Made\n this map as a figure for my research. Data was collected from U.S. \nCensus, Washington State, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana GIS portals for \nwaterways and lakes. Canada streams and lakes data was collected from \nBritish Columbia GIS portal.
Nameplate\n capacity was gathered from the U.S. Army Core of Engineers and British \nColumbia Hydro and Power Authority. Presented at 8 different even \npercentiles.
Map was produced with Python and the Geopandas, libpysal, and mapclassify libraries.
As a note, this is not a comprehensive map of all the dams or hydroelectric facilities in the CRB.
For\n those interested there\u2019s 13 dams on the Columbia River in BC, along \nwith the headwaters of the whole river system which has led to a lot of \nnegotiations between us and the the Americans and the creation of the \nColumbia River treaty.As well as a\n community trust has been established with proceeds from the sale of \nhydro \u00a0to fund community infrastructure, culture and other initiative to\n residents of the Columbia basin. I believe this only available to those\n on the Canadian side but I am not 100% on that point.
