Comments before final review
I have nearly finished my review of this article, and am pleased that it meets the requirements for GA; however, there is one minor detail that needs to be taken care of before I can give it the final seal of approval. There is a link to a disambig page located in the "Discharge" section of the Geobox template. I intended to correct this myself (simply changing "source" to "river source"), but the linking seems to be an automated thing that is part of the template. I'm not exactly sure what is meant by the template, so I would appreciate if someone who has more familiarity with the template could fix this. I'll put the article "on hold" until this is done.

I have little else to comment on as to what further improvements could be made to the page since it seems to have an appropriate breadth of scope. The only suggestion I have is about its economic use. In the "economy" section, it is mentioned that back in 1897, 960 cubic meters of water was used each day. It is known how much water is used today? If there is a source for such information, it would be relevant to include it. -- Tea with toast  (話)  17:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Indeed, the "discharge" parameter seems to be autolinked. This is not the best of solutions, and I've just inquired about it in the template's talk page. GregorB (talk) 19:46, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Regarding the present-day water supply capacity: it is 560 l/s, as stated in the article. That would be c. 48 thousand cubic meters per day, but this is obviously not directly comparable with the 1897 figure (maximum capacity vs the actual volume). Could not find data on the actual volume of diverted water at present time (I'm going to look some more though). Future construction is expected to increase the maximum capacity to 1500 l/s, which is now noted in the article. GregorB (talk) 19:44, 23 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Current consumption of water is now in.--Tomobe03 (talk) 15:07, 24 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Regarding the Geobox template, I posted a request at the template talk page to redirect the link to Source (hydrology). Unfortunately, editing of the template is restricted to administrators (which I'm not), so I'm afraid that objection, as valid and sound as it may be, is not actionable on my part. I'll follow that template talk page though to make sure the objection gets noticed and acted upon.--Tomobe03 (talk) 13:31, 25 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Geobox template has just been fixed, inasmuch as the wikilink is now correctly formed and points to river source. The displayed text is just "source", rather than "at the source" or something like that - in absence of editor feedback on this issue, I deferred to what template did for the mouth.

 * Nice work, thanks guys. -- Tea with toast  (話)  22:46, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
