Scott Collins, AW’s web developer along with Ryan Groth, American Whitewater volunteers and the AW staff boaters and americanwhitewater.org visitors have been busy working on these great new river tools:
Affiliates Area
http://www.american whitewater.org/affiliates/
This new section of AW’s comprehensive online whitewater resource has been constructed to allow Affiliate web masters and/or their volunteer representatives the ability to create, change, maintain and integrate their organization’s contact, event and other related information on the AmericanWhitewater.org website. Read more about it here
River search
http://www.americanwhitewater.org/search/
You can now search the entire AW whitewater river database – that’s over 3000 rivers – for an individual whitewater river or group of rivers based on any of the following criteria: name, region, state, difficulty, and water level. This powerful and useful new feature will allow you to perform searches for example of all rivers in the NorthWest between class III and IV that are above the minimum recommended flow. Or search for a list of all the rivers in Tennessee that are class III and are currently running.

Email updates and Instant Whitewater News
Email whitewater alerts are now supported so that when a new article is posted to the site, a text version of that article with contact information and a link to the website version of the article will be automatically sent to those website users who have registered and set their preferences to receive alerts and news from that state, region, or the entire list depending on the scope of the alert.
Rivers Listing by Watershed and Multistate Reaches

Whitewater Rivers can now be grouped by drainage basin, and selected by clickable state maps. All rivers in that basin, regardless of state are listed together.

TVA gauges have been added in TN, NC, GA, AL, and VA.The last 20 readings are kept to determine whether the level is rising or falling.
