"Rivers at Risk: Koch Creek," is the fourth installment in Save Our Rivers Society’s “Rivers at Risk” series which introduces British Columbians to some of the hundreds of our rivers with licenses or applications for disastrous private river power projects.
In this episode we take you to the Slocan Valley - in BC's spectacular Kootenays - to meet a biologist, community organizer, and group of kayakers all joining forces to save their beloved river from a private power project. The project would divert a significant amount of the river's flow through a 2.7 metre-wide pipe for 3.5 km. The kayakers, as part of the Endangered Creeks Expedition, have been paddling rivers and creeks all throughout the Kootenays - among the 80 or so in the region threatened by the Campbell government's private power gold rush - taking pictures and video to raise awareness about this agenda that will deprive British Columbians of control over our water and energy security. Featuring awesome whitewater footage!
Director Damien Gillis
