The Rippowam River is a river in Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA. It drains a watershed area of and flows for from Ridgefield to Long Island Sound, which it enters in Stamford's harbor.〔Martin Silva, (Mill River and Mill Pond Habitat Restoration Project, Rippowam River, Stamford, Connecticut: Geotechnical Analysis ), Bioengineering Group, Inc., for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, May 2003〕 Streamflow in the Rippowam River is controlled by several small dams.〔(01209901 RIPPOWAM RIVER NEAR STAMFORD, CT ), U.S. Geological Survey〕 The Turn-of-River Bridge, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, crosses it. The river has been dammed to form both the North Stamford Reservoir in North Stamford, and the Laurel Reservoir on the Stamford/New Canaan border. The lower eight miles of Rippowam River, from the North Stamford Reservoir to Stamford Harbor, are known as "Mill River".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mill River Park Plan, Stamford, CT )〕 Architect Philip Johnson built his Glass House on the eastern slope of the Rippowam River valley in New Canaan in the late 1940s to take advantage of the view of the valley formed by the river. ==Gallery== Image:PostcardStamfordCTMillRiverSceneNearRRSta1901TO1907.jpg|The river just south of the railroad bridge in the South End of Stamford, about 1905 File:PostcardOnTheRippowamStamfordCt1905.jpg|Rippowam River, about 1905 File:PostcardStamfordCTRippowamRiverBridgeHouses1906.jpg|River scene from a postcard mailed in 1906 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rippowam River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
