	Columbia River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The exterior river boat scenes from the 1994 film Maverick (Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and James Garner), were shot on the Columbia River, in the Columbia River Gorge, near the town of Hood River.

	Columbia River Basin White Sturgeon
		Historically, white sturgeon inhabited the Columbia River from the mouth upstream into Canada, the Snake River upstream to Shoshone Falls, and the Kootenai River upstream to Kootenai Falls (Scott and Crossman 1973; Figure).
		White sturgeon populations in free-flowing and inundated reaches of the Columbia River Basin have been negatively affected by the abundant hydropower dams in most of the mainstem Columbia and Snake rivers (Rieman and Beamesderfer 1990).
		Research on the Kootenai River is examining the effects of increased discharge on the spawning behavior of white sturgeon.

		Recreation on the Columbia began early in the settlement era, with steamboat excursions up the Columbia from Portland, especially to the western end of the Columbia River Gorge.
		The Columbia River first appeared on European maps in the early 17th century as "River of the West," when a Spanish maritime explorer Martin de Auguilar located a major river near the 42nd parallel.
		Cartographers often labeled the "River of the West" as an estuary to the mythical Straits of Anian, or the Northwest Passage and located it anywhere from the 42nd to the 50th parallel.

		The Columbia River Basin is bounded principally by the Rocky Mountain system on the east and north, the Cascade Range on the west, and the Great Basin on the south.
		To the west of the Cascade Range, the Columbia River is joined by the Willamette drainage and begins a transition to the ocean tidal reaches.
		Most of the annual precipitation of the Columbia River Basin is concentrated in the winter months with the bulk of the precipitation falling in mountainous areas as snow to be stored in deep snowpacks awaiting the warmth of spring for its release.

		The Columbia River is a river situated in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest of the United States.
		One thing to keep in mind is that this whole river is a means of commercial water travel for many different types of vessels, including ocean going ships and tugs.
		The normal shipping lane depths may be dredged and kept at a minimum of 40 ft. The one thing here is that the ships will be coming in many times at a high tide because of a lesser current so upriver and downriver traffic can increase during the high tide.

		He subsequently became a "leader among the first generation of hatchery operators," owning and operating several hatcheries in the Columbia Basin (Cone and Ridlington 1996).
		During the mid-1890s, when declining salmon returns and arguments over the price paid for salmon led to violent fights between fisherman and cannery operators, Stone was instrumental in developing and operating dozens of hatcheries in Oregon and Washington on tributaries of the Columbia River.
		For example, he did not even understand that salmon of a particular species or population return to the river from which they hatched; rather, he believed that salmon randomly chose streams for spawning purposes (Cone and Ridlington 1996).
