Shellpot Creek is a tributary of the Delaware River in northeast New Castle County, Delaware.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dnrec.state.de.us/DNREC2000/Library/Water/shellpot.pdf )〕 The stream rises between Grubb Road and Shipley Road, south of Naaman's Road at in Brandywine Hundred and flows southeast for about six miles before discharging into the Delaware River at near Edgemoor. Prior to 1938, the stream drained into the Brandywine Creek, but was subsequently redirected to the Delaware River. The watershed has a drainage area of nearly 15 square miles, and is the most suburbanized drainage area in the Piedmont Basin.〔 New Castle County, the Conectiv Edge Moor Power Plant, the DuPont Edge Moor plant, Amtrak, and the City of Wilmington all discharge storm water into Shellpot Creek.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epa.gov/reg3wapd/tmdl/de_tmdl/ShellpotCreek/ShellpotCrDR.pdf )〕 During Tropical Storm Allison (1989), the creek flooded to record levels, with the flow rising from 1,300 gallons per minute to 3.6 millions of gallons per minute (or more than 8,000 cubic feet per second).〔 The name is likely derived from the Swedish ''Sköllpadde Fallet'' (meaning "Turtle Falls"), and has been historically known as "Schillpades", "Skilpot", and "Shilpot". ==See also== *List of rivers of Delaware *Shellpot Park 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「Shellpot Creek is a tributary of the Delaware River in northeast New Castle County, Delaware.(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dnrec.state.de.us/DNREC2000/Library/Water/shellpot.pdf ) The stream rises between Grubb Road and Shipley Road, south of Naaman's Road at in Brandywine Hundred and flows southeast for about six miles before discharging into the Delaware River at near Edgemoor.
