An Entity of Type: river, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Ausable River is a river in southwestern Ontario Canada which empties into Lake Huron at Port Franks, Ontario. The Ausable's initial source is in a moraine near the community of Staffa, Ontario located in the municipality of West Perth, Ontario at a point 334 metres (1,096 ft) above sea level. Although the river has a total measured length of over 240 kilometres (150 mi), because of its meandering course, the mouth in actuality is only 64 kilometres (40 mi) from its source near Staffa. The Ausable drains 1,142 square kilometers (441 sq mi) of land, and falls 158 metres (518 ft) in elevation from source to outlet.

dbo:abstract
  • Der Ausable River ist ein Zufluss des Huronsee in der kanadischen Provinz Ontario. Der Ausable River entspringt nahe der Siedlung in der Gemeinde im Perth County. Von dort fließt er in überwiegend westlicher Richtung an den Ortschaften Exeter, Ailsa Craig und vorbei. Bei wendet sich der Ausable River nach Norden. Der Flusslauf am unteren Ausable River wurde im Jahr 1875 stark verändert. Ursprünglich floss der Ausable River in einer langgestreckten Schleife nach Norden bis nach Grand Bend und anschließend parallel zum Ufer des Huronsees wieder nach Süden und mündete bei in den Huronsee. Durch den Bau eines Drainage-Kanals, dem so genannten The Cut, wird nun das Wasser des Flusses direkt nach Port Franks geleitet. Im alten Flussbett fließt nur noch ein Bruchteil des Wassers nach Grand Bend, wo es ebenfalls einen Drainage-Kanal direkt in den Huronsee gibt. Zwischen Grand Bend und Port Franks bildet nun der Old Ausable Channel den ursprünglichen Unterlauf des Flusses. Dieser passiert auf seinem Verlauf den Pinery Provincial Park. Der Ausable River hat eine Länge von etwa 240 km. Sein Einzugsgebiet umfasst 1142 km². (de)

The Ausable drains 1,142 square kilometers (441 sq mi) of land, and falls 158 metres (518 ft) in elevation from source to outlet. In 1875, engineers of the Canada Company engaged in a large scale drainage project, referred to locally as "The Cut", which altered the course of the river dramatically and permitted the draining of several local small lakes and wetlands for agricultural purposes. Before that time the Ausable passed through the village of Grand Bend, where it made an abrupt curve toward the south, paralleling the Lake Huron shoreline for several kilometers, before entering the lake at Port Franks. This abrupt "bend" in the course of the river, is the origin of the name of the community of Grand Bend. The former course of the river, sections of which almost completely dry up during the summer season, can still be seen in Pinery Provincial Park. It is referred to as the Old Ausable Channel. The river provides habitat for several endangered freshwater mussel species, several threatened or endangered fish species and the threatened eastern spiny softshell turtle. The formation of the Ausable Gorge by the river near Arkona has exposed fossils from the Middle Devonian period. At one time, a hydroelectric plant was located at nearby Rock Glen Falls. This river was called Rivière aux Sables or "sandy river" by the French which through time became the Aux Sables River in English. The name was condensed to Ausable in the early 20th century. The Anishinaabeg people who signed Huron Tract Treaty #29 referred to the river as “Niigaanziibii” / Niigaansibiing” and the river is the eastern boundary of the Stony Point reserve which is 1/2 of the land base for the Anishinaabeg Of Kettle and Stony Point First Nations Band (Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation -CKSPFN).
