It flows for 269 km to the southwest, mainly through the Palouse region in southeast Washington. It is part of the Columbia River basin, as the Snake River is a tributary of the Columbia River. Its barrel was cut off by a fork in the catastrophic Missoula floods of the previous ice age, which spilled over the northern Columbia plateau and flowed into the Snake River, eroding the river's current course in a few thousand years. Palouse Falls Course in 2006 Palouse River entering the snake on the Lyon ferry near Starbuck, looking north in 2006 The Palouse River flows from northern Idaho to Southeast Washington the Palouse region, named for the river. The river originates in Idaho, northeast of Latah County, in the Hoodoo Mountains in the St. Joe's National Forest. In Washington, the river flows into Whitman County to Palouse and then to Colfax, where it meets its southern fork, which originates on the southern slopes of Moscow Mountain in the Palouse Range, flowing south from Moscow and west to Pullman. (Paradise Creek parallel to the South Fork, passing through Moscow to Pullman, accompanied by the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail and State Route 270.) From Colfax, the river meanders to the west and ends up on the lower Snake River southwest of Hooper, but not before falling over Palouse Falls. The Palouse River enters the Snake River below the Little Goose Dam and above the lower monumental dam. Basin and discharge The drainage basin of the Palouse River is 8,550 km². [2] Its average annual discharge, measured by USGS gage 13351000 at Hooper (river mile 19.6), is 599 cubic feet per second (17 m3/s), with a daily maximum recorded flow of 27,800 feet/s (787 m3/s), and a minimum zero flow. [3] Geology The Missoula floods that periodically spread across eastern Washington and across the Columbia River plateau during the Pleistocene era cut the canyon of the Palouse River, which is 300 meters deep in places. [8] The ancient Palouse River flowed through the now dry Washtucna Coulee directly into the Columbia River. The current canyon was created when the Missoula floods overcame the northern drainage divide of the ancestral Palouse River, diverting it to the current course to the Snake River eroding a new deeper channel. [10] The area is characterized by coulees, cataracts, plunge pools, kolk-created potholes, rock benches, butts and pinnacles typical of the scales.

  • Kitsap County Watershed Location Map Washington State Seems to Have an Abundance of Water
    KITSAP COUNTY INITIAL BASIN ASSESSMENT October 1997 With the multitudes of lakes, streams, and rivers, Kitsap County Watershed Location Map Washington State seems to have an abundance of water. The demand for water resources, however, has steadily increased each year, while the water supply has stayed the same, or in some cases, appears to have declined. This increased demand for limited water resources has made approving new water uses complex and controversial. To expedite decisions about pending water rights, it is vital to accurately assess the quality and quantity of our surface and ground water. The Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) recognizes that water right decisions must be based on accurate scientific information. Ecology is working with consultants and local governments to conduct special studies called Initial What do we know about the Kitsap County Watershed or Basin Assessments throughout the Basin? State. The assessments describe existing water rights, streamflows, precipitation, geology, hydrology, Kitsap County encompasses almost 400 square miles and water quality, fisheries resources, and land use occupies a peninsula and several islands in Puget Sound. patterns.

    PURLOINED PATHS | LAYOFFS AND LESSONS | BOOKS FOR THE EREMOCENE High Country ForN people whoews care about the West Grizzly Face-Off The Yellowstone grizzly population is poised to lose federal protections — for better or worse By Gloria Dickie May 16, 2016 | $5 | Vol. 48 No. 8 | www.hcn.org 48 No. | $5 Vol. 2016 16, May CONTENTS Editor’s note Grizzly fascination The professor’s assignment was open-ended: Get together with another graduate student and write about a current natural resource dilemma, one with lots of competing players. Both topic and partner came readily to mind: The Yellowstone grizzly bear intrigued not only me, but also my vivacious, intelligent colleague, Ann Harvey. That was back in 1985. The other day, I found our report buried deep inside an old file cabinet. It’s not poetry, but it captures the flavor of the landscape, as well as the politics of a place that has been one of my journalistic foci for decades now. And I am still friends with Ann, who has lived in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem ever since, and who continues to be an ardent wildlife advocate. Here’s the thing about grizzly bears: They create a human ecosystem every bit as interesting as the natural one. And that system is also populated by fierce and persistent individuals. Ann is one of many who have remained in the grizzly-shaped system for Yellowstone Valley photo guide, outtter and hunter Jim Laybourn wears a bear costume to help send a message at the Yellowstone Ecosystem Subcommittee meeting in Teton Village last November.

Support and nurture plant and wildlife habitat, offer a well-balanced range of recreation opportunities which enriches the lives of Palouse's citizens.” Policies and strategies designed to achieve this vision are included in the plan which would significantly improve ecological function in the City. EXISTING AND ONGOING PLANS AND PROGRAMS State, regional, and local agencies and organizations are actively involved in shoreline restoration, conservation, and protection in and around Whitman County. These partners and their local roles in shoreline protection and/or restoration are identified below. 4.1 Whitman County Comprehensive Plan The County’s Comprehensive Plan contains an Environmental Quality and Conservation Element providing policies related to conservation of natural resources. The County has developed guidelines for implementing Comprehensive Plan goals (See Section 3) related to natural resource protection. These focus on policies, regulations, and procedures governing critical and sensitive areas and include: Designating and mapping critical environmental sites and ceasing exemption of dwellings within designated areas from Environmental Impact Statement requirements when a Threshold Determination of Significance is reached. Incorporating goals and guidelines into Whitman County ordinance governing SEPA review. Use the removal of the exemption (above) as an opportunity to evaluate impacts of single-family homes, employ mitigation measures, preserve vegetative cover, and modify locations of buildings and roads. The Plan presents implementation guidelines that incorporate procedural and regulatory frameworks.

  • Introduction .Of Washington Geographic Names, a Study
    NOTES ON EARLY SETTLEMENTS AND ON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES OF EASTERN WASHINGTON Introduction The article which follows is a by-product of several mmor studies in the economic history of eastern Washington. Although not intended as such, it turns out to be, in some respects, an appen­ dix, or perhaps a series of footnotes, to Professor Meany's Origin . of Washington Geographic Names, a study published serially in this magazine and subsequently brought out as a volume by the Uni­ versity of Washington Press in 1923. The article contains some names not included in Professor Meany's study, elaborations of a few of his entries, and, in rare instances, slight corrections of his work. To facilitate comparison, frequent references are made to the above-mentioned volume. But the present article is conceived in a different spirit from that of Professor Meany's study. His interest centered in the origins of names; mine has consisted primarily in assembling data relating to early settlements in one area of Washington. Other entries in my article are incidental. By means of the data herein assembled the story of the occupation of the area north of the Snake River in eastern Washington during the seventies and the eighties can be traced in outline, and the principal factors which determined the sites of pioneer towns can be seen in operation. Not the least important of these factors was transportation. During the decade of the seventies the pioneers of eastern Washington were in large measure economically dependent on the Columbia River system. Down the Snake and Columbia rivers was shipped the produce of the "upper country," and up these rivers were transported immi­ grants and equipment needed for the economic development of the Palouse and Spokane countries.* And to some extent settlers south of the Snake River were dependent on the navigation of that stream.
