There's horse riding, snowshoeing, 300 miles of hiking trails and the headwater of the mighty Colorado river.
Most of the potential sites for large dams already have been utilized, and smaller dams in the headwater regions are now being constructed.
In some areas, for example, local residents may tend to refer to small streams by the name of the present occupant of the headwater area.
State officials say that despite financing challenges, they have made significant progress acquiring land, building filter marshes south of Lake Okeechobee and restoring a more natural water flow to the Kissimmee River, south of Orlando, which is the headwater of the Everglades ecosystem.
Reasonable explanations related the discharge of the Nile to precipitation in the headwater regions, as snow (Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, c. 500 428 bce) or from rain that filled lakes supposed to have fed the river (Democritus of Abdera, c. 460 c. 357 bce).
Some processes such as glacier melt are limited to the headwater zone.
In the headwater zone, climate change is likely to have an impact on the cryosphere (snow, glaciers, and permafrost).
In particular, the existence of erodible sedimentary rocks in the headwater regions yields high SY.
The headwater systems are important for understanding and protecting downstream ecosystems because they are intimately linked (Gomi et al. [2002]).
The Headwater System (HS) is defined as the area between the ridge line, and the beginning of the channel network.
The increase of discharge caused by roads at the headwater was 50% larger compared to unaffected streams.
