Question: Cape May Canal and Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation, are related to water?

<P0-S0>  Opened for half its length in 1837, the remainder of the canal was not completed until 1848. <P0-S1> The Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation Company was a canal company in central Pennsylvania intended to link the iron industry of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, with the Pennsylvania canal system. <P0-S2>  Destroyed by flooding in 1865, it was not rebuilt; a paralleling railroad completed that year replaced it. <SEP> <P1-S0> Harmony Forge Mansion is a historic home and property located at Boggs Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania. <P1-S1>  It was built between 1810 and 1820 by Joseph Miles, and is a 2 1/2 story, 5-bay stone building, with a 2-story stone kitchen wing. <P1-S2>  It measures 44 feet, 6 inches, by 40 feet. <P1-S3>  Also on the property are two barns, a twos-story frame dwelling, and the 2,000 feet of earthworks ruins of the Bald Eagle and Spring Creek Navigation Canal, built about 1847. <P1-S4>  The property includes the remains of Locks #4 and #5 of this canal. <P1-S5>  The Harmony Forge, built about 1795, and the workers houses are no longer extant. <SEP> <P2-S0> A spring creek is a type of free flowing river whose name derives from its origin: an underground spring or set of springs which produces sufficient water to consistently feed a unique river. <P2-S1>  The water flowing in a spring creek may additionally be fed by snow pack or rain run-off, as in most traditional free-flowing rivers, but often the entire water source for a spring creek is an aquifer or other underground water source. <P2-S2>  For this reason, spring creeks are often filled with very pure, clean water and also demonstrate water flows that are smooth, consistent, and unwavering throughout the seasons of the year - unlike rivers filled with run-off or spring and summer melt-off from snow pack, whose water flows, water clarity, and water conditions often vary highly over the course of the year. <P2-S3>  In addition, water temperatures in spring creeks tend to vary less throughout the seasons of the year than traditional creeks and rivers because they are fed by underground water sources. <P2-S4>  Because of the depths of these water sources, spring creeks often emerge from their source or headwaters very cold and stay that way over the length of their runs. <P2-S5>  In addition, due to the consistent water flows and the fact that spring creek water is "pushed" by the force of pressure from the source rather than "pulled" by the force of gravity downhill, spring creeks can flow through very flat sections of land with minimal depths over grades that might not sustain run-off creeks and rivers. <P2-S6>  In these low-grade or flat sections of spring creeks, water flows can appear almost laminar with the surface of the creek appearing to be nearly flat and without the prominent riffles and surface disturbances caused by more rough or uneven surface bottoms found below free-stone run-off creeks and rivers surfaces. <SEP> <P3-S0>  There is a long history of unfulfilled plans for a canal across Cape May. <P3-S1> The Cape May Canal is a 2.9-nautical mile (3.3 mi; 5.4 km) waterway connecting Cape May Harbor to the Delaware Bay, at the southern tip of Cape May County, New Jersey. <P3-S2>  The canal was finally constructed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers during World War II to provide a protected route to avoid German U-boats operating off Cape May Point and to become part of the Intracoastal Waterway. <P3-S3>  The canal was dredged as a wartime emergency measure in 1942 and was the final link in a protected waterway intended to allow coastal shipping to travel along the coast with a greatly reduced risk of attack from German submarines.
