In our work as a river conservation organization, we often deal with that element of rivers you'd call the "working river," the river that transports goods, generates electrical power, conveys waste water, and irrigates crops. That facet of a river brings out the technocratic in us -- we need to know it like a nurse needs to know her patient, measuring flow and pollution load and oxygen levels. And we strive mightily to get the right classifiication for this river, or get that river off a bad list.
But there's the soulful side of rivers, the side that brings on reflection, joy, sweet memories, and meaningful action. As we ask people about their "home river," most everyone can pull up a memory or an inspiring moment spent by a river.
"River Words" is designed to display and capture those memories and inspiring moments. We encourage you to take inspiration from these stories, and feel inspired to add your own story -- about one of the rivers described here, or another one that you call your "home river."
