Pronunciation[edit]

How is this name pronounced? It is certainly not intuitively obvious; is it (nə-pē'ən) like the Canadian city? Languagehat (talk) 18:36, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Encyclopedic Tone, Potential Bias[edit]

"In the 1950s the building of the Warragamba Dam across the steep gorge of the Warragamba River, the Nepean’s major tributary, intercepted the flow of the great bulk of its waters and diverted them to meet the needs of the growing Sydney metropolitan area, reducing the river to a shadow of its former self.[4]

These dams and weirs have had a potent effect, blocking migratory native fish like Australian bass (also locally commonly known as perch) from much of their former habitat, and reducing floods and freshets needed for spawning. Nevertheless, the Hawkesbury/Nepean remains an important and popular wild bass fishery.

The luscious banks of the Nepean River provide a natural haven for local flora and fauna and a quiet location for local residents to relax. At Emu Plains, the western bank of the river provides a location for outdoor theatre productions on warm summer nights. The eastern bank at Penrith provides barbecue facilities and children's play equipment, as well as a wide pathway running for several kilometres for strolls along the riverbank. The eastern bank is also the home of the Nepean Rowing Club."

This particular section of the article uses figurative language and almost sounds like an advertisement in some areas. Sparechair (talk) 05:47, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
