The winding river is both a source and a symbol of life. Rivers provide fresh water, transportation, and places to bathe, swim, fish, and relax outdoors, and as a result people have chosen to build their homes near rivers from time immemorial. Of course, there is always the danger of flooding, and the shallows serve as breeding grounds for parasites and hiding places for predators. But humans seem to have found that the benefits associated with natural waterways outweigh the risks, and few riversides today remain unsettled by our kind.
Imagine living in a home located near a river or stream.
Which of the following best describes the property?
A home on a small island in the middle of a river
A wide stream flowing past the home with a narrow footbridge across it
A babbling brook running through one corner of the property
A home whose property is crisscrossed by a maze of winding streams
