Oh yes...and Marmots are also irrelavent as well...that name however..."marmot"...that sort of sounds like some kind of pest or critter that me as a farmer would really WANT to get rid of, eradicate and kill off completely...
"No-one alive could recall what the river looked like before the dam, but the river remembered" oh boy... "yo we need a deep line at the end to finish this story" "Agottcha"
Just think how happy those fish are finding their new but ancestral home. We need to support and step up the pace of dam removal for the health of our environment.
Growing up near a river (not nearly as powerful as the Sandy) I noticed as a kid how sediment and rock and rip rap would change in less than a day. Never under estimate the power of flowing water.
I like to see dam breaking videos and watch nature return to normal. Just like man used to think that forest fires were bad, they thought that river flooding was bad as well. Well, just like forests need to burn, rivers need to flood as well.
С Лёвой стороны 2 экскаваторами за 3 часа прорыть канал !!! Река дальше промоет сама !!! 3 суток и 1000 & все стоило бы ))) Умеют осваивать деньги в Дженирал электрик ))) 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪🏿
The fella that is doing all, All the high volume excitedly talking, is happier than a pack of 10 year olds turned loose in any mall and told, “TAKE ANYTHING YOU WANT. AS MUCH AS YOU WANT FOR 6 HOURS.”
Lame man. I thought this was about how marmots can make dams and humans came in to clear it. I was like, "Whoa, marmots are like beavers?" Nice marmot.
If this is what a small-ish river did I can only imagine what an outburst mega flood must of looked like and how fast it must of carved away the land. I'm think something like the glacial lake outburst floods.
@@upfrontgaming8889 Who cares ? Are these the only fish in the river ? Stop the predators from eating the fish of you are so concerned about the numbers. Ever heard of "restocking."
@@CynicalDad81 the problem is that while this river is returned to a natural state, most places are just getting worse because we just keep building and polluting everything, a river that hasn't had toxic chemicals and other things of a similar nature poured into it will be fine but a lot of places have been used as dumping grounds for waste and other crap. people are messing shit up
@@Murtagh653 the only issue with your argument is that we really can't do much more about it, the western hemisphere is the cause of less than 20% of the overall pollution on the planet like 80% is China and India and the remainder are the remaining countries around the world, its all well and good to care about the environment but you're preaching to the wrong people if you want sources it'll take me some time to find them again
I had no idea marmots were dam builders, but we have a few grizzly in Canada we could send down. They LOVE those furry little chunks of meat. Crunchy on the inside, fluffy on the outside.
It's good to see humanity doing the right thing. For the longest time our countries highest goal was to "master nature" those are the words they used. To make nature work for us. It was what is call, "Hubris, excessive pride or self-confidence" Nature will have her way whether it is to our collective destruction or is allowed to be the tender mother that provides all we NEED. I used the word need in caps to draw our over use of Want.
Whos the loon in the yellow mac ? the local 'special' ? "Hey, Dwayne, go pull yer brother Cletus back. He be getting all muddy". "Ok, Ma, Cletus you 'tard get over here next to the Chevy afore I come whip yer arse, and for godsake put it away and pull yer britches up".
You just hit the bulls eye. Truer words have never been spoken. Humanity believes that we are the Rulers Of Earth, the Controllers Of Destiny, the Masters Of Time & Space. In truth, we are just one more organism on this planet that has no more significance than a T-Rex, a Wombat, a tiger, a slug, an amoeba. And like the dinosaurs of ancient earth, we too will be gone forever from this beautiful planet. Just one more failed mutation, joining a long list of past life. Who will dig up our fossils? What species will unearth the remnants of a shopping mall and speculate on the culture that once lived there, as we now do with the Mayans, Incas, Aztecs? It warms the heart to know the earth can shake us off like a dog that shed fleas.
It makes you wonder if maybe this "clean" energy was a bad idea in the first place. There is fossil fuels enough to supply our electricity for hundreds of years or more, with the added benefit of releasing the trapped carbon that can now be used by plants and algae to green the planet. Maybe it's time to free all the rivers!
Good determiner of the conditions if a land slide occurred somewhere along the river. There was a very large landslide in the American river along Highway 50 in the Sierra Nevada mountains years ago. Seems that nature will just compensate as well as the creatures. Humans get all bent out of shape when nature happens and are determined to study it for whatever reason. There was a 80 yo dam removal in Italy or Spain on RU-vid that they just let the river wash the sediment away.
The model shows the coffer dam washing out from below, so where do they put the forklift? Hey the dam might wash out under me, but don't be silly I'm still gonna send ittttt.
Put one from Washington State down to the bottom of California too. Keep those libtards there instead of ruining places like Texas, Montana, Idaho, etc.
The fact that the top hydrologists and geologists can't judge the result of a dam break leaves me cold. I'm below an earthen dam near Grants Pass, and estimates put me 37' underwater if it breaches. The science the top guys learned is apparently =vastly= lacking substance, depth, and experience.
Probably has something to do with ecological regulations on concrete/steel sitting around in fresh water supply. I dunno if anything super harmful leaches from those, could be. Might also upset water chemistry, affecting the river community for decades. If I had to guess
Bunkers and dams are very difficult to demolish by explosives. With a lot of concrete, there isn't enough space to collapse and gravity doesn't really help. Typically you end up with large chunks remaining.
How can a professional geologist be so far off? It took 24 hours to move all that crap, and they thought it would take months? I will give them some slack because it's never been done before, but that is a hell of an error. That would be like a weatherman saying it's going to be sunny and 90° and it turns out to be 2 feet of snow and -20° below zero.
Silly Environmentalists. There was a real earthen dam on Quail Lake Utah that went out like this. They might have looked for other occurances instead of modeling? Oh well?
I do like the new hydro power instead of a dam they make a channel and it dumbs it on a turbine like when you spin a bottel to drain it and it dumps the water back into the stream no dam required
Far less kinetic energy and as a result far less electricity produced, the companies that make those (especially the small 'village sized' ones) immensely overstate their capacities up to a tenfold more, they cannot produce more energy than they are operated with...
@@LoveShaysloco That is the actual limitation of how much (kinetic) energy you can introduce to the turbine to convert it to (electrical) energy, less energy in means less energy out and that is clearly shown by how little those systems output...
@@someguy4915 dams run off the pressure of the water behind it so the more pressure behind the faster the water the faster the turbines the faster turbines the more power. I have also done countless projects in collage that we did both kinds and we got equivalent power from both. Pluses we made a pipe turbine 10 times bigger and it was 9.25% more power from friction loss
