00:00There is a river in North America which should not exist.
00:04Well, at least according to scientists,
00:06most of the normal rivers in the world
00:09join in aval,
00:10join in descent
00:11and end up putting their water in an ocean or in a lake.
00:15But the river Echimamish, Canada,
00:17does not follow the rules
00:19and coul in the two directions.
00:21Its name even means
00:22eau that coul in the two senses,
00:24in the local language,
00:26the Cree.
00:27The Echimamish measure around 59 km de long,
00:30but it was another time a big part
00:32of the road
00:33carried out by the railroad marches between the bay of Hudson
00:36and the lake Winnipeg.
00:37It's an end between the river Hayes and the Nelson river.
00:40These eaux are quite deep and deep,
00:42because they cross the tourbieres.
00:44The things become interesting
00:46when we reach the castor.
00:48The people who went there
00:50say that the Echimamish
00:52goes towards the river Hayes
00:53and the Nelson river
00:54in part of the castor central.
00:56It is difficult to tell exactly
00:58where the eau is divided,
00:59because the river traverse
01:00a valley almost flat
01:01and its current current
01:03is barely perceptible.
01:07The course of our list
01:08is the Kazichiar
01:09in South America.
01:11It's the equivalent
01:12hydrologic
01:13of a glass trou
01:14between two galaxies.
01:16It's the only natural canal
01:17on the earth
01:18which relie two big waves,
01:19the Hothorhenok
01:21which gets into the Atlantic Ocean
01:23is the Atlantic Ocean
01:25and the Rio Negro
01:26the most big affluent
01:27of the river gauche
01:28of the Amazon.
01:29This type rare
01:30of division
01:31has the name
01:32of bifurcation
01:33and it is produced
01:34when a river
01:35divide and envoies
01:36its eaux
01:37to two different places.
01:38The Hothorhenok
01:39makes in fact
01:40a part of its eau
01:41profit of Kazichiar.
01:42There,
01:43the eau
01:44s'ecoule lentement
01:45vers le Rio Negro.
01:46During the months
01:47pluvieux,
01:48there are more
01:49inondations
01:50and the currents
01:51more strong
01:52so a large amount
01:53of eau
01:54can be seen.
01:55For many communities
01:56locales,
01:57the Kazichiar
01:58is much more
01:59than a simple canal.
02:00It is sacred.
02:01They look like
02:02a chemin
02:03that the ancestors
02:04have traced
02:05to reunify the great
02:06fleas.
02:07The legends
02:08say that
02:10the river
02:12Wayambo
02:13in Suriname
02:14can couler
02:15either west
02:16or west
02:17the river
02:18Nickery
02:19according to
02:20the number.
02:21The precipitation
02:22and the human activity
02:23are responsible
02:24of this habit.
02:25People install
02:26the ecluses
02:27in the river
02:28to detour
02:29an ecluses
02:30to help
02:31the rizicultors
02:32to obtain
02:33enough
02:34water.
02:35It is
02:36difficult
02:37to control
02:38the Wayambo
02:39and to know
02:40the river
02:42and the river
02:43will be
02:44spread.
02:45It is
02:46a real problem.
02:47If you already
02:48want to drink
02:49water
02:50at the same time,
02:51North 2 Ocean Creek
02:52in Wyoming
02:53is the place
02:54you need.
02:55It begins
02:56in the Teton
02:57and then divide
02:58into two branches.
02:59Pacific Creek
03:00joins the great
03:01river Snake
03:02which will
03:03finally reach
03:04the Pacific Ocean
03:05Pacific.
03:06Atlantic Creek
03:07is headed
03:08to the east
03:09in the river
03:10Yellowstone
03:11and Missouri
03:12as well as
03:13Mississippi
03:14to finally end
03:15in the Gulf
03:16of Mexico.
03:17If you connect
03:18the waters
03:19of the two branches
03:20on a map,
03:21you will get
03:22one single line
03:23between the Oregon
03:24and Louisiana.
03:25between the two oceans
03:26they never had
03:27used to use
03:28this way.
03:29They had just
03:30needed
03:31very small ships.
03:32Some scientists
03:33croient
03:34that the
03:35Fardy
03:36knew this way
03:37before the humans.
03:38they had to migrate
03:39from the river Snake
03:40to the river Yellowstone
03:41very likely
03:42in passing
03:43by there.
03:45The next star
03:46of our list
03:47could pass the
03:48powerful Mississippi.
03:49It is about
03:5012,000 years
03:51the Mississippi
03:52has begun
03:53to deriver
03:54to the Red River
03:55The Mississippi
03:56has remained
03:57its original path
03:58and the water
03:59of the red river
04:00is becoming
04:01what we call
04:02today the river
04:03Atchafalaya.
04:04It was once
04:05obstructed by
04:06trees
04:07on about 48 km
04:08and was not
04:09practicable
04:10for the navigation.
04:11In the 19th century
04:12the European colonists
04:13have removed
04:14all this.
04:15But the water
04:16has so changed
04:17that it could
04:18hurt the lower
04:19Mississippi.
04:20So people
04:21built
04:22special structures
04:23to control
04:24the way
04:25the water
04:26had to go.
04:27From time to time,
04:28half of the Mississippi
04:29could be
04:30entrained
04:31towards Atchafalaya.
04:32This huge amount
04:33of water
04:34is even visible
04:35on the photos
04:36of the satellites.
04:37The digital cartes
04:38and the computer models
04:39also show how
04:40the waters
04:41are divided.
04:42If these systems
04:43of control
04:44were not there,
04:45the Atchafalaya
04:46would probably take
04:47the top
04:48of the Mississippi
04:49The Nouvelle Orléans
04:50would lose
04:51as well
04:52water
04:54and the water
04:55along the Mississippi
04:56would suffer greatly.
04:57The Royal Partido
04:58or the ruisseau
04:59shared in Spanish
05:00in the south
05:01of Argentina
05:02transport also
05:03its waters
05:04towards two oceans
05:05at the same time.
05:06It begins
05:07in the Cordillère
05:08of Andes
05:09and traverse
05:10a forest escarpet
05:11all covered
05:12of trees.
05:13When he comes out
05:14from the canyon
05:15he enters
05:16in a larger area
05:17where a large
05:18large large
05:19one side
05:20of the south
05:21turns
05:22towards the south
05:23and ends
05:24reaching the Atlantic Ocean
05:25the other side
05:26turns towards the north
05:27and falls
05:28into the Pacific Ocean
05:29It's quite unique
05:30as the bifurcation
05:31does not happen
05:32in a plain
05:33but in a mountain
05:34it's a bit like
05:35a creux
05:36between the mountains
05:37mountainous
05:38You will not find
05:39a lot of information
05:40about the Royal Partido
05:41on most of the cartes
05:42this is partly due
05:43to the fact
05:44that the region
05:45has not been well
05:46in the 1800
05:47and partly because
05:48the ruisseau is small
05:49and surrounded
05:50many lakes and rivers
05:51more importants
05:52who usually receive
05:53the attention
05:54of scientists
05:55in addition
05:56there are no more
05:57models of public
05:58for this ruisseau
05:59However,
06:00images of the air
06:01and photos
06:02taken by the travelers
06:03and travelers
06:04have confirmed
06:05the existence
06:06of this bifurcation
06:07a numerical model
06:08also shows
06:09that if you
06:10vers the water
06:11exactly where
06:12it is supposed to be
06:13naturally
06:14in two directions
06:15Divide Creek
06:16is located just
06:17at the border
06:18between the British Columbia
06:19and Alberta
06:20Canada
06:21this river
06:22descends a mountain
06:23and joins a zone
06:24in form of the cell
06:25called Kicking Horse Pass
06:26where it is divided
06:27in two
06:28this is due to the lake
06:29summit
06:30which is located
06:31just west of the
06:32continental line
06:33of the partage
06:34of the eau
06:35a long time
06:36the lake summit
06:37was much bigger
06:38and probably
06:39could have caused
06:40the division
06:41of the river
06:42but at the time
06:43the lake
06:44and it is now
06:45that the west
06:46it has left
06:47behind him
06:48a humid
06:49sea
06:50exactly
06:51the most high
06:52like the Royal
06:53Partido
06:54Divide Creek
06:55does not appear
06:56on many ancient maps
06:57it is small
06:58and the region is covered
06:59with a dense
07:00so that even
07:01the photos
07:02not clearly
07:03the division
07:04of the water
07:05the best proof
07:06that we have today
07:07is from the national park
07:08of Yoho
07:09where a marker
07:10explains the bifurcation
07:11is placed
07:12along the road
07:13and if you are a fan
07:14of adventure
07:15you can take a short
07:16path
07:17which leads directly
07:18to the place
07:19where David Creek
07:20is divided
07:21and now
07:22what would you say
07:23to change the lake
07:24wallastone
07:25is in the extreme
07:26north-est
07:27of the Saskatchewan
07:28Canada
07:29the most fascinating
07:30is that it bifurc
07:31also
07:32near its north
07:33about 90% of its eau
07:35s'ecoulent
07:36dans la rivière Cochrane
07:37et se dirige
07:38de vers le nord-est
07:39tandis qu'environ 10%
07:40se déversent
07:41dans la rivière fond du lac
07:42et vont vers le nord-ouest
07:43l'endroit où l'eau se retrouve
07:45soit dans l'océan arctique
07:46soit dans la baie de Hudson
07:48dépend de quel côté
07:49de la longue péninsule
07:50elle se situe
07:51les cartes et les modèles
07:52montrent qu'il pourrait
07:53encore y avoir
07:54un certain écoulement d'eau
07:55entre les deux côtés
07:56de la péninsule
07:57donc techniquement
07:58ce n'est pas une bifurcation
07:59parfaite
08:00mais cela reste l'une
08:01des caractéristiques naturelles
08:02les plus fascinantes
08:03de la région
08:04la péninsule elle-même
08:05s'érode lentement
08:06et pourrait éventuellement
08:07disparaître
08:08mais les géologues pensent
08:09qu'en raison de la configuration
08:10en Y du lac
08:12l'eau continuera à se diviser
08:13en deux systèmes fluviaux
08:14quoi qu'il arrive
08:15bien avant l'arrivée
08:16des explorateurs européens
08:17les autochtones
08:18Chipewyan
08:19Dénésuline
08:20s'avèrent déjà
08:21que le lac Wollaston
08:22était spécial
08:23il l'appelait
08:24le lac Manito
08:25ce qui signifie
08:26esprit
08:27il croyait
08:28qu'il possédait
08:29des pouvoirs surnaturels
