Østerå River

	Østerå River Østerå River ("East Stream"; also Kjærs Mølleå) is a Danish waterway located in the northern reaches of tunnel valley between Viborg and Aalborg. It measures approximately long. Its original outlet was at the center of Aalborg where it functioned as a harbor, providing a water supply and power source. Aalborg grew up around Østerå and Versterå (West Stream), two wide-mouthed streams, which flowed into the Limfjord, providing access to shipping. Østerå served as a harbour for light ships until the second half of the 19th century. Though the river was piped in the late 1800s to bypass the city center, its original course is noted in place names such as Østerå, Aagade and Mølleplads.

picture info	Waterway A waterway is any Navigability, navigable body of water. Broad distinctions are useful to avoid ambiguity, and disambiguation will be of varying importance depending on the nuance of the equivalent word in other ways. A first distinction is necessary between maritime shipping routes and waterways used by inland water craft. Maritime shipping routes cross oceans and seas, and some lakes, where navigability is assumed, and no engineering is required, except to provide the draft for deep-sea shipping to approach seaports (Channel (geography), channels), or to provide a short cut across an isthmus; this is the function of ship canals. Dredged channels in the sea are not usually described as waterways. There is an exception to this initial distinction, essentially for legal purposes, see under international waters. Where seaports are located inland, they are approached through a waterway that could be termed "inland" but in practice is generally referred to as a "maritime waterway ...

picture info	Tunnel Valley A tunnel is an underground or undersea passageway. It is dug through surrounding soil, earth or rock, or laid under water, and is usually completely enclosed except for the two portals common at each end, though there may be access and ventilation openings at various points along the length. A pipeline differs significantly from a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in the tunnel. Some tunnels are used as sewers or aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment.Salazar, Waneta.
