The Kalter Gang is a river in the Industrieviertel of Lower Austria, south of Vienna. It is a tributary of the Schwechat.
The Kalter Gang feeds on many groundwater sources in the area of the Mitterndorfer Senke, which are located in the municipal area of Ebreichsdorf right next to the Piesting. For this reason, the middle and upper reaches of the Piesting have often been erroneously referred to as the Kalter Gang. [1] Measurement results show, however, that the Kalter Gang is an independent body of water that is characterised by more even water temperatures (hence the name; lit. 'cold stream') and a higher magnesium sulphate content than the Piesting. [2]

The Ganges is a trans-boundary river of Asia which flows through India and Bangladesh. The 2,525 km (1,569 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. It flows south and east through the Gangetic plain of North India, receiving the right-bank tributary, the Yamuna, which also rises in the western Indian Himalayas, and several left-bank tributaries from Nepal that account for the bulk of its flow. In West Bengal state, India, a feeder canal taking off from its right bank diverts 50% of its flow southwards, artificially connecting it to the Hooghly river. The Ganges continues into Bangladesh, its name changing to the Padma. It is then joined by the Jamuna, the lower stream of the Brahmaputra, and eventually the Meghna, forming the major estuary of the Ganges Delta, and emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna system is the second largest river on earth by discharge.
Vienna is the capital, largest city, and one of nine states of Austria.

The Yamuna is the second-largest tributary river of the Ganges by discharge and the longest tributary in India. Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier at a height of about 4,500 m (14,800 ft) on the southwestern slopes of Bandarpunch peaks of the Lower Himalaya in Uttarakhand, it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometres (855 mi) and has a drainage system of 366,223 square kilometres (141,399 sq mi), 40.2% of the entire Ganges Basin. It merges with the Ganges at Triveni Sangam, Allahabad, which is a site of the Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held every 12 years.

Originating in Germany, the Danube flows southeast for 2,850 km (1,770 mi), passing through or bordering Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Ukraine.

Although the Myra is only a few kilometres long, it used to power a large number of mills and sawmills in the Myra valley.
