I live within 3 kilometers of the start of the Mighty Columbia River, coming out of Columbia Lake in British Columbia, it starts out as a river only 10 meters wide and about 1 meter deep, it has been flowing here for what your program says millions of years, I'm happy to live here as these waters fill the dams starting with the Mica Dam in British Columbia.

no idea who meter is or what's being metered or what you're trying to say.

Being from Utah, our rivers are tiny streams compared to these mighty rivers. When I first saw the Columbia I was in disbelief. It is a rolling lake. So beautiful as are all the rivers in Portland.

If I hadn't recognized Nick Zentner on the hill, I would never have watched this clip! Cascade PBS with Nick Zentner would catch more views.

Well I feel like a real lucky duck to have been able to watch this a few days ago with both Knute and Nick! …if anyone else wants to be a PBS member you could be a lucky duck as well!

I live in the North Okanogan right on the US/CA border. The Colombia takes that big bend directly south of here, about two hours drive.

This is the "faucet" Trump wants to turn on....drain the Columbia to irrigate the US. Try that and he might just find a wall, called Canada, holding it back.

I would love to know more about the conditions of the region during the Pleistocene and of the other glacial lakes that formed terraces in the northern watersheds and more on the erratics found all over the landscape.

Only thing wrong with this video is it wasn't even close to long enough, I would have enjoyed it even more if it were an hour or two long!

Did Lake Chelan become so deep due to glacial flow only? I think we must apply some Lesemann theory to Chelan and call it a tunnel channel conduit conveying ultra high pressure megajokhulhaups out of the Fraser over Rainy Pass.

It would be interesting to compare the Columbia which is dammed and the Fraser river which is not , in life in the water

@n539rv 2 ай бұрын

You missed mentioning the Bonneville dam site landslide that blocked the river also.

Nice! I just toured the upper reaches two weeks ago. I know it’s not in WA, but a history without considering the northern headwaters? Id like to see the whole river history.

Pend Oreille is a greater source than Lake Columbia I understand.

@jamestierney3572 2 ай бұрын

Nice. But maybe you could explain the curve in the Columbia from Portland to Astoria. Hint, look at the very confused Nehalem River.

@xenocampanoli815 3 ай бұрын

I think Nick Zentner says the regions rivers are the oldest landmarks, many going back more like 20 million years: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXnTZ2eqq8x2iac

this is all old stuff for me but in a nutshell, the Glacial Lake Missoula drained cataclysmicly more than three times, we don't know how many more times forsure but each time the floods carried shitloads of ice and rock and mudflow, each time carving out a new path. it scoured and carved out what we call the columbia river today. the lower portion of the river that sees tidal influence has a lot of sand and the willamette mountains turned into the willamette valley, there are accent Salish, and Chinook tribal stories about great floods that created devastation 'as far as can be seen'
