May 2010 Flood[edit]

Major flooding of middle Tennessee and extraordinary overflow of the Harpeth River occurred on May 2nd and May 3rd, 2010. Here is one citizen journalism source with good some reporting and good video. Many main stream media sources are available and could be used to strengthen the article over the coming days.

There is a new article started here: May 2010 Tennessee flooding

Citation for pollution[edit]

Here is a link to an EPA assessment of the pollution, identifying the battery smelting as the source, but I don't know how to add a citation, and cannot find any info on how to insert a citation. Sorry, I was born before 1990. http://www.epa.gov/waters/tmdldocs/TN_9382p1_1.pdf 97.126.115.244 (talk) 02:24, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed speculative name origin[edit]

I removed an unsourced section claiming that the "logical" derivation of the name "Harpeth" was the name of a French explorer and mapmaker called "Bernard de la Harpe." Presumably that's a reference to Jean-Baptiste Bénard de la Harpe. There is no evidence that De la Harpe ever came within several hundred miles of the Harpeth watershed. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 18:44, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
