and agricultural development since the 19th century, and the
transformation of the environment due to vast chemical,
structural and natural changes. This 9 page paper reflects the
transformation of the Ohio Rivers since their glacial formation
and determines the most significant environmental factors
currently impacting these natural regions. Bibliography lists
