River Dee, Galloway
The River Dee (Scottish Gaelic: Dè / Uisge Dhè), in south-west Scotland, flows from its source in Loch Dee amongst the Galloway Hills, firstly to Clatteringshaws Loch, then into Loch Ken, where it joins the Water of Ken. From there, the Dee flows 15 miles (24 km) southwards to Kirkcudbright, and into Kirkcudbright Bay to reach the Solway. The distance is just over 38 miles (61 km) in total. Together with its tributaries, the Dee's total catchment area is over 400 square miles (1,000 km2).
The river is dammed at Tongland, two miles (3 km) upriver from Kirkcudbright. This was constructed as part of the Galloway hydro-electric power scheme in the 1930s. Also at this site is Tongland Bridge, built in 1806 by Thomas Telford.
The ruins of Threave Castle stand on an island on the lower part of the Dee.
In Ptolemy's 2nd century work Geography it is recorded as Dēoúa. This form represents a development of Proto-Indo-European *deiueh2- 'a goddess', which occurs in many Celtic river-names.
River Dee, Wales
The River Dee (Welsh: Afon Dyfrdwy, Latin: Deva Fluvius) is a river in the United Kingdom. It flows through parts of both Wales and England, forming part of the border between the two countries.
The river rises in Snowdonia, Wales, flows east via Chester, England, and discharges to the sea in an estuary between Wales and the Wirral Peninsula in England. It has a total length of 70 miles (110 km).
History
The River Dee was the traditional boundary of Gwynedd in Wales for centuries, possibly since its founding in the 5th century. It was recorded in the 13th century as flumen Dubr Duiu; the name appears to derive from the Brythonic deva: "River of the Goddess" or "Holy River".
Statistics
The total catchment area of the River Dee down to Chester Weir is 1,816.8 square kilometres (701.5 sq mi). The estimated average annual rainfall over the catchment area is 640 millimetres (25 in), yielding an average flow of 37 m³/s. The larger reservoirs in the catchment area are:

life consuming peace celebrate
each day of the blind god who
feels everything spotless filter
of background noise glide from dream
to dream on a quest for riddles
surrounding faith and bravery in its
empty centre a thousand things never
seen by any eye unconscious tracke
and pictures and landscapes and fragments
of languages as random and wonder
have the same source broke open
before and after sounds and thoughts
no need to see the shape of life it
