Mighty Columbia River, The (1947)
The Columbia River is a significant waterway in North America, flowing over 1,200 miles from the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. It serves various purposes, including irrigation, flood control, and electricity generation through dams like the Grand Coulee and Bonneville. The river supports agriculture, particularly wheat farming, and facilitates transportation via barges and ocean vessels. Salmon fishing is also a vital activity, with fish ladders enabling their migration despite the dams. Overall, the Columbia River plays a crucial role in the economy and ecology of the Pacific Northwest.
