Comments[edit]

Hi - some minor edits - can I suggest The Slims River (A'ay Chu) was a glacially fed river in the Canadian territory of Yukon.[1] Until 2016,[2] it originated in the Kaskawulsh Glacier, then ran north approximately 15 mi (24 km) into the southern terminus of Kluane Lake.[3] Over the course of a few days in the spring of 2016 the flow of the river was reduced by changes in drainage from the Kaskawulsh GLacier. Where the meltwater had been draining approximately equally in two directions now it was all draining into the south flowing Alsek River, increasing its flow to between 60 to 70 times that of the Slims River, and further on into the Gulf of Alaska rather than north to the Bering Sea.[4]

Volume of flow, before and after[edit]

This article really needs to supply some scale, with volume of flow or other sizing statistic. — MaxEnt 18:13, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
