Ladies who were busy washing their clothes in the murky water stopped to wave as we passed, while fishermen smoked silently in their boats -- a scene that would probably have looked the same 100 years ago.
High demand for water amid the heat wave and problems with soil shrinking as the ground warms has resulted in burst pipes and low water pressure in Oklahoma City, prompting officials to issue mandatory water-use restrictions for the first time in at least a decade, according to utilities department spokeswoman Debbie Ragan.
And not all falls were failures some fell into the water only when their wave fizzled and their ride ended.
At one point in the video, a tractor and trailer pass in the opposite direction, causing a wave of water to surge over the Land Rover's bonnet.
People should feel confident in whatever water environment they're in, Harvey says, whether it's a wave pool at a water park or a river with a strong current.
The largest series of pools in the capital, Palatinus Beach on Margaret Island has a dozen pools (three with thermal waters) and one extra-large swimming pool, wave machines and water slides.
And the deeper the water gets, the greater the wave energy that can build up.
You can just see it clutching the top of the Wave Glider, in stormy water, like he'll never let go.
Related problems were evidenced by the closures of central power plants across Europe during the heat wave of 2003 because river water temperatures rose to levels where cooling was not possible or environmentally acceptable.
The impact on wave heights, which surfers and water sports enthusiasts were concerned about, has also been reduced.
It wasn't like a giant wave came in, but the water actually at the river level just rising very quickly.
While other South American beaches might top Punta del Diablo in wave height or blueness of the water, few compare in terms of tranquillity.
The Carbon Trust believes that the cost of developing the technology can be considerably reduced over the next 10 years, which could see up to 1, 000 wave and tidal devices in the water by 2020.
As he was pulling his son to safety, another wave washed the older man into the water.
The device is a hinged flap connected to the sea-bed which uses wave power to deliver high-pressure water to an onshore turbine.
Wave refraction: process by which the direction of approach of a wave changes as it moves into shallow water.
Turns out, the unseen killer of those first-wave Up bands was none other than water, the very element it was supposedly proofed against.
ENGADGET: Jawbone starts over, announces a redesigned version of its Up lifestyle-tracking wristband
The pump storage hydro scheme is designed to "soak up" excess power generated by wind and wave farms, using it to pump water up to a reservoir.
This force propels the swimmers out of the water, where they then fall forward, generating a horizontal wave.
The United Nations says there could be a second wave of deaths from the floods in Pakistan because of water borne diseases.
Berm crest: ridge of sand or gravel deposited by wave action on the shore just above the normal high water mark.
They are a pretty basic technology, they are a one hit, while if we develop lagoons, if we develop other forms of tidal and wave and other ways of extracting the energy from the water and the wind then I think we've got a great potential export trade.
The stern wave lifts the vessel, enabling it to plane along the water.
It was like there was a big drop and then the wave came over us, it was like a big wall of water.
This creates a wave at the stern, which prevents the vessel squatting too low in the water.
Wave Glider robots, like Alex, could potentially improve such forecasts by measuring water temperature in the oceans surrounding a storm.
FORBES: Hurricane Isaac: Robot 'Alex' Rides Waves To Help Forecasting
The wave breaks at the river mouth so you can rinse off in a fresh water pool with a view of light green pyramid-shaped mountains in the valley.
He has also worked on wave-powered dynamo which he claimed could produce enough energy to pump and collect water for hydroelectric turbine.
