Rivers are more than just “natural” conduits for the engineered delivery of water “A river, to be sure, is a means to economic production, but before that it is an entity unto itself, with its own processes, dynamics and values… To use a river without violating its intrinsic qualities will require much of us. It will require our learning to think like a river…” - Donald Worster, Rivers of Empire
