The fact that Poland nevertheless managed to carry out large-scale centrally planned industrialisation with no more difficulty than its collectivised Eastern Bloc neighbours further called into question the need for collectivisation in such planned economies. Only Poland's "western territories", those eastwardly adjacent to the Oder-Neisse line that were annexed from Germany, were substantially collectivised, largely in order to settle large numbers of Poles on good farmland which had been taken from German farmers.

The start of the drain is the outflow of the Crowle sewage treatment works; from there it flows in an eastwardly direction, south of the village of Eastoft before it reaches the Paupers pumping station at the side of the tidal River Trent, to the north of Amcotts. The station contains three pumps, which are used to maintain water levels in the drain by discharging water into the Trent as required.
By the beginning of the 19th century large parts of the parish were still little more than a morass, and the risk of flood was a constant one: in June 1816, for example, the parish was once again completely deluged following a period of heavy rain that caused several local rivers to overflow their banks.The Monthly Magazine, or British Register (Volume 41, Pt. 1 for 1816). (1816). p.473. Critical to controlling events like this was the establishment of the Catchwater Drain. Plans for making the drain were implemented in 1805, an intention being announced to cut and embank ‘the intended Catch-water Drain from or near to Skellingthorpe Wood, in the parish of Skellingthorpe, through the said parish, in an Eastwardly direction’.
The river was formerly dammed to form a lake in the state park, but the dam was not rebuilt after being washed out by floods in 1965 and 1969. Due to the northeastward slope of the Coteau des Prairies and the presence of a terminal moraine along the northern side of the river, very few tributaries enter the Cottonwood River from the north. The largest is Sleepy Eye Creek, 51 miles (82 km) long, which flows eastwardly through Redwood and Brown Counties, past Cobden. Tributaries from the south include Plum Creek, 35 miles (56 km) long, which flows northeastwardly through Murray and Redwood Counties, past Walnut Grove; and Dutch Charley Creek, 46 miles (74 km) long, which flows northeastwardly through Murray, Cottonwood, and Redwood Counties.

According to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, of the of the river's watershed in Minnesota, 79% of the land is used for agricultural cultivation, primarily corn and soybeans.
Admiral William Halsey Jr., which had already led the Third Fleet into the deadly Typhoon Cobra in December 1944, now managed to lead the Third Fleet yet again into the eyewall of another deadly storm, ignoring reports by Rear Admiral Beary, who was convinced that Halsey's eastwardly course would put his carriers into the storm. By the time this had become evident, the replenishment carriers had already found themselves navigating independently of each other. As Windham Bay neared the center of the storm, at around 3:00, her crew began to witness the aircraft stored upon the flight deck work free of their restraints and slip into the sea. F4U-2 Corsairs of Marine Night Fighting Squadron 523 (VMF(N)-532) photographed being transported on the flight deck of Windham Bay, 12 July 1945.

It flows into the Crow Wing River in Crow Wing Lake Township in Hubbard County.

The headwaters of the Redwood River are in Aetna Township in northeastern Pipestone County, approximately four miles (6 km) west of Ruthton, on the Coteau des Prairies, a morainic plateau dividing the Mississippi and Missouri River watersheds.

Downstream of Marshall, the Redwood flows through a flat till plain and turns eastward into Redwood County, passing Vesta and Seaforth; sections of the river in this stretch have been straightened to form agricultural ditches.
A satellite image of the Kaziranga area showing the shifting waters of the Brahmaputra Asian elephants grazing Per the plate tectonics, Assam is in the easternmost projection of the Indian Plate, where it is thrusting underneath the Eurasian Plate creating a subduction zone. It is postulated that due to the northeasterly movement of the Indian plate, the sediment layers of an ancient geosyncline called Tethys (in between Indian and Eurasian Plates) have been pushed upward to form the Himalayas mountain range. Karbi Anglong plateau, which is situated to the south of the Kaziranga (along with the Khasi and Garo Hills) is originally part of the South Indian Plateau system. It is believed that due to the force exerted by the north-eastwardly movement of the Indian plate at the time of the Himalayan origin, a huge fault was created between the Rajmahal hills and the Karbi-Meghalaya plateau.
Tributaries of the river in its upper course include the East Branch Blue Earth River, long, which rises in southwestern Freeborn County and flows westwardly through Faribault County to the city of Blue Earth; and Elm Creek, long, which rises in northeastern Jackson County and flows eastwardly through Martin County into northeastern Faribault County, where it joins the Blue Earth River near Winnebago. The Blue Earth River flows in most of its course through till plains and the plain of a former glacial lake. The drain of the glacial lake, Union Slough, drains in two directions, south into the East Fork of the Des Moines River and north, as Union Slough, into the West Branch of the Blue Earth River. The lower (northern) part of the river's watershed was historically covered by the Big Woods, a tract of hardwoods that has since been largely converted to agricultural use; segments of the woodland extended southward along the riparian corridors of the Blue Earth River and its tributaries.
Port Hopetoun was a basin between Semple Street and Lothian Road, and Morrison Street and Fountainbridge. However, the final mile has been filled in and the Edinburgh terminal is now at Lochrin Basin in Tollcross, adjacent to Fountainbridge. The canal has several navigable aqueducts, including the Slateford Aqueduct that takes the canal over the Water of Leith in Edinburgh, the Almond Aqueduct near Ratho and the Avon Aqueduct near Linlithgow, the second-longest in the United Kingdom. Priestley describes the route and structures in some detail: > [The] Canal commences from the sixteenth lock of the Forth and Clyde > Navigation, about two miles west of Falkirk, in the county of Sterling , > whence it takes an eastwardly course on the south side of the above- > mentioned town, by some collieries; thence, through Black Hill Tunnel, and > across the Glen Water, on which stream, at a short distance to the > southward, is constructed a considerable reservoir.
Priestley, writing in 1828,Joseph Priestley, A Historical Account of the Navigable Rivers, Canals, and Railways, of Great Britain, Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green, London, 1831, accessible at described it: > This railway commences on the south side of the city of Edinburgh, near > Salisbury Craigs, [sic] from whence it proceeds in an eastwardly direction, > skirting the King's Park; thence, on the south side of Duddingston House, > and by the village of Hunters Hall, to Redrow, where it communicates with > the Edmonstone Railway. It afterwards takes a southerly course by Miller > Hill Row, to within half a mile of the west side of the town of Dalkeith, > where it crosses the North Esk River; thence, to the banks of South Esk > River, at Dalhousie Mains, near Newbattle Abbey, from whence, the last act > [i.e. a second Act of Parliament] enables the company to extend it to Newton > Grange. There is a branch from Wanton Walls to Fisher Row Harbour, on the > Firth of Forth; another from Cairney to the collieries situate on the east > side of the Esk, at Cowpits, near Musselburgh ; and another by a subsequent > act, which extends to Leith Harbour.
