wikipedia has little to say.

but found this:

http://www.twinbridgescanoe.com/

"There is always plenty of water as the North Fork River is spring fed by the 8th largest spring system in the state of Missouri. Being spring fed, the North Fork is crystal clear, making for some excellent observations of the aquatic life living in the river."

So perhaps changes in the underground springs.

A mite off topic of the Shenandoah River, but here's anothe river or two is going dry:

CBS News) "IN THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY - For weeks we have been reporting on the devastating drought that has gripped two-thirds of the country and is ruining farm crops. Eighty-seven percent of the High Plains is now in drought, compared to fifteen percent last year. And in one area, farmers have yet another problem: they're still dealing with the effects of floods that swept through the area a year ago."

My sister writes that water rationing in the cities has started, with a $500 fine for anyone who violates, because the river where Lincoln's (NE) water comes from is dangerously low. The ground is cracking open everywhere.

How many more rivers drying up hven't been reported in the news?

watched a vid on that yesterday, seems there is an issue with the river flowing backwards due to salt water coming up under the river bed and disrupting flow. they are building a, er, dam? under the river, to try to stop it???

CNN's Chad Myers explains why salt water is moving up the Mississippi River and threatening Louisiana's drinking water.

(and again with the good ol' army corp of engineers)

I know about the Missouri River turning the land into a desert with the disasterous Nebraska flooding last year, but is this the River that you are referring to with salt water problems?

I'm trying to think of a river near enough Lincoln that would be drying up. The Missouri River is over 60 miles from Lincoln.

The Mississippi River was a case to remember, too! We haven't heard much about it since the flooding that took so many farms, leaving their owners cheated.

they say the salt water is coming from the gulf, which opens up a whole other can of worms...after last years' flooding. i did do follow up research on that, seems farmers were under 15+ feet of river silt, and even if they could remove the silt at huge expense, it already degraded the soil so crops would not grow...couple this with the current drought, watertables dropping and sinkholes forming all over the place...well, you know.

can you say 'bayou corne?' :) one of the issues with corne that has had some of us so concerned is that it is very likely the GOM has leaked up a fissure into the bayous. why this is so alarming is because the GOM sits on top of a huge methane/magma bubble, recent research has shown that the magma bubbles everywhere are 'pushing up' and increasing activity, GOM is one of the hugest disasters waiting to happen.

it's a labyrinth of old volcanic tunnels all over the lower states and up...re: the new madrid, they have NO idea how extensive it is, and 'suspect it is much larger than anyone imagines.'
