@@georgecable5261At the bottom of the chute it drains into the Rhône river and flows down to Lac Lemon between Montreux and Geneva Switzerland, which must be a terrifically deep glacial lake carved in the last 20,000 years during the last peak glacial period, because it has not yet filled up with all of this debris.
I have seen lots of videos of this. I wish someone would show where this starts and explain why there are so many big boulders every time. and than show where this goes through town and where it ends. amazing for sure. stay safe.
It's in Switzerland, I saw that there is a canyon or hills which easily gets eroded after rain and comes down with the debris and joins the river which carries it over. It's pretty normal at illbregan from what I saw on TH-cam.
The Illgraben has its source in a big cirque that was formed by a gigantic rockfall. Its steep slopes erode due to freezing water in cracks and other weather phenomena; the debris accumulates in the cirque. Whenever there are large rainstorms in the region, the water quickly runs off through the Illgraben, liquefying the gravel and boulders in gigantic debris flows. In the lower portions it has formed a large debris fan, which has displaced the Rhone, the river it empies into all to the other side of the valley. This region has been a major barrier for travel, which is still reflected in the languages of the region. Upstream of the debris fan the language is High Alemannic (a German dialect), downstream it is French.
Thanks for the excellent video footage held in one place to see the phenomenon change over time. I would have liked to have seen if the water got clear later on.

Thank you very much for this excellent video presentation which is very much appreciated. The people are absolutely delighted with the work that you have done in producing this film.
"Flood Fronts" in Australia would have thousands of dead trees, and ground litter at the front of any wave. Millions of tonnes would appear 10 metres high before you say any water. Gum trees lose their lower branches as they grow. That is why you see them all around the world. Firewood + Whole tree to mill.
That's outrageous footage. Looks like wet concrete with the biggest aggregate ever. One thing about being in front of that flow, you never know how far, fast, and high it could get. You DO have some historical high watermarks with the banks. I think you'd be darn near dead if you fell into that, you'd be beaten to crap with those rocks, fast.
The force of water is truly incredible, the size and weight of some of those rocks 😮 It just shows erosion in action and how over geological time scales whole mountains can wear away. Great vid, must have been awesome to be there 👍😎
Wouldn’t that technically just be rain falling on the mountains? After all, it’s got to collect and start flowing first. It would be relaxing to listen to, though
They're watching the upstream spillway from under the roadway bridge. Suddenly Godzilla mud monster appears over the upstream spillway and they're thinking "Hey, why don't we climb further on up the bank here". Yikes
Looking at this, I was just thinking, I used to be a hobby prospector, and sometimes used a small dredge in the river, but was blocked from doing that anymore because i might make the water cloudy, I though that was a little strange considering what mother mature does with things like this. LOL
In the American Southwest, you'll find dry washes all over the place. They're fascinating places, full of great cobbles, very inviting places for off-road driving and camping ... ... except. Let a thunderstorm blow up thirty miles upstream, far enough away that there's not a cloud in the sky where you are, and about an hour later the flash flood will hit. And when you're *in* the dry wash, there often isn't an easy or quick way for a vehicle to get out. That's why locals -- or anyone who's seen how fast a wash can fill with churning debris-laden water -- know that you don't hang out in a dry wash. You cross one quick. You drive along it up on the bank. You camp above it -- but you don't spend more time *in* it than you absolutely have to. Even if it's a hot dry day.
It's form of flash flood. The debris flow starts with rain on the mountain, which collects between the mountains and runs down the channel like a river. But the source is the rain, and sooner or later it stops. Thus the channel dries up between rains. All the debris originates from the side of the mountain that collapsed long ago. Look at his other videos, and Google Illgraben. It's fascinating.
You should never underestimate the power of nature, especially floodwaters, i mean do you actually know what is being carried along under all that murk with all that power?

@@PhilJonesIII Actually, many of them are. Even things like carbon dating...it has been found that over significant amounts of time, sunlight actually increases decay considerably.
What are the parameters that determine the periodicity of the flow surges? How do total flow volume, flow viscosity, particle size, % water to solids, clay percentage, etc govern the time between surge peaks?
QUESTIONS! Where's it coming from? Where's it going to? And is there more than one flow from the source? I would like seeing one of these in person. Thanks for sharing your video with me. Stay safe, Vickie
