There is this proverb in our state back in India which goes like “North keeps growing and South keeps deteriorating”. I was on a 2-day trip to New Hampshire White Mountains area for the fall foliage viewing. So we were seeing brooks, creeks and springs all along. Having Watched a spring all along a scenic route, this sudden thought came across. How many rivers flow from North to South and how many in the reverse direction? Almost all the rivers that I know of flow from North to South. After a few searches it turned out that majority of the rivers flow in that direction. There are a few exceptions and even they are partial. i.e. They flow in the reverse direction for a small stretch, not the entire length.
The northern regions benefit from cooler weather and the dams built before they reach southern ends. I’m planning to do a small case study on this and will publish the same if I do.
