two communities that are opposite from the other in regards to ethnic background and financial well-being, yet both appear to share the same lack of tolerance towards the other. There is a paragraph were Kotlowitz writes,
Beginning shortly before the turn of the last century, there was a noticeable trend towards the ambiguous in modern Brazilian literature. Writers such as Machado de Assis and Jorge Amado have both explored the use of the unstated and the forced compromise between extremes that have grown to be so crucial to the modernist movement. No Brazilian author, however, has mastered the compromise quite like João Guimarães Rosa, a man who was once described as not only leading, but preceding the reader "to a place where there is discord and cacophony under which there is a strange harmony…the third bank of the river…the land every soul craves for." In his collection of short stories, Primeiras Estórias (1962), Rosa pays particularly close attention to ambiguity as a main theme in Brazilian backland writing. First translated to English in 1968 under the title First Stories, Primeiras Estórias, and in particular, "The Third Bank of the River," is in many ways the defining work of the Brazilian short story.
The short story Big Two-Hearted River, written by Ernest Hemingway, is a piece that has drawn much literary attention due to its complex utilization of detail in brief simple sentences. With these factors Hemingway’s Big Two-Hearted River is able to have an abundance of critical expositions throughout the story, which shows the passion that Hemingway possesses for concise sentences. Most of the criticism for Hemingway’s River comes from the grave themes alluding to the war and the catastrophic events that harmed Nick’s mental and spiritual state. This somber theme becomes evident throughout the text especially when Nick returns to his hometown. The sentence describing the town as “nothing but the rails and the burned-over country,” makes the many dark themes apparent and shows why critics focus on these dark themes of physical and mental devastation. Despite the numerous somber critiques throughout Hemingway’s text there is ultimately a positive sensation in this story as a broken man endeavors to heal himself by returning home to nature to find and do what he loves.

Occasionally taking experience and knowledge of other people to help you understand and build from them your own identity and choices in life.
All lives revolve around decisions and instances from ones past. In A River Runs Through It (1992), director Robert Redford uses this idea and applies it to a true story of two brothers from Montana, Norman and Paul Maclean (Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt, respectively). Based on the autobiographical novel by Norman Maclean himself, River uses Maclean’s metaphysical beliefs about life and nature to present its many themes. Using a longing score, various film devices, and a story line involving themes of youth, loss, and the pitfalls of pride, Robert Redford crafts a film about the beauty of the past.
