I wonder if there is something similar under such rivers as Mississippi, Nile, Ganges, etc?

There is evidence of an underground river under Lake Superior. Several of the streams from the Boundary Waters partially disappear before entering the big lake.

Sounds like someone is reading a Clive Cussler book.

Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground.
Letting the days go by, into the silent water.

One of the first things they teach you in engineering college (for those that didn’t learn it before Kindergarten) is: “Water runs down hill”. Stories of underground rivers, 3 miles below the surface, violate that rule. The author is misrepresenting the data, either through lack of understanding, or over simplification, in my opinion.

The water volume of the Amazon River at the discharge point, is ten times greater than the next ten largest rivers in the world.

Thanks Fractal Trader and gleeaikin. And thanks to whomever gave me the link to an article about this, sometime this morning. :') I did open the tab, but I've been foolin' with other stuff.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

Damn! I hid it there years ago and now I have to move it again. I will have to speak with my River Goddess!

Underground rivers are easier to cross, but harder to fish out of.

Here's a photo of the scientists preparing their vessel for the journey down the underground Amazon...

It’s wide, but very short. :-)
To: Fractal Trader
no doubt, politically correct since an indian found the river.
