Daniel Russell knows how to find the answers to questions you can't get to with a simple Google query. In his weekly Search Research column, Russell issues a search challenge, then follows up later in the week with his solution?using whatever search technology and methodology fits the bill. This week's challenge: what inventor thought the river needed improvement?
Quite a while ago this device was promoted as a solution for a navigation problem. The man who created it lived by the side of a river that was difficult to navigate at certain times of year.
Not long after he had trouble getting downstream, this man proposed that the state should improve the condition of the river.
The question for today is pretty simple, but fun to figure out:
1. Who is the inventor of this gadget?
2. What is the name of the river that prompted this call for improvements?
3. What did he propose doing to improve the river?
This sounds like an ordinary search question, but the answers will probably surprise you!
Let us now how you solved it!
Search on!

Daniel M. Russell studies the way people search and research?an anthropologist of search, if you will. You can read more from Russell on his SearchReSearch blog, and stay tuned for his weekly challenges (and answers) here on Lifehacker.
