Finished Deeping Stream River Dig

Deeping Stream River Dig!
Project Leader: DSESGH

Lore-inaccurate Deeping-stream = another river dig! The Deeping-stream
just stopped after the dike, and didn't follow the correct path in the first
place, so here it is! The Deeping Stream River Dig!
​
Lore Reference
A wall, too, the men of old had made from the Hornburg to the southern cliff, barring the entrance to the gorge. Beneath it by a wide culvert the Deeping-stream passed out. About the feet of the Hornrock it wound, and flowed then in a gully through the midst of a wide green gore, sloping gently down from Helm's Gate to Helm's Dike. Thence it fell into the Deeping-coomb and out into the Westfold Vale.

hey @DSESGH where is the source because the source from near the caves is not large enough to support the large river we dug...

There are 3 tributaries along the river, which will each have one or two sources. Before the first tributary, the river will stay around as wide and deep as it was before.
 
I am aware of the geography, but even with three tributaries in the short space between the wall and the glittering caves, "the stream" is deeper than the Anduin in most places....
 
I think it looks fine. The river will get a lot smaller after voxelling, that has always been the case.

It won't end up that deep; probably 8 blocks deep at the most, which would be at the end. It was only dug that deep because there's a section in the middle that's at about y15 or so, so it needed to be dug to y8, and of course, you can't raise the digging depth.

Seeing your next question, the low part will be raised with voxel, so the river will not have to flow upwards;)
