    For several years I watched the Los Angeles County Flood Control District truck out sediment from behind Big Tujunga Dam. They have filled several downstream tributary canyons, creating usable terracing and employment for contractors.

      Some of it will flow downstream to the Columbia River and out to sea other types will sit there and be eroded away in place until they are small enough to be carried downstream.

      if you look for it there are videos discussing the delta that the sediment formed at the river's mouth. It's very interesting, and environmentally beneficial.

      Oregon public broadcasting did an update on it sometime ago. It basically looks like a natural river again, there's obviously some parts that are still working in progress and sediment isn't exactly the best kind of soil, but nature is taking it's course though.
      Prior to the dam, it was a river that was able to cut through the basalt rock and form a canyon and the dam was at a natural narrow point in the path.

    It is great to breach the Condit Dam on the White Salmon River. After a while the mud will go down, and the salmonids will move up and spawn.
    This is an important breach of the dam to improve the population of salmonids!

  • @rosewhite---
    @rosewhite--- Před 6 lety +1

    3:00 see the way the sides are slwoly slumping down into the running water? That is same as what happened to create the Grand Canyone - the sides fo the canyon were not solid hard rock but just compressed sediments of varying dryness and hardness so some of it slumps as the water erodes it and some didn't slump but remained and then hardened to become rocks and give you people the impression the canyon is ancient and cut by the puny Colorado river!

    • @grbradsk
      @grbradsk Před 5 lety +2

      Hmm. The Grand Canyon meanders -- as a meandering stream would cut in millions of years. Floods gash strait with a few turns against hard rock. The Grand Canyon also contains layers and layers of fossils, I've seen fossil seaweed on one layer, then clams on another, then shells on another. There was a long sequence. Your ideology blinds you.

    • @IstasPumaNevada

    • @bigredc222
      @bigredc222 Před rokem

      I've heard from other Christians like yourself that the grand canyon was formed by one massive flood at the end of the last ice age, which sounds kind of believable, except the last ice age ended more than 20,000 years ago, so that's still quite a few more years than the 5000 or so you people claim how old the earth is. After you all voted for Trump you lost all your credibility. You are just a bunch of hate filled hypocrites. If there is a heaven and JC is at the gate, you'll have to answer for why you supported such a vile human being.

    This video is a very small imitation of what happened during The Flood 4,350 years ago!
    Note how the sides of the gully slump down as the waterlogged sludge cannot remain on a slope.
    This dam carved its channel in just a couple of hours but the Grand Canyon probably took a couple of weeks to be carved out.

    • @IstasPumaNevada
      @IstasPumaNevada Před 3 lety +1

      If you'd bothered to research your claim, instead of just clinging to it to support your pre-existing beliefs, you'd have found that the world's rivers can account for some sea level rise... about 0.0006 inches per year, or only about 1/200th of sea level rise. (And that's not accounting for tectonic subsidence caused by river delta mass, which would offset some.)
      Thinking of alternatives is a good idea. But when you reject the conclusions that entire disciplines of peer-reviewed science arrive at in favor of what you already believe, that's not skepticism; that's denial.
