0 LIKES UnLike

Hi, I am doing a Geography project on BC, and i have to pick some major river systems and talk about them. I have chosen the Columbia River, Fraser River and the Peace River. If you have a suggestion of a better river I could do I would appreciate it. I have to find out if each river is braided or meandering. I also need to know the Drainage patterns they have. Thanks.

P.S. I will give out a best answer to the first person who answers this correctly and tells me how they know!
