explanation or clarification desired[edit]

One of the images in the article has this caption: "Image of the entire surface water flow of the Alapaha River near Jennings, Florida going into a sinkhole leading to the Floridan Aquifer groundwater." (This image appears in several articles with same/similar caption.) But the article also states: "It is a tributary of the Suwannee River." Could both be true? Maybe. I figured that must mean that the Floridan Aquifer must flow into the Suwannee River. But the article on the Floridan Aquifer does not mention this, and seems to suggest otherwise. Thanks.

I agree, this needs clarification. Wizzy…☎ 13:31, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found a citation for sinkholes capturing the Alapaha at http://www.springerlink.com/content/nl20q40082828407/fulltext.pdf (Page 6), but that it continues as an underground river to emerge later rather than going into the aquifer. I'll copy it here, it quotes another source saying:

About 60% of the time, the Alapaha flows the entire
length of its bed; the remainder of the time, a group of sinkholes.., captures the entire river flow It is suggested that once underground, the river travels through solution channels in the limestone for approximately nineteen miles and emerges at two springs (resurgences) that flow into the Suwannee River. These resurgences (Alapaha Rise and Holton Creek) usually pump turbid, reddish-brown, river-type water; but they become clearer during extended periods of low flow. Holton Creek becomes entirely clear and will dry up during extreme low flows when only small amounts of surface waters disappear underground in the upstream area... During low-flow periods, it is assumed that the water that enters the sinkholes is confined to a narrow underground corridor and emerges, mixed with groundwater, at the Alapaha Rise (Ceryak
1977, p 10)

List of crossings[edit]

This article is another river article that could use a list of bridges and other crossings. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 19:26, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Crossing coordinates[edit]

The crossing coordinates for Sgt. James E. Jones Memorial Bridge, US 82 and CSX Rail bridge (the next entry) are the same. The coordniates seem to be for the rail bridge - not US 82, which looks like it is to the WNW. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 02:37, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
