This is the river within a mile of the Teletubby Land Hydroelectric Station. The river is smaller than itself upstream of the power station because of the dam. This was viewed from the Tubby Tower.
The Teletubby Land Acid River is a 65-mile-long stream in Teletubby Land. It usually traces its way to the mountains where it rises from glaciers. The mouth is at the Teletubby Land Acid Lake, below sea level.
Course[]
The river begins at Tubby’s Glacier on a mountain we know as Pinksnow Mountain. The river forms as the glacier’s outflow. For the first 10 miles of its course, it is a braided stream, a stream with many islands in the middle. At river mile 5.6, it receives its first tributary, Placid Creek and after mile 10, it becomes a narrower stream, about 20 feet wide and 1 foot deep, with a fast current but small rapids, and a pebble-strewn bottom.
After mile 15, it passes the mouth of its first major tributary, the Little Teletubby Land Acid River. After mile 17, this is where it starts to become acidic due to runoff from a tributary stream. To prevent confusion between the two rivers, the Teletubby land acid river is sometimes referred to as the Great Teletubby Land Acid River or the Big Teletubby Land Acid River.
After mile 21, the river enters a canyon and proceeds to flow over the Great Teletubby Land falls, a 170-foot-tall, 1200-foot-wide cascade. After that, the river flows into a slot canyon with more waterfalls and is popular with tourists who kayak it. There are several more waterfalls in the canyon upstream from the great falls, but they are insignificant because most of them are now under the reservoir formed by the dam at the Teletubby Land Hydroelectric Station.
The dam is located at mile 27. It is 300 ft wide and 500 feet deep. The river is kind of small, under 100 miles and during the summer, the dam usually has less flow, so the river is small year-round from here but it still has a robust watershed. From now the river is 25 feet wide compared to the average of 150 feet in the canyon upstream from the great falls. After mile 33, passes the site of the Home Dome it flows out of the canyon and into Maccas Pool, a lake-like widening in the river.
Now the river is 143 feet wide and this is where the next major tributary, the Foster River. After this continued to mile 45, the river is now 120 feet wide and deeper, with a muddy bottom and 10 feet deep on average. After mile 45, it is 230 feet wide, now wide enough for larger vessels to sail upstream. Mile 50 is when it becomes 270 feet wide, and after mile 56 is now big enough at 500 feet to become wide enough for bigger vessels to sail upstream.
During the final 6 miles of the river, the river falls 250 feet sea level despite being many miles from the ocean, it rapidly descends in a series of rapids and cascades and waterfalls like the Livingstone and Inga falls in Doctor Congo for a 4-mile stretch while becoming 766 feet wide and shallower. In the last 2 miles of its run, it is now 1000 feet wide and empties into the Teletubby Land Acid lake.
To help vessels get upstream, the river was modified so that there would be fewer rapids, damaging the ecosystem. The Teletubby Land Acid Lake is below sea level, so to help vessels get to the sea, they built a canal running from the Acid Lake uphill to the Teletubby Land Normal Lake and downhill to the port on the sea, across a strait from Pee Pee Island.
History[]
The river was formed at the end of the ice age 10,000 years ago and it was actually Longer, flowing to the ocean at a different location that is not across the strait from Pee Pee Island, but the southern end of the island. 6,000 years ago, a large earthquake occurred, drastically altering the landscape and creating mountains and the Teletubby Land Normal Lake. Then the Teletubby Land Acid Lake was formed and the river was cut off from the ocean. Then the dam and everything else happened. The end.
