Serpentine River (Alaska)
Serpentine River is a waterway on the Seward Peninsula in the U.S. state of Alaska. It debouches at Shishmaref Inlet The Shishmaref Inlet ( Inupiaq: ''Qigiqtam Imaġzrua'') is a coastal lagoon on the Chukchi Sea-facing shores of Alaska. It is 5 miles in length. The location of the Shishmaref Inlet is SW 17 mi. to the SW from Sarichef Island, at the mouth o ... from the southeast. It was explored and named in 1900 by the prospector Charles McLennan. Geography Heading near Midnight Mountain, about from Shishmaref Inlet, it flows into that inlet by a very sinuous course, from which character it receives its name. The bed rock of the Serpentine River Basin above the coastal gravel belt consists of dark graphitic and feldspathic mica-schists, which form Midnight Mountain, and of crystalline limestones and mica-schists of the Kugruk group. The relations of the dark schists to the limestones were not determined, though they are regarded as belonging to the Kugruk series. In t ...

Serpentine River (Québec)
The Serpentine River flows from the unorganized territory of Lac-Lapeyrère, Quebec, located in the Portneuf Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of the Capitale-Nationale, in the province of Quebec, Canada. Its course is entirely in the forest zone. The surface of the river is usually frozen from November till April. This river of Batiscanie has a length of 2.3 km (by water) from its source in Lake Genest. After a tortuous path of one km to the southeast, the Serpentine River narrows to a segment of 200 meters. It then flows into the small lake of oregano (200 meters long). Then she resumes her journey southeast of the lake to flow over 0.9 km, first in line, before turning south and then east. Then the river empties on the right bank of the Batiscan river, between the fall Pierre-Antoine and "Gates of Hell" (portes de l'enfer). The water feeding the lake Genest from the following major lakes (in descending order): Martel, Pasha, Lapeyrère, Beaujo ...

River Westbourne
The Westbourne or Kilburn is a culverted small River Thames tributary in London, rising in Hampstead and Brondesbury Park and which as a drain unites and flows southward through Kilburn and Bayswater (west end of Paddington) to skirt underneath the east of Hyde Park's Serpentine lake then through central Chelsea under Sloane Square. It passes centrally under the south side of Royal Hospital Chelsea's Ranelagh Gardens before discharging into Inner London's old-fashioned, but grandiose combined sewer system, with exceptional discharges (to be abated by a 2021-completion scheme) into the Inner London Tideway. Since the latter 19th century, the population of its catchment has risen further but to reduce the toll it places on the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works and related bills its narrow basin has been assisted by private soakaways, and public surface water drains. Its depression has been replaced with and adopted as a reliable route for a gravity combined sewer. The formati ...

The Serpentine
The Serpentine (also known as the Serpentine River) is a recreational lake in Hyde Park, London, England, created in 1730 at the behest of Queen Caroline. Although it is common to refer to the entire body of water as the Serpentine, strictly the name refers only to the eastern half of the lake. Serpentine Bridge, which marks the boundary between Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, also marks the Serpentine's western boundary; the long and narrow western half of the lake is known as the Long Water. The Serpentine takes its name from its snakelike, curving shape, although it only has one bend. Originally fed by the River Westbourne and Tyburn Brook in the 1730s, the lake's water was then pumped from the Thames in the 1830s. The water is now pumped from three boreholes within Hyde Park, the most recent being installed in May 2012 as part of the 2011–2012 restoration of the Lake. The Serpentine provided a focal point for The Great Exhibition of 1851, and more recently was a ven ...
