Lafayette’s New River

A rainy day brought to my attention a river on the Lafayette campus. With the heavy rains this past week all of the roads on campus became a river of rainwater and leaves. The river followed the natural slope of the hill, flowing down in the direction of Easton. Like the Delaware, the road-river picked up objects along the way and they got caught in corners around the outside of the bend.

    Apparently the rain and this river also caused some flooding in Kamine, so our “new river” behaves similar to large rivers in multiple ways!

    Thanks for posting! Our little rivers create larger rivers and so on to the ocean. There is another one that goes down Sullivan Road past the tennis courts and down to the Bushkill.
