Special | 28m 49sVideo has Closed Captions
Take a ride on a river and find out more about this force of nature.
Rivers have a life. They change the land through which they flow. They give us water to drink, energy we convert to electricity, and a place for plants and animals to live. But where do they start? How do they change? Host Joan Cartan-Hansen and her guests, James McNamara at Boise State University and Elowyn Yager, at the University of Idaho will answer students’ questions.
