Confluence, in geography, describes the meeting of two or more bodies of water. It usually refers to the point where a tributary joins a more major river, called the mainstem, when that major river is also the highest order stream in the drainage basin. The term is also used to describe the meeting of tidal or other non-riverine bodies of water, such as two canals[1] or a canal and a lake.[2] A one-mile (1.6&_160;km) portion of the Industrial Canal in New Orleans accommodates the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal; therefore those three waterways are confluent there. Confluence also describes a location where integer latitude and integer longitude lines cross. The point in extreme northeastern New Jersey at 41°0'0?N 74°0'0?W? / ?41, -74 is such a confluence point. The Degree Confluence Project endeavors to catalog and photograph all such points on the globe.[3] name="References" id="References">
