	History of the Basin - Kootenai River Network, Inc.
		The topography of the Kootenai River sub-basin is dominated by steep, heavily forested mountain canyons and valleys.
		The headwaters of the Kootenay River in British Columbia consist primarily of the main fork of the Kootenay River and Elk River.
		Kootenai River tributaries are characteristically high-gradient mountain streams with bed material consisting of various mixtures of sand, gravel, rubble, boulders, and drifting amounts of clay and silt, predominantly of glacio-lacustrine origin.

	Kootenays - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kootenay Region (in common parlance "The Kootenays") comprises the southeastern portion of British Columbia.
		The strictest definition of the region is the drainage basin of the lower Kootenay River from its re-entry into Canada near Creston, through to its confluence with the Columbia at Castlegar.
		The usual East-West separator is the northward leg of the Kootenay River (mostly Kootenay Lake) with the Duncan River as a northern extension.

	Kootenay River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kootenay River (spelled Kootenai River for its American portions) is the uppermost major tributary of the Columbia River, flowing through British Columbia, Montana and Idaho.
		The Kootenay originates in the Rocky Mountains of eastern British Columbia, and initially flows south through Kootenay National Park, merging into the Rocky Mountain Trench near Canal Flats, British Columbia (here it passes within a kilometer of Columbia Lake, the headwaters of the Columbia).
		In the 1970s, it was proposed that the Kootenay River be diverted into the Columbia River (the two rivers are separated by a distance of no more than one mile in the Rocky Mountain Trench in southeastern British Columbia).

	Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection - Kootenay Sturgeon Conservation Hatchery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Kootenay River white sturgeon inhabit a 270 km section of the Kootenay River from Kootenay Falls, in Montana, to Kootenay Lake in B.C. The United States listed this stock as ‘endangered’ under the US Endangered Species Act (1994).
		This coincides with efforts to re-establish suitable Kootenay River spring flows and habitat conditions for recruitment of wild white sturgeon.
		This ‘fail safe’ facility is an expansion of the provincial Kootenay Trout Hatchery where the sturgeon are kept isolated from trout and char also reared at the hatchery.

	Exploring The Creston Valley - Canoeing Kootenay River - East Branch to Train Bridge
		The Old Kootenay River Channel, the stretch of water left behind when the present Kootenay River took a new path long ago, is a quiet, scenic waterway.
		The water level depends upon the dams in the West Kootenay and the dam on the Kootenay River at Libby, Montana.
		If water levels in the Old Kootenay River Channel are not high enough to permit passage, try French's Slough to the south of the bridge as an excellent alternative.

	Upper Kootenay Sternwheelers
		Navigation on the Kootenay River (the Kootenai in the United States) in the East Kootenay was very important in the 1890s before the completion of the Crowsnest Pass railway route.
		The source of the Kootenay is very close to the source of the Columbia in Columbia Lake and the possibility of building a canal between the two rivers looked feasible.
		The Kootenay River formed a natural route for travel south from British Columbia to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways built across the northern states in the 1880s and 1890s.

		The Kootenay River The Kootenay River begins humbly in a marshy area about 40 km upstream of its confluence with the Vermilion River.
		The Vermilion was a true tributary of the Kootenay River.
		At that time, the Kicking Horse River flowed through the valley of the Beaverfoot River and into the Kootenay drainage As the glaciers melted, however, glacial material blocked this route and the Kicking Horse River began to cut a steep and nocuous route, westward to Golden and the Columbia River.
