March 2024:
As rains continue to fill local lakes and reservoirs,
onlookers are eagerly anticipating seeing the water of Napa County’s Lake Berryessa overflow into its funnel-like spillway, dubbed
“the Glory Hole,”
which channels water 200 feet straight down near Monticello Dam and into Putah Creek on the other side.
During these overflows, the water flowing into the hole looks like the drain of a giant bathtub, or a wormhole to another dimension.
For those…

Good Morning #Canada
We're now getting to the big ones... as we break into the top 10 in #CanadaRivers. The South Saskatchewan River is #10, beginning at the confluence of the Bow and Oldman Rivers in southern Alberta and ends at the Saskatchewan River Forks, the confluence of the South and North Saskatchewan Rivers which then becomes the Saskatchewan River. Flowing for 1,392 km it drains a watershed of 146,100 km2, 1,800 of which are in Montana, USA.
Major dams were constructed on the river to prevent flooding, for reservoirs, irrigation, and for hydroelectric power. The South Saskatchewan provides approximately 19% of the hydro-electricity generated by SaskPower. A 2009 WWF Canada report analysed the river flow on ten Canadian rivers & found the South Saskatchewan River was most at risk. Climate change, agricultural & urban infrastructure water use, and dams producing hydroelectricity, have all combined to reduce the flow of the river by 70%.

#13 is a lucky number for me as I wore it on my hockey jersey for 20 years of unremarkable performance in industrial and adult leagues and didn't die. And that brings us to #13 on our countdown of #CanadaRivers.
The Ottawa River begins at Lac des Outaouais, north of the Laurentian Mountains of central Quebec, flowing west to Lake Timiskaming. From there its route has been used to define the interprovincial border between Quebec and Ontario. The 1,271 km river has a watershed of 146,300 km2, ultimately draining into the St. Lawrence River. It served as a major trade route for Indigenous people and Ottawa means "to trade" in Algonquin. The river, it's surrounding forests and Indigenous people were all severely impacted by the forestry industry. Lumberjacks brought disease and over-hunted local game, logs jammed the river and dams were constructed to control water levels for moving timber. Today 50 dams, reservoir and hydroelectric, exist on the Ottawa.
