Good morning TaraP,
Here in Florida we have the Santa Fe River. YOu can go down it in and inner tube Kayak or canoe and at a certain point you have to stop because the river disappears underground.
It’s not a large river maybe twenty feet across ususally but you come to a certain point and large signs warn you and then there is fencing to prevent you from disappearing with it.

An example of this in the US is Crooked Creek in N. Arkansas.

Large creek-small river with high flow that disappears into the stream bed. The stream bed continues on to where it joins the White river and runs only during flood stage.

The underground river goes a different direction and joins the White river far upstream of the mouth as Big Spring-Cotter Springs.

The Rio Grande river becomes a underground river downstream from El Paso. Very popular place for the illegals and drug smugglers to enter Texas.

Have you ever swam in San Felipe Creek

Yes, many times. The best place was in the park but further down toward the Rio Grande there were some other good spots.

Yes, and it used to be a lake.
Not that long ago either.

The science is rather simple, if you have to drill deeper and deeper wells, it means the water level is falling.

Why can’t they just build a canal/ditch at Devils Lake to get rid of the water? Oh it’s the gumment, how silly of me.

I read the Rio Grande peters out because all the water gets tapped off.

Just like the Colorado River.

Or for that matter the whole freakin’ Nile.

It's limestone - we have the same thing in Florida - when the limestone breaks and caves - we call it a sinkhole. Usually they happen on dry land - but about a hundred years ago one opened up near Gainesville and a huge lake disappeared in about 3 days. You can still see what remains...

Well, they might as well waive the creel limits and let the fishermen have a field day.

And the South Platte. So many straws in it that a long time ago they had to drill tunnels through the Rockies to bring more water into Denver from the west side of the Rockies.

Karst Topography. Limestone beds undercut and lined with water tunnels and caves which can collapse leaving large sinkholes, and swallowing houses, cars, and apparently also rivers. In West Virginia/Virginia border area There is something called Lost River. There are several limestone caverns in the general vicinity of which Lurey and Senandoah Caverns are well known.
