	Columbia River Summary
		The Columbia River (French: fleuve Columbia) is a river situated in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
		It is the largest river in volume flowing into the Pacific Ocean from the Western Hemisphere, and is the fourth largest by volume in North America behind the Mississippi, the St Lawrence, and the Mackenzie rivers.
		French explorers called the Columbia River "the river of storms," ouragan, which is a possible origin of the name "Oregon." Other possibilities have been suggested based on words from French and Spanish (since the region was explored by their nationals), but an official origin of the name is not known.

	Columbia River - Wikinfo
		The Columbia River is the largest river in volume flowing into the Pacific Ocean from North America.

	Columbia Magazine - 1949: Year of Decision on the Columbia River
		The Columbia's character and its muscle are generally hidden from view, deep in the old river channel and in the guts of machines that span the river like stair steps, from Bonneville Dam near Portland to Mica Dam at the river's far northern turn in British Columbia.
		People looking at the river for the first time probably would not think about the history swamped by the great dams, the towns that had to be relocated, the tribal lands and sacred sites covered by reservoirs, and the farms that became lake beds.
		The central document in the modern history of the Columbia River is called the "308 Report," a white paper of sorts that outlined where and at what cost hydroelectric projects could and might be developed on the river.
