The Columbia River has transformed the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, cutting canyons, coulees, and gorges as the river flows from the Rocky Mountains of Canada to the Pacific coast of Oregon. On its way through this spectacular landscape, the river is tapped by a series of dams that power and supply water to the entire Northwest region. In fact, the river is the most heavily dammed stretch of water in the world. Book jacket.
