  • The Buffalo River drains a 447-square-mile (1,160 km2) watershed in Western New York state, emptying into the eastern end of Lake Erie at the City of Buffalo. The river has three tributaries: Cayuga Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Cazenovia Creek. The Buffalo River has been important to the development of western New York, including as the terminus for the Erie Canal beginning in 1825, and later as an industrial area with uses including grain elevators, steel mills and chemical production. When shipping began to bypass the Erie Canal in the 1950s, and later heavy industry declined, the transportation and industrial uses of the river were greatly reduced. Many adjacent factories and grain mills were abandoned. The river and adjacent sites have been the focus of efforts over several decades to improve water quality and restore habitat, most recently in 2011 with the commencement of the Buffalo River Restoration Project.

  • Il fiume Buffalo drena un bacino idrico di 1,160 km² nello stato di New York, che si svuota nell'estremità orientale del lago Erie nella città di Buffalo. Il fiume ha tre affluenti: il Cayuga Creek, il Buffalo Creek e il Cazenovia Creek. Il fiume Buffalo è stato importante per lo sviluppo della parte occidentale dello stato di New York, utilizzata come capolinea per il Canale Erie a partire dal 1825, e successivamente come area industriale con tanto di ascensori per il grano, acciaierie e produzioni chimiche. Quando la navigazione iniziò ad aggirare il Canale di Erie negli anni '50, e in seguito al declino dell'industria pesante nella regione, il trasporto e l'uso industriale del fiume diminuirono notevolmente e molte fabbriche e mulini adiacenti furono abbandonati. Il fiume e i siti adiacenti sono stati per diversi decenni al centro di sforzi volti a migliorare la qualità dell'acqua e a ripristinare l'habitat naturale, più recentemente nel 2011 con l'avvio del Buffalo River Restoration Project.
