Two Days One River

Yesterday the Bella Coola River was slightly off in colour from sediments as a result of a bit of the warmer weather the previous few days and some of the usual clay banks thawing and sloughing.  It was still a fairly pleasant translucent colour.


After a night and day of rain it was a lot dirtier looking today and not so pleasant.  It seems like it won't take much of a combined spring thaw and rain to produce pretty dirty river conditions in the Bella Coola River this year.  Grizzly

    What is the temperature range of the river? Does it fluctuate during the spring as the melt works it way down the Bella Coola river?

    Good suggestion. Something I'd like to do sometime - lots of fancy automatic devices around to do that, but hard to keep it up over a year to get good data. Grizzly
