That farmer really made an impact on the world. The signs of his work will be visible for thousands of years as big, ugly lobes on the landscape. That slide should be named after him.
Excellent. Thank you! Your solution is a win:win. Farmers would save a lot of pumping and associated cost and the bluffs and river would score an environmental benefit. There is now plenty of soil moisture monitoring and management technology available. It needs a cost/benefit analysis and someone to sell the story to the farmers. Probably mission impossible!?
excellent video and explanation----I am now a subscriber. and all that excess water means that the river is being deprived of water. I am sure, esp in the dry season, that reduction of flow is not good.
This is not hard to work out . The science here is that the ground is very porous material, you can see the water from the irrigation seeping through the foundations of the Buff, the walls , one can see that water from the irrigation system is turning the earth into mud , 2 fold problem here , also the strata layed Rick is not bound together it's a laminated landscape , that has now water well and truly into the structure and and it's just going to expand and flow away . . I think the Irrigation system has done damage beyond repair , it will now continue . Swollen, water % in the bluff is at a critical point .
The Grand canyon was caused mainly by the uplift of the crust in that region and the Colorado River and its tributaries cutting against that uplift. Landslides like this helped widen the Grand Canyon but they are not what caused it.
The music choise is most irritating, it's not only you that chooses irritating music, it's a habit in many youtube video's..... but where did you find it....
Very interesting and dramatic footage. Thank you for sharing.
Nice work producing this visualization of the landslide.

Excellent drone footage of a geologically fascinating location! Well done.

This has since slid a lot more. Another 200 feet-ish slid off. The farmer can't farm his whole field anymore.
So does that mean that too much irrigation was done?
Do the crop circles need to be lined at depth to prevent the water eroding the ground
And the response of the farmer who owns the top of the bluff is…?
I haven’t talk to that farmer but other farmers generally deny any responsibility for the slides.
@@bjornstad51 Hmmm… Farmers in the Minnesota River valley similarly deny responsibility for bank erosion and water pollution. I sense a trend…
Acho que tem que demolir às bordas e plantar no terreno em forma de rampa.
Just takes a little water over a short length of years to do this. Many decades of it will really up the ante on landslides..
Is the music from XX?
Similarities to karst?
Bruce, how much material do you estimate sloughed off the bluffs in the past year, just stupid curiosity :)
Hard to say or measure. Probably at least several hundred cubic meters displaced over the last year with no sign of stopping or slowing down.

From what I've heard, landslides are caused by liquidfaction, due to earthquakes or rainfall that soaks the earth.
Sometimes. Landslides can also be created by an oversaturation by water coupled with a steep angle of repose.
Irrigation and natural water with crude oil based fertilizers from farming?

Let er slide
how 'bout planting of trees on the slope? Just wondering. I know nothing about geology
Those slopes are still moving and very unstable. Any trees planted there would probably not survive very long.

Yeah, thanks for that elucidative explanation, Professor.
Great footage !.....unbelievable how arrogant / ignorant mankind can be.....so sad :(
So what?
And that's how the grand canyons were form

Ha ha,, I was looking for NORWAY !!
There's more White Bluffs behind the White Bluffs. Let the farmers farm.
Lots of farmland in E. Washington - only a single White Bluffs. Save the bluffs!
Why? I don't care about those farmers. I wouldn't mind if they were gone.
@@SheepWaveMeByeBye It's their land, their livelihood, and they produce food for you. I guess you could chew on some white bluffs.
Help the farmers irrigate properly! It will save the farmer money and preserve his farm from slumping off the cliff!
Well that was lack lustre.
The music choise is most irritating, it's not only you that chooses irritating music, it's a habit in many youtube video's..... but where did you find it....
Irresponsible farming/farmers. 😏
I thought europeans were very smart. Guess not.
What irritating background noise.
Really? I was about to comment on how appropriate it was . . . it gave an unworldly aura to the scenes.
@@minimaker5600 Agree I like the music
How horrible to irrigate useless land and make it useful. I'm quite sure those hoodoos have been there for centuries.
Wrong. No hoodoos here before 2015.

Maybe if they irrigated responsibly then the land could be useful and the landslides would subside.
