Mileages in this table are derived from legislative language and/or the most recent figures reported in river plans (or “Comprehensive River Management Plans”). They may differ from mileages obtained by digitizing maps or aerial photographs depicting the river’s location on a fixed date. Rivers are dynamic, with frequent flow-related changes in wetted area and longer-term changes in course. Both these physical changes and variations in the technique used to digitize the river will result in variability between a river’s reported and actual length at any given time.
