Geography

The Lachsbach is formed by the merger of its headstreams, the Sebnitz (left, about half the size) and Polenz (right, rather longer) in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains near Porschdorf. The combined confluence section of the two rivers was first recorded in 1543 as die beyde wasser ("the two waters"), a description no longer common today. After only 3 kilometres (2 mi), the Lachsbach empties into the Elbe above Prossen's winter port near Wendischfähre.

gollark: That would create awful incentives.
gollark: No.
gollark: They can fix them if they're detected. But it's BETTER if your mistakes are detected BEFOREHAND, instead of after your code has been released and deployed everywhere.
