I would be interested to hear about the subterranean river under Lviv, Ukraine. It used to be where the main street of the city, Prospekt Svobody, now runs. I would also like to hear about the subterranean waters under one of the Paris opera houses. I think the Phantom of the Opera’s lair is based on those waters.

I live in Pittsburgh and we have an underground river here called, oddly, the Wisconsin Glacial Flow. It’s used to power the fountain that sits at the confluence of the three (four?) rivers near downtown.

I remember hearing about it as a kid and thinking that it was really weird/creepy that there’s an unseen river underneath the “real” rivers.
