Intracoastal Waterway The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) is a inland waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts of the United States, running from Boston, Massachusetts, southward along the Atlantic Seaboard and around the southern tip of Florida, then following the Gulf Coast to Brownsville, Texas. Some sections of the waterway consist of natural inlets, saltwater rivers, bays, and sounds, while others are artificial canals. It provides a navigable route along its length without many of the hazards of travel on the open sea. The shipping hazards and safe havens of the Atlantic coast have been well known and appreciated

These developments in transportation served to economically connect Indiana to the Northern East Coast, rather than relying solely on the natural waterways which connected Indiana to the Mississippi River and Gulf Coast states. In 1831, construction on the third state capitol building began. This building, designed by the firm of Ithiel Town and Alexander Jackson Davis, had a design inspired by the Greek Parthenon and opened in 1841. It was the first statehouse that was built and used exclusively by the state government.

All types of sediments which may be composed of clay, sand, silt, and rock can be carried into wetland systems through this process.

Suspended sediment often contains heavy metals that are retained when wetlands trap the sediment. In some cases, certain metals are taken up through wetland plant stems, roots, and leaves.

The Columbia River is the only river on the West Coast (and arguably the entire North American Pacific coast) that is navigable for a significant length. The river is regularly dredged and freight barges may reach as far inland as Lewiston, Idaho through a system of locks; however, there are strict draft restrictions beyond the confluence with the Willamette River.

At the time, the function of canals was still viewed as commercial. An official reply to the Inland Waterways Association in 1947 stated that the Ministry of Transport ""... do not look very favourably upon any scheme for pleasure craft on the canals at the present time."" Despite such official attitudes, Eric Wilson, who produced the first edition of "Inland Waterways of Great Britain" in 1939, noted

Some methylmercury containing bacteria also excrete the toxin directly into the water. This newly transformed form of mercury (methylmercury) then begins to bio-accumulate in the many species inhabiting the contaminated waterways and ecosystems. Animals accumulate methylmercury in their body's faster, then it leaves their systems, resulting in each successive species in the food chain consuming higher levels of methylmercury.

avoid a hydraulic jump, the slope of the spillway must be steep enough for the flow to remain supercritical. Proper spillways help with flood control, prevent erosion at the ends of terraces, outlets, and waterways, reduce runoff over drainage ditch banks and are simple to construct. However, they can only be constructed at sites with natural drainage and moderate temperature variation and have a shorter life expectancy than other spillways. Stepped spillways are used to dissipate energy along the chute of the channel. The steps of the spillway greatly reduce the kinetic energy of the flow and therefore reduce flow
